Gah, No More Sites!
posted in Ramblings |Okay. No more new sites. Seriously.
I managed to pretty much immediately break my no-new-sites-focus-on-what-I’ve-got-in-the-hopper vow and launched a new house flipping site (still very raw, so pardon the mess), as our offer was just accepted on an investment property, which I’ll hopefully be rehabbing and turning around for a profit in a pretty short time span. I’d planned on keeping a log of my efforts in that arena, largely for myself as a tool to track expenses, personal labor invested, etc., but my scheming mind realized “Hmm, why not just do it as a public blog and incorporate ads and what-not, as surely people are searching on such things, with Adsense advertisers in place.”
I’ve been really happy with the NASCAR news site so far, both in early Adsense results and in its general rounding into shape. Not so happy with myself as far as letting some projects linger on instead of just finishing them and being done, but such is life sometimes in the affiliate world. Well, no, I need to be better about setting hard deadlines, and sticking to them, instead of falling back on the mantra that as long as I’m working on content of some sort, for some site, it’s all good.
It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but I end up shorting myself on at least some psychological happiness of wrapping up a project, stamping it done, and moving on. I’ve gotten pretty used to the notion of keeping many juggling balls in the air simultaneously, but there’s no law writ in stone that says I must work that way, especially when I find myself muttering “Man, it’d be nice to finish something up, instead of always feeling as if I’m slacking off in this area, or that area.”
