Very cool. I think a lot of people go with a solid mix, including at least one site/business that is used to be an authority, supplementing that with smaller ventures.

My strategy is #1.
I picked one niche, built one site and my goal is to dominate my entire industry. My process is a little harder than normal simply because I’m marketing a membership site. It also takes a little longer to see results which is fine because I’m building it for the long term anyway. Much more work has to go into something of this nature. I want my company to not only be solid but viewed as an authority in it’s industry. I’m also building it in a way that it can leverage it’s own success in hopes that other opportunities will develop. To ensure that lost of interest doesn’t occur, my site consistently evolves creating an ever changing user experience. Lastly, I choose SEO as my primary marketing strategy though I use many other methods to achieve faster goal results.

That method takes a lot more time for it to be effective but can definitely be rewarding. Thanks for the comment!

I prefer sticking with one niche and getting well known by making one big site.

Thanks Jean. A solid strategy mixed with diversification is almost always a recipe for success, especially when implemented properly.

I think you nailed something really powerful in this post, that being that you need to have a strategy, I think if you just go into something without one, it may work for a little while, but in the end anything that is unorganized is bound to hit the wall from time to time. It’s like constructing a building, without a floor plan, you might be able to complete the task, but its not easy to do it without a plan ahead of time. For me, I feel like you really need to diversify yourself, if you put your egg too much into one basket, it can hurt you in the long run if something goes wrong. You get too dependent on that one egg to constantly produce for you, and if something unexpected happens, you really have nothing to fall back on, that’s something I experienced the hard-way.

Till then,

Jean

No problem Gary. It helps me too, and there are definitely additional strategies, but those are the 3 that come to mind right away when I think of building an affiliate business.

Thanks for sharing this Jeremy. I really like the idea of providing the pros and the cons, it helps me realize the particular business strategy that I’m currently at right now.
