Without a real defined sense of direction, it’s easy to feel spread thin. Take me, for example. I own 30 or so domains. Nine or ten of them are active blogs. There is no way on God’s green earth that I can write daily to each blog while I spend 11 hrs away from home each day.
Had I been more focused, I would have picked one or two blogs max and focused on developing those. As it stands now, I really do that anyway. I always give two or three blogs preference and the others sit stagnant for days or weeks at a time. It’s not really the most productive use of my time. Successful professional bloggers (who live off of advertising) write 10-15 blogs per day. That’s a good 5-8 hour day on average.
Though blogging isn’t my ultimate goal, I would love to have that kind of freedom. As it stands, I’ve made a total of $42 in more than a year - not exactly replacement salary.
But each new blog I’ve built has been based on a real desire of mine to write on the specific topic. So I may be honing in on what I love. I just might need some help keeping the older blogs from getting dusty.
