| Is it possible to build a VRE with mutiple 5-page mini sites as opposed to single mega-sites? Which, in your opinion, would be the most profitable and why? |

The bigger site will always win because it has more content behind the themes. More content = more pages indexed = more top 10 rankings for long-tail keywords = more search engine love for your broader more competitive terms.
You could build 50 mini sites that would have less earning power than 1 big site if you do it right.
I have left the days of churning sites out 1 per week behind and opt for authority site building. They have a sustainable presence on the web and they always beat small content sites.
I hope this helps,
Charles

| Thanks Charles. I'm going to work on finding a profitable niche following TMP. The hardest part is finding a profitable niche and then getting inspired about it. Fortunately, I still have a day job, but by next year at this time, I want to leave it behind and be able to make enough money off my website to retire. Wish me luck. |

There is no luck involved 
It is a process for sure. Keep reading and practicing the mechanics.
The biggest thing you need to do is decide what you would be passionate about and then decide how you will contribute yourself to that passion for the benefit of others online.
This may be the hardest part of designing a web business but can be easily concluded after you answer and then contemplate some of these questions for a while:
1. When you're not worried about “making money,” what do you spend your time doing or thinking about?
2. What are the last 5 non-money making related books that you read? -- and why?
3. What are the last 5 non-money making related magazines that you read? -- and why?
4. Look in the Internet History section of your web browser. What are the last 100 non-money making related websites that you visited? -- and why?
5. What non-money making related websites have you bookmarked? -- and why?
6. If you had 20 billion dollars and never had to worry about money again, what would you do with your time?
7. Look at your desk and around at your office. What non-work related things are there? -- and why?
8. What do you usually talk about with your friends?
9. How did you meet your non-work related friends?
10. What social groups (online or offline) do you belong to?
11. What kind of non-money making email lists do you subscribe to?
12. What would you do on your ideal vacation?
13. If you could have any job you wanted, what would it be?
14. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? -- and why?
Keep these questions foremost on your mind for a week or so. Eventually you will have an AHA moment... a revelation.
This will be your million dollar idea peeking its way into being 
Then its just a matter of following the mechanics like in The Master Plan to make people aware of your service.
Best regards,
Charles |

Hi Charles,
No, I have not tested it because I have been so busy with the upcoming launch of University 20/20.
I have been hearing a bit about mini-net and am interested. Could you explain the basic concept?
Thanks,
Charles |

Hi Charles,
I'm referring to ideas that can be found in Michael Campbell's "Revenge of the Mini-Net"
Instead of creating 1 huge site, you would be creating a network of sites interlinked between one and funnel page rank. These sites are interlinked in such a way that they seem natural to the SE's. Although they have been used for BH strategies, they can effectively be used for white hat sites as well. So in essence, you would can create your own authority site by design.

My only question about this tactic is what benefit would it provide as opposed to keeping all relevant information on a single authority site and funnel page rank internally?
The larger site will win over the smaller mini-nets because it is depper in theme and is easier to manage backlinks. In other words, you would only have to gain backlinks for one site as opposed to 5 or 10.
Does this make sense?

Hi Charles,
The biggest benefit would be seen when comparing off page factors versus onpage factors. As you know, off page factors are very significant.
To illustrate this idea, one of the popular posts on this forum (from Johnyboy83) shows what a person can get out of a mini-net from a short time frame:
http://www.seo2020.com/seo-forum/viewtopic.php?t=287&start=20&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
In this post, he provides a diagram and explains how he's creating an internal target page (one way links to the primary keyword page) and also the interlinking of related niche sites-which then provide backlinks to the main site. These related niche sites can be the individual unique sub-themes of the TMP site.
