I forgot to post about my first check, which was a whopping $87. However today I got my second check and this one is a bit nicer at $206.63. If I could only double my earnings month over month I’ll be rich in no time!
The majority of this check came from one of my eBay sites created off of my niche store builder software. I’m in the process of finishing up converting my old BANS sites to my new software and upgrading my other sites as well to use the new eBay Partner Network setup. Then it will be to find a bunch of new niches and working on prettying up the exiting ones to hopefully get some more sales.
In any event, it is encouraging 
With eBay moving to their own inhouse affiliate program, I was almost dreading the changes to TUNS for it. However, like the good developer that I am :), most of the config stuff was external to the code and making the change over was pretty easy. I just took to long to get around to it honestly. The hard part however will be converting over my existing stores, but I have some free time this weekend so maybe I can knock those out without too much trouble.
As promised by eBay, they are moving away from using Commission Junction for their affiliate program and going internal. Well last night a little before midnight I got an email for them to join their new network.
Their interface is a nice departure from CJ. Nice and clean, as seen by the screen shot below.
The real chore now is to make sure my niche store software is converted over and wait for the BANS guys to do the same for their stuff. Of course I could just convert the rest of my BANS sites over to my stuff
I don’t think converting my software will be too difficult and actually shouldn’t have to change any URLs, as long as the eBay API is migrated over as well, but testing will tell. Guess that work starts tonight!
