Micro Site / Money Pages

I've been doing a bit of research on the site this morning (mostly looking at older posts from 2013 era) on ideas/suggestions/etc. Hats off to senior members to remember some of these links and have posted them lately referring people to them - much appreciated.

Last night I attended a webinar (nearly 2 hours) on affiliate marketing using Clickbank and one of the things that keeps coming up is finding your niche and then creating a micro site or "money" site based on being an informational page(s).

This morning I thought of my niche and I could honestly kick myself as it fell into my lap. People constantly ask me for advice in this one particular area and I know there's a huge demand in it, as I too was "looking" about 5 years ago and the demand for this information just continues to grow.

So my question now is, is about these Micro Sites and money pages. How many pages should these sites be? I've read averages from 2 pages (seems light) to 5-6 pages of content. Those of you with experience in this area, I was hoping you could provide me some advice, as I don't want to spend too much time writing content pages (e.g. 12 pages for example), then the golden rule is around say 4 or something.

I'm also assuming you get web hosting that allows you to host multiple domains? I picked up some decent hosting a couple weeks ago (surprisingly for a completely unrelated purpose), but it allows for the hosting of 5-10 websites, so I think I'm set in this regards. But that said, do you recommend registering a domain name related to every niche area you're into? For example, if you're niche is on "picking pears", would you look to register a domain for pearpicking.com or would you grab a more general domain called picking.com as you plan to have niche sites on pear picking, orange picking, lemon picking?

Or would you recommend I create a micro site on Picking Pears and the other sites on Pears, like "Pear Cider" and "Growing Pears" and then have the sites all link back and forth to generate the backlinks?

Note - picking fruit is not my niche, I just threw it up there as an example... LOL...

Cheers,

Anyone?

I would go a little broader and also add WAY more pages of content. Like if you want to write about pears, don't separate it into one site for every topic, create a site about pears and add sections for each topic. One site is easier to manage and creates more authority. Pick something you can update regularly.

You can't just stick up a 5-page site and expect to rake in the dough.

OK thanks, that helps. I'll specialize in the one key area then as I know it well (kicking myself a bit though as I used to have a domain and I wrote content for the site several years ago and then did the typical 'nothing' with it).

Cheers,
