Hi Ronkel,

Yes, I have thoughts. 🙂

First of all, I’m guessing David has 2200 domains, not websites. I don’t recall the details of this interview, but I’d guess that’s what he meant.

For instance, I know Bob has hundreds of domains, but most of them are redirects that he uses to promote his favorite affiliate programs.

If you were my best friend in the world, I’d say to start with one site and take it to profit (as Lynn Terry says) and then expand. I feel that it’s much more profitable to start with one niche and “play” and learn before expanding too much. If you go wide first, unless you’ve got vast resources, you’ll dilute your efforts and get overwhelmed.

In all honesty, I went too wide too fast. I wish I’d stuck with the handful of niche sites that were making me money before branching off from there, but going wide was what we were taught a few years ago. I’ve since then sold or given away several of my sites. The focus that I’ve gotten from letting go of the chaos has multiplied my profits.

Of course, if you pick a niche, build a site, and get traffic and can’t convert that into money — it means you may not have researched your niche enough initially and may need to move on. Not all of my sites have been as profitable as others.

I hope that helps!
Nicole

PS. If you haven’t listened to the Jeff Herring Interview yet – he talks about wide vs. deep in it. 🙂 Hope you like it.

Hi Nicole,
I am new to your site and love it! Learning so much. I have started with the podcast, about half way through now. I have been hearing for a long time now about focusing on one niche/website.
Listening to just half of the podcast on your site, I think every one has mentioned or talked in depth about how you need to focus on one.
Last night I was seriously contemplating which one of 104 sites that I have I was going to run with.
This morning I am listening to Bob the teacher’s interview with David Perdew, who said he has 2200 websites!!!! WHAT!!!!
Help. Any thoughts??

Got my room booked. They booked it from the 27th to the 2nd though…. and I left it that way for now because on the NAMS link to the hotel site it says the conf is from the 27th till the 2nd…

Let me know if you know anything about that. 🙂

I am sooooo excited!

In reply to Nicole. I'm honestly thinking I'll go. Just trying now to work out logistics with the kiddos and the husband.

Woo hoo! 🙂

I wouldn’t wait too long. All the fun happens at the hotel, and last time all of the rooms were booked.

Do you need a roomie? We might be able to find you one.

I am really interested in going. What is the best day to check into the hotel and the best day to check out so that I don’t miss anything?

I’ll be driving as I live only 4 hrs from Atlanta.

Hi Stephanie,

I’ll be checking in Thursday afternoon – hopefully around 2-ish. And, I plan to check out Monday around noon or so.

If you don’t want to miss anything, that’s the schedule that I’d recommend. 🙂

Hope to see you there!
Nicole
