I’ve been following this guy for sometime called Yaro Starak who is from Australia and writes a blog called entrepreneurs-journey.com from which he writes about affiliate marketing and how to make money online, quite similar to what i write about.  He as been online for a long time and shares his experiences of how he makes money online.  His blog has become so popular he currently has at the time  of this writing – 78,778 RSS subscribers and currently gets 80,000+ unique visitors a month, 138,000+ page views a month.

Yaro has been working online since 1998 creating websites and has sold several successful online businesses.  He now teaches people online how to make money from running their own website business.  He now gets to travel around the world with his laptop living the ultimate .com lifestyle just from blogging.

Yaro first started out online like most of us by selling old items on ebays auction site selling items he had in his garage he no longer wanted.  He then moved onto creating a website selling and trading gaming and sports cards online and then later sold this website business for a large sum.

These days he makes money from his mastermind training program and affiliate marketing adverts he has spread accross his blogs and other websites he manages and makes on average $40,000 a month.

The famous “BANS” (buildanichestore.com) is up for sale on flippa.com as the owners have decided to move onto new challenges after several years developing their product which allows users to build a website that is affiliated with the Ebay affiliate program.  Similar to our website builder programme that uses the Amazon associates affiliate network.

In their hey day they were turning over $30,000 a month in subscribers joining upto their site to use their product.  But after several months they got bad feedback from some users, but this was mainly due to the fact that the users weren’t probably setting up their sites very well which caused their sites to get penilised in Google causing a tidle wave effect.  The owners saw this as a problem and completly changed their sales pitch on their home page so they could rebuild their reputation and grow as a well established brand which i think they have done today with the invention on their new partner website N1Way.com

Build a niche store currently has 10,000 members since their launch back in 2006 where they first started out selling a custom ebay script on Digitalpoint.com to webmasters.  This is where they found their niche and built on the product and created their own website and started selling their product on clickbank.com

They are currently looking for $500,000 for their business and looking for a team of developers to take over the business and grow it into a very large network of affiliate marketing related websites

Their website currently gets 1,000 unique visitors a day with on average 4 visitors signing up to buy their product the BANS website.  The product is $97 via clickbank and 50% commission goes to their affiliates promoting their product which is a great way to market their business for free and drive alot of traffic to their website.  Their user forum has over 100,000 forum posts with 20,000 threads.  They also have 1,400,000 referrences in Google pointing to their website with a Google page rank 5

I wish these guys good luck with their future projects and hope the sale goes well.  I only wish i had the cash to buy their business as it would go great with my Websites For Sale World Website Builder program.
