Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Flipboard 0 The title alone can strike fear in the heart of men. Some people do choose to keep several blogs, though. While it might seem like their sanity should be questioned, there are a few valid reasons for taking the plunge. Maybe those reasons fit you too: Major topic switch. Sometimes, the two topics you want to write about go well together, like chocolate on top of ice cream. Other times, it’s like Tabasco. If the flavors compliment each other, there’s probably no reason you can’t stick with one blog and create a plan which will allow you to dedicate time to each topic. For example, a blog about self-publishing can easily add author interviews. If it’s more of a Tobasco on dessert situation, start a new blog. Offensiveness level. So you host a children’s book review site. Now you’d like to show you have a wild side too. This is one time dedicating a day per week to your other interest is probably not a good idea. No “Wild Wednesday” meme for that blog. Start a new one. Please. Networking with the enemy. Okay, it’s not exactly the enemy. But let’s say your self-publishing blog doesn’t allow political talk, yet you would really like to discuss the situation in the Middle East. Don’t upset your audience by breaking your own rules—start a new blog. Obsessing about your project. Perhaps you’ve been blogging for a while and then, suddenly, you’re a published author. You want to talk about your book, of course. And that’s fine, but remember your audience didn’t come there looking for continual updates about your project. Don’t force it down their throat—you’ll lose visitors. Start a new blog. Link them together in the blog roll, sidebar, or navigational menu. Then you can post about your book occasionally on the main blog, and obsess to your heart’s content on the project blog. Multiple authors. Bloggers will sometimes team up and regularly contribute to the same blog. If you’ve enlisted someone to help share the load, consider if you’re ready to let go full control over your blog. Like marriage, a blog partnership is no longer “mine”, but “ours”. If you’re not ready for that level of commitment, start a new one. Blogs aren’t short-term projects. They are never “done”, until you decide to close it and let it wither away. Until then, you should be actively generating content, finding new readers while entertaining the current ones, and forever adjusting to keep up with the latest and greatest. Taking on another blog is more than just the fun of choosing a new template and theme. You get to start over, and then maintain it, too. Sometimes, though, it’s a better choice than losing the audience you’ve worked so hard to build. Do you maintain more than one blog? Share your experience with them.
