One site/blog or different sites/blogs to promote different products?

[Richard Moog]

Hi,

I read a lot about affiliate marketing and promoting products.

But I am still wondering if this could work:

Create a blog(myname.com) and promote different kind of products(Clickbank)

Create traffic by submitting articles about those products and link them to the blog.

I suppose this can only work if you are promoting money making products.

And I think it's easier to build a list of subscribers if you are using just one blog.

Or

Promote different products and create for each product(niche) a seperate blog.

Create traffic by submitting articles and link this article to the blog of the product you are promoting.

Different blogs will be a lot more work to do to maintain the blogs and write or outsource all the different kind of articles.

And it's also difficult to build a list of subscribers if you have all these different blogs.

I hope you understand what I mean.

I'm looking forward to see your comments.

You should create a separate blog for each of your niches. This will make them much more targeted and relevant when your ranking for keywords.

Not sure why you think it would be harder to build your subscriber base with more than one blog. It's not difficult to do!

It's also not as difficult as you'd think managing multiple blogs. There are tools to make the job easier.

Hope that's what you're asking...

It depends on how similar your niches are. If you are doing sub niches under a big niche then you want to keep it on the same site. If you are doing niches that don't relate then it doesn't make sense to keep them on the same site. What you might think about is doing multiple blogs and cross linking your offers if they are similar. For example a blog that sells shoes could cross link with a blog that sells sock ( simple example only)

I agree with Aaron. If you expect to get free traffic, building a deep, intensive site aimed at a particular product is the way to go. Hence you need different sites for different products.

Yeah WP is pretty easy to install and get your theme setup. Tweaking the theme takes a little more work though. There's all kinds of plugins to make managing your blogs easier...
