How do you organize your time when building more sites

[dannyx]

Many GPWA users have one site and only focus their efforts on it. There is also a large group of users who have 2,3,5,10 and more sites.
There have been several topics in the past about who runs how many sites and the results of surveys and posts (on average) can be estimated at 50/50. That is, half have one site and half have many.
Although after analyzing the pages in the accounts of those users who have commented in those few old threads it seems that those who had one page were more successful, of course each side has its own rationale and each way is good. Something that may work for one may not work for another user or market.

However, the topic isn't quite what's better, as it's already been discussed in total, although you can always update the statements for 2025, so I encourage discussion here as well.

The question is for people who run more than one site. How do you find the time and organize your work to make it all work?
Do you just have set days of the week on which you work on one site and another day on the other?

I don't hide the fact that it's tempting to have more sites, but I've been trying to get going for a long time and it seems to be getting harder and harder, and in 2025 having one successful site already seems like a lot. However, when I start a second project I seem to waste time and never get it off the ground, so I'm looking for inspiration.

I'll try and tackle this from an individual/lone worker perspective because that (I think) is the perspective most applicable in this case.

For teams (and/or deep pockets), it's different obviously, though several factors are equally applicable. Funds/people makes it easier, but doesn't guarantee success.

Some preamble first, cos I think it's a valid scene-setter...


****************

We're at a point in the lifecycle of the interaction between websites and search that none of us will have encountered before.

3-5 years ago, with application and hard (likely 18-20 hours educated work a day) an individual could (and several did, one or two are still here) build something that's still paying off.

Before that, in the earlier days, some will have just fallen into fields of gold where no real effort was required (although they had the sense/forethought to be there, so all credit), or they thought of angles that would work and took due advantage, or they found ways to game the 'system' and took advantage.

Needless to say, not much of that is applicable any more. And what's been building for the last 3-5 years - namely that to be competitive enough to make sensible earnings requires serious concerted effort and, in most cases, knowledge - is well and truly here. The evidence suggests it will all just get harder (and that's not even taking into account the sustainable earning capabilities within the gambling affiliate 'world' or realm, landscape etc etc haha)

So, the preamble helps us get to the point - number of running sites.

And, given it's so hard to get anywhere, the logic is that by going multiple (or, indeed, choosing a topic that's too broad), you run a massive risk of spreading yourself too thin.

For that reason, I expect most answers to this will be given differently depending on where the answerer is positioned.

Anyone new in the last few years will likely have two sites at the most, many will have just focused on one. Those that made one work might well have gone somewhere between 2 and 5. Many, as you noted Danny, just stuck with the one, put the required effort in, and made it work.

Those that picked up the loose gold off the floor 10+ years ago probably have teams now so they're a different case. There are one or two individuals I can think of that still generally work alone and are still getting an income. But still, the fact they got entrenched with one site likely has carried them through (most likely with some negative effect from the last couple of years upheavals, but the foundation was/is still there to keep something/enough flowing in).

*********

To the probable point of the question - should you focus on one site or more?

The answer has to be one. Unless you have a team or funds to pay for stuff to get done. And the people you're paying have to be good/know what they're doing (or you have to spend excessive time educating/directing them). Even then, trying to spread that team over multiple sites is likely to give sub-optimal results. Even if the first/main site is already competitive, diverting attention away from it is not the ideal approach.

You have to focus on building websites that are unquestionably 'best in topic' or you have to find an angle where there is lesser competition level where you don't have to be wildly the best.

The angles are tough to find now, and the people with deep pockets are more likely to have got there first anyway (or ruled it out as not worth the effort). Which leaves you with the answer 'work on one site, only consider deviation if you get to the point that it's sustainably competitive' as the only sensible approach. While also recognizing that even concerted effort on one site might not be enough.

The other side of the coin? Multiple sites give more opportunities for hitting a treble twenty?

Most likely that's just not doable. And they won't be good enough. Insanity (or at least heavy burn-out) are potential outcomes.

Just bear in mind that not everyone puts all of their sites in their profile, and this is probably especially true of those with large numbers. And when this is the case, often it's the higher revenue sites that are omitted because they don't want people poking around.

Whereas if you only run one site and you have a site listed in your profile, then it's going to be your main one.

Not saying this is the case for everyone, but just that I wouldn't go solely by what's in peoples profiles.

I would say realistic expectations, flexibility, and good collaborators.

I manage multiple websites but don’t expect them to perform the same. Each one is at a different stage, generates revenue from different sources, and has its own needs. If I tried to dedicate the same time and use the same strategies with all of them, I’d probably end up ruining them. My first site was by far the hardest to build. I made countless mistakes and lost a lot of time (partly due to my stubbornness). Still, that experience allowed me to build the second (and the ones that followed) and gave me a clearer idea of how to invest my time better and find people who can solve fast issues that would have made me struggle.

I wouldn’t feel comfortable focusing on just one site because I find it too risky, but I also know I couldn’t handle more than a few. I think it all came down to your resources and work preferences.

For me the thing that seemed most challenging when starting additional sites was to get the first chunk out. To do that I'd typically had to disconnect from all other sites for about a week or a bit more and get the "main" thing out there.

Once that part was done it usually becomes clearer how to allocate my time. I see how it gets picked up by G and then I act based on that.

However, I've recently started working together with someone who helps me manage all of the websites / do kw research and create conrtent.
