Back in the early days of my sales training, we’re talking way back, I recall sales guru, Brian Tracy reciting a line that somehow stuck with me all these years. It goes like this: “The basics are boring, but the results are beautiful.” I’m sticking with that mantra for now as I build my first BANS site.
The first bit of advice I can give you if your building an eBay Affiliate Store using BANS is by all means, follow the installation and user manuals. Read through them entirely prior to taking your first steps. Unless of course, you are a professional website developer, in which case, you wouldn’t be reading this. Suffice to say, any deviation from these well-organized BANS manuals and you will find yourself in head-scratcher mode.
Yesterday was a good day on the store-building front. Referring to Lesson 3, Page 9 of the user manual, ‘Setting Up Your Store’, I successfully integrated my eBay categories and listings for Tomato Basics. I had accomplished this task previously however, this required some tweaking. I also added several content pages (no actual content yet), as well as some content for the home page.
I know the store still looks very bland and I make no apologies for this. I could say that I’m sticking with my ‘basic’ theme and get away with that. However, I am looking at different template options and will decide at some point whether to outsource or build that part of the store in-house.
