Lesson 3 - Choosing a Domain Name and a Niche store!
STOP! If you do not have your eBay affiliate account yet, do not read this! I have to make sure you can get paid before you purchase this software. Without eBay affiliate account, you cannot get paid! Set it up! If your affiliate account is approved, we can move on :)
From a lesson 2. Your keyword research is very important so make sure you really go through it. If you did not, go back to it. But if you did, lets move on :) Now let me explain a little more about niche stores and why this system works. First off, people are not as happy to buy online from an unknown store! With so many people having their identity theft stolen, people are scared to buy online. When they are taken to a trusted store, there is a relief that happens to them. When people shop online, if they are taken to an eBay or Amazon store (recognizable name), they are more willing to buy that product. Now, one store may only bring in about $10-20 dollars per month (if the price is too low) (but if niche is chosen right, I KNOW it can bring you in a lot more), but after the initial software cost you can build as many sites as you want! So lets say you have 10 sites and each of them is bringing in $100 (which is easy to accomplish) that is at least a $1000/month. Now add to that adsense profits and other banners you display on your site, you may be making the 2-3K in a few months. I will repeat that it is not easy but if you follow everything I outlined and other things that are on the way, you will be making money within 30 days! I know it! Just put the work into it, it is as simple as that! So lets move on. How do you chose a domain name? This is vary important! You do not want to pick anything that does not connect with the product! For example: abcjennifershop.com is not a good domain name I know you love your kids too, but Kevin and Jane Shop is not good domain either. What you want your domain to have is the main keyword in it. So if you are selling baby carrier than your domain name has to consist of those keywords. A lot of simple domain names are taken so baby carriers may be hard to find, but if that is the case than try different options such as baby-carriers.com or Baby-carriers.net (I try to stick with .com because people just remember it a lot more) If that does not work, than try adding baby-carriers-sale.com or discounted-baby-carriers.com or backpacks-baby-carriers.com. Just do not pick something too generic, make it targeted! It helps you with getting more searches. Also I use GoDaddy.com to purchase my domains. I know a lot of people are happy with them. However, I do not use them for hosting, only for my domain names. This is very important! Do not pick a domain name that has brand name in it! For example, you do not want to include Bjorn Carrier because you may have a conflict of interest with Bjorn Company. So stay away from that. Go to This Site To Get The current Promo Codes for GoDaddy.com Side Note: it is important to register a domain under private. It costs a little more, but it is well worth it! I have heard of some sites getting hacked into that were not registered as private. Keep your godaddy.com password strong! As mentioned before, you need to host more than one site so I found hostgator.com works just fine. Easy to navigate even though I have none of the technical skills. It cost $9.99/month for unlimited domains! Since you need to plan on having at least 10 domains, it would cost you a lot more if you went with some other hosting companies. Plus most people who do use buildanichestore software, they use hostgator.com for their hosting. 16 weeks money back guarantee! If you purchase bans through my link, Build a niche store automatically comes with the 8 week refund policy, however, I will give you additional 8 weeks (total of 16) if you are not happy with it. I will buy the software back from you for the full price of $97. But I guarantee to you, that if you purchase this software and do everything I outlined for you, you will most likely make that money back with in 30 days! Just do the work! The only catch with this is that you have to show me that you did do the work! I can show you how, you have to do the work!
----------> Build a Niche Store Software<--------------
FYI, Build a Niche Store (sometimes is referred to as Bans!) I also want you to understand that it will be tough to build a first site just because everything is new! When you get the software, you will have to install it on your computer and you will have to use your hosting to upload the files. You will be provided with the manual on how to do all of this. You will also be guided to sign up for few things including the FTP program to upload your files. I know there are some you can pay for, but this one works just fine for me and the best of all it is free :) http://www.coreftp.com/ Call me cheap but I wasted too much money on unnecessary things. :) Bans software comes with unlimited access to their forum where you will learn how to make your sites better. But to be honest with online stores, they need to look o.k., friendly on the eye, and the price to be right! People will buy! Very important! Take it easy and slowly when building your first site! Read every line of the manual! Take a break when it gets to be too much. It is only difficult because you are learning it for the first time and if you have some html experience you may move a little quicker than the rest of us! The next site will be up in half the time, and the site after that in a day or two!
Your homework for next 3 days is to get familiar with bans site! Put up the basic store. Color it, (use colormybanstool.com) design the logo, etc. Do not concentrate on keywords yet. We will implement them really fast! This is of course new to you! And it will be a little challenging at first, but the second site can be up in 2-3 days! So get busy and I will talk to you soon!
