    Help on what to do

    Today, I stumbled upon a word called BANS and so then i researched about it on what it is and so got interested and got motivated also and blah blah., so now my question is what BANS software should i choose?
    the one that buildanichestore(.)com is giving or Incomestores(.)com? although i dont know if incomestores accept foreign countries since i live somewhere in asia..
    and personally i think i need some advices like do i pay for my own domain and hosting?

    You could use a free host, but you do need to purchase a domain. I myself suggest buildanichestore but there are better alternatives.
    You should also note that google has made it so buildaniche stores or any type of store like that are lower in google ranking. There was an article about this a few months ago, I will see if I can find it for you.

    Would just like to chime in and say, When BANS was popular, so was the Ebay Partner Network (EPN). Be wary of any reviews you read from so long ago, because EPN pays now on a completely different structure, and as much as I've read about it, it has been all bad. Extremely low payouts now. I could be wrong, but that is what the majority of people are saying.

    Ontop of that, Do you already have an EPN account? Because getting them nowadays is extremely hard.

    I wouldn't advise using EPN at all. They don't seem to pay anything at all anymore. I went, literally, from earning between $500-$1000/ monthly and now I am lucky to earn $10 monthly with them anymore.

    I have seriously considered quitting advertising for them anymore. I am really waiting on my last payment from them before removing all ads from my sites.

    I agree with the above comments regarding BANS & EPN. The Bans developers have basically abandoned the project and EPN has changed their affiliate structure. Most people doing EPN seem to have moved over to Amazon. If you do want to go the EPN route I would suggest setting up a blog in Wordpress combined with an ebay plugin like phpbaypro or (free) wordbay.

    That way, if you decide EPN is not for you, it's easier to switch to another affiliate network.

    Good luck!
