- It's easier to understand your traffic and sales statistics looking over reports for one site rather than 100.
- With the same logic, it's easier to manage and test your ads and marketing with one site rather than 100.
- It's easier and cheaper to manage new deisgns and scripts with a single site
- If we're talking paysites, it's WAY WAY cheaper to purchase/make content for one rather than 100.
I could go on and on, but I think I made my point. |
1) As I mentioned above, I was assuming it was $1 / $100 per day profit, not gross.
2) I doubt he was referring to paysites at $1 profit per day
3) You fail to see the potential in having many sites produce revenue (even if it's a small amount), the upside is SO much greater.
Ideally, you'd spend a little time on each one until a few start to grow/increase revenue. Now, if a few really catch on (i'm talking even $15 - $20 net profit/day), hire some cheap help to manage while you get the others going.
About 2 years ago i had one main site doing well and nothing else. To be safe I started a little network ... it then became a big network. Most of these micro-sites were built, linked up, and left for dead. A few months later my main site got thrashed by the SEs and the network was all I had ... (some are still producing today)
So, I kept building and a few "blossomed", earning up to $500 / month each. Not to be content, I built out more, spread them around, tried new things (kind of like market research) and lo and behold a few of my big earners got killed off.
Rinse, repeat.
Main point here: Having a network of 100+ sites (or even 10, 20...) allows you to test, expand, cover your ass and most of all, potential for a few to really take off.
So, certainly in my .02, the 100 option is the easy choice.
