i have started many beautiful sites thinking i could accomplish so much but slowly i am finding very difficult to manage the sites or add content. why is it so? of course, most of it are wordpress blogs.
Different people have different ability Just give up some of them or hiring someone to help if you not able to manage all your blogs
Hmm - a good bit of outsourcing obviously springs to mind, find a college leaver perhaps, look for offers on forums, check fiverr. I know that I totally empathize with your situation and I use automation as much and as smartly as possible, but at least one human assistant will, in theory, halve the your work load and lessen that inevitable feeling of overwhelm.
We have a large number of sites and we tend to cycle through the sites, which actually makes it a little easier so you don't become bored. Additionally if you can create scaleabe content or prep content to be released over time it can be quite effective.
Sounds like you bit off more than you can chew. You may want to pick a few favorites and work on them for now, and let the rest age for a while.
You can outsource some of your content for a fairly cheap price. The down side of this is that the quality of your content might drop significantly. Have you looked into asking guest writers for your blogs? Many guest authors are more than willing to write for other blogs because it gives their blogs increased exposure and they can get backlinks to their blog when they write for you. Just e-mail a few blogs that are in the same niche as yours asking them to guest post for you and I bet you will get a high rate or people willing to help you out. I've seen people go on vacation for 30 days and they were able to find people to write for their blog every day they were gone... If you really need to you might have to drop a few blogs. I had 3 blogs going at once and I also had other projects on the go so I had to sell 2 out of the 3 blogs so I could focus my attention on other blogs as well. Depending on the quality of your blogs you could sell them for a decent income, and use this money to hire people to write for you... These are just a few options, hopefully they help you out!! Good luck...
Personally I have only ever managed one or two sites at a go, simply because there is so much that can be done on one site! I would tend to outsource the content writing, uploading and even the backlinking! Regards Chris
very true! which is the one i am most concerned for. i always prefer a quality content and i am the best at doing it which is why i do it myself even it means lot of time.
It sounds like you're trying to take on too much at once - Are these sites making money/are they worth keeping up? Perhaps you would want to consider the 80/20 rule and pull the plug on the websites you don't need (would anyone be interested in buying the sites from you?). As others suggested, outsourcing or "cycling" between them may be another good option.
I had the same problem... The right decision, for me, was - to choose the most profitable sites, and concentrate on them. Rest - to the extent possible.
I agree, we don't have that time to manager a large amount of websites, Just hire someone who can handle it for you for a reasonable salary
I disagree strongly on this one . Building your own team will be much more efficient . @OP If 10 websites are to much for you to handle maybe you should improve your time management . Superior tools & superior knowledge can minimize time spent on various tasks . For example article writing becomes easy if you use a program like Nuance Dragon .
Yeah, thats why I don't like to mess with blogs they take to much to keep up. I agree with others outsourcing and cycling. I would probably find a couple of good writers and just make up a list of articles each week and send out the orders, check them and post them all at once, then spend a little time each week on one or two blogs with seo, graphics, etc
It's a business basic. Pick a core competancy and focus on that (in this case one website) once you make enough $$$ take a chunk of that and hire someone for the next project.
