I started turning one of my affiliate sites to profit (linked with my name) the day I posted that. I'm happy to say after MUCH feet dragging today it finally hit a profit. The sad news is I could have done it much faster if I would have just gotten off my butt and made it happen. Oh, and the fist sale came in less than 12 hours after the first email with an aff link was added to the autoresponder series :-) Thanks again for the motivation!! John Hi Lynn,

I *love* my idea journal. Not only does it keep me on track and focused, it keeps me from forgetting all of my great ideas. And like you, I often find the idea doesn't always sit right after it's had time to age a bit, so it's a great incubator! You too, huh? I *love* my idea journal.

So many of us are idea people which isn't a bad thing until our ideas start to overwhelm the whole part of making money with our ideas LOL! I have an idea book and write all my ideas into them as I come up with them. I only allow myself 5 main idea projects at one time to take them from start to finish. When a slot opens up for a new idea, I check out my idea book (at which time some of my great ideas may not be as great as first thought HA!) and choose a new idea to take from start to finish. This way works for me and doesn't get me into an overwhelming state ;) Great post Lynn and thanks for writing it!

As your building one, you come up with another idea, or you learn something new that you want to implement in a new site. Its almost like a tattoo...you cant just stop at one. Thanks for the post.

I've been in that phase for a very long time I can't even imagine. It's really very easy to get sidetracked with building project after project especially when you are a member of a couple of PLR sites where you get lots of "businesses-in-a-box" that you can set up. Focus is really the key. I can pretty much relate to that one. I’ve been in that phase for a very long time I can’t even imagine.

Oddly enough, I'm actually just considering getting a few more niche sites up and running. I have two sites that are creating income ... but I think I can optimize that income and boost it if I "feed" those sites with traffic from corresponding niches. Because I don't do things half-way, I just bought about five domain names this weekend. Obviously, there's a good reason I read your article today ... one at a time!!!

List them out, prioritize them in order of passion/profit potential, and choose one to start with - then take it all the way to profit. :D You can leave them up, point a couple of links to each, and let them begin aging while you work on one at a time.

I am waaaayyyy off base! ;) I have so many domain names lying around that I installed wordpress on them and posted a few blog posts. Now I have too many sites and I can't keep up with them all. This is such good advice. And the other thing I like about this site is that you don't just "spout" good advice - you back it up with action and example in your forum. Thanks for that! I appreciate all you do, Lynn! Oh my.

I have put all my projects but one on hold and it didn't hurt a bit. In fact it's a relief not to be chasing a dozen different things at one time. I have promised myself to stay focused until I see a profit. Thanks so much for your words of wisdom. Thanks Lynn, Your advice is always priceless.

Seriously, google analytics is the coolest tool I've ever used. I could spend hours looking at it - and this, ultimately, makes me more successful. In addition, one website that is constantly updated is so much more powerful than 4 websites that are updated once and a while. If you want to attract people to your site, and show a search engine you are the most relevant to your topic, then you need to be constantly improving your site. Improvements can be as little as changing a few keywords or as big as doing some AB testing with your homepage - but you have to do them. And if you are trying to do that with four websites, successfully? Well.. good luck :) I may be a bit of a geek – but to me maintaining and improving the site is the best part of owning a website.

You'll achieve a lot more, and a lot faster, if you put all your focus into ONE and then work strategically from there. The rest of your sites will go up much faster & easier after you get that experience under your belt because you can just follow the steps you've learned. ;) Smart move!

With your new sites you can start on getting backlinks from the same sites (most often no ne recognizes that as you apply for a link with a different personality/url combination). It is not only about the backlinks, but also about real traffic, e.g. someone goes to a directory site and clicks on the link to your main site, returns to the directory and then clicks on the link to your second site.

I have found myself working on 4 to 5 websites right now and feeling totally overwhelmed as I try to do this in the evenings from 6 to midnight. There just isn't enough time! After reading your post, I have decided to put all but one of my sites on the backburner and focus on the one right now, until I get it going strong. This post reminded me of what a friend use to tell me, "you can do ok at a lot of things, or you can do great at a few." This is so true in my case. I have been spread thin and I am not getting the results I had hoped for yet. Problem being, to many irons in the fire. So I am going to take this great wisdom here and apply it to my work. My focus is now on one site until I get it to it's potential. Thank you so much for getting me back on track! Hey Lynn,
