mini web sites - part 2
read
part 1 of mini web sites here.
12.10pm: Spend the next 30 mins checking out the opposition.
Discover a site called tongue scrapers selling a similar
but far more expensive product. It has no affiliate
program that I could see. But more importantly found
a number of other items to sell, or upsell from a mini
site, including BreathAlert, an electronic palm-size
monitor that "detects and measures the presence
of annoying or embarrassing breath odors."
Now I'm sure that lots of people who think they might
have bad breath would love to be able to find out for
sure with this product.
About to kiss someone? Check your breath...though preferably
not in view of the person you're about to kiss ;-) Walking
into an important business meeting? Check that breath.
In 2 minutes I discovered 2 affiliate programs you
can build mini web sites around to sell the affiliate
product through. One at www.themall.com was terrible
offering only 2 cents a click-though and no further
commissions on sales. It also only pays you quarterly
and then only if you've generated over $50 at 2 cents
a time. The other at iGadget www.igadget.com didn't
look great paying only 7% commission on a $37 sale.
But it has possibilities. Ran out of time to look further.
But odds are there are some much better affiliate programs
around for this product.
While looking for an affiliate program for the BreathAlert
I also found an Australian mini web site selling both
this and the tongue scraper. They're probably missing
out on a lot of Internet sales because the products
are priced in Australian dollars
http://www.freshkiss.com.au/index.html , includes 10%
Australian GST tax, and there's no order form for people
outside Australia.
12.40pm: Look up available domain names, and ideas
for domain names by using Name Boy.http://www.nameboy.com
which lets you enter both bad breath and halitosis.
Incidentally the 2nd magazine article I ever got commissioned
to write, (way before I started building mini web sites)
back when I was 16, was about why people kiss. Took
a lot of hands on (mouths on?) research.
12.55pm: Quick search on Google reveals plenty of info
about combating bad breath, and researching, then putting
together enough content, would be easy enough. There's
also lots of info and some good graphics on the Orasweet
tongue scraper site.
1.10pm: Lack of time means I'm not going to build a
mini web site on this subject. But YOU can, which is
why I've written this mini site article for you.
If you'd like to read a lot more about building mini
