On the one hand, you need to FOCUS on one blog long enough to get it established. This takes time and effort. However, at some point it feels like you're one of those "one-hit-wonders" that has to keep singing the same song over and over again for 50 years. I try to focus on one thing until I get really bored. Then I force myself to continue for a little longer. The it is time to branch out to something else while still maintaining the first project. But you can definitely not expect to gain any momentum if you're jumping all over the place. Always a fine line to walk.

I am glad I don't depend on money from online venture... many of my niche sites are Amazon affiliate sites, and with amazon being down right now as i write this, there goes all possible earnings for today (until it's fixed) I just recently learned this with regards to monetization… I am glad I don't depend on money from online venture… many of my niche sites are Amazon affiliate sites, and with amazon being down right now as i write this, there goes all possible earnings for today (until it's fixed)

Also I'd start with the blog that makes you the most revenue first and leave the personal blogs until the end.

How I would handle it is to ask myself which has the potential to make the most money long term, and which do I prefer working on. I'd choose these two to work on most, then spread the time out on the others evenly. But I think it's still important to make sure your quality across all 5 blogs remains the same.

It also depends on your schedule and priorities -- I think I personally would focus on two good blogs, because I do work full time and have a lot of other social and work activities.

I dont update my personal blog that often but I do enjoy updating it Good to hear from someone else in the same position. I definately wouldnt rule out selling the new blogs in the future if I find that overall I am not progressing. Rod – I'm in the same boat – 1 personal blog and 4 niche.

I fnd that I spend most of my time working on the one niche that's probably not going to bring in much income, but it's the one that has the most traffic, and the one that I enjoy working on the most. It's frustrating that it's probably not going to be a bigger earner, but it's tough to consider just walking away from it to concentrate on the others. But that's what I may have to do at some point.
