Several great sites but no time to promote them all. What should I do?

    I developed a system with review, rating, mapping, tagging, membership, paid membership and directory features. The sites are resource sites for various topics.

    It works great and the response for the sites I just launched is also great. I could use this system for so many different sites but I just don't have the time to promote new sites.

    What should I do? I really don't want to sell the system or any of the sites (5 so far) I have set up. Has anyone experience with joint ventures?

    My idea was to work with people who have established blogs and do a revenue split for as long as they promote my site on their blog. But I'm not sure if this could work out because they know that I can just leave when the site is a bit more established.

    So I'm pretty clueless what I should do any suggestions would be great!

    I agree. Just take it one by one. or Two by two. Marketing 5 sites at one time would be insane and you would need to have alot of time and money. Just pick your best site and start marketing it. Once it has a good amount of traffic or w.e. move to the second one but advertise the second one on the first website(that should give you good amounts of traffic.)
    Thanks

    It sounds like an affiliate program might be good. You would pay people for referrals that actually become paid members.

    I have not personally, but if you pick the wrong person, then you are screwed. Also do not give away any passwords or anythign like that. Because one bad argument and things could turn ugly. But on the other hand they can be nice and profitable most of the time.
    Thanks
