When you are just starting out making money online in affiliate marketing you’ll be faced with a ton of choices. At a certain point your mind can go into information over-load because there are just so many affiliate programs, ebooks and software packages out there that all promise to make you thousands of dollars.

If you’re just getting started then one of your best options is to apply to the eBay Partner Network, also called EPN. Besides Amazon, eBay is the No. 1 onlien store in the world and and has an excellent affiliate program. What this means is that when you send traffic to eBay’s site, they’ll pay you a commission for each visitor that you send them.

When researching how to make websites you’ll find that there are many options. While some people like to use various site builder programs that webhosts offer, I personally prefer to build all of my sites using WordPress. WordPress is a free content management program that was originally intended for building blogs. However, it’s extremely easy to use and lends itself wonderfully to people who don’t have a background with website HTLM coding skills.

Basically, WordPress works with themes (more commonly called templates) and plugins, which are pages of code of varying lenght that gives your websites different functionalities.

Back to the eBay Partner Network. Once your application has been accepted it’ll be time to start thinking about building your first eBay affiliate site. What’s great about eBay’s affiliate program is that you can chose any product on their website. So, with hundreds of thousands of different products on both eBay and eBay Motors you’ll have no problem finding a good niche market that can make you lots of money.

One issue you’ll face is how to link to eBay’s website. One great tool that I’ve used to make thousands of dollars on the eBay Partner Network is a plugin called Phpbay Pro. Phpbay Pro is a software script speficially designed for making niche stores that link to eBay. The way it works is you put in a short line of code in your site and you can pull in images and links for literally any item on eBay.

What’s great about Phpbay pro is that you can use it on any WordPress site. This means that you can use it with any WordPress theme, allowing for you to have an extremely unique looking site. This is in contrast to Build a Niche Store (BANS), the other eBay niche store builder that only allows for the building of sites on very similar looking templates.

The key advantages are that you can use the script on an unlimited number of stores and it always pulls in the most relavent products via an RSS feed. On your page you can display as many items as you’d like and also include the items’ price and current number of bids. Phpbay is extremely easy to install and comes with a useful how-to PFD manual. Furthmore, all customers get access to the PHpbay forum where you can chat with other customers, get your questions answered and read helpful posts on improving your online earnings.

Over the past two years Phpbay pro has been one of the only products for making money online which I have continued to use since I purchased it. In fact, I recently just updated my sites and put in a ton of Phpbay eBay links and have seen an dramatic improvement in my daily online income.
