Great post, I always reply to my subscribers when they email me, unless their email to me is just full of abuse that is, can’t say I’ve really had one of those yet though.

Emails like the one you’ve shown above are easy to reply to, because as you say he was crying out for someone to help him, and those are the emails I love to receive.

I look forward to your report.

Yes it’s a blog that gets other peoples articles posted onto it.

I have done no work to in in a long while but I have made a couple of sale with it without touching it so I can see that with a little work it is a method that really can work, but it was in my faze of try something then move on and try something else while I was still serching for the magic button.

I might rework it some day so it makes a bit of income.

Who knows, but it is not in my plans at this time.

Thanks again,

James

Ta! Yes, it helps. This is one of the biggest hazards I’m finding is how many is too many.

You mention auto blogs. I take it that you aren’t meaning blogs in the automotive field? But rather blogs that are in a system where other people’s articles get added to your blog if that article is in your niche like in the Free Traffic System? If this is is so, are you finding that the FTS works?

Thanks, and to be honest that is one of the reasons you should have a blog.

To prove to people that there is a human at the other side of the screen and not someone that has no care.

1) I have had a few in all sorts of niche markets, one that counts to me now is this one. 1 other is an auto blog so articles are posted on it daily and I set a product review blog up last month but that is the first time I have done that. The rest I have not used in months if not years.

2) For best results, one to start with. If you can manage to drive traffic,leave coments on other sites to get comments back and reply to all the comments you get on more than one blog then by all means do it, but you will find life can get in the way so I would stick with one and then you can make it the best you can. This blog is a little of where I am heading and how I get there and I couldn’t do that with two blogs.

3)For reasons above one blog for one niche at one time. When you have mastered that blog and it gains all the traffic you need to give it a life of it’s own and more comments then you could reply to, rinse and repeat in another niche. There is no point trying to do two in the same niche unless they are in different areas that you could link them together. But yet again if you are just starting it’s best to put all your efforts into one.

Never spread yourself too thin otherwise you will end up overstressed.

That’s just my thoughts mind but hope it helps,

James

It’s good to know that there is a real caring person behind your blog and not just a maniacal over-stressed time-challenged blogger

My questions to you and others is:

1) “how many blogs do you have?”
2) “how many blogs should we have for better results?”
3) “Should all our blogs be in the one niche?”

Regards to all,
Jan

Thanks for that,

@ Sean I have offered to help him even more and see if I can set him on the right track.

@ Ray You should know I do what I can to help others
and you are right when you say “Respect has to be earned not given.”

I will be over your site soon been a bit slack and tied up with other things.

Did you get your header problem sorted yet??

Talk soon,

James

You did the right thing.That is evidenced by the fact your enquirer got back to you again.

If you have a blog you are saying to the World,”here I am ,can I help?”.

It is a business like any other.If you dont deal with the uncomfortable side of business you are unlikely to grow.Respect has to be earned not given.

Respect is being earned every day.Just look at your list size.That is the true size of your contribution to your subscribers.

Help in this World is rarely given.Useful help…well thats even rarer.

You should have no doubts of your ability.Your respect grows by the day.

Regards Ray

I believe you gave the best reposnse you possibly could! To be honest, most peoples responses are out of sheer frustration, and I know, I’ve been there and still do from time to time.

Responding in the first place is the key, ignoring it only makes it worse. Offering help is a big plus, and why not, it adds value to you and your business.

Talk soon

Sean
