Building Minisites – What Do You Need?

Filed under General

The most important part of any mini sites, besides the content, is the sales page. You need to understand how to write basic sales copy that sells, and also arm yourself with a lot of salespage elements and other images you can use to make your copy look appealing. Creating a pure-text sales copy is a big mistake, but most people still do it.

The overall design and appearance of your mini-sites also matters. You can either hire someone to create your design or you can buy web 2.0 minisite templates and easily put together a stunning site yourself.

Of course, in the long run you’ll also want to learn basic image creation and image editing skills to help lower the cost of creating minisites. If you have no money for Photoshop, try GIMP.

With good GIMP tutorials you can get all the skills you need as far as building minisites is concerned, but you probably can’t make use of cool stuff like cover action scripts and templates that can only be used in Photoshop.

Traffic from search engines is just one of the ways to make sales from your own minisite. Since all the really good content is behind closed doors, Google will never be able to index it and rank it.

Therefore if you want to market mini sites, you need affiliates – and LOTS of them. Knowledge in PPC or Pay Per Click marketing helps as well, especially when your site is new and you don’t already own a list you can market to.
