Hustle 2009 – Day 2, Aggressive Domains Seller

Jan 8, 2009 Domains, Marketing Leave a comment

Tasks accomplished Today.
Well no sales where made today via the Ebay Affiliate program. I really wasn’t expecting to but if it did, it would have made my day.

I decided to be more aggressive in the selling of my domain names. Selling one would put me days ahead of my goal. So I located the contact information of a dot net owner and emailed the owner letting them know that I was in possession of the dot com and was currently thinking about putting the dot com up for sale. And asked whether they would be interested in purchasingÂ it beforeÂ I did so? I placed a time frame of 3 days on it so hopefully I will receive a response back soon.

I also decided to place another one of my domain names up for sale on Sedo. RealRapTones.com, it’s going to be interesting to see how that goes.

Sedo has a service where for a $40.00 fee they will display your domain name(s) that you have for sale on their homepage. Or course this is rotated amongst a list of others but I still think this is a good service, Iâ€™ll give it another day before I pull the trigger on that.

Well thatâ€™s all for today, not a bad day but it could have been better. I was not so motivated today. I think tomorrow I will begin to hit the message boards to see if I can spark some kind of interest with the domain sales.

Until tomorrow

Hustle 2009 – Day 1, Domains for sale

Jan 7, 2009 Domains, Marketing Leave a comment

Tasks accomplished Today.
I listed only two of my domains for sale on Sedo. Itâ€™s hard parting with domains.

I joined Ebays affiliate program and created a script to display products on a couple of domains I own. In the past I have been sending traffic to Amazons Affiliate program, Amazon cookie duration expires after 24 hours which sucks, Ebays is much longer, this should be a successful move.

I found two items around the house that Iâ€™ll put up for sale on Ebay either Thursday or Friday. I figure things around the office would be more relaxed towards the weekend allowing me to get off from work at a reasonable time. I have never sold anything on Ebay before so I have no idea how much attention this will require.

These are the items I have chosen so far.

I think I mentioned in my previous post that I had a hard time parting with items.Â I have no idea why, I just do. I have a portable DVD player that was given to me about a year ago that I have never opened but I keep it around because someday I will, thatâ€™s what I keep telling myself.

Not a bad day today,
Until Tomorrow

Hustle 2009 – Strategy Day Today.

Jan 6, 2009 Marketing Leave a comment

Well thereâ€™s not much strategy to it, I have a limited amount of time to pull this off and as I mentioned before SEO efforts probably will not work.Â I have decided my easiest route to producing some quick cash would be to

A.Â Â Â Sale items on Ebay,
B.Â Â Â Sale/Auction domains on Sedo.com,
C.Â Â Â Join an affiliate program and find a product to sale.

So the tasks I have given myselfÂ to take care of before I hit the bed tonight are

Setup aÂ Sedo account, create a list of domains that I wouldnâ€™t mind parting with to be placed up for sale tomorrow.
Find a affiliate program that I could join with a quick approval process.
Make a list of items I have around the house to list on Ebay.

That’s about it…. until tomorrow

Hustle 2009 – 31 Day Challenge

Jan 5, 2009 Marketing Leave a comment

As a personal challenge I decided to see if I can make an additional $300.00 profit within a 31 day period.
1 day to plan a strategy and 30 days to implement.
Rules

Only new ventures should be included, current online income should not be included/counted.
By any marketing efforts possible, Affiliate Marketing, Domain Sales, Google Adsense, and etcâ€¦

For some this maybe easy but for me this will be a challenge. I work a more then full time job, So I have a few hours after work and the weekends. With this minimum amount of time, SEO efforts will take little part.

For entertainment I plan to document my steps.
Should be interesting, Stay Tuned…
