How many websites can you handle alone before you need help? What is the main reason to get someone to help? Is it to get expertise or avoid repeditive tasks? Any other reasons?
Most people probably cannot handle one website themselves if they are doing everything they should be doing... writing original content, handling all sorts of marketing, comments, linkbuilding, ad swaps, finding products to promote or creating them, ad campaigns, etc. It really is too much work for one person. Now add in doing all this for 2, 3, 10, or 50 sites? That's what help is for.
It depends on the type of the sites you will have. Some sites require daily posting and moderation espacially forums really need time so you will be maybe obliged to hire somebody to help you. On the other hand auto blog work on autopilot so you may run more the a hundred at the same time.
To be honest it depends on the kind of website. If you have another website which requires low maintenance but the other one requires high - then you can probably handle it yourself. If you have 2+ websites which require high maintenance i.e. a couple of blogs then it would probably be a good idea to get some help.
I see it is for time reasons really! Helps me to choose my next project wisely! Thanks a lot guys for sharing!
Lots of people new to IM take on too much and try and do it all themselves. For your first site, keep it to one - learn the ropes and then with your next project work out what you are good at, stick to that and outsource all other activities.
I guess outsourcing tasks has become a very important part in the IM world. You can not handle everything on your own, there is too much work involved: Graphic Designing Web Development Content Writing SalesCopy SEO These things take expertise and time, so if you really looking to scale up your business and thinking longterm you should start outsourcing tasks.
Handling one website needs a lot of work. But when you are doing one method maybe you handle one to three website.
It's better to outsource tasks as quickly as possible. As soon as you begin earning take some of that capital and reinvest it into the growth of your business. You will actually quadruple your income this way...and your business and sales will grow much faster. It also allows you to focus on more opportunities.
I couldn't have said it better myself... Once you get to the point where you are making good enough profit from the first site that you set up on your own, you can start paying people to do most of the grunt work from that point on.
If it was my full-time job to manage my websites, then I could probably manage 10 maximum. Then again it depends on the site itself. Some sites are harder to manage than others.
It depends of course. As someone said one site can be way to much if it's big enough. On the other hand if you only have a lot of affiliate sites that you don't need to update you could probably run a lot of them if you want. Then you just need some kind of system to pay domainnames and webhotels.
It's definitely too hard to go creating a bunch of websites and expect to handle the content and promotion all on your own. Outsourcing provides you the luxury of managing multiple websites at a time.
