A few people have asked about the BANS software mentioned in our review of ebay’s affiliate program. If you don’t have the know-how — or the desire — to create your own niche web sites, this is the tool for you.

Questions About the BANS Software

How much does it cost?

It’s $97 right now. This seems like quite a bit. With a single income and a family of three, we don’t have a whole lot of disposable income. However, we would have made this back on our first site in a month or two. The fact that you can create as many sites as you like, makes it more attractive at that price.

How hard is it to set up?

We have friends who aren’t “techies” and who have never put up a web site before, putting up multiple BANS sites.

Aren’t you just trying to make money off of the BANS software?

Yes. But we wouldn’t recommend it or promote it if we didn’t think it would help you make money online. We’re doing it. We aren’t getting rich off of it anytime soon, but the fact that you can put up a site and then make money off of it while you’re setting up your next site is a really great thing.

If a site makes us $50 per month, we’ll put up 100 of them in a year or so. That’s $5,000 a month. Not bad money in our opinion. Anyway, that’s the theory. Stay tuned to see if we get there or not.
