Key tip about blog networks from the creator of the category

Filed Under general · Tagged:  

I read something at Jason Calacanis’s blog today that really resonated with me. When asked “What are the key points for success with a blog network?” he replied “Today it is really about focus. When we started we tried a lot of different things, but there was no competition. Now you’ve got a lot more folks involved in creating blogs for profit, so spreading yourself thin is a recipe for disaster.” I think this is true about every small business, not just blog networks. I think that a good way to build a mediocre business is to try to be good at a lot of different things. If you want to build something that will be stellar, focus.

    I do not agree.
