“Sell products you don’t own, store, or even pay for”, sound familiar? You may have heard a commercial on the radio like this and thought it sounded to good to be tue. I’m not exactly sure what this advertiser is promoting but I do exactly the same thing with “Build A Niche Store”.
“Build A Niche Store” revolves around eBay but doesn’t involve you selling a single thing in the eBay marketplace. Using this concept doesn’t require any inventory, shipping, support or any contact with the buyer. This business model is based on the eBay affiliate program and a great tool which makes entry into this opportunity not only possible but also super easy.
What is an affiliate program? – an affiliate program enables you to promote the products of a company in exchange for a commission on all sales that you refer. You are basically operating as an internet middleman and connecting internet browsers to particular products by promoting them through your own network of websites and marketing methods. Using this concept the eBay affiliate program, actually invites you to promote all of the product listings in the eBay marketplace and in exchange for your efforts will pay you up to 75% of the revenue they make from each sale you refer plus up to $35 for each new active eBay member you refer.

This means is that you can earn up to 75% of eBay’s revenue simply for connecting people to the products listed in the eBay marketplace.
Not only do you get to partner with the best branded marketplace in the world, you also get access to and control over ALL of the products listed in this marketplace. The eBay product inventory becomes YOUR product inventory and yet you do NOT have to stock items, deal with customers, organize shipping or process refunds.
You are no longer limited to selling only those products which you can buy and sell for a profit margin. You can choose ANY one of over 27,000 niche markets and promote those eBay products relevant to your chosen niche outside of the eBay marketplace, funnelling targeted traffic through to eBay and into your own affiliate commissions.

If you know eBay you know how BIG it is – there are NO limits.
At this point you might be thinking - well this sounds interesting but in reality is there any money in it? Well, here’s the shocker – eBay’s top affiliates make over 1 million dollars a month. That’s right – 8 figures a year without stocking, selling or shipping a single thing!
Now eBay does provide some basic free tools to help you succeed as an eBay affiliate and build an affiliate business BUT it has been the development of a tool outside of eBay that has really opened this up as a legitimate business
opportunity.
The tool, as I mentioned earlier, is called “Build A Niche Store” and what it enables you to do is build eBay affiliate websites targeted to any eBay niche you want. These act as the medium through which you funnel targeted visitors to eBay. Here are a couple of examples, one targeting Nascar Race Fans and the other Golf Equipment:
NASCAR Race Fans
Discount Golf
As you can see, these are professional looking websites that contain all of those eBay products related to their target niche inside a searchable store format, each of which automatically contains your eBay affiliate id.
These stores then automatically update as new products are listed for sale and old listing expire from the eBay marketplace and the software has built in development features which enable you to create new store pages, add content to these pages, create content pages, modify your template etc etc. Basically, in the space of about 10 minutes (once you are familiar with how the software works) you can create a fully functional eBay affiliate website targeted to the niche market of your choice.
Your store content is all search engine friendly which will provide the foundation for attracting targeted traffic from the search engines and you can then use the development features to attract more targeted visitors which will in turn mean more eBay affiliate commissions. It really is a brilliant concept and I’ve been hearing great things about the guys behind the project and the member forum which you get lifetime access to when you purchase the product. Build A Niche Store comes with a step by step user manual which will walk even the most technically inexperienced through setting up their eBay affiliate website, 9 professional template layouts which can be customized (from inside your admin panel) to match your target niche, lifetime member forum access, comprehensive product support and possibly most importantly – an UNLIMITED domain license which means you can build as many of these niche websites as you want for the small one time fee. Think about how many niches eBay caters to! How big could your eBay affiliate business be?!
This is how i make my money! You can too!
