How I Made $900 With A Mini Website, In The First Month

by Daniel Scocco

When I re-opened the Online Profits training program back in June, there were two main changes. First of all the course became virtually free. That is, you just need to create a hosting account with my hosting partner to gain a lifetime member account to the program now.

The second change was the introduction of a new section in the members area, called “Live Case Study.” Inside that section members would basically follow the steps I would take to build, promote and monetize a website from scratch. I created this section because I wanted the members to gain some practical knowledge too, learning how to apply all the concepts they would get from the training material.

I decided to build a mini website for the case study (also called niche website), because you don’t need to spend too much time or money building one, and once the site is “complete” it becomes a passive stream of income.

This doesn’t mean that making money with mini websites is fast though. I launched my mini website on July, and I was expecting to start generating some revenues with it after three or four months. But this little project surprised me. In the very first month it generated $875 in profits, and I only used free methods to promote it. I am not sure how things will evolve, but if things keep going as they are by the end of the year the mini website will be making close to $2,000 per month.

If you want to follow the case study and check all the steps I am taking to build and promote the mini website, with screenshots and monthly reports, you just need to join the Online Profits training program. I say “just” because it is a no-brainer right now. You’ll pay $5 or so to sign-up for a hosting account with our partner (HostNine), and you’ll get complete access to our training material, the live case study, the resources section, the content library and more. Plus, you get another hosting account, and you can use that to build your own mini website. You can check all the details and join here.

I signed up yesterday – looks like a really good program. I’ve gotten through the first two blocks so far… but I may have to skip ahead to the case study

Hi Daniel, did you recently drop HostGator as an option for registering for the online profits?
jason on August 17, 2010 7:13 pm

Sounds very cool. Plan on joining up soon to take advantage.

Hey Daniel,

I’m assuming you’re alluding to HowToMakeAWebsite?

The 101 traffic tips went big time on Twitter – really shows the impact of a pillar post.

I’m just assuming here but I’m just linking two things together

I don’t think he monetized that site yet. And this site is not exactly a niche website, it’s also really hard to rank for these keywords, even with that domain name, especially within 1 month.
Daniel Scocco on August 17, 2010 8:48 pm

I can’t disclose what site I am using in the case study, but drop me an email if you want to know more about it.

Yes certainly this will remove all confusions and people can proceed easily.

Is this for real? Can you please tell me more about it because I just want to make sure. I know $5 is just a little amount but it is still money.
Michael - Get Traffic Now on August 18, 2010 11:07 am

Thanks for such a wonderful post. My mind is now open on how to really make easy money online. I think this would be of immense help to beginners as well as intermediate and even experts. Keep them coming.

I’d love to join the program, but i already own a hosting plan. Any chance for a normal subscription option?
Daniel Scocco on August 18, 2010 7:41 pm

You can pay directly to enter if you want, but the cost is going to be over $100, so it would be better for you just to get a second hosting plan (which will cost you $4 per month or so).
soft-man on August 20, 2010 8:33 am

how do u make such? i run domain as much as 15, but still make very little compared to yours, can u tell us what is the secret behind it? of course if you want to only!!!!
Tinh on August 21, 2010 8:50 am

I could not believe a mini website could make that much but I am sure, with right strategy, a mini website can make more than a big one too. Congrats!
