The latest addition to my slowly growing geo network is SheffieldWide.com. At the moment it is little more than a one page site, but I plan to develop it into a fully fledged minisite in the coming months.
I’m slowly forming a geo network of sites targetting major English cities. ManchesterWide.com was the first. Over the last few months sites for Birmingham and Leeds have been added to the network. Bristol, Newcastle, Liverpool and Nottingham will follow in due course.
In addition, I added Manchester Breaks to the network some time ago.
Except for my Manchester site, they are all basically pages that need to be made into robust sites.
I think a mistake that many geonetwork developers make is to fail fully build out their network before moving on to the next site. There are lots of reasons why this is a good strategy. However, I believe the money is in development, so I want to build out the existing nine sites before moving on to the next ones.
The revenue goal I have set for myself is $1 per day, per site. Is this achievable? The way I look at it, if a $1 a day is achievable, so is $5 and $10. How easy that is, and whether I think its worth the effort, is something I will discuss in future posts.
