I would agree with outsourcing contents that could save a lot of time although having that kind of volume is kind of waiting too much. You should have to take it step by step and not in an instant – and surely, you’ll get insane much when you cannot even reach the goals that you’ve wanted.

Basically, it starts with a clear mindset. Secondly, that mindset will be applied to creation of mini websites that will start to market your authority site – you shouldn’t have to create too many so you can easily evaluate the results. If that one works, then you can create more as possible.

I hope that helps!

In business they call it the point of diminishing returns. Micro niche sites are great, but unless you have got one that is on fire, income will be limited. Like you I have the same reservation about standing up one or two “flagship” blogs and putting all of my eggs in those baskets.

I think I am going to focus on a dozen or so sites that have profit for high traffic and profit. Time will tell if it is prudent or not.

Thanks for the great post.

I too read, Griz, Vic, and Court. While I loved getting information from Vic’s vids, I noticed that he’s always promoting “products” to buy. I’ve never read Griz even mentioning using BMD or socialbookmarking as link building methods, but Vic seems insistant upon it in order for the “average joe” to get anywhere. I’m not trying to knock anyone though, I love the information everyone has I just don’t see ND that appealing.

I’ll also agree that nothing is more demoralizing than putting time and effort into a site, starting to see a change and then have something come along to screw it up. Lets face it, noone wants to start from scratch after putting time and effort into building links.

An example would be with blogspot. I don’t trust making a blog on there and enabling their feeds(I’ll only go into it if anyone really cares why), but without that you have no sitemap which makes things a tad more difficult. There’s a whole bunch of headaches, but I like to do as much as possible with as little money spent. Maybe that’s my problem, but I do see results when I put time into it. Anyone else feel the same?

I just wanted to say that I enjoyed reading your comments over on Grizz’s blog; I am glad that the first real question mark thrown up about ND in his comments section was put forth in an intelligent and well thought out manner instead of by someone with a short fuse going off half-cocked. : )
… of course that didn’t save you from taking some shots, lol …

I have not visited/lurked here in a while (my bad) and am enjoying your stuff so future visits now on the agenda : )

Re. your spread thin frustrations: I am there with you; before Grizz and others went and opened my eyes to the way things really work in the MMO world, I didnt really have much of a web presence, now I find myself with sooo many little sites everywhere and when you stop and think about it all it can really make you wonder. On top of it all I have not been among the more successful out there (too much time spent babying, I believe) and to that end, I have recently ‘relaunched’ myself (lol) or rethought my efforts and approach and feel that I am the better for it. I understand your message of focus and believe that will be more my route for the next little while. I really do have alist of things like most do and look forward to each time that I can honestly tick another thing off the list. However at the sametime I do believe that there has to be some multi-tasking going on to reach any level of success.

BTW, to those who brought up the subject, Grizz does have that second site out there already, right? The WP site is one where I would expect Grizz to handle the newbie cries for help while having it earn him at least some coin at the same time; at the least he has helped enough people (moi included) to earn the right to let his blogger blog flagship become just a money pump – esp if he can still help somewhere else. (but that is not a stipulation or anything lol)

Okay, time to end this rambling and sign off.

Cheers!

I can understand Grizz’s frustration with answering the same damn questions over and over. How he did two years of that boggles my mind.

In regards to ND, I can see a quick way to make some money by flinging out 1000 or so sites and scooping in the cash before the entire house of cards crashes. I want to cash in and cash out. I may not make anything, but I have a suspicion I might just be able to. And what the hell, I like pushing the boundaries of what’s possible or not, so it’s a personal challenge.

But, there is no “easy money” to be had — that’s fucking for sure.

Anyways, I’m making enough from my other IM ventures to have a brief and hopefully very torrid affair with ND. We’ll all find out in short order if it’s bull shit or not.

Wish me luck lol, I’m going to need it for the next two weeks.
