      Are Many Small Sites Better Than One Large Site?<br />
                   - by Steve Weber<br />
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=<br />
The most common question I get from beginning marketers has <br />
to do with finding/choosing a niche or area to market. Next <br />
on the list usually has to do with building many small niche <br />
sites vs. one or two larger, long-term sites in more <br />
competitive areas.<br />
<br />
Many people choose both approaches. But until beginners have <br />
some success, I suggest beginning with the small niche sites <br />
which have little competition. Either approach can be very <br />
profitable. However, in the beginning a new marketer needs <br />
quick feedback to confirm the strategy and methods work. <br />
It's important to know as soon as possible if there are <br />
flaws with the methods or the strategy. Otherwise, without <br />
the quick feedback, a lot of wasted time and frustration <br />
can occur.<br />
<br />
Again, either a large number of small niche sites or one or <br />
two large sites in highly competitive areas can earn good <br />
income. But when a beginner with no prior experience begins <br />
building and marketing a site in a large and competitive <br />
area, it can take many months of hard work before having <br />
any indication the methods are correct.<br />
<br />
Therefore, I try to guide my new students toward smaller <br />
niches where they can quickly learn the basics and see some <br />
results. Of course "success" with many small niche sites <br />
may only mean $20 to $30 a month. In most cases there is <br />
a very low glass ceiling and it's not hard to quickly <br />
market and maximize the potential of these niche sites <br />
before moving onto the next. After the beginner has shown <br />
proficiency with driving traffic to an optimized page with <br />
their chosen keywords, it's usually time to think about <br />
investing time and focus into larger areas.<br />
<br />
Of course, before moving into these bigger areas, it's <br />
important the new marketer's personality allows for it. <br />
I have known some students who only wish to stay in the <br />
small niche areas. Their plan is for finding good niches <br />
and building sites for them on a regular basis. Eventually, <br />
they'll have many dozens or even 100+ of these small <br />
producing sites. Some personalities aren't able to and/or <br />
don't enjoy having to focus a long-term effort on just one <br />
or two sites; many personalities thrive on beginning and <br />
completing projects rapidly.<br />
<br />
On the flip side, having to create many small niche sites <br />
drives some people crazy. Again, this depends on the <br />
person's personality usually. I can't very well "make" <br />
a person go against what feels comfortable. Therefore, <br />
I'll go with each student's "flow" and help them succeed <br />
no matter which path best fits them.<br />
<br />
Ok, all that being said, many of us (including me) find <br />
themselves somewhere in between. I have many tiny sites <br />
and a few in larger areas that I focus far more time and <br />
effort on. I for one have just enough ADD in me to keep <br />
the tiny-niche-site-side of me going. However, it is the <br />
large sites that produce the best for me. The 80/20 rule <br />
applies here.<br />
<br />
Here's how I usually progress with advice to my students:<br />
<br />
Learn the ropes with a small niche site or two and then <br />
begin investing regular and consistent time in a site <br />
that has huge potential down the road...even if seeing <br />
results in that big area will require much time and work. <br />
It's OK to continue building small sites along the way if <br />
you wish. But let's be sure and begin a long-term project <br />
that offers great potential.<br />
<br />
All things being equal (and of course they never are), 2 <br />
years of X amount of work on a site focused toward a well <br />
selected and competitive area will almost always produce <br />
more results than the same X amount of work focused on well <br />
selected, small niche sites. You might read that last <br />
paragraph again just to make sure that important concept <br />
is clear.<br />
<br />
But again, all marketers must go with their own flow and not <br />
force strategies upon themselves which feel uncomfortable.<br />
