Wanna make more money? Believe me, all business owners do. One of the ways you can do it is by creating affiliate mini-sites.

What is an affiliate mini-site?

Mini-sites are simple small websites (less than 10 pages) that targets a select group of people within your target market and sends them off through your affiliate links and you earn commissions when people buy.

You might be wondering why business owners would set up a mini-site if all the traffic is Intended to go to affiliates. Well, business owners can profit from mini-sites, too. Everything on a mini-site is carefully chosen so that affiliates and business owners can both profit from them.

Sound simple enough? Well, on one hand it is, but on the other, it’s not. You have to create these pages carefully from the start.

Knowing that prospects will likely only visit the mini-site for a very short period of time is a major part of creating affiliate mini-sites. You’ll have to think like that specific group of your target market and anticipate their every move. But if you’ve done your research into them, this shouldn’t be too difficult and can lead to big dollar signs.

What are the benefits of affiliate mini-sites?

While affiliate mini-sites are intended to benefit affiliates the most, that doesn’t mean that they can’t help you out, either. Got a product to sell? You can advertise it on your mini-site.

What do I mean by “conversions”? Well, conversions are any action that you want your visitors to take, whether it’s buying your product, bookmarking your website or visiting your affiliates. It’s up to you. However, an affiliate mini-site concentrates on getting your target market to your affiliates.

Why do I need an affiliate mini-site?

Setting up a website with a large amount of information for all your visitors can help you do OK, but nothing can beat targeting a group of people with a specific problem and then providing the solution in an area that’s made just for them.

A mini-site caters to the needs of your customers in a number of ways.

Considering this, profits are just a few mini-sites away. But it’s not as easy as they come across at first. Mini-sites take work.

The great thing about affiliate mini-sites is that you don’t need a lot of money or time to create them and make them successful. But that doesn’t mean that you can create any old thing on the Internet and expect it to go over well with prospects. There is a certain amount of thought you have to put into them.

You’ll have to spend money on a permanent host. Nothing turns off a prospect more than seeing a business on a free web host. Prospects that come across websites on free hosts are likely to question the legitimacy of the business.

Search engines’ rules and processes need to be adhered to. Search engines hate affiliate mini-sites. You’ll have to design your website so that they can be recognized by search engines regardless of their content.

Optimization isn’t something that can be ignored, either. You won’t be doing your affiliate mini-site justice if you set it up once and then forget about it. Test all the things on your mini-site to ensure that you’ve got good click-through rates. Remember that click-throughs are what the affiliate mini-sites are really all about in the end.
