When in Internet Marketing you talk about €mini-sites', you are referring to very small websites that usually sell a product like an eBook or even some digital download, so they are not what some people call €article sites' or €small niche websites' or other different denominations floating around the Internet.
Actually, you can talk of mini-sites of just one single page, which then can be termed as a lead generation website or a capture page/squeeze page site. Yet most of these sites really have between 1 and 5 pages. One of these sites can have just a sales page and may be a thank you page where the customer is sent after he buys.
Or they can also have a contact page and a terms of service page. They may also have a FAQ page and one or two other pages. In fact they have very few pages and thus their €mini-site' name as they are known.
Right now this is what we are going to be concerned with: €Creating a one page mini-site' and concentrating only on the design part of it. We go straight into the parts it needs which are the €header' and the €footer', that is it. Although a sales letter of some sort to sell the product is needed too. And of course an order button that a customer must click when he wants to buy the product.
You can also have an eCover (which is done with a PC and mimics what the eBook is about) just like if it was a physical book or, if it was some software product that we are selling, the eCover could be a 3D software box of some sort.
If you do not like to create the eBook cover, an email to a designer in fiverr.com should do the trick after paying just $5, may be more if you want a fancy more complex one. For a more professional look it is really better to have your header done by a graphic designer as well as the cover.
The header is going to have what you sell and a tag line or a brief description of what the site is about and just one sentence should do it. A photo relevant to the niche you are in will also help as well as a reduced version of the eCover. As I mentioned before, include a bright colored button calling to an action such as €Click Here Right Now To Get In'
If all this is too much work for you and have sufficient funds, you can consider outsourcing the whole package to skilled providers for about $250 to $400 which will include all you need for your website like a header, footer, may be some banners for off-site promotion and your eCovers too.
But you can also do with a simple blog, all that mini-sites achieve and more, and for a fraction of the cost. In fact, the network Empower Network, have a ready to get in and use blogging platform that you can access for $25/month and from which you can build your list, get orders for the products you promote and get 100 % commissions!
And there is another network called Pure Leverage which also allows you to blog on a great tool suite platform with auto-responder, great training weekly, and many other facilities for just $25/month and paying you also 100 % commissions when you become an affiliate to promote their package.
Your choices in Internet Marketing are many and your success depends in how committed and focused you decide to be. Choosing mini-sites is a great avenue to explore and adding ready made blogging platforms like the two mentioned or just one of them is a great way to go forward.
To your success,
