Can You Make Money On a Bunch of Mini-Sites?

Discussion in 'General Marketing' started by lennco, Jan 30, 2009.

  1. #1
    I know most here prefer to have one really great site with great unique content, but for someone like me who doesn't really have a great deal of knowledge on any one subject or the ability to write a great article or even the time to put in to a great site.

    Can you make money on a bunch of mini-sites?

    Is it possible to make a least a $1 a day on average on a mini-site with ppc ads and affiliates?

    Thanks for any input.

    It is possible but I think it's not worth

    If you have identified a good niche for a site, it would probably be good to spend enough time to make the 1st site successful before moving onto other sites or projects.

    I agree with you if I had the know-how and the time to do that.

    But if I made a bunch of easy mini-sites without have to spend a lot of time on them is it possible to make at least $1 a day.

    If I had 35 mini-sites that made $1 a day that's $1,050 a month.

    Right now that $1,050 a month would help.

    Yes. But as with everything else in life, it takes effort and time. After you make that effort and do the time (no pun intended for those in the know on being sandboxed), you will make money on your sites. There are so many ways to monetize a website now. If you but TRY and stick with it, you will succeed.

    The reason why most people fail to make money on their sites is that they give up way too soon.

    Something like this would be possible, but I think you would have more success if you focused on just a few websites at a time. If you try to market 35 websites at a time, you won't do very effective marketing for any of them.

    There must be some subject you have a good knowledge about? If you do things properly, anyone can make a profitable mini-site.

    I recommend you take a look at Michael Rasmussen's free online video course Mini Site Profits exposed. I can't post links but just type it in the broswer as 1 big word.
    If you follow everything he tells you, there is no reason why you can't set up a profitable site. Its a fantastic course and i highly recommend it :)

    I used to do the $1 a day web site. It's a lot of work maybe the same kind of work like the other strategy of building a 1 great site. But I found making one site successful better, before moving on to the next. Set a goal for a certain site. Like "This site should earn $600 per month in 5 months". If you met that goal, move on and do another site.

    Even if you have 1 great site that gets money for you, you still have to diversify.

    Research your keywords and go for small niches...

    I have a free blogger blog with about 3 posts (longest post is 150 words) and that makes at least one sale per day some times two and it makes me about $30 per day.

    This blog does not even get over 10 uniques per day, but it is a hungry market and very "BUY" orientated...

    I read Tim Gourman's report on running 300+ mini sites hoping to monetize a few dollars a day from each with adsense.

    He wrote that report some time June 2008 and expecting to harvest the money in 2009 when he's done with those 300+ sites.

    Though I'm a fan of Tim and I respect him on his article marketing knowledge, but this adsense model doesn't seem too good to me.

    my 2 cents

    At the end of the day, small sites (spam sites) can turn a big profit but it generally won't last forever. I think it's wiser to pick a niche and create the best content on this subject. If you have the best content out there, the money will follow.

    This is the perfect scenario. But honestly, not everyone has the skill, passion, knowledge to achieve this. Instead, most are look for short term solutions in IM. :cool:

    yes, it's very possible. The standard way is to build your 'real' sites / blogs (the ones that make you money) and keep them clean - ie hand written by you. Then create dozens of autoblogs that pass you backlinks and populate themselves automatically, hosted on free wordpress blog hosting sites (and there are lots of them). Add a few article marketing campaigns for each 'real' site'

    Monetize with adsense. Some people prefer to use blogspot as the host for their 'real' sites, because they think google prefers it. I'd always want to host a 'real' site on my own server.

    yes its possible to make big money from lots of mini sites

    take garryconn from www.garryconn.com for example.... he made over 10,000 dollars from adsense alone in december because he has hundreds of these micro niche blogs.

    if you were to do alot of these sites, why not buy phpbay pro and sell ebay stuff too

    anything is possible
