Finding a new Niche
Im feeling inspired, so it is time to create some momentum.
Niche Hunting
I am currently researching some new niche ideas for my new lease on life. I am keen to kick of the coming year with a couple of new niche websites that I can develop and bring to life.
So I have started looking firstly at some of the things that I have a real affinity for. There are a bunch of things that I am really passionate about and a few that I know a bit about, so these are the basis of my research.
Using the WA Tools and Google
I have found using Jaaxy in conjunction with some keyword searching on Google has really helped me find a few niches that I want to start working on.
But I wanted to see what people think about working on more than one website at a time. Do you think it is a good idea or should I get them going one at a time? I plan to get the basics up and working then look at outsourcing some of the content creation so I can manage things easier and concentrate more on the design and SEO.
Let me know what you think. Do you think it is best to have one site or ok to try a number?

Hi James,
As of right now Sue and I have 3 websites. One is dormant, one is active but probably at the end of activity and one is going full steam.
Whether you should do more than one website at a time depends on the person. I have found that one site devoted to WA has reached the end of the line. Any WA affiliate site is highly competitive and I just can't add to it very much.
My aviation website is much easier to add to, although I have a ways to go, I have done better with that one.
So it all depends on your interest and does the niche offer a lot of opportunities to easily add articles.
That probably will be your determining factor.

Thanks Bill... I have had a couple of sites going at the same time previously. But they were high maintenance ones ..so Im looking at doing lower input product review type ones.
I think it depends on your skill level and your available time. I know I can't handle more than one but everyone's effort and motivation is different. I know the training suggests one at a time...get that one monetized and successful before moving on. That makes sense to me.

Thanks Debbie... I have a main site that takes up most of my time ... Ill try an additional single niche product type site and see how we go.
I don't recommend working on two sites at the same time. Wait until you know that the first is a success, then work on the second one, as you'll know what to duplicate and what not to do again. It will save you time in the long run for sure. That doesn't mean you can't make notes or buy URLs for the second site, but keep your focus on learning the craft before repeating the process.
As a blog, your site is never complete and always being added to. No matter when you start a new site you would now have two to upkeep.
So do you feel you could keep two sites up and running? This will give you the answer to your question.

Trying a couple is fine if you are thinking about outsourcing the content. In this way it would give you more time to manage them.
Your social media following and you list building will have to be carefully thought out. I would start with one and with hit main stream, begin the other. Just my thought on this. All the best.
I'd suggest to start with one site.
Building a site is not a big deal. But maintaining it, push it up in the search engines, etc is a time consuming continuous task. And doing that on more sites can be really overwhelming.
The multi-niche approach can be very productive, but if you fly too high at the very beginning, you might have "navigational" problems. And be sure to test separately and carefully each niche as they'll probably require a different approach. A few hints: How to choose the perfect niche Godspeed!
