About two weeks ago, I was inspired by the sucess from my first blog to create another one. I planned on focusing this new blog on sports, but wow two blogs, school, and work(in the summer) seems like a handful. I'm aware that niche sites don't take up that much time besides creating them. Should I create this site into a niche site?? The name is CouchJocks, so I could easily create it into a niche site for couch buying/choosing or I could stick with the whole sports related topic. What do you guys think?

I had a similar idea and bought the rights to another name, but I have yet to do anything with it because of the time require for LifeAndMyFinances. Since your life most likely won't slow down, I would suggest creating a niche site. If you want to develop it into a sports site, perhaps your niche should be directed toward that theme right away. Otherwise, you are sort of stuck later on.

Agreed on the niche site. The key though is to update that site and to build links and promote it as well. It'll take lots of care up front and less later on.

I would have to say niche as well.
The Financial Blogger has some good examples of a niche site. I think there was one about bamboo that he mentioned before but I can't remember the link. Also I think Sunil does niche sites as well.
They're basically content filled static webpages that are not updated like a blog. They serve a particular niche and from what I understand, the more well defined and desired the niche, the better. The purpose is to get search engine traffic and convert clicks.
I'm planning on working on one, once I have the time…

Yeah, head over to Sunil's site. He seems to be a pro at this and he has a great free ebook for you to read as well: http://easyextramoneyonline.com/blog/

Your site is a niche site. A niche is just a specific topic that you focus on. I would check out ProBlogger for more on reasons to target a niche.

I think niche sites can be good and bad. If you're creating a legit site with good content, I think a niche site is a perfectly good idea. However, if you're creating a crappy site with crappy content, there's really no value to that. With Google's latest update, these crappy sites are being weeded out and dropped in ranking.
For the best info on niche sites I've seen anywhere, check out Pat Flynn's Niche Site Duel: http://www.smartpassiveincome……esiteduel/
There an example niche site that he created on there, too, and he's currently generating about $400-500/month with Google Adsense while doing virtually no more work on it.

Creating a site is easy, it's the updating and promotions that take up all the time.

Hey new best friend!  I see it exactly the opposite–it's the creating the site that takes so much time/resources.
