Thanks,

To this day, I am still cutting down. After making so many mistakes, I am finally figuring out what is best for me.

Thanks for sharing! Stumbled for its relevancy to my internet journey!

I think the social networking is the culprit for most bloggers. I like stumble, digg, and BC discussions and pretty much just hang out there, I have met some very key contacts and fabulous friends from these sites.

I try to rotate through them quickly though. Although I can’t help as a researcher to always be digging and stumbling.

Any other sites my blog is registered at I spend less than 15 minutes at a day, and that is if I even stop by to check my facebook or anything like that.

I think Twitter is a giant time vacuum…

“What am I doing?”

Umm…I don’t think you really want to know what I am doing…I am a doctor. You will be scared to know about what I am REALLY doing. ;)

Thanks for the useful tips!

I’ve come to realize that one site is more than enough for me at this point and time. Of course, the thought of another site feels exciting – yet there’s got to be enough time and motivation for the machinery to go round…

Indeed, having multiple blogs helps a lot, however, I sincerely think that diversifying one blog is the best choice. And if you start to earn so well, then you can have one more (exactly as you have DPS). I am also planning to have one more when I start to get at least a hundred dollars from my first blog and can jump into blogging full time.

As far as popularity is concerned, I know when our product becomes popular, and we become more powerful, our quality should increase. I am in that stressful situation now, having to research well and write only quality content : “with great power, comes great responsibility.”

Social media marketing as you mentioned is one good aspect to get visitors, but as you say too many social media sites, it’s good to concentrate on one or two toppers only, correct?

I am counting on Google for most of my visits, though I add in Digg and other some social media sites, Google traffic is great for long time.

Multiple blogs probably work well for people who write as part of a team. For example being able to write 2 articles on any given topic a week wouldn’t be too difficult and it would work well for readers if the off days were filled by other writers on the team. For one person though it’s hardly doable because of how badly everything suffers.

As for your tips deadlines is what rings truest with me. I have a horrible habit of giving myself rotating deadlines. In other words I tell myself I’ll get it done by a certain time, but in the back of my mind I’ve already determined that it doesn’t matter if I do or don’t.

People expect top quality information. Passion is very important to follow through. It is hard or even impossible to fake empathy.

In my opinion, multiple stream of income is not about multiple blogs, but income from multiple sources from one (or at most two) niches.

These are good points to keep in mind as I venture into the wilderness that is multiple blog ownership.

Thanks for the post.

I have multiple blogs planned, but am thinking of keeping it to 2 or 3. I’m getting better as time goes on, and use software to help me make some of the blogging tasks easier, but to do quality work it takes dedication and focus on one thing.

I practically have to force myself to stay focused, but find the results are much better.

As far as income streams are concerned I like to have at least 3 different types. Obviously I’ll ditch the ones that dont work, again adsense and donations is my biggest stream at the moment.

I have always read that relying only on one income stream is not good strategy. So, very often I find myself searching of one avenue or the other for monitization. This, when I should be writing more!

Thankfully, I am not at all thinking of running multiple blogs. I am instead focusing on my site on personal finance and investment planning – something I am really passionate about.
