I like this idea. You've convinced me to give fiverr a shot. Made my first two orders today. We'll see how it turns out. :) I imagine I will have to do some tweaking, but you can't beat $5.

Buying abandoned blogs is a good strategy but from what I see, what you pay for the blog, you could just take 6 months to build a new one.

 

And if you start a new website every month (as I have the habit of doing Smile) in a year you will have 12 web properties with varying authority.

 

To be honest, after the first one, building a new site is a piece of cake. I put up a new one last night in about an hr. Then you can outsource most of the backlinking, content and directory submissions to Fiverr. Total cost to start a new site with about 20 posts is around 30 bucks plus around 2 hours after adding to an existing hosting package. give it around 6 months to age and start attracting natural links and traffic and you've got a new domain for hosting advertising.

Fiverr is my go to partner lol

 

I've used it for so many projects that I don't have time for. As far as content goes, it is good for niche sites and you just have to tweak the wording because I think it's mostly bots. But I will always stick with humans for my main sites.

I've tried contacting the owners of abandoned blogs a few times to buy their sites but have never gotten a response. I'll still try this strategy if I stumble across an abandoned blog I think has value but it isn't a strategy I actively pursue.

Excuse me for lame thinking, but, don't you aspire to make your one blog a million dollar blog in few years rather than building 5 blogs of few thousands each?

Assuming you can't put that much dedication to one blog if you have many to make it a million dollar blog. Well, I am keeping the super men and women out who don't need sleep.

I think it's the same as focusing your energy on learning the ups and downs of one stock or learning to diversify.

 

I already know I want more than one site, in order to diversify and because I'm easily bored.

So with that being known, I tried to figure out if building one at a time or building sites side by side would be better. It seems like with the 'aging' necessary for the site, building them side by side seems to be the clear winner.

 

I'm not sure if you were directing the question at me but I'll answer it.

My goal is to make FSYA a million dollar blog with several other sites that don't require much work as couple hundred a month sites. I'd like to stick with my main blog as the writer but I would outsource for the others.

Even since the million dollar post on blog selling, is that the new goal?  Haha, it seems like a good, round number.

 

What's the average number of sites in everyone's portfolio?

I have two blogs, but I am always on the hunt for inactive blogs to purchase more of them…I would purchase active ones as well, but I tend to only openly make offers on ones that arent really being utilized.  I am in negotiations on buying a couple others right now, but we'll see how it works out.

 

As LaTisha says, it is easy to start a new one…but I can pay a few hundred bucks for a blog with some aged content, and I can make the money back on it the first month, and a new blog is going to take some time to monetize…so really I think buying a blog at a discount is the way to go.

Maybe it is because I am new to this site as well as to blogging in general but i tend to agree with you.  To me it would make more sense to focus on one site, build it up and make sure you focus on that site.  If opportunity arises and you are able after a while to open a couple more I can see that being manageable with what you have learned from your first site, but in my mind it would be more profitable to ensure the success of one site.

Right now I have 6 sites at varying levels of success. First two I started have PR and traffic, the rest are still in infancy. The biggest challenge is creating content. Starting several blogs is pretty tough so I focus on one blog and the others will be updated maybe once a month.
From what I understand PersonalfinanceWhiz has several sites. And there are a few other Yakezie members that I've talked to that have several as well.
I say if you can find a profitable niche that hasn't been done a million times, go for it.
