When it comes to making money online, I hate this time of the year. Why? Because college football is over. Sure there are bowl games in a couple of weeks, but that’s pretty much it. Some of my biggest websites, such as Gator Envy, Tim Tebow Fan Site, and Fight Song Lyrics all revolved around the world of college football. Once football season ends, I see big drops in traffic and revenue. It’s not fun!

That’s the downside to having a lot of sites in your network in the same niche. If something happens, or the season ends, then you’re screwed until it starts back up again.

It’s important to spread your websites across different areas. It’s something I’ve been meaning to do for awhile now, but for some reason every time I start a new website, it’s always about sports. On one hand you want to build websites around your interests, but on the other you need to spread your risks. Finding the perfect balance is key.

In 2008, I’m going to concentrate on buying/building websites that don’t have time constraints. Websites that won’t ever become obsolete (such as Myspace sites or video game specific sites). You don’t want everything you’ve worked for to come crashing down because of an outside source.
