Morgan is one of the most prolific bloggers in the domain space and his blog/s are always great to read and very very informative.

Like myself, Morgan is a lover of WordPress and its power & ease of use. I have close to 100 sites being developed in WordPress at the moment, this scale of development was cost prohibitive even less than ten years ago. Back then before WordPress or other Open Source Content Management Systems became the norm, you had to get pretty much everything done by a web developer which limited most people from developing larger number of websites.

Great job Morgan!

I will be doing it myself as I think it is the best out there for what he is teaching.

I am also an affiliate of his so I am letting others know about it in the
domaining community who may not know who he is or what he does.

Here is the promo below for a free webinar Brendon is holding in a few
days time.  (For the sake of transparency, the links below are my affiliate links
and I will make money if you make any purchases from him.)

Here is the info below -

***************************************************************

Brendon is teaching a webinar called the “5 Most Lucrative Paths
to Monetizing Your Advice & How-To Content Online.” It doesn’t
cost anything, and you can register here:

You’ll learn:

– Which marketing strategies work best online TODAY
– Why people would pay you thousands for YOUR advice
– What types of advice and content you should release (and when)
– Five example paths that all lead to $1,000,000

If, and I mean IF, it were possible to make that kind of revenue
online — I mean millions of dollars — leveraging your genius and
life experience, how would you begin?

It’s a tough question and a perplexing problem that Brendon
had to ask himself years ago when he was on the verge of
bankruptcy. Back then, he had nothing but a dream to inspire
and instruct people on how to improve their lives.

Then, as you’ve probably heard, Brendon made $4.6 million
in under 24 months by leveraging his advice through books, speeches,
seminars, coaching, and online training and information marketing.

He told me that money never meant much to him — because he
never had any — but he had to learn how to get revenue coming
in to sustain his message and mission.

So, he put together a plan.

On this one-time only webinar, he’ll share his five favorite paths
to making $1,000,000 online. Of course, not everyone will
be able to do it. But I’m glad Brendon is ambitious enough for you
to teach it anyway.

To register for the webinar, click here:

Personally, I think sharing your voice and advice with the world
is a worthwhile endeavour whether you make money or not, but
as Brendon says, “You might as well be compensated for what
you know, and earn an income for all the impact you can have.”

Take notes. It’s going to be a great webinar.

I often get asked about what technology I use in my office and how my office desktop is setup, so here is my list of item I use with a photo as well, click on the image to enlarge it if you like.

Apple iMac 27 inch LED (Latest Model) 2.7 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 Processor, 12 GB RAM, 1 TB Hard Drive, AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB Graphics. Also standard Apple wireless Keyboard & mouse which I love.

2 x ASUS 21 inch LCD Monitors (These are a few years old now and were left over from my old PC Workstation) so not sure of any model numbers but you can get better quality now that these at half the price I am sure!! LOL

You can never have enough screen real estate in my mind, when you are buying and selling domains, developing websites, working on clients projects, talking on Skype etc etc…. Once you have tried it it would be very very difficult to go back to one screen. Perish the thought!

Altec Lansing Speakers (2 x desktop speakers & a sub woofer under the desk) again a few years old now but you can pick up similar quality ones for well under $100 these days.

My second away from home computer is my Apple Macbook Air

Apple Macbook Air 13 inch 1.7 Ghz Dual Core Intel Core i5 Processor, 4 GB RAM, 256 GB Hard Drive, Intel HD Graphics 3000. (this is a great laptop, so dam lite and powers through any work I need it to do but most of all I can get about 7-8 hours of life from the battery compared to max of 2 hours I used to get from my PC Notebook.

iPad (Version 1) WiFi & 3G with 64 GB of storage. Love this little baby and use it way more than the MacBook Air.
Looking forward to the iPad 3 coming out this year as it will be time for an upgrade then.

iPhone 4S, 64 GB storage, I had the iPhone 3GS before upgrading to this one and bypassed the iPhone 4. The iPhone 4s came out on my birthday Oct 14th so I could not say no to that upgrade could I!! LOL

I also have a Wireless Blutooth Headset from Plantronics model 995H which are very good quality sound and very comfortable to wear for hours at a time if you need to. The built in mic is also very good quality.

But the Microphone I use to do all of my podcasts is the Yeti Blue USB Mic which was (and I think still is) the first USB Mic to be THX Certified (THX is a trade name of a high-fidelity audio/visual reproduction standard for movie theaters, screening rooms, home theaters, computer speakers, gaming consoles, and car audio systems.)
This is the best USB Mic I have ever seen or used and has many options of how it cam be used, here is the link to the manufacturers website. http://www.bluemic.com/yeti/ 

So there you have it, the tools I use every day to run my business from my home office in Perth Australia.

What a great business we are in and what a great time to be running a business on the internet.

Please feel free to let me know what you have as your office or home office setup, I would love to see what others are using.

Cheers

2011 was a very quite time for this blog / podcast due to other projects that I needed to focus on.

2012 will be a very different story as I am very pleased to announce that I have partnered up with Danny Batelic from www.tradingwebsitesblog.com & www.dominiche.com and also the Dominiche Podcast that Danny co-hosts with Ed Dale from Challenge.co

Danny has had great success with developing and flipping websites over the past few years, so not only will we be talking about domain names but also what is involved in developing out your domains to sell on platforms such as Flippa.com

The podcast will now be once a week and run for approx 30 mins or so. We will also have every month an industry expert guest on the show that either Danny or myself will interview. To revisit some of my past interviews with the top domain experts on the planet, please visit my interview archives here www.ozdomainer.com/category/domain-names-podcasts/

So please feel free to suggest any topics that you would like to see covered over the next 12 months and we will do our best to cover them for you.

Thanks for your time and we look forward to bringing you a great podcast in 2012.

Cheers

Ed & Danny
