Money Hacks on the Move?
Note: I already posed this question to readers of Get Rich Slowly. If you responded there, please don’t respond here. You’ll mess up my survey!
For the past six weeks, I’ve been posting one short tip here every weekday. But I’ve found that it feels odd to maintain two money sites. Every time I write something for Money Hacks I think, “I should really share this at Get Rich Slowly.” There are other times I post stuff at the main site and think, “I should post this at Money Hacks.” More and more, it makes sense to maintain just one site.
How do you folks feel about this? How many of you read Money Hacks but not Get Rich Slowly? How would you feel about moving over to the main site? Would you prefer that Money Hacks remained an autonomous entity? Would you be okay if it were absorbed by its big brother, Get Rich Slowly? Some combination of the two? Don’t really care? Let your voice be heard!

Why not post the Money Hacks posts in a separate category in Get Rich Slowly, but provide an obvious link to that category, and a separate RSS feed for it (easy to do in wordpress, and you can just redirect a feedburner feed to point at that category only…

RodeoClown, this is actually what my current plan is. Before I make my move, though, I want to be sure there isn’t much fuss from dedicated “Money Hacks-only” readers.

You could probably leave this blog running too, but add a plugin that posts from an RSS feed, then point that feed to the GRS Money Hacks category.
That leaves this site intact, and no one need even know anything has changed…

I’ve got both on Bloglines, so I’m tuned in no matter what - keep it up, great blog(s)

I don’t really care either way. (I’m RSS-sub’d to both)

I’m with RodeoClown… I’m sub’d to both, but for your sanity, why not keep just one?

Keep both. It seems like it gives you more flexability and income opportunities.

I subscribe to both, and like it that way. If it’s too much trouble for you, though, I recommend combining them. Either way, people like me will read it all.

i only read money hacks yet would be more than willing to sub to just a category under GRS.
thanks for a great blog!

Bummer. Just this week I added a subscription to money hacks and dropped my GRS sub because I prefer to receive one short daily item instead of n-items of n-length that GRS provids.

I read GRS all the time and currently subscribe to both (because of your post mentioning MH on GRS) so consolidating them both would make little difference to me.

One site is fine with me.

It would be nice to combine them — why look in two places? Make Money Hacks a column to the side of GRS; that’s my suggestion.

While I read both of your blogs, I really do not understand the difference between the two. And if you are also having this problem with your posts, that it would make sense to maintain one unified blog. Otherwise, you have to ask yourself, what is the purpose of one versus the other?

“Why not post the Money Hacks posts in a separate category in Get Rich Slowly, but provide an obvious link to that category, and a separate RSS feed for it (easy to do in word press, and you can just redirect a feed burner feed to point at that category only…”
I totally agree.

I like the shorter posts of Money Hacks as opposed to the sometimes lengthy GRS posts. So if you do combine them, please make sure we can have a feed for just the Money Hacks posts. Keep up the great work!

I didn’t even know there was two but now that I do I will be reading both.
I would recommend it just because of the difference in the workload you would have to deal with especially dealing with the same categories of interest. I would actaully perfer to read off one merged website. It is one less website I would have to go to.

This is REALLY interesting because I’ve just opted to go the opposite route: creating TWO separate sites. The first is my blog (you can get there by clicking on my comment name, above) and the second is myrecently announced ‘grand experiment’: 7m7y.com
Having said that, one is a blog and the other is a journal/journey for 7 Millionaires … In Training! So, it might make sense to keep separated … we’ll see!
