The PLR AdSense Mini-Site (Part 2)

You might have noticed that I'm not posting as frequently over the last week. I'm busy writing something that should be ready shortly for your consideration. Stay tuned. But that doesn't mean we can't continue the discussion of pre-built AdSense sites we started in Part 1.

Questions To Ask

When you're considering joining a membership site offering pre-built AdSense sites (sometimes they advertise them as “AdSense templates”), you would do well to ask the following questions:

• How long has the membership site been around? Do they have a track record?
• Do they limit the number of members? The fewer people have access to those pre-built sites, the less competition you'll be facing.
• Do they provide any content? If so, what kind of rights do you have to the content?
• Do they have any sample sites you can look at? If possible, see what kind of pages they give you. Is it clean HTML? Do they use CSS for easy style changes? Do they use PHP to automate headers, footers, AdSense ad unit inclusion, etc.?
• How many sites do you get? Prices really vary, so you need to figure out how much each site is going to cost you.

But here's perhaps the most important question to ask: Are you willing to put in the time and effort to make the sites profitable? If you're joining a membership site that gives you 10 sites per month, how many of those are you going to be able to customize — remember, you don't want to put them out as-is — and deploy? If you don't do anything with the sites, you're just wasting your money. (Aside: in his ebook, the Rich Jerk points out that most Internet marketing products depend on this fact. Instead of going out and making money, a lot of people just read about making money, which makes them easy targets for savvy marketers. If you've never read his book, you might want to check it out, it's an entertaining read and it's only $10.)

Next time, I'll take a look at a membership site that I think is doing all the right things.

P.S.: I've gotten several requests to finish my Day Job Killer review, even after my rant on the subject. Maybe I should take a vote. Do you want to see it finished?
