Hi all,
Thought I should introduce myself to the forum as you/we may have future correspondence/domain sales together and it always helps if there is some background information available.
I've been checking the forum off and on for a relatively short time (a few months) but I have been involved in internet businesses/domain trades for a few years.
In-fact the first domain I bought and sold was in the late 90's - a stock market related domain - via GreatDomains. I invested in a few since then (early 2000) but I didn't develop any of my ideas and they ended up lapsing as I moved onto other interests.
More recently, say 3 years, I have been buying domain names mostly with a purpose of monetising them via affiliate sites and on occasion selling the domain on. Nothing major, a few sales here and there via Sedo, Domain Lore and Go Daddy.
My main interest to begin again was building websites via the wordpress platform and then using seo to get traffic. I was initially doing PPC for a while driving traffic direct to Amazon but they changed the terms and it had to come via a website, hence my domain and web building exploits.
I currently generate income from adsense and amazon mostly but I have promoted products via clickbank, rapbank (digital items) to affiliate window, buy.at, trade doubler and commission junction. I also get income from selling backlinks on domains with page rank.
As well as 100+ UK Domains I have around 50 other ones where I also sell american based products.
My websites were initially based on wordpress but I have been using scripts more recently as they are much easier to set up and require less maintenance. Wordpress is always being updated and plugins don't always match the updates. Anyway, I still like using wordpress but not on a mass scale.
My priority is developing domain names that generate an income whilst I wait for buyers to take them off me for a small/large profit - which I then re-invest in new domains. Mostly as a paying hobby but also for the challenge to source a market, research domain names and then make money from the subsequent websites whilst I sleep )
Anyway, just a quick introduction to myself. I have learnt a lot over the years and will contribute where suitable but I am also looking forward to learning more from those who are more successful and knowledgeable.
