Most successful internet marketers own more than one site, in fact most own many. My own portfolio runs to a couple of hundred sites, most of them are actually mini-sites. The great thing about mini-sites is they are really cheap, easy and quick to produce, and they allow you to check out ideas - if one of your mini sites is successful then it can be expanded.

Self Made Minds have a great post on mini sites detailing how they can be made and hosted, and how much money you can expect to make from them. Unusually for affiliate marketers these guys have provided actual figures for one of their sites so you can see the real deal!

When living in another country as an expat it is important to ensure that your health and property is properly insured. Expat insurance is a specialist area of the insurance industry and it can be difficult to find insurers for your individual case.

There is a site that provides a useful list of major expat insurers, and details of the services they provide. Expat Intelligence also provides handy info on tax and health care for expats, there are so many different things to think of it is a good job that there is a website dedicated to helping expats!

Being a Private Investigator sure must be an interesting career. You would get to move in all circles of people and find out some really interesting stuff, as well as getting to play with really cool toys. Did you know that there are Private Investigator schools to teach the required skills?
If you are interested in becoming a Private Investigator, or you just want to find out some information about someone or some company, then there is a wealth of information available on the internet. From using freely available services to finding specifications of surveillance equipment, it is all online.

Running your own company is a very satisfying experience, but it can be fraught with danger, especially in the start-up phase. Getting help with planning your company’s strategy and the mechanics of company setup, finance and accounting is of utmost importance when your company is in the early stages.

Entrepreneur support exists to guide you through this minefield, giving free guidance to entrepreneurs of all types, but with a focus on online entrepreneurs. The articles for web entrepreneurs discuss choice of product or service to sell, setting up the equipment and services you will require as well as successful sales technique.

What business couldn’t do with a little more capital to expand? New business credit cards such as the citi business credit cards offer 0% interest for up to 12 months. The deals offered by the credit card companies are constantly changing, so it pays to keep up to date on new business credit cards as they are offered.

Other great deals include the below prime rate card from Advanta. This card gives you 15 months on balance transfers at 0.26% below the WSJ prime rate. Advanta also have some very good deals on ‘life of balance’ transfers, which give you a low rate on the balance transferred until it is paid off in full.

When holding a conference or business meeting the choice of venue is of utmost importance. The choice of venue reflects on your business. That is why we recommend The Bruntsfield as a great conference centre in Edinburgh.

Choosing a hotel in Edinburgh is difficult as there are so many, it is a popular destination for holidaymakers as well as being the commercial hub of the area. The Bruntsfield leads its class in all aspects, having a superb location close to the city centre, good accommodation and great conferencing and meeting facilities, with attentive, courteous staff on hand to make sure your function runs smoothly.

Paid posting is a great service for webmasters of forums or social sites, and offers a good opportunity for freelance workers to make some money whilst writing and talking about topics that are of interest to them. Paid forum posters and paid blog posters can find work here in a good environment, and build up their reputation in a similar manner to the feedback system used on sites like ebay.

One feature I would like to see implemented at Paid Posting is the ability to offer a job straight to a poster. Sometimes you find a specific poster who would be good working in your niche and there is no need to put the job up for bids.

Examining the past has always been a good indicator of what the future may hold, and this is especially true when looking at financial markets. By viewing the history of the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (or Historical Prime Rate) it is possible to identify trends and calculate averages.

If you are interested in predicting possible changes to the Prime Rate which may have effect on your savings or credit agreements then I recommend visiting the WSJ Prime Rate website, which features a historical database of the Prime Rate since 1947, the current Prime Rate, and Prime rate Forecast.

Find out more about Prime Rate history and the WSJ Prime Rate.

Choosing a niche to market in comes down to more than just what you know. Many articles on internet marketing will tell you that you should stick to a topic that you are knowledgeable and passionate about, but when you are running several hundred sites this just isn’t practical, or necessary (if you are running many sites then you need to be hiring content writers who will research the topics and write for you).

My friend John posted a useful list of niches at his adsense blog. Looks like his experiences are pretty similar to mine, although I have never worked in the automotive arena. Maybe I should, I can just imagine myself swanning around in some of the cool cars you can rent in Vegas… the job might have perks

If you are in the real estate business and generate leads through the Internet then you should be reading News For Realtors.

The blog deals with Internet Marketing from the perspective of a realtor or real estate agent, and discusses issues that might affect you, including lead generation companies and real estate directories.

Ken Smith (the author of News For Realtors) has written an excellent summary of the PubCon site reviews that have been in the news recently, again Matt Cutts talking of how many sites you own affecting your ranking has been highlighted. Also of note is the way that Greg Boser describes the online real estate business

Many web designers work freelance or on their own business. It has been an easy time the last few years for adsense publishers, but there seems to be an undercurrent of change… reading the forums, many publishers earnings are in decline. Although ‘making hay whilst the sun shines’ is a good idea, it is also a great idea to have more than one income stream, and my personal choice is real estate investing.

The key to real estate investing is to find motivated sellers looking for a fast home sale. From this point you can do a basic renovation on the cheap house and ‘flip’ it (sell it on quickly), or lease out the house. Real estate complements being a web entrepreneur perfectly as property is such a solid business. Buy land ~ they ain’t making any more!
