I’ve only got three blogs active…But it surprised me to find that I had 13 Domain names “Saved” up. Time to let go and concentrate on the good ones.

Thanks for the wonderful post.

Random question: how are you getting the dropshadows on your screen captures like above? I’ve seen the feature all over the place recently.

Where are you looking? I personally did not find the blog post had any distractions. The post itself was very clear and followed a logical development. Maybe you could be more specific, or simply take responsibility for your own distractability?

I skipped the spreadsheet part because none of my sites make money. They’re all subsidized by client fees

However, the fact remains that I spend too much time agonizing over some of them. My problem is that it is so easy to set up a blog that most of my sites are based on WordPress. As a result, I feel like I need to add content periodically. I rarely do.

I appreciate this exercise. I am going to consider dumping 90% of these turkeys.

I don’t consider myself to be entirely hamstrung by the criteria that you set forth at the beginning of of the series. However, having recently back-slid into the miasma of opportunism (and then crawled out again), I feel that this exercise will teach me some new habits to protect my new-found focus on two main projects.

Thanks, Michelle!

so true. i spend most of the day thinking about the tasks i haven’t done, the contents that should’ve been added to my other site, etc. in the end i’m spreading myself too thin without accomplishing anything.

Passion is key I think. However, passion without relevance is useless. Being a lone voice in the wilderness is pretty pointless if you’re trying to make money from that particular idea. Trying to convince people to buy into something they don’t want seems like an up-hill battle, no matter how good you are at candy-coating. Passion is contagious but I guess the trick is doing proper research before deciding on how to channel your passion..

@Tim – Whether you should sell the other sites is dependent on how much time they actually require to work with and how much time you have in your day to work on your business.

PR really doesn’t matter, in that PR alone w/o traffic or sales is no reason to hold on to a domain.

PR can be a factor in the bids you get should you decide to sell a site on Flippa – having PR, or a higher PR, is generally more attractive to a potential buyer.
