Addicted to Starting New Projects or Addicted to Internet Marketing?

Ot addicted to starting new websites? I can't decide which one I'm addicted to, or if they're all related, and are thus just one thing that I'm addicted to, or if they are all separate things and maybe I'm addicted to them all.

And is the addiction good or bad? Can't decide.

I do know that I get a kick out of owning more than just one or two websites, so that particular addiction is already covered, and dealt with. But then I want to start new projects or websites targetting other topics or related topics to the topics of my sites that are already doing well for me.

And I like to think ahead about how I would be able to link my sites together. I like to think about what my goals are. Effective Internet marketing is the ultimate goal, as more or better Internet marketing earns Tony and I money - in the form of the way we monetize our sites working out for us through more people visiting our sites, or in the form of getting noticed more, so that more people hire us for the freelance services we offer.

For the line of work Tony and I are involved in, earning from monetizing our sites, and earning from getting new clients for our freelance services, starting new projects IS Internet marketing and is ALSO starting new websites.

So does that say I'm addicted to Internet marketing or starting new projects or starting new websites, or does that just say I'm working hard at making a living?

At the beginning of this month I registered 5 new domains. And once the hosting details arrived so that we could add a free WordPress theme to each URL, I remember saying to Tony: "Oooooh, I got new toys!" (Yeah just like that in a childlike voice and using bad grammar.) Now that does sound like I'm at least addicted to getting my new sites looking like I want them to look, and adding their first bit of content.

I sit back from the screen at various stages throughout their initial creation, and admire them, I admire the look of the sites, I admire the free WordPress theme template I've chosen, I admire the navigation I've created, I admire the size of the font I've chosen, I admire where I've chosen to place my Adsense ads, I enjoy thinking about what images should be created or sourced from our own images to go into the header banner, and then I sit back and admire the results, and every now and then I say to Tony: "Look here; how does this look?" or "Can you please help me edit this; this is what I'd like done..."

Then I sit back and look at the sites and think things don't look so good anymore. Then I tweak and edit some things or everything to get the sites looking even more like I want them to look. And I love the entire process. I get such a kick out of it.

Between the two of us we spent a good few hours choosing a different free WordPress theme template for each of our 5 new sites. It was such fun accepting my decision to try a different free WordPress theme for each of the 5 new sites; I usually use my same favorite free WordPress theme template for all my WordPress-powered sites, just doing a little customization to make them look a little different from each other. We chose more than 5, and then put them through a sort of elimination process, to end up with our 5 favorite.

These are our 5 new sites:

workfromhomesouthafrica.co.za
workfromhomeopportunities.co.za
howtomakeextramoney.co.za
howtomakemoneywithawebsite.co.za
platterideas.co.za

I like my addiction.
