When it comes to selling online, one thing is certain: a small focused website that features justone lead product will far outsell a big website thatfeatures lots of products and links.By focusing on just one product, you avoid distractingyour visitors or forcing them to make decisions. Thatway, theyll 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) continuesto bring in a steady stream of sales, its actually theindividual websites for each of the ebooks that are responsible for the lions share of orders.The problem, however, with having one website for everysingle ebook is that it adds a lot of extra overheads. In general youre looking at minimum $100 for any kind ofwebhosting and somewhere between $8 and $35 for a domain name.These are not huge figures, but lets face it, costs are costs and if youre in business you want to keep them as low as possible.Thats why I felt it was worth sharing with you my littletrick 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, its 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 Id just created (http://selfpublishingebooks.bizzydays.com).Im even able to cloak the address shown on the browsers 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 thats it! A brand new website -- hosted and all -- for less than $10.Now theres no excuse not to create sales-focused mini-websites for ALL your products!
