How many websites do you have? Do you ever feel overloaded? I have several now and I always feel overloaded. Let’s talk this issue and what is takes to manage multiple sites.
What Makes YOU Feel Overloaded?
I don’t think this is a question that anyone can answer the same way. Everyone has their own life, knowing your life (and not ignoring it) will help you control it. Here’s a little about my life.
I have several factors in my life right now that are making it more difficult than normal to keep up on my websites. I a wife, a daughter, and another daughter due to the 28th of this month. My family, of course, is much more important to me than my websites. We are also preparing to move from Califonia to Wisconsin, this will happen in the next two months. We will also be dropping to a single income family and I am changing jobs. I now have several websites that I really want to keep, but I am having trouble running them all.
My wife and I know our life and we know what we want it to be like. My wife and I have talked and we are making some major changes. Moving to Wisconsin will put us closer to family, so we will get some help. My wife will now be pulling her income from our ecommerce site, LeotardCrazy.com. We have decided to take a huge step. We are not going to let the websites overload us, we are going to make them a part of our life. We are looking for the extra family time that an internet income can provide.
The Advantage of Youth
You will notice that many internet entrepreneus (very successful ones) are very young, between the ages of 16-24 (sometimes younger). Many kids are turning the “business of the web” into a video game. They are spending less time on gaming systems and more time on building real websites. This experience guides them straight to success.
Some say the young have a serious advantage on the net. Maybe, and I wish I would have started off a little earlier than I did. However, I have a family and that is my “American Dream”. Anyone can build a website overnight, some people will never build a family. I am lucky.
Don’t neglect to start a website because you think it’s too late. If a 20 year old can build a revenue earning site in 6 months, so can a 45 year old. You just have to budget your time a little better as you age.
Budgeting Your Time Wisely
As I look at the clock, I realize that I must budget my time. Tune in tommorrow for Part 2 of this story.
