[…] The secret to niche selection for Build a Niche Store → […]
A friendly headsuP…
In your search for affiliate marketing scripts…stay away from store stacker. It’s very buggy AND it only works…when and if it works at all…on certain hosts. No one knows ahead of time WHICH HOSTS it’ll work on.
Their forum is post after post of complaints and users seeking installation and operation help. The script seems to be a poorly thought out beta or ripoff of BANS.
You’ve been warned!

p.s. I complained to much…so all of a sudden they claimed that My license/store ID wasn’t in their database. This after taking my money and sending the script…with a receipt and ID number…which I of course have a copy of.
Lots of very useful information. Build a niche store is the 1st script Ive seen in ten years that really works, But like anything worth while Internet Marketing is hard no matter what path users take. Still no Million dollor payouts
