David Fiske A subtle blend of affiliate marketing and web development

The lack of a post today so far (it's now 1942hrs) suggests I've been busy.

I have been working on How To Solve today plus another site I'm racing to get off the ground.

You see, I had a brainwave (just the one!).
 
Here's how I usually work.

1. Build a site
2. Launch it
3. Wait for visitors to come (more often than not, they do come but very slowly and not as much as I would prefer!)
4. Move onto a different idea

The major flaw with this idea is that because I lose interest, it never takes off and it never makes as much as it ought to.

I have upwards of 20 different websites. Each and every one has made some money but on varying scales. My biggest money earners are the sites over at DBFCS (UK Price Comparison Search and Gift Finder).

Compare Sat Nav has the potential of being a great site but lacks visitor numbers. Lingerie Helper (a site nearly up and running) has some novel, sticky features such as a date reminder facility to remind you 2 weeks before your partner's birthday or your anniversary.

But the one thing that is key here is that I have not thrown my weight behind the site. I haven't pushed it in the faces of people. I have not tried to plug it here, there and everywhere.

Here's my brainwave.

How To Solve could prove to be quite a controversial website.

Advertisers may be unwilling to advertise on the site. A lack of advertisers means it is not viable for me to put lots of time or effort in to it.

BUT WAIT.

With a portfolio of niche sites, each tackling a different theme, there is scope to develop several websites that can generate money as a result of traffic from How To Solve. Essentially, I use How To Solve to advertise all my other sites.

Such a simple idea but I overlooked it.

It by no means replaces promoting my other sites but it should help them in turn.
