Focus on one blog or spread across multiple blogs?

Focus on one blog or spread across multiple blogs?

Here’s a common dilemma: should we focus on just a single blog or spread our time across multiple blogs? As with many decisions, the answer rests inside our self.



First, let’s reflect a little:

• Are we an experienced internet user?
• Are we a good writer?
• Are we able to multitask well?

We can consider to running more than one blog site if we answered YES to all of the questions. But, if we even answered NO to any of the questions, then you can start with just one and revisit this decision on a future date. Here’s the reason:

1. If we are not an experienced internet user, we will struggle with basic concepts. If we can’t figure out a way to do something that is intuitive to a twelve-year old, then we should probably take baby steps when starting a new venture like this. Otherwise, it will be incredibly overwhelming and we will eventually look for “opportunities” to give up. We must learn to crawl before we can learn to walk.
2. If we are not a good writer, then we’re going to be spending too much time for creating a content. How about buy some quality content and post them?? Sure, we can buy content or aggregate it from another site but that’s not really the best way to run our first blog site. The best method is still creating our own original content and doing it regularly. Ideally, for someone with a full-time job, a realistic number is 4-7 posts per week (once a day is perfect if our schedule allows). How are we going to do that for two, three, or more sites if we can’t quickly decide on topic, write an interesting blurb, and get our point across in a very efficient manner?
3. If we are not a good multitasking, then we'll find that running multiple blog sites was very difficult to manage.

Could we handle ten blog sites? Probably. However, there’s only so much time in a day and my goal is to be smart about our businesses. That includes getting the biggest bang for the buck. you can choose to stick with my niches that you love and focus on harvesting what you have. That doesn’t mean that we won’t start another blog site tomorrow but the point we are trying to make is just because we can, doesn’t mean we always should. If you look around, you could find very successful bloggers with many sites and struggling bloggers with just one site. Now, start with one and use that as your playground. Remember, although writing fresh content is a key ingredient, there are a lot of other things that we must think about, such as: designing and evaluating features, increasing traffic, earning income, creating partners, leveraging affiliates, just to name a few!
