I've been behind on book reviews so excuse the numerous blog posts, Facebook and Twitter updates coming this weekend. I've actually been consuming books at a near record pace recently as I've fallen back in love with listening to audio books. With so little time to sit and read holding a book, audio books allow [...]
Here's an opportunity for designers and webmasters to make some money developing premium domain names. This is a soft and very humble launch. We are trying to get this out the door on a shoestring budget. Over the years I've lost a small fortune trying to mass develop domains as mini-sites and then lost another [...]
This is a subject that has been on my mind a lot lately. The domainer in me would naturally gravitate to the plural of a domain in most cases. After all, a store called refrigerator.com doesn't make as much sense as refrigerators.com. Just how big is their inventory? Since relaunching Latona's and refocusing my brokerage company [...]
I once heard that 86% of statistics are made up on the fly. In that vein, here's my article. Most of my life I've felt what I think nearly everyone else feels that you are better off getting the other party to make the first offer. It's the standard in business at large, not just [...]
I don't normally make predictions, publicly. Ok, maybe I have a couple of times. This one is a bit more bold, though. Perhaps it's because I work with so many search engine guys at our website broker service that's helping me form this opinion. Or maybe it's the press releases from companies like Bankrate where [...]
One of our Latona's listings, ReviewCar.com just lowered their reserve from from $129,000 to $88,000 even after redesigning their site and increasing their revenue from $2 200 per month to more than $2600. The asking price is now less than three times earnings. I like that about the deal but what I really like to [...]
I have about a dozen positions that have opened up for savvy web designers with experience in Word Press. The pay is good and you can work from home, no matter where you are. If interested, please contact me and include examples from your portfolio.
I don't normally blog about names for sale on an individual basis but let's see what happens with this one. I'm partners on this name with a friend of mine in the financial services business. We don't have it priced but we are both reasonable. We are willing to entertain cash offers, financing offers as [...]
Dear Domainers, Domains are not worthless. That wasn't at all what I meant. There's been a lot of drama surrounding last Tuesday's announcement so I felt compelled to spend a beautiful Saturday afternoon elaborating on some of my comments that sparked so much outrage. I've made a personal decision to focus on cash generating web properties. It's [...]
For months now I've been divesting from the pure generic domain business and defining in my organization the class of assets known as web properties. I believe that what matters in today's day and age is cash flow. That is the simplest way to explain the new business model behind Latona's. To fully understand where [...]
