How to Get Started in the eBay Partner Program

Recently, eBay announced it would manage it's own partner program and ousting Commision Junction from it's lofty heights. This article will give you some base information plus information on the BANS program which is the software that will enable average people to build as many niche websites as wish all connecting to eBay auction items.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Ability to read instructions and follow step by step procedures
• Time to create and generate either search engine based items or use software to create websites.

1. Thanks for joining me! I wanted to get this article out pretty quick because this is great news for people who DO NOT want to sell items on eBay, but still want the connection. The first you must know is that you are a partner of eBay and you will be paid to sell OTHER PEOPLES STUFF, not your stuff.
2. Secondly, you can choose a wide variety of marketing methods, such as free or paid advertising or you can choose to use software to create custom web sites. Now, here is the difference, since I do and have done both, the search marketing takes a lot of time, creates mixed results and commands a lot of upkeep. You will have to enter links into search engines and create your own excitement and advertisements. Personally speaking, I lost interest because of the amount of work it took to do this and even though it was profitable, the time it took outweighed the overall value of doing it.
3. You can do whatever you like, I always like to look and see what is available to me, that will make it easier to accomplish the same end results. I have developed several web sites and it takes a lot of time to get everything to work correctly and you must update constantly.
   BANS (Build a niche store) takes all the work out of the development and the updating and offers you the option to customize your site that will link through to your eBay Partner Program.
4. If you looking for something that is interesting and different, I myself have just started using it and it is very simple to create a fully functional website in literally minutes. The toughest about doing this is picking out domain names, remember short and to the point.

Tips & Warnings

• Read the entire program page, you will own this software and create as many sites as domain names you want to own.
• You will need hosting, there is a link on the web page you will preview, hosting is like your "rent" on a building, BUT MUCH CHEAPER!
• Use eBay Pulse to get the most search items, it is updated monthly.
• The pages are set up to be entered on search engines, you will not need to tediously enter each link.
• You may learn something new.
• If you are new to internet marketing, it is confusing at first, but with time and trial comes knowledge.
• If you are not into working the internet for business, this is not for you
• If you want to make instant cash, this will take some time to build so be patient.
