What's a mini site? A mini site is a web site that focuses on one main topic or subject. A mini site usually has anywhere from two to four pages to keep the site small. It focuses on selling the product involved for the topic or subject.
A great example of this would be, "FINDING A SOLUTION FOR STINKY FEET". Of course you could use what ever topic you would like. You would then take this topic and elaborate on it. Remember the main purpose of your mini site is to sell a product. The more in detail you get with the benifits of the product the better off you will be in the long run. People want to know all that they can about a product before they buy.
A good way to go about this is to sit down and think about what you would want to know before making an online purchase. Be honest. You don't want to be removed from the program you are promoting. That would defeat all the time and effort you have already used.
If you are using a mini site to promote your own product, still be honest. Word of mouth is still one of the best forms of advertisement. If your product does what you say and is well liked, well, all there friends will know. If you weren't honest it won't take long before word gets back to your web host provider and your site will be terminated. They won't want to look bad just because you did something wrong.
