How To Make Money with Mini-Sites Most people create a mini-site and think they are done. If you want to make money then you’re not. Sorry but in most cases money will not just flow into your bank accounts once the mini-site is created.

There's A Lot Of Money Being Wasted In the Domain Channel There is a lot of money that flows into the domain channel, mostly unnoticed.
I’m not talking about the big name, big dollar sales you often read about.

I love Generic Product Domains I do not own many of them, but I do own some! The things that I love about them most are they give you the chance to "Own The Market" for the specific product. Secondly, adding the .com with the product name can create an instant Brand! You can read more about what I mean

Random thoughts inside the mind of a domainer I thought I would have a little fun and "write" some of my random domain related thoughts so you could read them
