How To Manage Multiple WordPress Sites?

One of the comments I see quite often from some bloggers (or online entrepreneurs) is that they do not have time to manage multiple sites, as it is already difficult to manage one, let alone several sites.

If you are trying to make money online via affiliate marketing or similar, you should know that sometimes, it is recommended to explore and create several niche sites, to maximize your revenue potential. Depending on the niche you have chosen, this will entail in having to create a completely whole new website you have to manage, and consequently more time required. Managing several WordPress sites can be a tedious tasks indeed, but there is a way around it.

First, What does managing a WordPress Powered Site Entail?

• Creating Posts/Pages
• Updating WordPress
• Install themes (updating them)
• Install/Remove Plugins (updating)
• Managing Comments (approve, trash, spam, etc.)
• Several other repetitive tasks, like backing up files..

And a lot of other tiny things that take up time that I am sure I am missing here. For example, there is the matter of logging in and out of your dashboard, managing users, backing up your files, optimizing databases, etc. For one site, this is already a lot and the more sites you have, the more time you need to devote in managing them. Do the math and you will see that these little things all together take up time. Time is money and using it effectively means more productivity and more time for finding business opportunities. Additional business opportunities for example can go beyond your own sites. You can also manage “websites” for potential clients as well (for those of you offering WordPress Services), as you can have access to their sites without having to login to their accounts, among other things (just a hint).

Now think about this for a moment. What if you can perform these management tasks all at the same time and in bulk? Would that convince you in hunting for more opportunities, or make your life easier in case you do already have multiple WordPress sites? You already know my answer to that, right? I would like to know yours though :).
