Definition: A minisite is a small website consisting of only a few pages (usually 5 or less) that is designed to make a modest recurring income with little work after initial setup.

There are three main types of minisites:

1. Sales Letter: minisites designed to sell a product such as an eBook or script, or a physical product
2. Affiliate Showcase: minisites where you recommend an affiliate product or products
3. Name Squeeze: minisites designed to build your list

I want to make big money. Why build small minisites?

The idea behind minisites is not to make a huge amount of income on any single minisite–although this can happen.  Rather your goal for a minisite should be around $10-$20 per day.  However, because they are so easy to create, taking only a day or two to set up, you can create many of them, and together make a very sizeable income.

Minisites are the perfect way to get your feet wet if you’re just beginning to build websites as they are quick and easy projects.  They are also ideal for those of you who work 40 hours a week (or more) since you don’t have to maintain them every day.

And for those of you who who have created a website before but have never created a minisite, they create not only additional revenue streams, but, done carefully, can be used for link building as well.

How do I build a minisite?

Becoming a great minisite builder does not happen overnight.  There are a lot of skills required to become successful at minisite design including:

• Topic choice
• Domain choice
• Design
• Copywriting
• Testing
• Search Engine Optimization
• and many others

Who are you to tell me?

I am not an internet millionaire.  I’m not a self-proclaimed guru.  Even so, I do make my living online and enjoy the freedoms that the internet lifestyle allows.

I’ll be the first to admit that I have had minisites that have failed for various reasons. However I’ve also built very successful minisites and at this point I’ve all but gotten building profitable minisites down to a formula. Because there are limitless topics that you can build a minisite around, I’m not afraid that sharing my formula will affect my income at all. Therefore, I’ve put together a 4-day crash course sharing my insights into this exciting niche.

Each day you will receive another piece to the minisite puzzle and by the end of the 4-day course, you’ll be not only prepared, but excited to go off and make your own minisites.

So what are you waiting for, sign up for the eCourse and start making money now!  Who knows, maybe you’ll be able to quit your day job!

I will be posting lists of Free article directories, web directories, do follow bookmarkings sites and affiliate marketing networks.

Check back soon as there will be a plethora of new blogging tools posted!
