Keeping your blog up to date by regularly publishing new posts is a fairly time-consuming process. So I’ve been amazed (and hugely impressed) by reading about different bloggers who maintain more than one blog, from 2 or 3 blogs up to 7 or 8 blogs, or more! Wow! I mean, I tip my hat to anyone who can maintain a number of blogs, while at the same time keeping the blog content at a high standard!

So creating a blog network - is it for you? Well, I suppose it depends on many factors, including things like time constraints, your various interests, motivation etc etc. If you have a passion for different things, and you have the time, then by all means go ahead and start multi-blogging! With blog providers like Blogger, where your blog is created free of charge, there’s certainly no monetary limit to the number of blogs you can create.

Possible advantages to creating a blog network include:

- The power of numbers, i.e. the more blogs you have, the greater your total traffic will be, which is great if you’re planning to monetize your blogs;

- A greater overall presence within the blogging community;

- An opportunity to voice your opinions and ideas about different subjects;

- A higher chance of getting indexed by the search engines, by creating links between your blogs;

Possible disadvantages of creating a blog network include:

- Time constraints, i.e. you’ll need a lot more time to develop each and every blog;

- Blog dilution, if you’re writing content for several blogs, there’s a chance that your standards of posts will drop as you’ve less time to devote to each blog;

Also, the way I see it, there’s two different ways to create a blog network:

Linear Approach: Create your blog network one at a time, i.e. once your first blog has developed and matured (and requires less maintenance) then create a second blog and develop that one etc etc...

Non-Linear Approach: Create multiple blogs from scratch at the same time, and ‘rotate’ your blog posting between them, and build your blogs simultaneously.

Since I only have one blog at the moment, I have no experience of the different approaches above to creating blog networks. My gut feeling would be to go with the linear approach, as I think I would fare better if I was concentrating on one blog at a time. However, you may feel that the non-linear approach would suit you better, as I’ve said before, it’s completely down to the individual.

Whether or not to multi-blog is very much down to the individual. If you have varying interests, and feel you have something to say on different topics, then go for it!
