Is it safe if I start working on 4 to 5 niches simultaneously?

Depends on your niches, how competetive they are, how much skill you have... People work in many niches at once but ONLY when their systems are refined enough to allow them to do so.

Edit: Don't pick a niche based on books available on click bank... There are many niches out there which don't have ebooks and are still heavily profitable.

Doing too many, things at once reduces the greatness,,,,of doing only one thing and finishing it. Focus on one niche, accomplish goal...Then, move unto next project/niche...

The best approach is the approach that works for you

If you can handle tackling that many niches simultaneously, there's no one to stop you from doing so

But if you feel you might get overwhelmed, get less done, or find yourself less motivated, then it might be just too many to tackle at once.

It depends on you.

I have tackled about 3 niches at once and it is hard work. I would say it is easier and more productive to put 100% of your efforts into 1 than try the others unless of course they are related in some way.

If you work with more niches, you'll not have full time for each one so the quality could decrease. However if you are doing great you might could get out more money of it. You need to try it out to know how would it work for you.

Question - are the niches complimentary? If so, put all of your products on one site, and cross promote them.

You're much better off building out ONE SITE, developing your skillsets, refining the process, and building systems (essentially doing one thing well, rather than doing lots of things terribly). Which, if you're relatively new at this - you will.

Use the offline principle.

Would someone open a hairdressers, then the following week a DVD store, then 2 days later a florist, then a bakery?

What are you working on for that one niche that you are focusing right now? Did you expand it as much as possible?

I think it will be better to focus on one niche at a time and get whatever you are doing to its maximum potential before moving into another niche. Entering into 4-5 niches simultaneously and becoming successful in them is not something that everyone can do. In fact, I don't think such a person exists.

To be honest, I suggest that you do one at a time, because if you are working on multiple niches you might lose focus. So, just do one at a time, finish it and move on.

I'm in 3 niches and I spent time learning each of them separately until I felt comfortable to the point where I could work on all of them at the same time.

If you focus on just one website and spend every minute of
your working time making it a brand that won't need only search
engines or any one form of traffic to succeed, you will be
amazed at how much you will achieve in a year or more, from
now.

I think it's totally up to you. You could expand one niche and try to dominate it or split effords on different topics. In the end it all comes together in profit. Try it and leave the niche if it isn't profitable.

This is a hard question to answer because all of us do not know about your work ethic. Do you set goals? Meet those goals? Fall short of those goals? Do you work a few hours each day or one day a week?

The best thing to do is to find what works for you. Do as many as you can handle. Keep in mind that you can outsource your articles by using a source like textbroker or picking up some PLR, fiverr and even here on WF. (etc)

You can create your own products or find one in clickbank or ask other people her in the WF if they have products that fit in. There are so many ways to do it. It all depends on what you are happy with. Do as many as you can keep up with. You can always sell them later or drop out if they don't work.

That would be up to you. Do you feel that you can handle it? And make each niche the best that it can be? If yes then go for it. If you do not feel that you can handle it, then stick to only one or two. If a few of your niches suffer because you are too busy with the others then it would not really be worth it.

Get your first one working properly first then start on others, broaden your horizons past Clickbank too. There's a while big wide world of affiliate marketing out there and CB is somewhere down near the bottom IMO.

You can enter 100 at once if you like... it all comes down to your system

If you are outsourcing the content (which I would recommend) then there is nothing stopping you from jumping into multiple niches at once.

Never pick a niche based on what products are available, find the traffic (un competitive niches) and then match them with products. Rather than finding the products and matching them with traffic.

I am putting together a detailed guide with my process at the moment, you can see the first part in my signature.

if you want to o it you should outsource the tasks, because it will take you a lot of time and effort to maintain 4 or 5 niches.

That says it all really (great quote!).

You'll burn yourself out and give up too soon if you overwhelm yourself with too many niches. If you already have a proven system that's working in one niche, it's pretty easy to replicate it quickly in others, so unless you have a tested funnel and backend system that's already working for you I'd advise sticking to one niche and refining your results there. It'll be easy to replicate in other niches once you've worked out what business models and systems work for you.

It depends on your traffic generation strategy. If you're going only SEO (not a good idea), it takes time to rank new sites so you can set foundations for a few niches at one time waiting to rank ... as long as you outsource some of your SEO saving you time for content generation.

However, if you're building a more diversified online business with email marketing and attracting traffic from multiple sources, starting with one to two is best until they're up and running and generating profits.

For every successful niche I'm in, I started it with at most one other niche. I'm only in 6 niches currently and focus on them ... there is some cross promotion opportunity.

I've tried launching more than 2 niches at the same time and it didn't work very well. Getting to profitability takes a bit of time (with my model) unless you really hit the jackpot with paid advertising early on and/or article syndication or some viral campaign.

I've tried to work on multiple niches at once and it is a LOT of work! After trying it myself I wouldn't recommend that you do it unless you have a ton of time, and even then I wouldn't do more then 2 or 3.

When you start trying to do too many things you just end up spreading yourself too thin. I find it a lot more efficient to focus on one thing until I am successful with it and only have to maintain it periodically. Then I move onto the next project.

I learned this the hard way after failing with so many multitasked projects!

I think it's better to focus on just one niche first then when you mater it to move to the next one.

It's very difficult to work on multiple projects at once. If you want to work in a few niches then you should probably stick with 2. Definitely not 4 or 5 at the same time.

