Opening A eBay Niche Store

The most overlooked method of making money on eBay is opening a eBay niche store. They are easy to open and free of charge. It requires no computer skills. Ebay actually encourages to open them. Opening a store does alot of things for your eBay business.

You have two options when opening a store. You can open one on eBay where your domain will look some thing like ebay.com/you. The other option is to buy your own domain name and host it there. To do that you will need to buy a store builder. Scroll down the page to read more about store builders.

3 Ways Niche Stores Build Income

1. Adds Credibility To Your Name
The first thing it does is adds credibility to your name. Credibility that says you are a professional seller and not just another no name running a lousy auction business. People will consider buying from you every time they are looking for something in your niche.

2. Allows You To Sell Other Peoples Products
The second thing is does for your business is allows you to sell other people's products. This is probaly the biggest advantage. You can sell your products plus other people's in your stores. Obviously when you sell someone else's product you don't get to keep the money off the product, but get a share of the listing fees.

3. Creates A Long Term Stream Of Passive Income
The third thing a eBay niche store does is creates a long term stream of passive income. How? Well when someone buys a product from your store they are forever linked to you. This means that you get a commission on future products they buy for life. You only get lifetime commissions if they have never bought a product on eBay. Be sure to include a sign up link on every page of your store.

Picking The Right Niche

Before you jump right in and build a store you need some experience. With no experience you are likely to fail even at the simple tasks of opening a store and listing products. Since you are opening a eBay NICHE store you need some simple education on niches.

A niche may be too broad or too narrow. If it is too broad your competition will trump you. If too narrow you will have little buyers. Somewhere in between is ideal. So how do you decide? The answer is common sense.

Lets say you want to sell products in the camping niche(this example applies to all niches). The camping niche itself is too broad. You can't win this niche because there are literally millions of different camping products sold. It is too broad. This is a niche that only a huge online retailer could win.

Try something like camping tents or camping accessories. Those two niches are just right. They are not too broad or too narrow. You could win both those niches. Therefore you could build a huge customer base of people who consider you to be the leading provider in that category.

Store Builders

If you are going to open a niche store hosted by eBay you don't have need to buy a store builder. If you are going to buy your own domain and make it into a store you will need to buy a store builder. Below is a list of the best store builders.
