I’m making the assumption that at this stage you already know what Build A Niche Store (BANS) is all about. If you don't click the link to learn more.

These are step by step instructions on how to get started:

1) Click here to find a domain that's available. Do not purchase a domain here since you'll get a discount when buying the domain and hosting as a combined package (see next step).

2) Click here to review and purchase your domain and hosting. Browse the various plans and choose the one that's right for you. Choose one of the Linux Web Hosting plans. The Hatchling program only allows 1 domain, which is fine if you plan on hosting only one site. But if you plan on multiple domains, which most people do, go with the Baby plan. Use coupon code "SPRING" to get a 20% discount (expires June 1, 2008)

3) Click here to join eBay Partner Network. This is the affiliate program. You will be notified via email when you are approved. It's always possible for anyone to be declined, which is at the discretion of eBay and their policies. If you're not approved, you can try again at a later time. Continue to the next step after you have been approved.

4) Click here to purchase your BANS script after you have been approved by eBay. The cost for this program is $97.

After you've successfully completed all of the steps above, follow the instructions provided by the script, which will walk you through the installation process. After it has been successfully installed, it will also walk you through the setup process, which is very simple.

If you've made it this far, congratulations and good luck.
