More Than One Website
How do You do it?
It baffles me as to how any one person can handle more than one website at a time. Of course if you're already successful the answer may be just outsourcing.
But for a great many of us, we are just working on the one or two websites and for me anyway it's more than I can handle.
I'm trying my hardest as I just started on the bootcamp but time is valuable and I don't know how to find time to do both websites. I just hired a writer to help and while I just started, time will only tell.
Is anyone willing to share their plan for accomplishing the multiple websites? I always read to stick to the one or two at the most.
Thanks!

Hello Rob,
I do affiliate marketing part time. After three years, I decided to start my second website. I don't recommend starting a second website until your first one is making you a consistent amount of money.
Hello Rob,
I'm not going to tell you that I don't suffer from the thought process, but I will say that, in my opinion, this is one of the top 5 major pitfalls most people will experience. Taking on too much, abandoning one project for another or simply starting many and finishing none are recipes for failure.
Set a goal for one project, say 20 to 50 posts, then level off to adding 1 or 2 posts a week, while you focus on Project 2. This is just an example, but I hope you get my meaning.
Good Luck, focus is a challenge
Totally understand! Time is a valuable commodity. I think about starting another site, but at this time there is no way to be able to keep up 2. I think the solution for me is called retirement!

I have 8 websites that i am trying to manage . They are all very similiar but i keep getting lost. how do you hire a writer? It might take some stress off of me. Please help.
You can go to sites such as Fiverr or UpWork. There are LOADS of people out there looking for work. You can generally narrow them down by topic and choose whichever writer you'd like to hire. Easy!

Hi Charles, I do freelance writing and would be interested in helping you.
You can mail me on ecuadorexplore2@gmail.com
Having 8 websites is certainly a lot of work. Outsourcing content writing is fine, but you still have plenty of admin work to do for each site. I suggest you focus on 2 or three sites now, and work on the other sites (one at a time) until you get the hang of managing multiple sites.
You know, I've been wondering the same thing myself. I have two more websites I want to start, but don't see how I can possibly write posts for all three. It takes me the whole week to do two or three on my present site. Maybe once the site is a year old, I will be able to start another.
Research is part of the problem. It usually takes me as long to research a post as it does to write it. How do people do it?
Yes research takes some time. That's why WA recommends choosing a niche you are interested in or passionate about. Makes t easier to write the blogs
I made a mistake in having more than one. I don't advice this to newbies like me. It's better to decide what niche you really like and build your domain and website for it.
If you work for it full-time then you can have two.
Hi, Rob, I'm in the same dilemma as you. I recently joined the affiliate boot camp and I'm starting a new website for promoting wealthy affiliate. I don't know what to do, I don't want to leave my other website but I got to admit I'm more excited about this new one than the other one, especially for the main purpose and because that website will be running in my native language which is Spanish.
funny this post popped up on my feed when I was just thinking the same. I really have immense respect for people who can actually work on 4-5 websites at the same time.
Again, I end up thinking its just easy when writing/editing/posting becomes your second nature - and that sure must take a lot of patience and practice. I am new here so hoping to get better at it slowly :)
Good luck to you too

Hi Rob,
It's recommended to start with one website. Once you have a well-established site you can step further.
This isn't mass production and maintaining a website is time consuming,
but of course, the choice is always yours :)

Hi Rob
Yes one website is the way to go until you have at least one hundred posts and or it is making money for you.
We that is what I would do if I started again.
As it is I have four websites and attempting to keep up with them. I am loving the journey but I really have to be focused to keep up the only good thing is that two are mini niches so I will slow down on them soon and only add maybe a couple times a month.
The choice is yours but with more websites comes more responsibility.