I personally would pick one niche until you see start earning sales. Then choose whether or not you want to pick another niche or keep expanding on your current one.

Staying focused on one topic at a time will generate better results then doing multiple things at once. This goes for traffic generation, creating products, how many niches your in etc etc.

Hello,
as my mentor would want to say ' don't cut your self too thin'
If you're an expert then please by all means do s many niches as you like, if not I would advice not to.
This is because if you are too diverse you won't be able to generate the best possible results

For me personally, I will start off with one niche market at a time. This is more practical because when you are able to have one profitable business in one market, you will be able to simply clone the whole system in another market. Staying focus is the key to getting results.

I'm juggling a lot of different things but I am doing this full time now and work a lot of hours. As others have mentioned there are a lot of different variables to determine if you can achieve results by working on 4 or 5 niches simultaneously.

These include how much time you have

I'm assuming when you say 4 or 5 niches you mean 4 or 5 niche sites not multiple sites in 4 or 5 niches?!!

Your depth of knowledge - for instance it took me a month to set up first my ugly little website, I can now make something a whole lot better in a few hours.

How big are you planning on making these sites? You could easily set up 4-5 sites if they were small highly targeted niche sites of around 15-20 pages at a rate of 2 new pieces of content a week.

Lots of variables but yes it's doable

I work on several niches at the same time. There's no point creating one site and then sitting around twiddling your thumbs.

From experience I'd recommend focusing on the one niche (especially if competitive) IF it's your first time trying to rank/convert for it. Once you have some experience it should become more of a smooth process for you and you'll have the ability to work on multiple niches.

Best of luck.

I'm glad you asked these questions because this is where a lot of marketers get it wrong. It's not about how many niches, it's about your business plan. Does your business plan and marketing plan call for getting into that many niches?

In other words, who do you plan on targeting? What problems do you plan on solving? And how many products / services will it take to acheive a high value offering that maximizes your profits?

You see, you could go into one market and then branch out to 3, 5, or even more sub-niches within that market. You can dive into one niche and go really deep and offering dozens or even hundreds of products (if it's that type of market) and tons of content, IF that's what your business plan outlines.

How are you going to obtain traffic?

How are you going to track that traffic?

How are you going to increase conversions?

These are the questions you should be asking before even thinking about how many niches you should get into. It's the difference between starting a one or a few money-makers and a real business that you can eventually sell or will or trust off.

For most beginners, I recommend getting into one market, preferably one that has plenty of product and service offerings. The reasons for this are too many to list, but think about it, if a market has a ton of product / service offerings there's a reason for it.

You can monetize your business(es) a lot of different ways, again too many list here (affiliate commissions, Adsense or Adsense-like programs, CPA offers, selling advertising, your own product / service offerings, licensing, etc.).

One niche. How can you expect to conquer 5 niches without getting one right first?

Put all your focus into making one work -- only then move on. It will get you much faster results.

Yep, one at a time, become a master of one thing, then once you are at full speed with one niche, you can consider another. Plus its much easier running into a new niche once your already good at one.

One at a time dude, Jesus, I can't stress that enough. No better way to completely shoot yourself in the foot then to try multiple things at once, many people have had to learn this the hard way -- heed the warning.

I think one thing we can all agree on is that it is crucial that you don't take on so much that you get yourself burnt out. You may be able to turn out 100 sites easily, but successfully monetizing all 100 sites is a whole nother story.

Here are a few questions I would ask myself if I were you:

1 - is my current niche making me money?
2 - do I make enough money in my current niche that I can outsource tasks so that I can expand on my new niche without losing the momentum in the niche that I currently have?
3 - how will I keep traffic coming to my current niche while I am focusing on my next niche?
4 - do I have the processes in my current niche nailed down so that I can simply 'lather, rinse, repeat' my current tasks and keep it running smoothly?
5 - do the other niches I want to start on compliment the niche I am already in?

In my opinion, if you are going to be successful in another niche, you need to first be sure that you are maximizing the niche that you are currently in. You also want to be sure that you can keep your current niche running and growing without having to pull money from your household funds to supplement what you are doing online.

In other words the money that you make online should be the only thing that you need to grow online. Does that make sense?

I know marketers who are able to turn out products and make profits at lightening speed. They can handle throwing up multiple sites at one time because they know the processes that they need to go through to make each niche successful. They also have their outsourcing team built up so they know who to call to get their tasks done quickly and they have their business funds built to a point where they can do these things with business funds instead of personal funds.

But for every one of these marketers there are at least four others who get themselves in over their heads way to quickly and wind up being burnt out and feeling like this online thing is a huge waste of time.

Building complimentary niches would be an easy way to keep your customer base steadily growing. For instance, if I am heavily into dieting and I love your dieting site I will be more likely to follow your exercise site as well. Then you have an instant customer in your new exercise niche as opposed to starting from scratch.

So in my opinion the best way to figure out what you can handle is to first really evaluate where you are now. Maybe you are in a place where you can get into more niches at one time, but that is something that only you will know for sure.

Good Luck

The question is how many niches at a time can you properly handle? If you can handle 4-5 niches by yourself (which I doubt) then why not, but however many niches you eventually go for - put the quality first: unique informative content, frequent updates, adequate seo etc.

It really depends on you. I, for example, currently handle 3 niches. But, I did not set them up at the same time. They were put together one at a time and once I got a site to where it could be maintained and updated in an hour or two per day, then I moved on to the next niche.
