Second site pressure | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

I'm planning on launching a second site next week (actually, some of you may have caught an accidental sneak preview last weekened). This time around, I feel enormous pressure to not have the site suck. When I started Daily Money Shot, I just started writing. I didn't care about anything else like layout or logo or themes…I just hit publish. Now, for this one, I feel like I can't unleash it on the world unless it's "ready" (or ready enough). I have no idea why I'm putting this pressure on myself.

Has anyone else experienced this when starting another site?

In starting my second site i felt less pressure because I knew more of what I was doing, and felt like I knew I could succeed launching another site.  I actually put less pressure on myself as well as far as writing posts every day/etc and it made it much more enjoyable. :)

Don't get stressed out. In fact you will realize that your second site will definitely be awesome because you may not make the same mistakes as you did with the first one. 

Anyway, the more important thing is, you write really well and that's more important than any logo or theme.

I have felt this pressure!  It's part of the reason why I said I wouldnt start any more blogs from scratch…rather I want to buy existing ones.  I spent a decent amount of money on the logo for Money Is The Root, and setting it up took me awhile.  Now I kinda want to just start getting content up and not worry about other stuff.

Its natural, time is limited. And you have one brain and two hands 

Thanks, everyone! I'm glad I'm not alone with the stressful feelings but I do agree that I need to just go ahead and launch it without worrying about it looking perfect. I did the logo myself so I'm not out any money but for some reason, I'm really nervous this time around. It's almost like a test as to whether or not I learned anything with DMS.

In any event, it's going live on the 29th, perfect or not. 

Your site is awesome. And I not only got a sneak peak, I gave a sneak peak to others. The kids I sent it to- your target audience, all thought it was pretty cool.

Exciting to see the new site, Jana..

You have nothing to worry about.

I can tell from the way that you write on MoneyShot that the words just flow out of you..

I look forward to reading your thoughts on a new topic. :-)

I'm feeling this pressure with naming my business, and sometimes I feel like I'm being ridiculous, even though it's an important decision to me. I think one important thing is to just get started, and get it out there, and respond to feedback. You can't build the perfect thing up front, but you can evolve your site as you go along. It will be a lot easier to do that, too, since you will have a wall of feedback to bounce off of.
