Multiple Blog Sites

June 18, 2009

Blogging has become a lucrative market for those that are beginning their businesses at home. For those that are trying to manage several blog sites at the same time, it can become a confusing and overwhelming process if you don’t get some structure behind your work habits.

Time is always a factor when building blogs. Most people do not have enough hours in day to just run their lives never mind trying to manage adding fresh content to each of their niches.

If you only have one or two sites, then adding content and making these sites perfect for search engine optimization does not have to be so difficult. But let’s say you are trying to make money online through blogs and have over five, ten, twenty, or even a hundred websites, trying to keep up with maintenance and adding fresh material can become an insurmountable obstacle.

When dealing with multiple sites, it is always best to design a system to keep track of progress. Using index cards and making an Excel sheet are great tools to organizing and seeing exactly what you have worked on previously.

Also, time management is important. If you only have a few hours a day to work, be aware of time spent surfing the net, reading blogs, watching videos, or just checking on how your sites are performing on Google or your affiliates. You have to discipline yourself to work on only your websites when you sit at your computer.

If you have the money, outsourcing your material to freelance sites can help alleviate the burden that writing material for all your sites can encompass. The price for articles averages at one dollar per hundred words, but some freelance writers will offer you package deals. The only disadvantage to outsourcing material is that usually have to rewrite material submitted. For those that have a hundred sites, finding people to write for them is the only way they can keep their blogs current.

Whatever your goal is managing multiple blogging websites, you must learn to not spend too much time on one and neglecting others. People have a tendency to spend all their time on websites that are making them money and not building up their other blogs. If you build on each site equally, eventually all your websites will show a profit instead of focusing on just a few.
