Secrets of Niche Mini Sites Nobody Tells You

I am asked frequently what are the first steps to have an online business. The question looks easy to answer, you need to have an idea, research this idea and make a decision.

But is it really all? I would say it is not. There are lot more things to look after. Okay there is an easy way to get it all done, called Outsourcing. Smart outsourcing I should say.

Outsourcing can be very time consuming, especially the first time around. I call it the traditional way. The other way is to join or team up with something that is working with a proven record. The fast way is to join a membership site.

I think membership sites in general have a great advantage. Like minded people get together and exchange information, knowledge and get things done. But be aware that there are all kinds of memberships available and not every one that is coming around really does meet your needs.

Just assume you are very new to all the online business and money making. For such a person there are lot of membership sites to choose from. The so called "out of the box" niche market websites.

In its most simplest way they offers every month one or more niche markets for download and the website comes with graphics and content. Everything is there, it only needs some personalization. 

Usually one or all of this list

• needs to change the articles to make them his own - make it unique.
• usually needs to ad google adsense id, amazon affiliate id, and clickbank id to be able to generate money.
• has to have at least one domain
• needs to upload the packet to the host
• needs to do some promotion on squidoo, hubpage, article directory, twitter and so on to generate any traffic to the site.

A perfect example is AutoPilotNiches. It is a membership site with a stronger DIY element. It is possible to use the site as is, but to have a better chance to earn some revenue and to have the content listed in Google, it is strongly advice to personalize at least the content. Still it is a timesaver.

A few classes up, the membership site usually limit the amount of members they take. This is to insure a high quality, not only for the content, but also for the design, customer care and all over experience.

Private Niche Empire is a good example for such a membership site. Limited to 125 members it offers very good researched niche markets every month. The content is written exclusive for the niche by experienced writers.

 

The result is a high quality website that does not require work to generate revenue. As always, a personal touch will help to make it unique and interesting to the visitor. At Private Niche Empire each member gets 10 websites each month, which makes 120 sites a year a true virtual niche empire with earning.

Three questions might remain. Where will all these sites be hosted and how do I get a domain for them?  Domain names do not cost much anymore and so is hosting. I use 1&1 to register my domains, because they got a good price including private registration, where others charge a lot of money for or do not offer it at all. For hosting I prefer hostgator. It has good value for money, a good customer care and allows unlimited websites to be hosted using individual domain names.
