Lately my focus has been on creating niche sites for advertising eBay auctions. The eBay affiliate program can be very lucrative and I have access to some good coaching, which is a blessing.

One way to create the niche sites is using Wordpress blogs. A friend of mine, Azlan Kasim, built a plugin for Wordpress that will display eBay auctions right in your blog posts. It looks cool, it’s very easy to set up, and best of all it’s free.

Actually, Azlan designed the plugin to display Amazon.com products as well. As the blogger, you decide whether to display eBay ads, Amazon ads, or both. You also decide how many ads to display. You can check out my blog to see an example of how it looks - Yellow Dog Ventures.

You can download the plug in here: FreeBayRSS. Once you have it, just upload as usual, activate, then go into options and input your eBay PID and Amazon affiliate ID and you’re good to go.

P.S. Sign up for the eBay affiliate program at affiliates.ebay.com.

P.P.S. If you’re not registered with eBay at all yet, be sure to do that here, and you’ll be even more ready.
