The primary purpose of a mini site is to collect subscribers everything
else after that is secondary.
Actually the primary purpose of a mini
site has 3 purposes:
1.) To get someone to decide yes or no,
2.) Buy or not to buy,
3.) Click or
not to click.
A mini site is not a sales letter or a promotion piece
that you use Google Adwords to drive traffic at.
This is what's known as
Google cashing. Basically you're paying a nickel for the ad which you
use to drive traffic to your affiliate site which has a good running and
performing affiliate link, one that converts well.
Here's a
simple plan for driving hundreds and even thousands of
new visitors to your website every single day! The Secret to Non-Stop, FREE, Targeted Traffic
So if your visitor
spent money while on the site then you're making more than you spent. It really
depends on whether you want to run a promotional piece or build a
business. I'll let you decide which to do.
A mini site is
a 3-5 page content site that has one sole purpose it asks a visitor to either:
1.)Subscribe to your newsletter, or special report, or mp3
report or mini course or what ever you want them to subscribe for.
2.)Buy
your own product.
3.)Click the red x on the top right hand side.
A good mini site must
have a subscription form on the page itself and not a pop up or an exit
click sign up form. The sign up must be on the page and doesn't exit
when the visitor enters his email address. Lots of people myself included are employing pop
up blockers, so you want to avoid the blocker from stopping it.
The first purpose is to get someone to sign up for your
newsletter. Or mini course or to get request the download link for
something you're offering like a special report.
But they need to give you
their email address straight off. This is the main focus of your mini
site. The biggest mistake affiliates make with mini sites is not asking
for the email address.
The second purpose is to sell your own product. Be it an
e-book or some software or something you own. What you're really doing with
this is
testing your copy or your price or your offer or your sales page....... What ever it is you're
using to make that sale. You need them to make a decision so you can
determine what works and what doesn't.
The third purpose is to make referrals to your affiliate
link. I know you're thinking that should be the first but it isn't.
That's just the purpose of the affiliate link NOT the affiliate
Mini
site. As stated above the purpose of the affiliate mini site is to get
the email address so you can make many offers to the subscriber later
on.
The biggest mistake affiliates make is setting up a
website with long lists of affiliate links, banner ads and all the rest
of it. While never asking for the visitors email address.
