When it comes to selling online, one thing is certain: a small focused website that features just one lead product will far outsell a big website that features lots of products and links.
By focusing on just one product, you avoid distracting your visitors or forcing them to make decisions. That way, they`ll take the time to study your product and the chances of making a sale are vastly increased.
I can see the evidence for this in my own business. While the main company website (BizzyDays.com) continues to bring in a steady stream of sales, it`s actually the individual websites for each of the ebooks that are responsible for the lion`s share of orders.
The problem, however, with having one website for every single ebook is that it adds a lot of extra overheads. In general you`re looking at minimum $100 for any kind of webhosting and somewhere between $8 and $35 for a domain name.
These are not huge figures, but let`s face it, costs are costs and if you`re in business you want to keep them as low as possible.
That`s why I felt it was worth sharing with you my little `trick` for setting up brand new websites for just the price of a domain name.
This week I launched a new website for our ebook publishing guide `You Step By Step Guide to Success On The Internet`. The TOTAL cost to set up this new website (http://selfpublishing-ebooks.com) was just $8.97!
So how did I manage that?
Firstly, it`s worth noting that I use an excellent hosting service for my main website BizzyDays.com. One of the many features they include for just $9.95/month is the ability to create your own sub-domains (http://subdomain.domain.com).
So, the first step I took was to set up a new sub-domain (I called it http://selfpublishingebooks.bizzydays.com). Next I designed the website and published it to this address.
Then, I went along to http://www.DNbuy.com and bought the domain name www.selfpublishing-ebooks.com for $8.97. The reason I bought it at DNbuy is because they offer a whole range of domain name services completely free (domain parking, URL re-direction, e-mail re-direction, etc.).
Once I had the domain name, it took me just a couple of minutes (via the DNbuy website) to set up the new domain name to point (or re-direct) to the sub-domain I`d just created (http://selfpublishingebooks.bizzydays.com).
I`m even able to `cloak` the address shown on the browser`s address bar, so that, even though people are surfing on http://selfpublishingebooks.bizzydays.com what shows up on the address bar is http://selfpublishing-ebooks.com.
Finally, DNbuy even re-directs my e-mails for free. This enables me to create new addresses (like sales@selfpublishing-ebooks.com) and have any messages that are sent to these addresses re-directed to my regular e-mail address inbox.
And that`s it! A brand new website -- hosted and all -- for less than $10.
Now there`s no excuse not to create sales-focused mini-websites for ALL your products!
