Here I will explain a little about how to start an eBay affiliate business. This is a low cost business. It does not require a lot of money, but it does require a lot of time if you are not willing to invest. In fact, this business can be started for free, but, of course, it is better to invest a little in it.
So how much does it cost? Like I said, there are ways to make money without investing money. There are websites like Squidoo that will share earnings from eBay and Amazon modules with you, as well as earnings from AdSense. So yes, you can get started for free, but I think for the efforts you’re going to put in, it’s better to invest a bit. I’ll explain why.
To invest a bit of money, there is a cost for software ($97 one-time fee), hosting (approx $10/mo unlimited stores) and domain ($10-20) for each store. With this software called create a niche store, you can create unlimited eBay affiliate stores, so it’s nice to have hosting that is also unlimited for each domain. I host 10 total with my subdomain for the same fee of $10 per month. And I have 7 main domains, with some small subdomains.
Finding the profitable niche, proper keyword research, basic SEO (search engine optimization) of your website, and lots of promotion are required to make your affiliate program successful.
I said earlier that I think it’s better to invest in the software just because the amount of work you’re going to put into promoting your stores and you probably want to keep 100% of the profits.
