You CAN really attract a solid audience with niche mini-sites.
Discover what everyone is looking for (Google Trends is great for up-to-the-minute stuff)
Get some good PLR articles on the subject and re-write
Add a few RSS feeds throughout the site that deal with your subject to keep the information on the pages fresh (no javascript, since SE's don't see it. Use PHP)
Create a store using PopShops with goods that your visitors would like
Mix in some Adsense (not on the store pages. Better to get the merchandise commission!)
Shake well and there ya go!
My recipe for a great mini-site! Now move along, rinse and repeat!

This is a fantastic thread. Very thoughtful stuff here. I will check out the resources listed above about how to find your niche and let you know what I think.

Thx
Hello dear,
Plz provide the exact idea to get update myself and the stuff you discuss here
thank you so much Linda for clearing up what i was thinking about mini-sites and their high ROI. I have tested one and I was surprised by money we could get from it. Great thread!
Here's another thread you should read. It's a current ongoing step-by-step case study of a guy that's building 25 niche sites and sharing his process and results every step of the way.

I can't necessarily agree that you can do this if you are lazy. I have had to write hundreds of articles and put in mad hours for my niche sites, and I'm not even making money. I am following a specific program, and it is working out well, but it definitely takes effort.
