Mantaining Multiple Niche Sites is Hard

I read today a discussion in digitalpoint forum about a guy who is planning to make 10 niche sites. And then his goal is to earn 5 dollars a day from each site so he would be getting a total of 50 dollars. The advice he got from other forum members is that it is hard to maintain 10 sites especially when you are a beginner.

From personal experience I find this advice to be true. It is very difficult to maintain several sites.

If you have a job and you are doing pay per click sites parttime it is not advisable for you to maintain even just 3 sites. Maintaining a website or blog is hard work.

Providing Content – There are sources of free articles in the internet but you cannot rely on free articles alone. You still have to produce content that is totally unique. And proving content takes time and a lot of thinking.

Promotion – Promoting a site or blog is hard work. If you are going to promote your sites using signature links your visitors will click one of them and not the others. So it means as you promote one site you will indirectly be denying your other sites traffic and attention.

Secondly, building traffic is the hardest task off all.

If you have just one site you can alot some of your hours to it and you will still have time for your regular job.

But if you are maintaining several sites you will find that they will take most of your time.

Even if you do this fulltime it could take six months to more than a year before a website becomes consistently profitable. So you have to make sure you have a passive source of income because you might find that you will have to give up your regular work.

Of course there is a work around to this but it will cost you money. You could hire people to tend your sites. But then again this means you will be investing money with no return until your websites or blogs become profitable.
