Hello all, I am thinking of purchasing BANS. Quick question, are most people having success with this product. I know the answer is relevant to how much effort you put behind it, but is the potential to make money there? Thanks
The answer is a resounding YES! And, yes, you do have to do the work. The difference with eBay is that it converts very well. Often the commissions will be small, but volume makes up for it. There are other platforms and ways of accessing the eBay database. Some people are put off by the $97 purchase price. All I can say is that I bought it in December and have recovered the $97 many times over. My revenues continue to grow. I'm experienced with affiliate marketing, and am pleased with the way things are going. IMO, BANS is feature packed. I'm not a programmer, so it has served my purposes well. You'll find some detractors who feel it's not worth the price. Those folks usually are experienced php code monkeys, or are fearful, based on little knowledge or experience, IMO.
Honestly, I think you will be better off using phpBay Pro with WordPress. Bans is nice, but you must add content or else your site will either drop off in google or just not perform well. In my opinion, if you have to add content, you might as well use WordPress. My 2 cents
This is slightly off topic, but please make sure you got accepted to eBay affiliate program before buying related tools (BANs or phpBayPro). Check out my blog below for more tips of BANS.
Yes for sure. Don't bu BANS until you have an affiliate account established with eBay and Cj first. The new BANS 3.0 is pretty cool. Good luck
I've found pretty good conversions with BANS... I've been dissapointed by the low amount of ACRUs though... I just find it hard to believe that so few buyers are first timers... But that's my main gripe. Otherwise BANS has been worth the investment.
To ensure sustainable profits and traffic, you should add in unique contents such as videos, tips and tutorial. Reason? The typical BANS site look like "thin" affiliate sites that Google doesnt really like.
I have been really happy with my bans purchase. It might not be for everyone. I was hesitant because of the price but after purchasing i was glad i did. I'm not very technical at all and the forum helps out a great deal.
for quite some time now I've been searching for some sort of affiliate income that is the least time consuming as possible. I recently just got started with BANS. I've been amazed with such quick profits. I think BANS is something I'm going to stick with. I would recommended it to anyone.
How to get started with affiliate marketing ? Does BANS work with CJ or ebay ? What forums to read about affiliate marketing ?
To get started with BANS you first need to sign up for CJ and then sign up as an Ebay affiliate under CJ. I've just reading this forum to learn about how to market it. Really BANS is just like any site. On page SEO and link building.
I basically agree with everything this guy said. BANS is killer and you can make alot of cash from it. I had my first $132 commission the other day.....its all in the Niche. Hope this helps, JR
@Themarketingmadman: How long did it take you to get your first $132 commission? (if you dont mind my asking)
It is one of those purchases and kick yourself many times over because you research and research and then after you make money to buy it many times over you kick yourself for not buying it sooner. At least that is my experience. I research products in depth before I buy and 9 out of ten times they do real well. One other product I like that did real well for wordpress is phpbay I bought it the same day I bought bans and have not looked back! I think the reason I stalled on the purchase was I though that I would be doing better collecting aluminum cans what I did not realise was how many people actually search for products that are available on ebay and not to mention the signups are a great bonus. I try to target niches that would involve the type of buyer that may not be an ebay user. So not am I only looking for a nice niche I am looking for niches where buyers may not already be registered ebay users. All I can say is BANS is one of two of the best purchases I have made in the last 9 years of affiliate marketing! I just can't believe I waited so long to buy it! phpbay I stumbled across and it is a nice wordpress plugin. I have to keep asking myself what in the hell was I thinking!
The coolest thing about BANS is it allows you to quickly build a site and then move on to the next. Once you get a "system" down, you can find the kinds of niches that work for you and crank out many sites. Highly recommended.
