31 December 2007 - The First Month draws to an End, happy New Year!

Ok so firstly no apologies for not updating my blog last week I was away for Christmas Skiing, no broken bones luckily, but unfortunately I must report that this holiday was not paid for by some shock domaining profits, more so by the credit card! Anyway it was definately exciting to get back and see if I had made any money for the week! However let me fill you in first....

I have two new purchases to report, these were a random couple of ebay buys I mentioned them below, ebay is a quick and good place to pick up cheap names. So I have now added my first two 4 letter domain names to add to my portfolio. As there are no longer any 4 letter .coms avaliable I am hoping these may prove good little investments as I hope prices will increase. So I bought GTR4.com for $25 and ST03.com for $9 - I didn't want to reveal the names until finalised. Typing both these words in google brings up quite a few results, GTR4 brings up 15,000 related results, and it appears this was the make of a Triumph car so may work with some development. ST03 brings up 82,000 results but what I do with this at the moment I don't know. I know I know I keep buying more and more names!

Anyway lets get around to the money part. It seems my earlier keyword domain name purchases are starting to get a little bit of traffic and these appear to be my cash generators. From 9 December to today I have made a total of $7.98. This includes two days where I have made $1.68 and $1.87, the latter a new record was made on 28 December. So again it is a case of capitalising on the good days, understanding where the money is coming from and looking at finding some more great keyword domain names. Also a few of my newer domains are still yet to list on Google so I am hopeful this will aid the cause.

You may also notice I have added quite a few links below to blog directories as I try to get listed on these, perhaps you have come from one. Anyway the learning curve continues and the money is going up (not a quick as intended) but still in the right direction. Revenue for December is $10.15 + $15 for a name sale (lets not mention spend for now :) Frenchie
