Just own one right now, though I used to own like 10+ back in the day (smaller ones). One is a lot easier to manage now.
There is a theory that you should master one skill before going into others, the problem is with so many options it is hard for an Internet marketer to stick to one technique
It really depends on what you are doing and how you operate your online business. Most people have more than one website, whether they have a landing page that sells a product, a blog, or an affiliate page that collects e-mails etc. I would say most successful internet marketers have more than one website. They might have multiple websites in different niches, they might have multiple websites in the same niche it really depends. If you are just starting out with marketing online you might want to limit they amount of websites you own to about 1 or 2 websites so you can get a feel for what it takes to own a single website. Then once you have a good grasp on that you can scale up your efforts and expand to other websites and other niches hopefully.
I have 3 niche blogs, one store, one big website, and a website for my seo services .. It's the best choice I think .. you must vary your methods ..
Right now I have only one. Selling my own brand. Lot of work to promote, few conversion (1 month old). I think that in 3 or 4 month I could open another one selling other type of product, I am in the process on founding a new brand. I don't do affiliate, I prefer to sell product that I have on my hand. Better profit and more tangible.
Currently 3 and soon 4. I am only working on big projects and don't have time for others so that explains the amount of websites.
It's all about how much time and energy you have to maintain it or them. Blogs and "news" types of sites must be kept up to date and can be a pain, if it is only you adding the content. Sites that allow visitors to add to the content are the best, but must be controlled, as people may abuse things. I suggest going with ONE web site and once you get it running the way you want, try to recruit a couple people to maintain it (revenue share with them). You can set up some free web sites and see how it goes. If nothing else, these could be good backlinks to your main site. Check out Weebly, Google Sites, and others for free offerings.
Great answer usasportstraining .. Thanks for that .. Rep+ I myself try to make blogs and websites with information that are useful anytime anywhere .. news type blogs are really hard to maintain ..
i'm currently working on 3 web sites. two of them are mini and one is a large scale site. i might add one more and that would be it for right now. but to be honest, i don't focus too much on the mini sites.
I own 3 websites and they are all hosted by Godaddy. They all were setup using the wordpress platform. I intend to set up a fourth website. I consider wordpress the best platform for setting up websites; it has basically most of the features for setting up a professional website which looks just right.
I own 2 that are up and running, but I also have another two I need someone to build and finish for me. One is gonna be a kids only social network and the other i wanted to be like adhitz.com. If anyone can finish these for me for a pretty good cheap price, let me know.
lol...I thought I was the only one. To me the ideal would be one kick *ss site that "takes" and becomes main stream, like a new squidoo, or some strong community driven enterprise that is monetized from the start. Unfortunately the reality is many different little streams of income that add up to something acceptable, but kinda annoying because Id prefer to flock my energy into one good project and get it perfect, rather then spread out like this and they all have small problems and things I want to change, but couldnt be bothered, or the change does not merit the effort..
I own 2 websites - one is my business (and blog) and the other is a personal blog which I co-run. I work on websites everyday however, for my clients. Currently working on 5 websites (which is a lot tougher than you might think believe me!)
I think putting all your effort into one site will probably develop longer sustainability. I once ran one website only and it was more successful than the multiple ones I run today.
Well I can't say much. Because I am new to this but I have two blogs. One is for twilight fashion. The other is a how to boutique the how to one is under construction but I plan on just using these two for several years
Only two. I like to do experiment on SEO, so i will establish the site and work on SEO, and then i will sell them out once it get good ranking. Then, work for another site
It's better to focus on a project at a time, but it's something I cannot do... I'm always working on dozens of projects at the same time... a big mistake but it's how I work...
