i am currently in a dilemma here, whether to focus on one site or develop more sites to earn more... would you stick with one site (what you have) or just go on build many sites to earn more $$$$.
its better to stick to 1 or a few and make them high quality but many sites work too, problem is your time is more spread out and you have much more work to do. on the other hand more sites can be addictive and you can see your collection grow without really noticing, by investing your profits back into your network making it grow, kinda like realestate where you can then sell some of them off when they become more valuable. certainly a long debated topic, i am sure, and no doubt everybody has thier own opinions good luck with what ever path you choose
it depends on your niche......i have 2 sites now...a movie site and a soccer site. The movie i have people updating it regularly, so its all about me just making sure things run smoothly. The soccer site is pretty new, just more than a month old and looking good. So, I have decided to actually go ahead and start a site on another niche i like. It all depends on how much TIME u spend and all about PATIENCE as sites require you to give them a long time to grow, then only will they give back what you really want.....
i am dedicated to full time for developing sites. i have as many as 15 sites and 12 of which i never looked into which is why i am not able to earn more. Those sites i cared much and promoted took off while the other ones just not taking off. This is the most valuable lesson i learnt. i have many many new ideas for new sites, just not been able to put them to work Having said that i have many many new ideas for new sites, just not able to make them work. That is the saddest part
Exactly right, many web sites equal more time needed and your other sites suffer as a result, I guess one way would be to create sites that auto update, but I have never found a script worthy of auto updating and with the ability to make dollars. My issue is I like to make the site get it going and then I find a new idea or script that I want to work with - now I am in a huge mess and I am lost each day as to what I will be doing.
If your planning on developing it to benefit from SEO and other strategies like this i would stick with the one website. I have not stuck to this, and i wish i had now, however it is just so hard to tempt myself out of another project. But i keep having to sell other projects on unfinished now which is rather annoying. So yes try and stick with one. Will.
Concentrate on one and once it is established and earns a decent money, make another one. Dont rely only on one site BUT make sure to spread out your time effectively.
I have found in the last year that by trying to run multiple sites I have not been able to give any one site the attention it needs to really become something. I am trying right now to reduce my number of sites. I think 1 big site makes more sense than multiple small sites.
why? i would disagree and say its important to diversify somewhat, especially if you rely on your internet income as your only income
Just from personal experience I would say, if you're not savvy about the virtual real estate business and if you don't have money to afford to pay people to help you run your multiple websites, it makes no sense to jump in and start up multiple websites. Obviously if you know what you're doing then there's no real problem, but I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the Donald Trump of virtual real estate. Most of the money from my website development and sales projects is not enough to do more than pay the rent; and I know that, had I been focussed on 1 site or just a small number of sites, I could have done more with the sites. By trying to spread myself over 30-something websites (I know this is small by comparison to some other web developers) I ended up with tons of useless sites (useless in terms of lack of revenue and minimal traffic) that I'm lucky to get $100 if I sell them. The problem I have faced is that no money means you do everything yourself and it's impossible to put in enough time to make any real difference. Unless of course you're running sites that run themselves.
both however there are ways to be really successful first start 1 website, dedicate to it, and make it become auto running. once the 1st site is settled with some income betetr than $0 or when it reaches your minimum earning limit, move on to site #2 and so on...
