1 Website or Multiple? Certification or Bootcamp?
Oftentimes, I am not often confused as to whether I should start more websites so that they can get mature together but doing so may be overwhelming and result in you neglecting something.
My philosophy in this is for beginners, try making one and making a good one. Once you kind of settled down, your website is a little mature and you get more experienced then that's where you get your second website and so forth.
What do you guys think on this?
Also, regarding certification or getting started here and bootcamp, I personally started certification first because I felt that certification is more on basics (correct me if I am wrong) and bootcamp is for those who have completed certification and have a good and running website.
What are your views on this? Did you start with certification or bootcamp and how did it go?

Important especially for beginners to focus on a single web site, learn from that process, and at some point, you'll know whether to add additional sites. Possessing more knowledge and experience by then, you would probably be able to better assess, and decide whether adding additional sites are necessary, advantageous, or even accomplish any long-term objectives you may have had.
I am in the camp, get one website up and running first before looking at a second.
I started with the certification course. Don't know if I will do the bootcamp, time will tell :)
Man, I can't fathom doing another website. I'm being an idiot right now and combining what maybe could be separate niches into my one blog.
My inclination is to start with one. Get 40 posts up.. Learn he ropes (keywording, etc), the venture onto the second with hopefully much more focus and skill.

I personally think that one website built first is best so the lessons learned can assist when building a second one later. Especially if you're new to this like I am.
I also agree that the certification course should be learned before jumping into bootcamp. Again especially for newbies with no experience.
One website at a time, dividing your attention doesn't help when you have to focus on getting a site ranking.
I think people should definitely start with the certification courses. Competing in the MMO space for a newbie just doesn't make sense to me.
I did the certification first because I wanted to see if I could learn the mechanics of building a website and how e-commerce works. That done, I'm going through Boot Camp. Boot Camp seems to make good sense to me because of the certification foundation. I have 2 websites up and going and, you're right, it can be overwhelming. However, if you have good organizational skills, and can plan what you're going to do and when, you can pull it off.
You look like you are on your way. Keep it up!
