 Posted: Thu Jul 20, 2006 1:10 pm Post subject: Managing multiple sites |
 |
|
I have talked to a number of webmasters over the months that have over 100 sites.
My question is how do they manage it? I have 5 sites at the moment and I am having a horrible time working on all of them. Just not enough hours in the day. I am actually thinking about cleaning house and keeping just a couple.
The only thing that I can think of, especially with the people with over 50 is that they simply have a core and then a lot of related sites that they may check out or drop by every month or two

If they're trying to manage 100 forums or 100 blogs, ok, that's tough. That's challenging, but if they're talking about 100 sites, any sites, then it's manageable. For example, I have the followings domains and subdomains:
http://www.ooen.net/
http://column.ooen.net/
http://forum.ooen.net/
http://store.ooen.net/
http://store.ooen.net/uk/
http://directory.ooen.net/
http://news.ooen.net/
http://home.ohcnetwork.com/
http://forum.ohcnetwork.com/
http://store.ohcnetwork.com/uk/
http://store.ohcnetwork.com/
http://directory.ohcnetwork.com/

That's 38. All these could be hosted on 38 different domains. I could claim that I have 38 sites then. I admit that some of them look rough, but ... if you're talking about just 100 sites, any 100 sites, managing them all alone is conceivable.

That is true,
I suppose that some of these people could be counting turnkeys and such which would mean that it would not be as big of a deal.
I have a few sites and since I spend a lot of time working on making them better I don't have a lot of time to make new ones.
Actually right now I feel that I have too many sites and am not making enough money to support all of them, but oh well. Maybe I will just sell some of them off at a loss and spend the money on a good vacation.

You can manage even sites like forums without much difficulty if you're making some money. If you spend $40 - 50 or so, you can get 300 posts or so from a paid posting service. That's sufficient to keep making new posting in one of your forums daily.

I'm thinking about selling one of my sites as well. I need some cash.

| It depends on what type of site it is you are trying to maintain. Alot of sites now adays can be left on auto pilot where you won't have to touch them for long periods of time and others need constant attention. |

Hmmm ... maybe the travel site? If the price is right, maybe the health site as well ... It's not that I'm tired of developing these sites. It's simply a question how I manage my business finance, and it would be ideal if I have cash with me in the coming months.

Are you selling the TLDs as well?
do you have any traffic/revenue numbers to show?
What are you asking?

I haven't really thought about it quite frankly. Also I'd personally like to keep them all. I need to check a couple of things. If I can get things that I plan to get done done without having a financial problem in the coming months, I won't be rushing to sell these sites. If anyone's interested in buying, then I'll discuss it casually, but ... no specific price is set yet.
