How to Make Money with BANS

BANS or Build A Niche Store is a system that will build websites for you, which will generate traffic to Ebay, and in the process will make some profit for you. In other words, it's a money making machine. The system costs $97 dollars and I'll give you more specs on what it does later in the lens. I have signed up with BANS somewhere at the end of November and somewhere in the middle or the end of December I had my first site up and running. Since that time, I managed to make around $800, which can be just peanuts for somebody, but nonetheless, it proves that the BANS system works and this proof can be just that little something for somebody who is just starting with BANS or yet to make a decision whether they want to sign up with BANS or not.

As I stated earlier, I'm not a "guru" and I'm not going to claim that you can and will make thousand dollars with BANS with little more than just lifting a finger and that you can make a site in ten minutes. It is a LOT of work and a lot of thinking, learning, and research. Unless of course you're a guru already and then I'm not sure what you're doing here reading this lens. It is possible to make money with BANS and even make thousands, but it will take a lot of your time and some of your money (not much) - at least that's how it worked for me. By the way, it is possible to make a site for even less than 10 minutes, but definitely not on the first try (no matter how many videos you watched) and definitely this site without extra work won't make you thousands. But before I tell you more about BANS, there is of course a question.

Any online money making system will raise this question at once - am I getting scammed here - and not without a reason. There're hundreds and hundreds of individuals online who are making or trying to make money by scamming other naïve and inexperienced people. In the case of BANS - you're definitely not getting scammed. First, you are 100% protected with 60 days money back guarantee, second it works as otherwise I wouldn't be writing this lens (as I'm an honest guy and wouldn't scam anyone ever - promise :), and third you will see for yourself that it just can't be a scam as the concept is extremely simple, clear, and legitimate. And now...

BANS stands for Build A Niche Store, and a Niche in this case is any group of items of the same kind, which can be either broad or narrow: Cars is a broad niche for example, and Toyota Corolla is a narrow niche. The BANS system will help you to build websites around niches that you select, you can have a look at one very basic example right here - bans-test. This website is built around the Antique Music Instruments niche, but it's pretty much out of the box version - the one that you can build for 10 minutes. So, if someone clicks on any of the items then makes a bid and wins it, you'll get a half of ebay's commissions or little bit more depending on your total sales. If someone doesn't have an ebay account or wants another account and registers with ebay via your site and then makes a bid and win, you'll get $25 for this new registration.

But wait, there is more! (Sorry, but I couldn't resist it ;) The whole system works on the cookie basis (a cookie is a little bit of information stored on a computer and used for authenticating and tracking purposes). When somebody clicks through your site and goes to ebay, they're getting a cookie planted on his or her machine, which will live there for another seven days (that's all legal and that's how ebay or any other online affiliating works, don't worry). It means that if this somebody goes to ebay (through your site or directly) during these seven days and wins something, you will get your share again. The same for registrations, but that cookie lives even longer - 30 days. As you can see, there is no vagueness about how it works - everything plain and simple.

So, the next question you might have is, if everything so nice and easy, how come everybody has not yet left their daytime jobs and happily building BANS sites? Well if you try googling "Powered by Build a Niche Store", you'll get around 250,000+ listings. It's not the number of websites of course, but it will give you a rough idea of how many people tried... and apparently not everyone succeeded (you'll probably find that quite a few of them will look like the one I gave a link before). And of course here comes the main question:

There is no proven way of being successful with BANS as with anything else in this world, but there're a few things that you can consider and that may help you on your own way to success.

The first thing I'm going to mention is uniqueness. You will hardly be completely unique whatever you do, but trying to be at least different will do the trick. And now what I actually meant by this. If you have another look at this site again, you'll see that it has exactly the same category structure as it exists on ebay. So if five or five hundred other entrepreneurs make a website for antique music instruments (which is not a bad choice for a niche by the way) in the same way you did (out of the box), they will end up with 5 or 500 sets of duplicating each other web pages. Which of course hardly can be competitive.

The same goes for unique content (i.e. articles, descriptions, comments, and more). You have probably noticed, but there is no unique or any other content on this bans-test site and that's why no search engine will ever like it and rank it high. A good article, on the other hand, for a given good term (History of French Horns for example), would have more chances to be noticed, and having a link from this article to your page with listings of French or even other horns will generate some traffic.

Another very important thing in the process of optimising your site is building quality links (or backlinks), which is basically just a reference to your site from any other site. Sounds simple, but in fact you have to be very careful where you're getting your links from (you don't want to have a link to your antique music instruments site from a porno site) and be careful not to become a spammer while getting these links (like leaving it in all forums you visit and getting eventually banned for it).

And last but not least - patience is a virtue in our business. The first year can be a rough ride for any site, BANS or not, and you will have ups and downs until your site is settled in about a year time. With downs meaning no or little traffic, nowhere to be found in any search engines, and other nastiness that can easily bring you in despair and that's exactly the time when you have to be patient and don't give up - just wait it over, keep working, and you shall be rewarded :)

I have started a blog a few days ago about making money with
BANS. Don't expect to see too much there now, but I'm going to update it on some regular or semi-regular basis, sharing my thoughts and experience and trying to give insight and inspiration for anybody who needs it :)
