I'm taking a break from site work to dabble in a different project. All three sites are on maintenance; the goal is to keep them online and answer emails.

Did not write a single article; just answered emails. Still pulled in 5k, but this was a survival month.

Flooded by work...downgrading this to 3 articles for the month and responding to emails.

Same goal of 10+ articles over the 3 main sites.

This month's goals are the same as February's and March's: 10 posts spread across the 3 main sites. Switched my smaller laptops (12") for larger ones (15" and 14); we'll see if these help with the writing. I'd love to get back to 60 posts per month, but my focus is just not there yet. A big...

Goal achieved, and like last month, exceeded. Content was mostly written for the leading income site; the goal will be the same for April.

I'm more than 3 years into my online affairs beating my day job for income, so yes. Sometimes I feel like it isn't that successful, simply because I'm at roughly 5k/mo these days and used to be at 8k/mo, but I try to remember that I could also be at 0k/mo, at which point I'd find 5k/mo amazing...

This month's goals will be the same as last month's revised goals: 10 posts spread across the 3 main sites. Last month, I nearly tripled that, but see it as necessary due to how close to burnout I am at work.

Met my goal! Now debating over whether to hold it or increase it for next month...we'll see.

I had Sitelock enabled as a free service when I used Bluehost. One day I randomly discovered my main site was down; chat informed me that SL had done something to it to protect it. I asked them to cancel it ASAP; they did, and my site came back. The whole thing is complete nonsense, and yes, be...

X220, X230, T420, T430, T520, T530. All fall into the range you suggested. I own a 220 and 230, my wife owns a 430, and I used to own a 530; they're all excellent machines. I do nearly all my work on the 230, and have at times written up to 70 articles a month with it. I sometimes consider...

Pivot time. Downscaling again to a goal of 10 posts for the month spread across all three sites, and I think this is where I'm going to have to stay for a while (if I can even hold it). Got too much at the day job and with the family to do 35, much less 60-something like last month. Slow and...

It depends on your goals and tactics. I've made a few hundred grand in the last few years purely from white hat stuff. I've never bought a link, dabbled in PBNs--none of that. But perhaps I'd have grossed a few mil or more in the same time from darker hats; who knows? I don't lose sleep over it...

It's a balance you continually work on (like everything in life). All the money in the world's no good if you can't find meaning (because you'll end up destroying yourself sooner or later). If grinding is where you find 100% of your purpose, then there's no problem there. But if other things...

January went well; I more or less met all three goals I set. However, it took a lot out of me, and I have more work obligations competing for my limited free time, so I'm scaling things back for February. For February... 1.) Add 28 posts to farm site. 2.) Add 4 posts to factory site. 3.) Add 3...

1 - 97% achieved; added 58! 2. 100%! 3. 100%! That took a heck of a lot out of me, though, especially with work and family commitments. I'll tweak overall goals significantly for Feb.

I'd do it through .htaccess. This ( https://yoast.com/research/permalink-helper.php ) is a quick converter to go to the /%postname%/ ending from anything else; I used it successfully to get rid of a much longer previous structure on a site with ~500 posts. If you learn .htaccess well enough, you...

I maintain them by owning as few as possible. I have 4 sites, and frankly, even that's too many. A few years ago, I was making 8k a month primarily from 1 of them.

This is me right now. Of my 5 sites, 2 bring in 99%, and I'm having a devil of a time splitting attention between them, as well as with a third site that makes the remaining 1% but could grow to the size of the big 2 if I focused on it. I might end up dropping the 3 do-nothing sites to just...

I don't separate the two. To paraphrase Liam Neeson in Taken, I have a very specific set of skills that allow me to make a lot of money in the richest country in the history of the planet. With great power comes great responsibility and all that. So I work my day job and I build sites when not...
