Put your eggs in one basket .

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

The following advise was given by Andrew Carnegie on June 23, 1885 when addressing the students of Curry Commercial College of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

“Don’t put all your eggs in one basket” is all wrong. I tell you “put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket.”

Although he was referring to investing, I believe we can learn dfrom this and apply it when starting a business ini this case an eCommerce website here in WA. So find a niche, build your website, get your affiliate connection and start blogging, and leave the next website for latter when you are satisfied with the first one and have developed enough traffic and sales.

"Don't put your efforts in many websites, put them in one and whatch it grow".
