Ideas are king and time is lacking

Have you ever been in the situation where you have more ideas than you know what to do with? I’m sure most of you have. Currently I can’t quit thinking of other blog/website ideas that would be good to start working on. The problem is – I spread myself too thin when I start working on another idea. I always thing, “well, I’ll just reserve the domain name now and get to it later.” Later typically never comes – but for some sites it does come!
The last month I’ve taken a hard, long look at the sites I have out there that are currently just ‘ideas’. It’s time to make something happen with this sites or get rid of the idea completely. I’ve taken on partners for many of these sites to help me get them rolling. Typically I like to do a 50/50 split on the profits from these sites – and I like to find someone that is responsible for spitting out the content. I like managing the admin/backend things for a website but just can’t keep up on the writing. Some would ask – why would you want to share the profits from any of your websites? Well, my common phrase is:
It’s better to be making HALF of something than ALL of nothing.
Make sense? How does everyone manage these mass amounts of ideas that swarm in and out of your head? Or am I the only one with this problem?
I’ve come to the realization that I’m more than likely not going to have that one big website that is bringing me in thousands a month. SO a better approach for me to make money online is have hundreds of $10 a month websites. I have the skills, patience and drive to manage all of these sites – just not the time to keep up with the content. I’m looking for anyone that is willing to write for 50% profit. Where do I find those sorts of people?
good stuff, yeah I never understand all the posts about what to do when you don’t know what to do.
There aren’t enough hours in the day to accomplish all the sites and ideas I want to make.
“Have you ever been in the situation where you have more ideas than you know what to do with?”
I can tell you in all honesty that’s my permanent problem. Just like you, I tend to reserve the domain names and work on the ideas later… and “later” often turns into “too late”.
Finding partners to write content and share the profits is an excellent idea. Where do you find them? Everywhere! With so many writers on the internet (and off-line too) struggling for an opportunity, you should be able to find many applicants very fast. Especially when it comes to projects that appeal to a broader audience, i.e. it would be easier to find some suitable writers to take care of their content.
Karen… Thanks a lot for the post… May I ask – where would you recommend looking for “writers”?
nice post.. you are looking for paid writers?
I’m looking for both “free writers” and some paid writers. I don’t have a huge budget but if I could get a content writer or two on board I’d be smooth sailing on some of these sites.
