If you want to be successful online, you need to have a diversified online portfolio. Unless you want to start producing crappy Internet Marketing products and selling them for $97 or more, that is. So what do I mean by a diversified portfolio? It means that you should create anything and everything: large sites, small sites, using free hosts and paid ones, Hubpages, Squidoo lenses, etc. Today I am going to talk about how to produce a small niche site in the quickest amount of time and make it pay for its rent. Also, I am going to point out the major advantages of a strong network of small niches sites.

So how do I go about this? My favorite method that I am going to discuss next is to create a site that promotes an Amazon product. The decision of buying a new domain for it or making a Blogspot, Wordpress or Blogsome blog is based around the specifics of the product. More precisely: does the product have moderate traffic or better or does it have low traffic? If the product has moderate traffic or better, I go for a paid domain. Why? Because with such a product, chances are far greater that you will get your money back or more, with the extra advantage that you own a new domain name.

Example: the keyword “cranium hullabaloo” has an approximate average search volume in Google of 22,200. While I don’t take this number literally, it shows me that the respective keyword does get decent traffic. Another example: hoover u5140 has an approximate search volume of 40,500, with many great long tail keyword variations, such as “hoover u5140-900 widepath tempo”. Now for low traffic keywords that would be great on free hosted blogs, take “Spinmaster Air Hogs Car” as an example. The approximate search volume on Google for “air hogs car” is 1000.

Now would I bother creating a site for a keyword that gets low traffic? It’s easy: chances are that it will someday make sales, and I don’t mind the low volume (as a matter of fact it already made several sales already and I haven’t started link building on it…yet). You need to understand that you should spread your net as much as possible. While one of these websites will never make much money, think about this: would 100 or even 200 of those make money? Of course they would. Those sales tend to add up incredibly.

And now here’s the cherry on the cake: while making money themselves, these websites will increase your online real estate dramatically. There are countless things that you can do with them, but maybe the most appealing of them all is the fact that you can use them for your link building campaigns. These are the types of links that you normally strive for. The best strategy in this respect is to create groups of small niche websites that concentrate on the same theme. Then, build a large authority website that is linked to from all the websites in the same niche with it. Now how about that for a ton of authority?

Finally, how do I go about promoting these websites? I do it in the following steps:

1. I create the website and let it rest of a month or two. I only concentrate on getting a couple of backlinks to it for indexing and aging;
2. When a month or two have passed, I do an article submission run using “Article Post Robot”;
3. I find blog pages that have the product’s name in their title tags and comment on them;
4. I may do link exchanges between them also.

Using this quick link building strategy, you will definitely get to top 10 for the products’ names quite easily. The traffic you will get will be highly targeted and the conversion rates will be amazing. This is due to both the nature of the traffic and the trust of the Amazon brand. How much should creating such a website and promoting it take? No more than 2 hours for each mini site. Thanks for reading thus far and good luck if you decide to follow my advice.
