Build a Niche Store Process Series

I want to point out an excellent resource for people starting out with the Build a Niche Store software titled “Build a Niche Store Process Series.” Authored by Mark Hansen, the series covers how to setup a profitable BANS store from start to finish.
I mention this site because I want to give credit where credit is due. Mark’s blog series really boosted my understanding of how to properly setup and use BANS to make commissions.
Now I’m not saying I agree with everything Mark discusses in the series. For example, he advocates a more passive approach to building the sites, through proper search engine optimization. The theory here is that if you base your BANS store around the proper keywords, once the search engines pick up your site, you’ll get natural traffic and sales through people using the search engines. While I agree with this strategy, I prefer combining it with a more proactive marketing approach.
However the beauty of Mark’s series is that it explains everything in such detail, that you can learn so much, even if you prefer to do things differently. In fact, my proactive marketing approach is better off after learning the things I read on Mark’s blog.
If you’re new to Build a Niche Store, you owe it to yourself to read the “Build a Niche Store Process Series.”

Hi Jon -
Thanks for the nod on the process series. I have also started a second series which will also focus a bit on the PPC and Proactive Marketing methods as well as organic strategy.
I added the link in my profile of this post - click on the name. Or, the full url is: http://www.thenichestorebuilder.com/the-foundation-of-building-a-niche-store-empire-in-12-weeks.htm
Thanks again, I hope you can help us further the BANS product with some insight of your own throughout the series.

Thanks for the nod on the process series. That particular series was somewhat rushed as I set myself a goal of getting it all completed in the shortest amount of time.
I have just started (02/04/08) a followup series titled Build a Niche Store Empire in 12 Weeks that is already beginning to gain some great momentum from readers. It is linked in my sig…
Also - can you tell me what screen recorder you used for your videos? I have struggled with a few others that wont cap the sound and video in a manner that makes it easy to display.
By the way - great posts!

Hey Mark, I apologize for the delayed reply. This is a new blog for me and it has already been inundated with spam comments, so I was a little behind on approving and replying to legit comments, but I think I got caught up now.
In my videos, I’m using the latest version of Camtasia 5. I downloaded the free Camtasia 3 they were giving away last Fall, and used to to get an upgrade price on the new version. Then I’m just using a simple Logitech USB headset for the audio. If you have further questions on it by all means let me know. -Jon
Mark - thanks for sharing the link to your second series. Just so everyone knows, I’m getting the e-mail updates for it and they’re terrific, so I plan to blog about the series shortly… very good stuff!
