Do you want to know how to make money with websites? You’re not alone. There is a lot of controversy over the type of website that will best help you to meet this goal.

At one time, the idea was to build a content rich site of 100 pages or more, but this puts restrictions on your progress. And unless you can find someone to create that content, you will spend many hours doing it yourself.

Such a huge site requires your constant attention because at some point, Google will expect to see something in new.

Recently, the trend has become to build mini sites that target one niche. Some marketers take it a step farther and target only a few keywords on that one site.

The advantage to having many small sites over having one or two big sites is that you can get into a lot of niches, rather than being restricted to just one or two. These sites are proving to be very profitable for those who have gone that route. They can put them together quickly and move on to building another one.

Apart from that, such sites are less overwhelming to visitors because they generally contain no more than 10 pages and usually much less.

The question comes down to what niches you will go into and where you will find the content. Obviously, the easier it is to get your hands on quality material, the quicker you can get your sites up and make money.

Private-label rights material is excellent for this type of project, especially if it has limited distribution. Many PLR sites sell to an unknown number of marketers, but worse, they give those marketers the resale rights. This means that once the material is purchased, the buyer can turn around and resell it to other marketers. They, in turn, can do the same.

You can see how this can snowball. Eventually, the articles are everywhere. At that point, your site loses its value because it does not have unique content.

The plan

Here’s how you should proceed to build profitable websites.

1. Look through affiliate directories to see what niches are popular and what types of products are being sold. You can either become an affiliate or look for products that you can buy and make your own. Starting with affiliate products is a good idea when you are beginning your online career. Eventually, you are wise to get your own products, then you can keep all of the profits.

2. Build a 5 page website that includes an opt in inbox and a freebie and begins to build your list. You can market to this list over and over again. Make sure the freebie offers quality information. Make one page your About Us page where you give people a few facts about you and your site’s purpose. The 3rd page should contain your privacy policy where you assure your visitors that you will keep their information confidential. Use the other 2 pages for valuable tips.

3. Stop by PLR Products Monthly to find some content to add to those extra 2 pages and to pick up your own Niche product. The site will have some reports and articles that you can break down and use as content. Or you can offer the report or one of the niche kits products for sale on your site.

Follow this process and you’ll be amazed at how easy it is to make money with websites, especially many small ones.
