You know a lot about a certain subject and want to show your authority by creating hundreds of web pages with your own content.  You have patience to build a real business and can wait for the money to come in after a few months of starting.

Content sites aren’t that dissimilar to building a large blog and have been around a lot longer than blogs.  However, the difference is that you aren’t under any pressure to write useful blog posts for your eagerly awaiting readers on a daily basis.  You can only write a few pages a week if you like and build your site up slowly over time.

I know of people who have been building their one content site for years now and have hundreds of pages all ranking in the search engines with carefully selected keywords.   These people have stamina and dedication to continually write new web pages around specific topics within their niche on a weekly basis.  These people don’t see their site as a web site, they see it as their business – this is the key factor here.

Don’t forget that you not only have to write content for your site but you also have to promote it too making this practically a full-time business in itself.   Two examples of very successful content sites are http://www.anguilla-beaches.com/ and http://www.updatexp.com
