For the past couple of days I’ve been doing a few things that I normally do - like read my RSS feeds, visit blogs, do silly polls, and just basically fritter away my time - until I feel like working and then I spend the next few hours doing that… then I’m tired.  I go to bed.

But out of my usual routine I came across WAHM Radio.  Now, I’m not at all interested in this sort of thing… usually.  I find it so “not me”.  I am a mom, for a while I was at home, but I just am not that “motherly” - or rather I seem browbeaten to think that I have to be when I visit most of these sites.  Meh - it’s just not me.  So why did I end up listening to a WAHM Radio segment?

It was about Alice Seba selling off one of her sites - Internet Based Moms.  It was making her good money - why give it up?  I really wanted to know.  So I stayed around and listened.  She made sense.

When a site becomes so totally consuming as her site did - it loses that appeal.  Perhaps new blood is needed to make things fresh again, with the enthusiasm it had once started out with.  I totally get that.  I think that had to have been a bit of a hard decision for her… but she did it.  She feels good about it.  It wasn’t a bad podcast.

If you’re interested in that sort of thing… a break from the usual.

I also liked her thoughts on the whole - eggs in one basket - story.  I was listening to her, and thought if I could have done it all over again, knowing what I know now.  I wouldn’t have just bought domains and dreamed that they would make me money with a few pages put up and no real work put in.  I would have been focused on an idea.  Work it up and then expand - as she says within the same sort of area, then you’re not starting at ziltch every time - and that can be so very hard to break into.

I think I’m going to read some more and then make my next move :)  I know what’s working, now I need to expand on it.
