The Affordable Method for Building Multiple Income Streams
Overview
Several years ago, "multiple streams of income" became a buzzword in online marketing, leading web entrepreneurs to create networks of mini-sites for selling affiliate products. Today, this concept remains crucial, with successful website businesses constantly innovating to generate revenue. Instead of the costly and time-consuming process of setting up numerous mini-sites, consider an affordable alternative: a virtual network using sub-folders on a single domain.
Creating Your Virtual Network
Setting up a virtual network is straightforward. Start by purchasing a generic domain name. Then, create sub-folders for each affiliate program. For instance, if you're promoting insurance products, you would name a folder "insurance" and place your insurance webpage there as ‘index.html’. The URL would be something like www.genericdomain/insurance.
Choosing a Generic Domain Name
Selecting an effective generic domain name can be challenging. Ideally, the name should be short and neutral, not tied to a specific product or market. Since most single-word domains are taken, consider inventing a name or combining words and numbers, such as "genericname888.com."
Advantages of Using Sub-Folders
Cost-Effectiveness
Using one domain reduces hosting and registration expenses significantly, especially if you're building 20 or more mini-sites. A consistent page design can further cut development costs.
Marketing Benefits
Launching a new site can be costly, with pay-per-click options expensive for small businesses and Google's Sandbox making it hard to rank new sites. However, adding a mini-site to your virtual network is easier since it's part of an established site, helping you bypass these challenges. Building links to each mini-site can also boost the overall visibility of your entire site.
Flexibility with Domain Names
Memorable domain names are becoming scarce. With sub-folders, you’re free to choose any name for mini-sites, provided the main domain is relatively short.
Considerations and Drawbacks
While sub-folders offer many advantages, they come with some drawbacks. A diverse range of products on one site might confuse your audience. Additionally, you may be less inclined to experiment with different designs for each mini-site. If an affiliate product gains significant traction, you might eventually decide to launch a dedicated website for it. Still, using sub-folders remains the most cost-effective approach to developing multiple income streams.
By strategically utilizing sub-folders, you can efficiently build and manage multiple streams of income with minimal expenses.
