Bans (Build a Niche Software) - First Month Wrap Up
So its almost exactly one month since I purchased the BANS product. I guess 30 days into the program isn’t a good indication on how I am going with it. I originally set up 2 sites and I have done a little bit of backlinking and promo work here and there but nothing too oragnised. I made 5 sales in total over the two sites which amounted to about GB £18. One in particular was around £10 and the others were little sales. In Aussie dollars thats about $45 which is Ok I guess for the first month. I am hoping there will be an increase in month number 2 as the sites will be more established.
The way it works is that when you send a customer to eBay via your site, a cookie will be left in their computer for 7 days. Basically what that means is that if that person who you directed towards eBay bids and then wins an auction within 7 days, you as an affiliate will get around 50% of the fee’s involved in selling that item not the final sale amount of the item.
Check out the fees below. These are the amounts that sellers will pay at the end of the Auction. The amount they owe depends on how much they sell the item for. Basically, I as an affiliate will get around half of these fee’s if I can direct a customer to eBay via my site, and they then buy something within 7 days.
| Final Value Fees | |
| Closing Price | Final Value Fee |
| Item not sold | No final value fee |
| AU$0.01 - AU$75.00 | 5.25% of the closing price |
| AU$75.01 - AU$1,000.00 | 5.25% of the initial AU$75.00 plus 2.75% of the remaining closing price (AU$75.01 to AU$1,000.00) |
| Over AU$1,000.01 | 5.25% of the initial AU$75.00 plus 2.75%of the initial (AU$75.01 to AU$1,000.00) plus 1.50%of the remaining closing price (AU$1,000.01 - closing) |
| Motorcycles | AU$30.00(fixed) for Auction or Buy It Now formats. No final value fee for Classified Ad format unless sold with Best Offer. |
| Cars, Boats, and Other Vehicles | AU$40.00(fixed) for Auction or Buy It Now formats. No final value fee for Classified Ad format unless sold with Best Offer. |
| Real Estate | No final value fee |
Another nice way of getting some money from eBay is getting new customers to sign up as an eBay member. Once again, if you direct a new customer to eBay and they then signup due to your efforts, eBay will reward you around US$25 each time that occurs. BUT this customer must bid at least once during the first 30 days for you to be eligible for this reward. Its a pretty good affiliate program due to the fact that eBay is so well known and trusted by many around the world. But like any site, you need traffic to make this happen.
