Juggling With 2 Sites - Worth it?

Hallo there everyone,

I have not posted in a while. I have had so much on my plate that I almost forgot there is a blog space here at WA to share with WA family our experiences with our online businesses lol.

Anyways, I have been having some revelation in the past week which I thought was worth sharing and also getting feedback from you.

If you are a person who has and personally manages 2 websites at the same time, this message might hit closer home.

So as many of you know I have two websites, one for the affiliate bootcamp and another which is niche related.

And I have been the one writing content for both the sites and doing all that is needed to make sure they are all healthy and running smoothly for the past 1 and a half years.

It sure has been a pretty daunting task if you think about it.

The fact that you have to do twice as much work as you are required to make sure both the websites keep growing.

However, just a few months ago, I was approached by some people in regard to the niche related site (https://improveyourbrainpower.org ) and I agreed to merge with them for proper management.

So this freed up my time to focus on promoting wealthy affiliate with the other affiliate bootcamp site.

It also allowed me to see the website start to take better shape in terms of content and authority than it has had when I was working on it myself.

And through the recent weeks as I have been very seriously and extensively on the bootcamp site, I have noticed that the website has started peaking fast as I am able to focus more on it and give it a good deal of attention.

Before, I only allocated about 4 to 5 hours a day to work on it but now I am able to go upto 9 hours.

This really got me thinking.

If by running two websites at the same time means giving each website half attention to each and by running one website you give it full attention, does it mean we should all have only one website?

To be completely honest, based on my personal experience, I would go with option 2.

Have one website.

Looking back, I started out with the affiliate bootcamp website and pushed it for about a year without having anything substantial in terms of returns.

And this is the reason I decided to run a niche site and see how it works for me.

So I put the bootcamp site on hold and worked on the niche site.

And to my surprise, the niche site did and has been doing better than the affiliate site and I was able to scale very fast.

Later on I decide to work on both websites after I was invited by Kyle to the super affiliate program.

I thought the insights of Kyle would help me scale my affiliate site and make it to Vegas this year, which unfortunately never happened although am well on my way there.

So back to the main issue.

When I took on the 2 sites, I was alone and I was the one who pretty much doing everything for all the sites.

From content creation to seo to getting and answering site comments to everything.

And this was pretty tiresome.

Now that I have gotten some relief after the merge, I am now coming to see how demanding this was.

You have divided attention and only have a few hours to work on each site.

Sometimes you get too involved with one site that you decide to miss working on the other site for a day to two, or more.

Sometimes you get stuck with one website and feel disappointed by both of them.

All these are issues some of you have faced.

And my question is, is it really worth it?

Is your attention being double faced worth the effort and the return you are getting from the 2 websites?

For me, I would say it’s not.

Focusing on one website and scaling goes a long way compared to doing a few things on each website every day as you only make a little progress with each.

Although, I stand corrected going by various circumstances of operating the websites.

I would love to hear what you have to say about this. Let me know in the comments below. :)

Cheers,

Dave
