    Watch your stats. Keep alert. Make backups.

    It really all depends on what kinda sites you're running. I run about 30 sites, and somehow manage to keep track of most of them.

    You might want to get reseller hosting
    It should give you the WHM control panel where you can see all your sites.

    Maybe you can also get a thumbdrive with enough space to stall the folders in it
    That way you can bring it to work

    :)

    Start 1, make it successful - make it autopilot and make it successful
    Start 2, repeat above steps, track 1
    Start 3, repeat above steps, track 1 and 2
    ....

    i just have 4 websites to maintain! so it is not all that hard. but then seo etc takes a lot of time, so perhaps i should have controlled on one! i feel the pressure at times!

    What about use to project management software like Base Camp or Active collab?

    This kind of software can be really helpful.

    8?

    The problem begins when it is 50+... and when they have to be fresh content.

    You can automate the process. Problem arises when you update sites manually.

    Scripts are the solution, but i am not so good programmer, and some ready ones can not be implemented sometimes.

    Get it made by some programmer. You spend $200-$300 for a program that can save your 4-5 hrs a day - I think it's totally worth it.
