What’s a mini niche / info site? Here’s a quick refresher to discover what niche marketing is ; a mini niche site is 6 to 12 pages of static content on a very specific topic. Usually the site does not need to be updated. One might add content very casually.
Initially, it involves a few hours of research and writing with a burst of promotion (with some more writing) but maintenance is minimal once complete.

- creating your own product or service and a squeeze page
- variations of the above or experiment with a multitude of ideas
- who it’s for
- low maintenance, limited upkeep (set & forget)
- those who want to learn how to set up a blog
- limited web design skills needed
- people that want to build up a portfolio fo web real estate quickly
If you want limited social interaction these sites are ideal. They are also perfect for a person with varied interests and knowledge that wants to move from topic to topic.
A perfect type of site for someone that wants to build a passive income. I discourage outsource writing so you can maintain the quality and integrity of the site and practice your writing in the beginning.
That’s all, complete one site – rinse and repeat. Sites can be hit or miss so you may need to tweak them or do a little more promotion with article building somewhere down the line. If they don’t pan out – sell them.
