Fat Stacks Blog - a Podcast About Blogging and Email Newsletters

I publish many niche sites, most of which aren't huge earners.  You might wonder why I'd bother adding and investing in more niche sites when I have one that is very successful.  Wouldn't I be better off focusing on one niche site?  Maybe yes. Maybe no.  This episode explains why I think it's a good business decision to spread my resources and time across multiple niche sites.

If you want something done right, do it yourself. Surer words have never been written when it comes to outsourcing content for blogs and niche sites.  The amount of grief I've suffered over wasted time reviewing lousy articles, revision requests, more time reviewing and in worst-case scenarios, having to roll up my sleeves and write it myself after all that.  My blood pressure is spiking as I speak.

Learn how I took a minuscule risk that paid off to the tune of $287,000+ blogging.  It's a no-brainer. 

I've launched way more sites than I currently run. I've launched dozens - probably well over 100 over the years. Many (most) failed. That tells you that despite wasting time and money on failed sites, I've still earned far more than I'd ever make freelancing or doing any other job. The risk was worth it.

Listen as to why I think outreach promotion is futile for many articles and niche sites.  Not always, but often.

80% promotion, 20% content. Sounds good when you're gonna sell a course for 2 large (as in $2K) resulting in a $300 website RPM. Or you sell $50/mo. software. In this case, every visitor counts (financially speaking). But what about the lion's share of us publishers who go after keywords with 200 searches a month and an ad CPC of $1?
