    Of course building niche websites properly makes real money. That's why all the big guns, regardless of the niche they are in, use them. They are great for generating long-term, residual income, and you can generate multiple income streams from one site, depending on the methods you use. The methodology is the same whether you're building multiple mini sites or a big authority site. I recommend Unstoppable Affiliate.

    Good luck,
    Joey

    Yes they can do, but it entirely depends on the product that you are promoting.

    From memory I think Matt Carter was one who had a short course on mini-niche sites (Rapid Profit Formula?)

    Actually mini-niche website are quite profitable since they have less keyword competition. However, it would also depend on the content you provide your audience.

    The amount you will be making is directly related to the search volume of people looking in that niche - how large the market for this particular product is.

    Some niches are very small, eg. if there is only a few people looking for a particular product you simply cannot make millions if you only sell 5 items every month etc. It should be obvious.

    However, you can of course make MANY sites targeting various, specific micro niches.

  • I do prefer mini-niche website, as there is a little competition and you don't need a huge work to compete other strong web sites and get your web site at the first places in Google.
    It make money but also it depends on your strategy, the products you are selling and the content as well.

      Exactly! Here is a point.

    Thorough keyword research is the key to succeeding in mini and micro niches. If you use WordPress, it would be easy to create 1 website that targets a whole slew of key-phrases for micro niches.

    Otherwise, another way to go would be to create a cluster of mini-sites. Each one can target a different keyword, but sell the same product - unless you have access to a lot of good products for your niche.

    a lot of my online empire is built using mini affiliate sites. I can build a mini site in three hours and have a ranking in a couple weeks and will have made a profit after the first month. However, not all sites make a massive amount of money but if they do not make much money I just let them expire or give them away.

    find a niche is easy, just head over to Amazon….:-)

    Yes Mini Niche websites are great income sources.
    I have over 50 sites that I own at the moment all of which are earning on adsense giving me passive income.
    I also flip sites on Flippa. Most adsense sites that I sell go from anywhere between $100 and $300 a sale on Flippa. They are very popular over there.

    When building mini sites its important to scale up your projects. 1 site will make you money but 100 site will make you a steady flow of cash!

    Hope this helps

    I like mini niche sites better because all of your eggs are not in one basket. If one stops earning you have another that will be peaking.

    I have been reading some of George Brown's methods and they seem very easy to implement.....except for finding keywords that match his criteria. That seems to be the only downside to what I have seen with Google Sniper.

    So everyone is talking about creating mini niche sites and micro niche sites but I haven't seen a lot of specifics on the TYPES of sites. Are these squeeze pages where you build a list and then market products, are they amazon type stores, are they blogs? I am just trying to get some ideas as far as how many people choose one type as opposed to others who choose a different type. What type do YOU think is best?

    Anything niche has the potential if you find something without much competition, create great content and have something to offer.

    Will it make a TON of money? Probably not. But, these things add up over time and you could always leverage the site at a later time to launch something bigger in the related niche.

      Mini sites are also a great way to test a niche, just to see if you can make any money in it, before wasting a lot of time and effort. It's a lot easier to walk away from a dog niche if you haven't invested huge amounts of time, effort and money. Seen waaaayyy too many folks ride a dead horse, thinking that a tweak here or there will salvage a loser. Mini sites serve a great purpose, and yes, you can make money with them. Just think of them as disposables.

    i have a few question and i would be very happy if anybody help me out.


    i built a few niche sites with a single long term keyword as domain and wrote a few article around the keyword.

    i also created hundred of backlinks with scrapebox.

    my site is on the 4. rank on google if i search the keyword like this "keyword".

    but if i search it without the "" it is not even in the top 1000.

    how can it be? how long does it take to ranked.

    and yes this websites are indexed at google if i search directly for it.

      Kulli60, that is quite natural. For example:

      When searching for the key-phrase "natural dog shampoo", Google lists sites that contain that exact phrase.

      But, when searching for natural dog shampoo, Google will list websites that have natural, dog and shampoo as separate keywords, in addition to different combinations of those keywords. In other words, this list is going to be a lot longer, and your competition is going to be a lot stronger than the one with the exact phrase.

    Of course! Keyword it the main key! You have to choose a logtail or it semi with low competition.

    But from my experience, never build mini site for only targeting Adsense! Use multiple monetization plan their!

    Niche marketing is still a very viable and profitable Internet business for the long run.

    I am a niche marketer myself and my experiences tell me that building micro niche sites and promoting affiliate products work in the long term.

    If you are looking at consistent passive income, building profitable niche websites can be the perfect Internet business model for you.

    It works for most people (newbie and advance marketers) and it works for me... And it should work for you if you are willing to try. =)

    I love mini-niche sites. Sometimes you run into a niche where you had no idea would be so successful and the earning really take you by surprise.

    Sometimes though, they flop and make jack.

    All part of the game, but you get better at it.

      Mini niche sites can act as a nice little testing ground for a particular niche. If you're seeing good results with a mini niche site, consider furthering your efforts by expanding that site with a lot more keyword-targeted content. Having a larger amount of quality content can only help you..
