It is extremely difficult to maintain one site, let alone start working on replicating your business model on site number two. I don’t believe anyone that tells me that site creation and maintenance coudl be automated. In my opinion it is better to focus your attention on one site, but give your best shot at it and only do it for a topic you are genuinely interested in and would do even if you don’t make any money from it ( like my site for example )

It is also important not to spread yourself too thin either. Being diversified is great but at the end of the day everything is interlinked in the economy. When there is a recession chances are your advertising revenues are going to decrease, your dividends are going to be cut, your real estate property would be vacant, you might be unemployed etc.. I do place some of my assets in fixed income instruments like long Tresury bonds. I know everyone is concerned about inflation, but at least the incoem stream is stable in nominal terms and is pretty decent.

A very smart article! I wonder how many people get stuck trying to make one website/blog work. I believe everyone that is interested in internet based businesses should give a strong initial effort to their business, taking it to a point that it could run on autopilot, and then duplicate their success with another website. If the first one was an AdSense supported website, perhaps the next one could be a membership website, where you are supported by membership subscription fees.

Obama chia pet. Lol – the things I miss by not living in the US.

I agree with this post although I’m not sure how easy it is to analyse the risk of any one of your various sources of income. I think you just have to diversify the best you can and hope for the best.

Saving a high percentage of your passive income is also a good strategy since then losing some of it won’t matter as much.

Nice post. Having another stream of income is the reason I started blogging. Thanks for the reminder to not quit. It’s about persevering.
Keepup the good writing.

Nice post, and topic i’m very much interested in.

Do people actually click on your Google Adsense? Don’t people know that clicking on “HOT PENNY STOCK” is bad?

I tried Adsense out for 3 months, and was appalled. I don’t want to subject my readers to their ads I can’t verify.

All about negotiating campaigns straight with the source!
