Don’t put all your eggs in one basket

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket I’ve been working online since 2010 and to be fair I’ve made a fair amount from doing so. Ok it’s never enough and I’m always looking for something new to be able to earn from. I’ve never really put all my eggs in one basket and that something you should never do, especially with being online. Spread your wings and work multiple website. I think that is the key to working online, have multiple incomes going into your back account. Have you got all tour eggs in one basket?

I had all my eggs in one basket when I started years ago with Squidoo. It was such a deception when they changed the rules and messed up everything. The result the site closed. I learned the lesson.

Between not only online it is not wise to put all your eggs or gold anything basically in one basket. As probability of surviving after a hit decreases exponentially downwards!

I learned that lesson when I was playing farmer. One crop can fail, have a few. Don't know why I would not do it online but for some reason we can stick to the one thing. Maybe it has something to do with time management. How in the world do you do it?

Managing time, that a hard one for me. I spend a little time to each site.

@Bluedoll Lol it sure does, I can never have 5 minutes on one website, could you, yes maybe an hour or two hmm three. To be honest I not good at time management for sure, if only.

@kevin1877uk I'm going to guess like me you get carried away sometimes. I might determine it will be for five minutes and that turns easily into an hour. Time fly's when you are having fun.

I realise the logic behind this practice Kevin, but I only have 1 egg.

@kevin1877uk I did have quite a few eggs at one time, but I had them all in 1 basket and most of them broke when I dropped the basket. I could have done with this advice a little earlier.

Oh dear Barry and I thought you would have many more eggs.

That is so true that way if one site goes under you will not feel as much of a income loss.

Totally agree with you and it's the only way to be online. if you have all your eggs in one basket and the website goes, so does your earning which isn't the best have to have when working online.

I made quite a bit of money when I was with Squidoo, a little bit with BB. Before all that I did some affiliate marketing.

I have my eggs in more than one basket but really can't say I expect to earn much from online

I like to do more than one thing at a time. Today I focused on Mylot. By making a few new discussions throughout the day and leaving a ton comments.

I have had a few dozen eggs broken. It seems that I end up concentrating on the one that seems teh most profitable. But something usually goes wrong eventually.

Yes, that is true. With websites keep on springing up and closing down, it is risky to have all your income from one site. Having said that, knowing how to make money online is already a skill that we have acquired. Think of millions of users who know how to waste time in Facebook, and you can see what I mean.
