Having Many Blogs

How Many Blogs Can You Handle? Dosh Dosh Thinks 8

Dosh Dosh recently posted that he is starting an experiment where he creates 1 new blog a day for 7 days!  Adding in his existing blog, this means that he will be running at least 8 sites!  Now that is impressive.  Many bloggers, myself included, sometimes find it hard to come up with enough quality to keep 1 site running.  I asked my readers how many sites they ran, stating that it is often better to have one high quality site than 10 smaller sites.   It seems that Dosh Dosh has come back with an answer, one is not enough for him.

Why is Dosh Dosh doing it?  I don’t think that even Dosh Dosh is crazy enough to think that he can keep 8 sites going at once.  However he is doing it for a specific purpose.  He doesn’t intend to manage all his sites himself in the long term.  Rather, he is using his newly created sites as a case study.  He is creating each site in a different niche and attempting to monetize quickly.  He will then be able to summarize which niche he found the easiest to make money in, and he will know what to tackle for his next project.

This is a brilliant concept - Dosh Dosh has hit the nail on the head with his idea of experimenting with different blogs.  He stated in the follow up comments that he will be eventually outsourcing most of the sustaining work of creating new content and managing the blog to other bloggers.  This is how a person should work on his business!  Rather than in his business.

Dosh Dosh is outsourcing for success - Dosh Dosh has a business plan which will eventually allow him to expand his profit outside that range that a normal blogger can manage.  Instead of trying to limit himself to how much he can create, he is going to be recruiting other bloggers to help him.  Dosh Dosh is attempting to become a publisher rather than a write.   And that is how to make money online.

So are you tempted to try to start up a new blog?  How long until you think you’re ready to try to expand out of your current web pages?
