Successclick, Domain Monetization

Slice and Dice and Everything Nice

Well… I won’t post the pic yet but there is a domaining lesson in this story below of blood and gore… really!

While using a “safety blade sharpener” on an 8 inch carving knife, I lacerated my right index finger to the bone and tendons.

My first thought, said out loud when I felt the serrated edge of the knife cut smoothly through the flesh between my first and second knuckle, was,

“Ooops. Not good.”

With a torrent of blood pouring out, I calmly played the powerful Viking that I am, and ran whimpering upstairs to wake my wife, who was was annoyed at the amount of blood on a 20 yard path of new carpet.

After somewhat stemming the flow of the Fountain of Life’s sanguine elixir, I received medical treatment, and now am trying to communicate by using different fingers on the keyboard.  Since I am a 100wpm typist who doesn’t look at the keyboard, you can only guess how many times I have hit the ‘backspace’ key while typing this.  (Andrew Allemann will be impressed that even now I have continued with my verbose proclamations).

So, for the next week, I’m not going to be writing much, and I apologize now if your emails are going unanswered for a few days – it is a struggle to type with a metal splint strapped to your hand. I’m not a “pecker” lol.  I will be back soon,  stronger than ever, and ready to make trouble if needed, and have fun with all of you friends and associates and clients while working on making the domain marketing theory a true investment priority that successfully benefits both sides of the online landscape.

Now for the connection to domains for this blog post:  DON’T BUY DOMAINS UNLESS YOU HAVE A SAFE PATH!

What is a “safe path”?

1) Know this business. If you are new, buy one of the ebooks on domaining – I reviewed all those listed on my site on the right sidebar.
2) Do not get a “theme” in your head and start buying/registering domains that you think fit your new niche theme.
3) Unless you have a knowledgeable person guiding you, do not bid on domains at auction. Even a “only bidder” purchase of a domain for $60 can hurt your domain investment chances, especially if you are on a budget. Ten domains at this price is $600…
4) Know your prodservs (understand what your domain choice represents, become an expert in that field)
5) Understand all the different avenues to follow to monetize each and every one of your domain buys.

There’s more, lots more, but that’s for paying clients!

Cheers, and best of health and joy to everyone…

P.S.  Remember that anything that says “safety” in the title means that you probably will get injured using it.

I should be back to full health in a few days, cuz I’m a healthy SOB! *cough*
