Our #1 Choice!

Rating: Build A Niche Store, popularly known as BANS is an excellent tool for webmasters to use to turn existing web pages into cash producing sites. It essentially allows anyone to use eBay’s existing listings to create a niche store. In doing so, it allows webmasters to profit from other people’s eBay items through the eBay affiliate program.

How?

You pick the product/niche you want to use, do a little bit of configuration, and the software will build your web store. It allows you to sell very targeted items to your visitors. Like most web site building products, you still have to figure out how to get the traffic to the site to make money, so you will have to find ways to promote your store. Most importantly, the software license allows you to build unlimited sites so if something doesn’t work, you can always try another idea.

Ease of Use

Build A Niche Store allows you to build an entire website in minutes. With a few clicks, you have a template, a home page, and an outline that will display eBay products that are relevant to your niche, ready for sale on your own store.

More importantly, it allows you to easily create many pages that are each monetized giving you the advantage of having thousands of pages that bring in sales on automatically, without any further effort on your part. You get to chose from millions of ebay products just by choosing your niche.

Recommendation

We rank BANS #1 because of its features and the fact that it has been around for a year and a half and has a proven track record of success. It has grown into one of the most popular affiliate marketing tools on the internet, supporting 11 eBay affiliate marketplaces ( Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, India, Italy, Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, United Kingdom and the United States , has a user base of over 9,000 from over 2 dozen countries and a community forum with close to 100,000 posts.

Amazon has partnered with AmazingWebStores.com to provide a solution which allows businesses to create e-commerce websites to earn money online selling amazon products using Amazon technology. you will have an entire store populated with items of your choice. You never have to ship a product, pay a listing fee or any other hassles that goes along with selling items online.This is very similar to BANS, except that you sell Amazon products, not ebay auction products.

Reccomendation

We rate Amazon’s Amazing WebStores #2, because it is relatively new; however, we expect it to do very well like BANS on the back of Amazon’s huge popularity and market dominance. You can choose to sell from the millions of Amazon products with its huge database of reviews that come with each Amazon product description. This is what has made Amazon the #1 internet retailer and these reviews will help give  the products you sell on your WebStore the competitive advantage.

Rating: Datafeedr takes the feed from several affiliate managers (including Click Bank, Commission Junction, ShareASale, NetShops and Link Share) and allows you to sell your chosen items for a commission. You are not limited to one site. You can make unlimited numbers of sites. Just chose your niche, as long as you don’t exceed the 10,000 product limit for each store.

You can easily give your store a unique touch by moving & adding modules and adding text & images to your pages without using any code. You can add non-datafeed products to your store which is ideal if you want to add your own products or products from merchants with no datafeeds.

Works with WordPress

You can also seemlessly integrate your store with WordPress and take advantage of the vast number of free themes and plugins available. Your store will match your blog’s theme and the “drip” feature will enable you to automatically post products to your WordPress blog. You can control the posting interval & how products are organized. Products can be embedded into blog posts & articles so you can put products in front of users when they are not viewing the store.

Make extra money as an Affiliate

The program also offers the opportunity to become an affiliate and promote Datafeedr.  It offers recurring commissions. That means for every month that a member you referred stays an active member you get commission for the sale.

Setup

The sites are easy to build and setup, and after doing a few, it will become very easy. However, it will not be as quick to setup as either a BANS or Amazon WebStores site. Amazing WebStores and BANS both use their own products, but Datafeedr uses the products from several Affiliate Networks to increase variety. The drawback is that you will have to join the networks in order to sell their products. This is usually a simple process, but it adds a few more steps to the setup process. Depending on the products you choose to sell, you may never need to join some networks at all.

Datafeedr & WordPress

A basic knowledge of WordPress is also essential to quickly understand and use Datafeedr, but WordPress is so simple to learn, this should not be a bother. The real idea with Datafeedr is to take advantage of the poularity of blogging and in particular WordPress (the world’s most popular blogging software- by far). Static pages will be used for the store, while posts are used as supporting data to enhance the store. Search engines love blogs and as long as you post, search engines will come and index your site so you can be reached when people search the web for your products. The “drip” feature makes posts automatically so you don’t have to do this extra work. This is how your store gets free advertisement.

Recommendation

I have several Datafeedr sites as I like the idea of using WordPress to make my stores. Instead of maintaining a blog and a web store seperately, I have them on one site so I don’t have to be moving from one to the other. The SEO benefits from having a blog attached to a store is priceless. You’ll also get cheaper clicks and avoid penalties (slaps) from Google and Yahoo (Overture) pay-per-click searches. Why? They now require that you have related content and provide information on the site you are promoting. A blog allows you to do just that, which is why I highly recommend Datafeedr.
