    by , August 5th, 2011 at 8:44 AM (Assorted Thoughts on Website Buying, Selling and Monetizing)
    Fancy having your own blog on this site?

    If you'd like a bio with a linkback to your site you'd need to commit to a regular weekly, fortnightly or monthly column. Otherwise you could post as rarely or as often as you wish.

  2. Now What?

    by , July 8th, 2011 at 11:14 AM (Getting started with acquiring profitable websites - join the journey)
    Well, nothing I guess. The site is no longer open to new members. At some point I need to get a few more products online and I'm done.

    I also plan on moving everything to another hosting account. I don't relish that but I need to downsize.

    If you have unanswered questions, please feel free to ask. If I don't answer you here, then try the forum The forum is one of the best forums on the Internet. It's frequented by a number of people who know a whole lot more than I do. ...

  3. July 4th Weekend - Nothing to Report

    by , July 1st, 2011 at 5:14 AM (Getting started with acquiring profitable websites - join the journey)
    Time flies when you're having fun or even when you're having none!

    I'm giving up everything to be a famous poet

    I'll be rich and famous dontcha knowit?

    Okay, well, maybe I'm not quite ready to quit my day job for the Bohemian life...

  4. The end or the beginning?

    by , June 24th, 2011 at 10:27 AM (Getting started with acquiring profitable websites - join the journey)
    The results of my email announcing the closing of the member site are in. Only about 30% acknowledged the email. No howls of protest. (Do you detect a hint of disappointment in my words?) But certainly some reservations and well wishes.

    So I started canceling memberships. This did elicit a response. The rest of the membership wanted to know why they were canceled. They didn't ask for it.

    Apparently most did not see the first email. A lesson here as to why you should always ...

  5. Shocking news?

    My wife tells me I wear my emotions on my sleeve. My eldest son says, I'm easier to read than a comic strip. So it may come as no surprise to you when I say I'm seriously considering shutting down this site and just walking away.

    Even minimal maintenance for this site is getting to be a dreaded chore.

    And the site does not pay enough to cover expenses, not to mention my time.

    Nothing is final yet. ...
