Content, or building?
by Sapphire (March 9, 2008)
I believe the longterm solution to my making a full time living online is to produce tons of great content that people want to link to. I believe from there I can launch sites that will sell them stuff.
But as I mentioned last night, in the meantime my earnings are dropping, which makes me want to work on building my affiliate sites and monetization strategies.
Here’s the problem: there are only 24 hours in the day. Most of mine lately have been taken up with several personal crises - all of which turns out just fine, fortunately, but not until they’d sucked days out of my recent weeks. Even without crises, producing 10-20 quality posts on several different blogs every single day? That’s a tough schedule to keep up with. And I can only pay writers out of the money I’m making, which is falling every month.
What to do, what to do? Do I just bury my head and work on content, figuring I’ll monetize later after I’ve got 600k visitors a month? What if that takes 10 years? Do I work on monetizing and just hope the content I’ve already got gets linked from some giant site that sends 100k hits in a day? Do I strike some compromise, and if so, what?
