Segment 1: What I've Been Into Recently

• Launched my first amazon affiliate site. It’s a brand new domain that I think last podcast I was working on launching. A quick overview
  • It’s a wordpress website on a geodomain. One of the first ones I hand-registered as a DI (but realized pretty quickly it wasn’t a great domain for reselling it)
  • Amazon affiliate, which was actually very easy to setup. I may write an article about it later – contact me if this would be useful to you and I’ll put one together.
  • Currently has 10 informational articles which took me ~6 hours each to write myself, including inserting all the ads.
  • The articles are based on the keyword golden ration popularized by Doug Cunnington. You can watch his youtube here for more information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXuI4H6flxc.
  • Traffic is very minimal, and it’s not showing up in first few pages of google yet, and I’ve had only 1 search click since launching on 12/18.
  • This is a process I think will take at least a year to see if it’s going to work, I’ll keep everyone updated.
• I spent the holidays in my hometown in Kentucky, with just a mixed-bag of emotions.
• Domain investing
  • Finally got planfully.com and islandpack.com listed
  • Changed all of my domain names to price upon request –here's my article where I examined 7 comparisons between buy-it-now versus price-upon-request.
  • domain prices are bonkers right now at auction websites.
  • Considered buying a few .city domains.
• Working on two websites for customers.
• Working on a website for the local youth league to support their 5k
• Added terms/conditions, privacy and cookie policy to my website over the holidays which has been on my wish list for a bit.
• I lost a domain name!

Segment 2: names con

• Newcomer and pro tracks you can select from (I’m going with the newb one)
• Domain economic forum, where they’re pushing for more transparency.
• Domain Auction - click here for a list of current domains that will be auctioned.

Segment 3: sell me your domains

Quite frankly, I’m disgusted at the pricing on auction sites, domain names seem overpriced. I’m going to start pursuing more private purchases. If you have a domain you’d like to sell, reach out to me.
