    I just wondered if i should make multiple blogs or is it better to concentrate on just the one?

    Depends on how much time and what niches your blogs are about. If you have keywords with low competition and high search volume it would be smart to concentrate on those the most. But if you have the time, the more the better in most cases

    Is it good to start with the one blog or should i start them all at the same time (only around 5 - 10) and spend a certain amount of time on them each day?

    It depends on how much tine you cand spend on each of them...and remember, the more work you do the more poor quality it gets.

    I would suggest you to have 2 blogs in 2 different niches.

    But you should have the patience,talent and content to promote them simultaneously.

    It depends, you could mean 5 or 100, but take into account how much time you can spare, are you a good writer, will you get bored of them.....

    I say start with one and learn the ropes, time and dedication it takes to make one successful and profitable. If you can master that, then move on to as many as you can handle.

    More blogs only means more money if you know what you are doing. Just having them is not a given that you will ever make a dime.

    I love the title of your topic !

    I would say start with one blog, learn with your first blog then if you're successful (trafic and $$$) and if you have time, try to build your blog empire little by little.

    You have to analyze your strengths and weaknesses in order to implement the right strategy, you have to analyze the subjects you like, their markets, news sources, competition and imagine how you can manage the whole thing on a daily basis.

    And never give up!

    1 is too small 100 is too big !! Select a number between 1 and 100 ( which you can do justice to ) and start working your @$$ off. You've goto know your secret number ;) !!

    Personally I have several blogs, but not more than I can handle though. 4 is the magic number for me :p So it depends on the amount of time you have for this

    Whatever you can pull off is what matters. It's all about what you can create and maintain. I run a lot of WordPress Bloogs. It takes awhile to get everything setup correctly... so you invest a lot up front. After that it's just a matter of maintenance and a couple of new posts per week... depending on the project goals.

    So decide what you can do... and do it.

    If you have never blogged before I would just start out with one. They can be a lot of work and you may find that starting a lot at once just gets to be too crazy over time.

    Empire in a what way? If you are planning linking those blogs, and hosting them on a same server it's not so great idea.

    From my experience I would say stick with one. After you make it successful you can leverage that blog authority to grow your other blogs

    I would suggest that you concentrate on one blog and make it big! If you start multiple blogs, the quality of your blogs will be decreased.
