Building Mini Websites, When You Have Nothing To Do

Okay, so I studied a lot, read a lot, and what I knew is still true : you have to work hard. Working hard is creating content for me, and for you too I guess. This is the hard part. From the DigitalPoint forums, I came to a website : Self Made Minds. Two guys are behind this website, they are sharing their experience and telling how they’re doing and also reporting their earnings (this is the fun part).

I really recommend you read their blog, it’s cool and simple explained and also full of ideas.

They of course built several websites, one of them is Coolest Gadgets, and it earns more than 10,000 a month, mainly about adsense. Again AdSense is for CONTENT websites. But, I also read a post on their site telling about “minisites” making maximum money, and showing us a minisite example.

Here is the post : Mini Sites don’t always make mini money.  All you need is a good idea, work on it, buy a domain and host your files, make some SEO.

Your goal first would be to make $1 a day for this one website. Then, how many websites can you create ? What if all your websites earn now $2 a day… Okay you understand. And don’t forget that with time you may have more ideas to add to each of your minisites.

Now, you have to do some brainstorming. I took a pen and paper and wrote down every topic I was sure I can write about. I have more than 50, and I’m sure you can easily do it too, even more. Then start writing. This is not so hard to write content for these websites, this could be the same process if you had to write articles and submit them to articles directories, to increase your backlinks for your main websites.

If you need ideas, visit forums, blogs, read articles about a topic and rewrite everything you think useful with your own words. You may also want to add links. What are the best websites for these topics ? Just use Google and find what are the top sites.

Even if building new minisites will not consume so much time, you also have to keep working on your main websites. So build your network of mini websites and make them profitable, but keep adding content to your bigger money makers.

Blogging To Write What ?

When you want to blog for money, you have to be relevant to your topic and keep adding content as often as possible. If you want your visitors to come back, you have to give them something new to read, otherwise they may think you stopped your blog, or even you just don’t take your blog as seriously as they would like to.

You will make money from your visitors. You know the more content you have, the better. Search engines will love you, but you would also want that your visitors love you too. So keep reading, researching and learning from others, but then share, get to work.

You should create a work routine. If you have multiple sites/blogs, you know you have to update them all. Are you ready to do this ? Are you organized enough ? So be sure the topics you chose really interest yourself. Think about the time you will spend each day for each of your tasks. For Example :

1. Researching something to write about : 30 minutes
2. Writing* : 30 minutes.

Then you know that if you have 5 websites to update, it will take you 5 hours. Or multiply your efforts on the same website (FOCUS !). Then do something else (a bit of seo ? forums posting ? commenting on other blogs ?).

Make a step by step plan you would follow each day. (step 1, step 2, step 3…)

What about your old posts ? Is there something you can add ? Maybe something you wrote 2 month agos is not true today, or changed.

This applied to any writing job. If you’re into article marketing, then you may sometimes ask yourself what to write.

*yeah, rewriting actually…

Hello Internet Marketers !

Hi everyone, and welcome to IMTRIP.com.

This is a brand new blog about internet marketing (yeah, another one). Internet marketing is my job, actually it involves more than one job, but I love that.

I’ve been officially into internet marketing since september now, but I’ve learnt about it for some years and already have some websites running (hey I needed to know what works before launching my home business).

I could define internet marketing as a way to make money online at home, but to make money, it requires some preparation, optimization, writing, testing, trials (and errors) and this blog is just all about that. I’ll put there my thoughts, ideas and experiences during my internet marketing trip and maybe you’ll find something useful here.

I will certainly make mistakes (not only grammar or spelling ones), but I suppose I will learn from them, so would you like to learn with me ?
