Build a Niche Store 3.0

I just got an email a while ago about Build a Niche Store. They recently just came out with version 3.0. A lot of talk has been brewing about on what to expect from BANS and what they will do to better suite other requests. I know personally it has done me some justice and I earned a pretty good handful with my BANS store during the holiday season.

Now they have come out with a version 3. I know the interface will change but what about the default templates? They probably kept the crappy 2 column and 3 column templates. But all together BANS is a useful agile tool to have.

Directly from their email:

A lot of new features have been added to BANS V3.0 and consequently there have been some quite significant changes to what was the User Manual and which has now become:

- Manual 1: Installation Manual: which covers pre-building and installing BANS.
- Manual 2: User Manual: which covers building and developing your niche stores.

Installation Warning:

Updating one of your stores from V2 to V3 will be a simple process (ie minutes) and the guidelines for doing this will be included in the update pack.

At this stage we haven’t determined whether or not it will be possible to jump from a V1.3 store straight to a V3 store but the reality of this will be concluded by release date.

I can’t wait to update my BANS and see what is in store for me. According to the email the interface has changed and they will be releasing some new templates but that was taking too long so they delayed it. It makes sense since I can create my own website anyways; I mean I did it with my first Build a POS Store I mean BANS.

With some new advancements one other feature added onto version 3 of Build a Niche Store is modifying product listings on each store page according to the following criteria: eBay seller id, min and max bids, min and max price and by geographical location. This is a great feature especially the geographical location and sorting it by seller. This gives more or a neatness to the system and overall concept of a store.

Here is a quick sneak peek of what the new interface will look like:

As you can see, there is more of a web 2.0 touchy feel to it, the colors are relaxing and the interface looks very well nourished. I will be shortly downloading my new version and play around with it tomorrow. But if you do not have a Build a Niche Store yet, I suggest grabbing one because it is a really good take on earning money online.

    I agree, just grabbed myself a copy and other then the stupid “session error” which is probably the host or whatever or something small that I can correct, BANS 3 is definitely a winner.

    I installed BANS 3 on my new sites but didn’t want to update the first three sites I had created in version 2. I don’t trust updates to programs that make me money just in case they mess everything up and stop my income flow.

    Funny how we think.

    I only did my update to those three sites yesterday and it was a piece of cake. A couple of minutes to send the new files up another minute or two running an update file and I was running version 3.

    Just curious, after the switch from CJ to Ebay Partner, have you noticed a drop off in sales?

    I have not notice any change – but I have also been slacking on the promotion on my BANS – just recently worked on a new concept for BANS as well – so I will be promoting my 2 new sites soon! updates to come :)

    I just started using BANS and love it. I really have not had much success with affiliate marketing outside of eBay. So BANS fits me perfect.

    I am kind of shocked though that people think they can just throw a site up and have it make money. Like everything else, content is king. BANS sites are no different. Content, content, content.

    I started using BANS, then gave up and created my own stores from scratch.

    There is a new course out on the web which only costs $37 – a fraction of the cost of BANS – and it teaches you how to achieve the same result.

    Just check the link below.

    Bans is great but for people just starting out one of the free packages may be more benefit until they know they can make money from their niche… 2 free packages to try are phpbay lite and mans… both free scripts to start you off.. phpbay lite is the better of the two..

    Good Luck
