Any others like me?

I own a few sites and am always moving from one to the other to work on it and promote it. I know if I just gave up on all but one I would do much better but I just cant seem to make myself give up the other sites.

Anyone else like this?

 

It all depends on what your interests are. If there are many different things that inspire you, don't give up on any.

 

Well they all interest me but I feel like I am going nowhere fast. LOL

 

Don't go fast, go steady and keep on moving up

 

I was in the same place a little while ago, pulled in all directions. I feel now I have a little better handle on the sites and they are doing better. Most of the stress I had during the time was not having enough sales.

Hang in there and make sure it is worth it before you do get rid of one. How about hiring someone to help is some areas? If possible that may free you up to do what you are best at??? I have been talking to my son about doing some of the work so I can get out to do stuff that I am good at.

 

If you have a site that doesn't seem to "pull the weight" - while you may have an emotional attachment to it - it makes sense to dump it and work on improving the income of a fewer number of sites.

I used to have 4 retail stores online (4 different target markets). After selling 2, and being able to focus on them almost exclusively, I feel a lot better. Its sooo much easier to not only optimize fewer sites, but get good products for them and keep up with the customer service end of it as well.

I put way too much work into both of these to sell them though, although sometimes when UPS spends a week punting my orders across the country (leading to high breakage); it makes me yearn for 1 or no websites LOL.

 

I have a similar problem but they're not my sites. They're my clients sites which I have an obligation to work on. Therefor it's a case of trying to manage my time to fit them all in and make them all successful which can be a tough task at times.

 

I run sites on a bizarre range of topics, from nuclear power to Java programming.

What springs to mind is a quote from Robert Heinlein:

 

Is it a question time or motivation?

 

I think its both.

 

I always look at phat adsense screenshots everytime my motivation drops below zero.

I personally prefer to have several projects building up (slowly but surely )

 

personally I like to have one main site, yanno. Put all my hard work and effort into that. I mean it takes alot of willpower not to go making high PRed sites willy nilly and have the adsense checks pouring in left right and center, but you have to draw the line somewhere, slow down take it step by step once you finish your goals for one site then you can start on your next one.

 

lol you dont have any sites do you?

 

Nope. But I am full of useless advice..

 

I wouldn't have said it was useless but i was reading your post and thought to myself "Hold on, Mella doesn't have any sites."

You should get a blog Mella and make some money off the adsense

 

Mella could have a sweet blog... i bet their would be tons of readers too.

 

I certainly think so. She's pretty funny and I reckon her blog would be pretty entertaining

 

IMO, Build and maintain as many sites as your abilities will allow right now. Consider this planting seeds in the garden that grow. . The reason I say this is it is taking longer and longer for seeds to grow.

 

Yes, but what happens when you plant thousands of seeds and can never get round to watering them? The seeds die and you have nothing left.

Is it not better to find a balance between spending time planting seeds and spending time watering every seed?

 

Good point weirfire, that's why I tried to choose my words carefully:

Just IMO, subject to one's management capacity of course. In my case I enjoy multiple domains, up to 40 now. Most are modified daily.
