I have been lurking for awhile and have read most all threads. And determined this forum compared to others I have found is like listening to college seniors discuss what college is like versus other boards were middle school kids are all talking about college and have no idea what they are saying. But had one question for the experts on here. I have a lot of domains that are up and running in different stages and years being active. I bounce between working hard on just one and then trying to work a just little bit on each one. Which is better to get one super domain cranked out and running on its on or slowly build up as many different niches as you can. So in the long run you have a bigger field and wider area for making money?
Yeah Another Newbie Question

I love this question, somebody else asked it a while ago, and I answered like this:
Again, I agree with Ice. Godaddy actually called me 2 days ago talking about renewing some domains, domains I've been sitting on with no sites since 2006. I just deleted all of them, about 72 in that batch. Potential doesn't mean jack shit. The last 8 months I've been concentrating on 1 single project, and putting 80+ hours a week into this project and essentially burnt all the bridges to past revenue.
Unless you've got the staff and people which are competent enough to handle the different projects, you'll be forever scatter brained, and never really get one good thing off the ground at a time.

No. In fact, if you focus all of your attention on ANY site, and FAIL HORRIBLY, you will be further along after your failure than you EVER could have gotten by muddling around in a dozen different niches, and half-assing it.
It's hard to learn much when you aren't invested in what you are doing. Skin in the game is the best motivator out there, and if you're not talking about money, you're talking about sweat. So put some sweat in on a project so that you can get to a point where you give a fuck about it.
If I may add, giving a fuck about something isn't necessarily being blinded by love either.
I'm in the same boat. I had about 15 domains that I've been sitting on for a couple of years, not doing anything with. I tend to get ideas and buy domains in bulk, and not do anything with 90% of 'em. I let all the domains that aren't actively getting content added expire, and I decided to focus on actually building out the couple I add content to for the time being. Its hard to replicate a success when I haven't stayed on one project long enough to really get it rolling in the first place.
