Build A Niche Store.com: Review
Yesterday, I received a couple of enthusiastic emails about Build A Niche Store.com (BANS), a site that "Make Money As An eBay Affiliate By Building Your Own eBay Affiliate Stores Just Like These". The premise is that using the software from this site, you can build your own online store that offers the eBay affiliate program, plus AdSense. The cost of the software is $97.
http://www.buildanichestore.com
Here's the thing ...
* AdSense and the eBay affiliate program are FREE. It costs you nothing to join.
* AdSense and the eBay affiliate program are EASY to install on any site. All it takes is a piece of code.
So, we might wonder why you need this software? You don't actually. You can easily build sites like this without any help from anyone.
So is the software totally useless? If you're a newbie and don't know squat about building webpages, then it might have some value. But here's the thing ... it has no answer to the #1 most important, pivotal question:
If you're a newbie - and need this software - you won't have an answer for this question!
If you're experienced - and know how to get traffic to this site - you don't need it.
The email promises that it's "online 24/7". So what? If nobody sees your store, what good is it?
Another problem: You have "A Choice Of 28,926 Niche Affiliate Stores To Build" This means, there can only be one of each of these 28,926 topics. Now, that's not a bad thing - we don't want 49 identical stores. But the thing is that if I build my own stores, I can darn well build whatever I want without getting permission from anyone else. You do NOT need the permission of the owners of this software to build as many eBay stores as you wish, with as many different products as you desire.
Verdict:
- Possibly OK software for newbies who don't know how to build sites.
- Totally unnecessary for everyone else.

I have to say that if I had not taken the Auction Genius Course, this type of shortcut would probably have been of interest to me. However, having learned what I have via your course, it seems inadequate. Rather than giving (or in this case selling) us a fish, you have taught us a variety of ways to fish for ourselves.
