General stuff about me…there won’t be much in here…

I Have Too Many Websites, What Do I Do?

Here is my dilemma, I have about 100 active websites. Most are small niche websites, about 85 of them have full sites, the other 15 or so are just domains right now.

13 of them are blogs.

1 is a forum.

71 are static html/php.

So what do I do? I can’t regularly update 13 blogs and could never update 71 static html sites with any kind of regularity. Here are how I see my options and the pros and cons of each choice:

1. Sell most of the sites and refocus on a small group of 2-5.

Pros: If I sell the sites, I won’t stress about trying to update them all of the time. I know if I try to update them all, I’ll fail. Selling would get that monkey off my back. With 2-5 sites, I could definitely write 2-4 posts for each site, every day.

Cons: Some of the sites are valuable as they stand, but most of them are just great targeted domains with huge potential in the future. Most of the domains are 2 years old max, some are really young. Selling now would negate all the time and energy I’ve put in so far.

2. Never update them.

Pros: I’m already doing this. No extra work. I could start this option immediately.

Cons: Won’t make me feel any better about letting the sites stagnate. I’ll still feel inclined to update them semi-regularly (monthly) which won’t help with anything, but makes me feel slightly better.

3. Hire 20 writers to write for all of the sites.

Pros: Sites will be updated.

Cons: Huge initial cost (investment) that I don’t know if I can justify. If I only pay to update 50 of the sites regularly (1 post per day) cost will become prohibitive. 50 sites X $5 per article X 30 days/month = $7500 per month! Not to mention all of the administrative work involved with running such a huge network. Also, paying $5 per article I’ll have a lot of turnover, if I pay more per post it will definitely get too expensive. I don’t know how much income I’ll be able to generate per site, and in the beginning I definitely won’t be breaking even. Most networks with 50 sites have at least a few people on the payroll included graphic designers and coders. I don’t know if I could handle it all.

What else can I do? I need either some votes for my current ideas, or some ideas I haven’t thought of. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

March 2007 Namecheap Coupon

March 2007 Coupon code for Namecheap.com. This coupon code is valid for transfers and new domains (.com’s). The coupon code for February (feblove) isn’t working any longer.

There has also been some speculation that if you are registering or renewing a lot of domains, NameCheap will give you a special code to use. Contact their customer service and see if it’s true for you (support@namecheap.com)

This coupon doesn’t however work for renewals, so if you know a coupon code for NameCheap that works for renewals I’d love to know it, I need to renew about 20 domains this month!

Looking for a CSS/(x)HTML Developer

Are you a CSS and HTML (or XHTML) Developer? Do you do freelance work?

I’m looking for a developer that can take an Adobe Photoshop image (.PSD) and convert it to CSS and XHTML. I’m very flexible and not a slave driver. I just want someone who is reliable that does good work. I wouldn’t even mind if you can only do work once a month, that is better than nothing.

I’d be even more interested if you can create WordPress themes from a .PSD as well.

This person will be able to do the following:

  1. About 1-2 projects per month
  2. Cost effective for me. I’m expecting to pay about $50 per project (usually 1-2 pages).
  3. Able to work with 1 week turnaround.
  4. Can make the CSS and XHTML (HTML) look exactly as the PSD does, without me having to email you and tell you what parts don’t look right.
  5. Ideally this person will have a Gmail account and I can just message you when I need some work done and you can work on it at your leisure.
  6. Payment through Paypal.

That’s about it. Do you fit these qualifications? Send me an email and let me know. Email me at brandonchopkins@gmail.com

Of course this isn’t an offer for a position, I’m just seeing if anyone is interested. This also is a freelance position. I’m not your boss and you won’t be getting a W-2.
