Build A Niche Store Case Study - Day 1 Niche Selection

Posted by admin

OK, I have been getting tons of questions about Build A Niche Store. The main question everyone is wanting to know relates to BANS performance. Does it really work? How long does it take? Is it right for me?

So, to answer all of those questions I am going to do a 3, maybe 4 week case study on Build A Niche Store.

The following is a breakdown of how I will approach the case study and building out my BANS site.

Week 1 - Choose niche, build site and do rapid testing.

Week 2- Determine profitability and decide to move forward or choose another niche.

Week 3- Hopefully full tilt push with increasing profits every day.

So, let’s get started!

I need to choose a niche. Hmm, you guessed it. Let’s start with something golf related. Now normally, I go through a 2-3 hour selection process. I’ve outlined that in a previous post.

For the purpose of this case study, I’ll just select a category at random. I want to prove to you that any niche can be profitable using BANS. The only catch is that I have to know a little about the subject.

And that niche is Used Titleist Pro V1 golf balls. I love Pro V1’s, and they are my ball of choice.

Now, I did some checking and normally this niche would be a little risky because it is low traffic according to Keywordtracker. However, using GTrends I see there are only +/-4,000 competing pages. That’s good. Not only that, but the average sale is around $150. Also, very good. So, I hit 2 out of 3 requirements. Good enough for this case study. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, check out How to find a good niche for your Build A Niche Store?.

Honestly, I have not done any competitive research for this niche. All I know is that I use Titleist Pro V1 and I buy used Titleist Pro V1 on eBay. I’m no different than most, so I’m sure other are buying it as well.

That being said, it’s now time to build out our site and get our hands dirty!
