How Big Is Your Website?
Many online experts will tell you that all you need is a one
page sales site to make money online. While this is in many ways
true, if you have been online for any amount of time, the idea
of a one page site is a novelty.
Even just having a one page site requires you to also have other
pages that co- exist with the main page.

These are just basics. You will find yourself adding other pages
in a short time:
Help pages Linking pages contact page
Plus if you are looking to rank better in the search engines,
you will find yourself putting in content pages with interesting
articles. Adding other pages like a page of freebies for your
visitors or even simple interactive add-ons to make your site
"sticky".
The thing is - you will need many other pages to get your site
ranked within the search engines, build trust with your visitors
and establish yourself as a professional within your niche.
My suggestion is to start slow. You don't want to build too many
pages at once (too many pages can seem like spamming). Put a few
articles on your site each month. Add some easy interactive
features to your site.
Depending on your niche you can find free articles online that
you can reprint within your site. You can also find some tools
to add to your site for your visitors to use.
You should also place a links page that includes links you
exchange with other sites as well as any sites you feel your
visitors can benefit from. Don't just add affiliate links and
reciprical links. Actually put links that are a value to your
visitors. This will help establish you as someone they can trust
and not just a person looking to sell them something at every
turn.
Finally, be sure to your navigation includes access to your
pages so it will help you with SEO and make it easy for visitors
to find what they want.
I am sure that once you begin and make that one page site - you
will slowly find yourself adding more content, links and offers
for your visitors. All this will help you increase your search
engine popularity, make your site "sticky" and help establish
that trust with your visitors that can turn that one page site
into one that converts sales.
