Fresh Store Builder 7 Review

FreshStoreBuilder Review - As Real As It Gets

Fresh Store Builder Review

Let’s cut right to the chase, I DO NOT recommend Fresh Store Builder.  Based on all the hype, I purchased this product myself and gave it a go.  It wasn’t long before I discovered that the only people making money on this product are the ones selling it because it had too many bugs and support was sub-par.

The best advice I can give you on this product, if you read no further, GET A REFUND!  Do it quickly because after 30 days they don’t issue refunds.  It will take at least 30 days to sift through all the garbage to make your first site and another 30 before you find out that the work you did doesn’t pay off as expected.  If they refuse to give you a refund after you’ve had enough, call your credit card company and chargeback.

iPad Mini 2 Unboxing Review vs. iPad Mini 3

February 21, 2015 By Justin

Recently I purchased an iPad Mini 2 for personal use but had to make a decision between the iPad Mini 2 vs. iPad Mini 3.  In the end, I chose the iPad Mini 2 as the better value for a number of other reasons which I’m going to share with you in this article.

The major differences between the iPad Mini 2 vs. iPad Mini 3 are minimal.  The iPad Mini 3 added Touch ID and did away with the 32GB version, kept the 16GB version and added the 64GB and 128GB option.  Outside of the Touch ID, there’s very little that makes the iPad Mini 3 worth the extra cash, making the iPad Mini 2 easily the best value decision.

HostGator 40% Off 10th Anniversary Promotion

October 22, 2012 By Justin

UPDATE – July 2013 – HostGator sold last year to Endurance International which also owns brands such as BlueHost and FatCow, and is no longer the best hosting company.  In fact, they’re becoming the worst hosting company next to GoDaddy.  Since the acquisition it’s been a drag to say the least.  They are now in the practice of overselling their hosting services which is typical of many hosting companies but was something Brent Oxley didn’t allow, hence the reason HostGator became the best in the world.  #hostgatorsucks [Read more…] about HostGator 40% Off 10th Anniversary Promotion

PayPal Review – How safe is PayPal?

January 10, 2008 By Justin

I get this question a lot. I’ve also heard many people talk about how they wont do business with PayPal because they’ve heard of people getting victimized by PayPal. While I can’t speak for everyone else, I want to share a little bit of experience that may be helpful to some other users out there who might be on the fence about doing business on the Internet and choosing Paypal as a service provider.

Build a Niche Store – BANS Review

January 8, 2008 By Justin

Monetizing Your Domain Names

As a domain name collector, I’ve found through the years that there are different ways to monetize traffic to a domain name. I’ve recently experienced a product called “Build a Niche Store“, and consider it to be the best $100 I’ve spent on a ClickBank product. With so many products out there on the market, it would be impossible to use them all but when it comes to monetizing domain names that fall into a niche category, Build a Niche Store is the best I’ve seen.

What is Build a Niche Store?

Build a Niche Store is basically a website system or builder that allows you to create a website quickly serving Niche eBay products via an affiliate RSS Feed from Commission Junction. Essentially, Build a Niche Store is a php software you can unzip and upload to your host and produce a basic eBay Niche store within minutes. The neat thing is that it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to do this. There’s also not an overwhelming learning curve. It’s simple and effective and it seems to be working well based on my experimentation with it so far. The product cost is around $100 and is available for purchase through ClickBank.com.

Niche Stores and Ebay

An eBay Niche store actually makes a lot of sense. If you think about it, you can go to eBay and it takes a while to find exactly what you are looking for. There are so many options and so many ways to search eBay, it can be confusing for someone wanting to browse a certain category. Basically with a Niche Store, you do that searching for them and provide them narrowed results in a nice looking template. The beauty of this is that eBay will pay you for products that are sold through your eBay store.

Hockey Store – StickRack.com – example

This was my first BANS site. Nothing fancy and not a lot of time into it, but effective so far in producing more income than it would if it were parked at Sedo, Fabulous, Domain Sponsor or any others. This website was basically slapped up on the server with about 2 hours getting used to how things work and reading directions. The neat thing is, it’s already producing a little bit of income which so far is more than traditional parking. The potential is there, the next step is optimizing. I’ll do some blogging on this as well.

How you make money with BANS – Build a Niche Store?

That’s simple. eBay has an affiliate program that is managed by Commission Junction that pays you for traffic you send through your site to eBay.

“You will be compensated for traffic you send to ebay.com in two distinct ways: earn between 50% and 75% of eBay’s Revenue (not item sale price) on ALL Winning Bids or Buy It Nows (BINs) within 7 days of an affiliate action AND up to $35.00 for each active registered user!”

Now, I’ve been an eBay powerseller and have sold products on eBay. There’s a lot involved in this. First you have to set up your eBay account… which can take up some time. Then you have to take pictures of items and write descriptions. Usually powersellers have some sort of services they purchase monthly to assist them with this. Once your product is sold, you collect payment and then box and ship to the user. Selling on eBay is not a piece of cake at all. It takes work and emails and following up with your customers. There are many times I’ve sold items and actually lost money on poor shipping calculations, PayPal fees, damaged goods, etc.

With BANS you just sell others peoples items. It’s that easy. The Build a Niche Store software is a content management system all by itself and you simply enter your CJ.com PID into the correct spot on the set-up and then enter the category number of the Ebay items you want to host. The auctions are fed into your site through the affiliate RSS feed. Essentially, you can set up and optimize a store and it’s on autopilot. Then build another one and keep going. The sky is the limit. What’s neat, is you are making money and not having to deal with all the headaches of being an eBay seller.

Here are some steps with Links to get you started:

  1. Build a Niche Store – First step, read the page. Understand it. It’s not a lot of phony hype and it does work. It also provides you with exact directions. Purchase and download the zip file.
  2. Commission Junction – Sign up through their affiliate program. Search for the Advertiser eBay and request to be added as an affiliate. This process is usually approved automatically and quickly.
  3. Hosting Account – Get a hosting account through HostGator. For Niche Stores, I recommend the Swamp which is $14 a month and can host unlimited websites.

The rest is relatively detailed but not difficult at all. I will produce a video for this and upload it eventually with text to follow.

For anyone who purchases Build a Niche Store through my link and gets hosting from Hostgator, I will help you set up your first store as well as your hosting account. Use the contact me link on this website.
