I have 9 blogs. But they are not all updated often. It took so many hours you have no idea. I have a dial-up modem also so it took even longer than it should have. It really is a 7 day a week job.
How many Blogs should a PartTime Blogger run!
Hi readers when I started out on the internet about 12 months ago. I made the mistake of buying these ready made turnkey sites from ebay. I purchased about 12 with topics ranging from bodybuilding to house flipping. All these sites displayed adsense and amazon. Guess what didnt make a single amazon sale and the adsense money I made was just enough to buy me a beer. What im trying to tell you is I jumped straight into it thinking I could make some decent money with having lots of sites, then when that didn’t work, I decided I would start up my own forum. Mistake number 2. Do not start up a forum from scratch unless you have got the time to put some serious hours into it. I have now come to the conclusion of running only one site till it is established, then maybe think about starting another.
Whilst surfing over at Blogcatalog and Mybloglog I was amazed at how many members have at least 5 blogs. These guys must never sleep. Running one already takes up alot of my time. Any PartTime bloggers out there, with over 5 quality blogs tell me now you do it. Your time management skills must be amazing.
Happy Blogging
The PartTimer

9 blogs is alot mike, im sticking to one blog for the time being. Good luck with your blogs.
I have had a large forum ( i still do 
) over at http://www.discusstv.com/forums/ – i started it from scratch at one time , what i did need was at least 2-3 main content guys – people who had an avid interest in the topic . the reason i would not buy a forum is because – you do not know the history .. and often major changes by a new admin antagonizes forum members . but thats just my 2c
Arindra very impressed with the forum, I bet it took you alot of hard to make it though.
Yeah, I’ve only got the one personal blog, and don’t keep it updated very much. But trying to establish an online e-commerce store at the same time believe me when I say I’ve got my hands full! I can’t imagine trying to take on more than one startup company/business/blog/forum at a time.
I started with one blog and added another one about three months later. When I thought I could cope, I added another one, also about three months later. In the last two months I have added two more blogs. Now I have 5 blogs. And I can tell you it’s like hell to keep churning out posts for everyone! Not to mention I have a few other websites to take care…
If someone were to ask me now, I would recommend that you stick to one first. Focus on it and fill it with good content until the blog matures if you know what i mean. You got a nice clean blog here. Keep it up!
