How many sites or blogs can you manage per day?

Hello guys,

The reason I asked the question is because of this.

I have about $50 dollars available in my paypal account.

I want you guys to advise me with what I'm thinking of doing from for IM which is:

1. Buy a $1 or perhps $20 (max) web host with unlimited domains I can create

2. Set up blogs (since this is the only basic I know besides forums) and write my niche with them. I'm thinking of 6-10 blogs.

3. Sigh up with Google Ad sense PPC campaign.

4. Put the ads on my blogs

5. Hope for the best

The thing is, I'm thinking that obviously there's no quick way to success in IM.
But I think it won't be that hard for me to get a decent traffic per site since it's a new one.
But if I have a lot, say like ten, then it might accumulate up to $100 for the first month at least.
Because $100 is the least amount that I can withdraw from Adsense.
And $50 is the last bucks that I may use once I start this.

Please tell me this might work. Or scold me like hell with words of wisdom for anything I may do better about it.

I only have this $50 for now to start off to know whether IM is for me or not so please.

    Don't forget that if you want to start off 6 - 10 blogs, you'll presumably be needing 6 - 10 domain-names as well. With a total of $50 to play with, you might want to think about using .info domain-names at $2.99 each, to keep the cost down? You might even find them somewhere for less than that? I don't know: that's just the Namecheap price.

    (".info" is a top-level domain extension. They rank exactly the same as a .com/.net/.org etc., if that's relevant to you.)

    I think you're very wise not to be talking about starting off at Blogger/Squidoo/HubPages, but with your own hosting.

    If you need to start off with temporary, free hosting, you might want to look at hosts like Byethost.com, 000WebHost.com or Freehostia.com. Alternatively, hostica.com has hosting for $1 per month, but that's just for one site.

    I can't comment on the rest of your plan at all, other than wishing you good luck. I've never used AdSense.

      Thanks for the reply!

      You've never used Ad Sense for real? You mean you really get all your income from clickbank? Whoa, I plan to start my adventure from commission sales if I ever I survive PPC ^_^.

      About what you mentioned

      "domain-names at $2.99 each"

      Uhm... Do we really pay per domain name? Because I thought it's a 1 time payment for unlimited number of domain names or web sites if not a lot. I'm looking at website palace right now and they have this Premium 12.75 per month for 999-page website.

      Can anyone confirm please? I got scared by that $2.99 per domain

        That's for hosting them.

        You register domain-names with a domain-registrar like Namecheap (where .info domain-names are $2.99 for the first year). Then you host them with a hosting service like the 6 or 7 examples I mentioned above (that can be free or paid - as with most things, paid is better. But the $7/$8 per month you typically pay for hosting will cover all your websites, not that amount for each.). Don't register them and host them in the same place (that's a really important "mistake to avoid", when you start! Registrars do often sell hosting services too, and hosting services often sell registration-services as well, so it's easily done "by the inexperienced", but it's a bad mistake to make).

        Sorry to scare you!

        Most/many domain-names are actually about $10 per year each. That's why I was suggesting you use .info ones, because they're so much lower-priced (but they rank just as well).

          I got it now. It's that mistake that you mentioned that I've read a lot as well. That's why I thought of using my money at paypal because I believe that's enough for me to start decently and right. Then afterwards, if IM's for me then it's for me. And not if it's not. At least I won't have regrets that I didn't try. Thank you again Alexa! I guess I'm gonna start researching again about the difference of hosting from domain names. ^_^

              Thanks, fin!

              To the OP:

              If you're seriously planning to get started with $50 or less, I wouldn't expect much in terms of results. There's a learning curve that comes with anything and that's especially true with building sites that earn $$ or making money online in general. You should plan to LOSE money at first...the amount depending on how steep of a learning curve you're ok swallowing.

              Once you get the hang of it, I think it's reasonable to compare your starting cash to a (profitable) poker player's bankroll. Starting with a bankroll of $50 is going to keep you at the dime tables and away from making any money that would be considered worthwhile outside of the poorest 3rd world countries.

              Sure, you might luck out and get a nice $50-$100/month affiliate site on your first go-round...but it's not likely and I wouldn't plan on that if I were you. Building a business online isn't SO much different from building a business online...it just opens up different marketing channels, IMO.

    Maybe make one blog successful before you try doing 6-10. It will make your life MUCH easier.

    Hosting and domain names are different.

    You can host unlimited domains, but you need to buy them yourself.

    Why pay someone to do that when you can do it yourself easily, just go to 000webhost and create a free account and build a wordpress blog and add your adsense.

    You can make a new blog everyday on 000webhost.

    Failing that PM me and we can work something out.

      Really? Thanks, I think I will. It's just that I have a small amount of money to start out, and I'm really inspired with all the warriors here that I just don't want to hold myself back from using this one shot that I got with $50. Still thanks so much!

    Now I understand why you advise me to just start off with one domain or website befire branching out. Aww this $cks a bit for me. I thought I researched enough already for me to start out.

    Thanks fin!

    And one last thing guys, which should I go for first? Webhost or domain name? None with what I'm reading right now tells it about it. For all I know it's my website.

    Just do Namecheap for domain name, and Host Gator for hosting if you want to be the same as most IM'ers.

    You also get one free domain name with your hosting anyway, but I'd seriously consider putting 100% of your time into one site until you make money, then repeat.

    Don't spend 10% of your time on 10 sites and make the same mistake with them all at the same time.

    It's difficult to juggle more than a few domains if you're just getting started out.

    I would get one domain, learn how to write really well, and build upon that at first.

    Otherwise, you'll have 10 domains with lame content that nobody reads.

      Ha ha perhaps you're right. Whew! I'm so glad I got you here guys. It's my initial plan since I know a website can only get a few clicks when it starts. Thanks really. I think I'll start out with one website and see how it goes before I make a new one.

    Really!? If I may ask what type of sites are they and since when did you start? XD I'm really excited to know!

    It depends what type of sits they are and how much time you have to spare. Some sites are more static in nature while others require frequent updating. Lot of people do internet marketing part time while others are at it full time. Generally speaking, you can manage 10s of sites pretty well and a handful of sites much better. I think its better to focus on making a handful of sites really good rather than lot of average sites which may not withstand the test of time.
