Why You Should Have More Than One Blog – When a Duplicate Blog Makes Sense
By DeAnna Troupe
I know it seems like a lot of work to maintain one blog. However, you might want to consider having more than one blog. What would happen if your main blog was to die for some reason? What would happen if your hosting company had to shut down for maintenance? How would you communicate with your readers? Here are some more reasons why you should have more than one blog.
If you have more than one blog, you have somewhere to keep your content in case your other blog dies. I know you are a smart cookie that backs your blog up daily. However, if something happens and you can’t back your main blog up, a duplicate blog will be a godsend for you when you go to restore your blog.
If you have a duplicate blog, you can communicate with your readers while your main blog is down. This is the most important reason to have a backup blog. You don’t want to alienate your readers. Having a back up blog gives you a platform to communicate with your readers while you are fixing your main blog.
Blogging is all about connecting with your readers. When your blog is down, you miss out on the opportunity to connect with your readers. Having a duplicate blog makes it so that you have a second place to connect with your readers while you work to fix the catastrophe of having a sick blog. Hang in there, be patient. I know things seem bad, but things will be back to normal before you know it.

This is an interesting post; not sure where I stand on it. On the one hand, I fully understand what you’re saying. On the other, not only do you possibly have duplicate content, against yourself no less, but if your blog was down how would you even inform people about the other blog? I know you’d say Twitter & Facebook, but that only works if at least the majority of people following you are on those platforms.
Going to have to think about this one some more.

Well I was thinking that you could have a blog hosted at wordpress or blogger that you could use to let people know what was going on at your other blogs if they weren’t on twitter or facebook.
