Last month I made a post about what I hate about web publishing. The problem is you never know how much you are going to make! On the other side, some of us enjoy the suspense and possibilities.

Here are some suggestions to help you balance out your income:

1. If you have a few sites that are particularly seasonal, invest some time on other seasonal niches to counter-balance the former.

2. Balance out short-term projects with long-term ones. A general rule of thumb is short-term projects are worth spending time on if they are capable of making an obnoxious amount of money. Balance high-risk with low. There are many gambling affiliate marketers who learned this the hard way.

3. If you reinvest your profits in to longer term, hands-off projects, you can softly shut the door on disaster scenarios rather than trying desperately to inflate a life raft during a storm.
