Alrighty.
I might also be in a different perspective, as I am operating as an individual not a team.
I also might not know a lot because I am fairly new in this SEO game.
So apologies for my lack of knowledge.
But I would still pick the 10.
A few reasons
1. How would I put in and manage all 10000 sites in google search console?
(do you index them by api? is there one that I do not know of?)
2. How would I analyze traffic in all 10000 sites?
3. How would I auto deploy blogs in all 10000 sites?
4. How would I manage how to send traffic of a specific niche in all 10000 sites?
This sounds good to me on paper,
but as a developer myself, this looks like a nightmare XD
This would only be possible with a team of multiple members.
And is only duable in company grade scale in my opinion.
You might be working in a marketing company with talented devs?
Do you believe someone who wants to be wealthy worries about such problems?
If you can write your own os, own compiler, such problems like management of sites and apis is a little problem
Just fcking crush them one way or another! There's always some space where you can do better work than other people and not do things that are too hard for you / your wallet.
Sometimes you are speaking to people who make $1m a month and you don't realize that.
They have such perspective.
I can tell you that if you're broke or poor, you can make a whole lot of money by social media. SEO requires at least 1000s monthly at this point. But it quickly builds up and you can reinvest. Just that almost nobody can enter it now.
If you're a developer, start systems engineering and seeings procedures / processes instead of some reacts and other type of nonsense. This field is full of cancer that simply is out of reality.
But... But... In capitalism (our reality) the foundation is in production. You need to create assembly lines for every single thing including themes, websites, videos, images, text. Yes, you need to make a program that creates 10000 sites.
Shocking? Not for a person with 100m dollars.
or for a person who thinks about "big systems".
Get a job at a factory, see how an assembly line works and you'll have an idea where the money is. This is what our world is based on. Massive production for billions of people.
People who get you some flour and cars, they don't complain that they have to produce 100k cars. Yes, 100k cars, not 100k websites.
Yes, it's hard but what is easy is boring and you quickly get that feeling your life is a mess when you aim for $5 a day.
Btw, sites you can make solo. The problem is nobody will index that if it's generic trash talk like I see people try to index.
I can make a site in about 6 seconds with 150 pages. I hired nobody. I saved like 1 million human hours and yes, I will save humanity!
A fcking assembly line at a computer using binary language. You can use math to build a fcking machine within a machine
Btw, that was a joke. I can make an infinite number of sites as long I can find people who will give me disc space to host it and infrastructure to get massive throughput.
Isn't it exciting! Yes, it is! That's why people do it instead of playing stupid games for 24/7 in virtual reality as if our reality wasn't virtual enough
Btw owning sites and SEO are not motivation. You need something greater like building and creating positive space around instead of looking for barriers that you feel like you cannot work around.
There must be something personal in all of it. It cannot be just money. No!
I can code my own compiler because... Nobody is being copy pasted and I'm not worrying if competition sees my idea as a valid one. I know it's valid cause I have my own personal criteria which are more rational than just comparing myself to a bunch of copy pasted moron level projects.
