So I Decided to Raise This Cow So I Could Eat Him

By ShaneCultra - July 30, 2010 - 4 Comments

[caption id="attachment_3711" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="This is a representation of Hammy"][/caption] I had this great idea. I was going to do a website about me buying a calf, raising him, and then eating him. It was going to be called, RaiseitEatit.com. I went into it thinking that there are a lot of people like me in the world. A person that loves meat but not sure what in the heck I'm buying in the store. Myself and a guy that works for me decided we'd raise our own steer. So we went ahead and decided we'd attend the next auction. As I headed out to auction (I had forgotten to ... Read More »

Friday’s Daily Dropping Domains and a Joke

By ShaneCultra - July 30, 2010 - 0 Comments

One of the best things about writing this blog are all the great emails I get (and a few spam emails). Yesterday I got to meet a couple of great guys that reached out and let me know they enjoyed the blog. It's a nice feeling to see that others get my sense of humor and outlook on life. Life is made to be lived. We make money so we can enjoy it. I just need to make more because I want to enjoy it more. Now onto the names. USDF.com I usually don't like 4 letter acronyms but with this one starting off with US I think this one has great value. JackRabbit.net 33,000 searches and a surprisi... Read More »

How I Lost $1500 Domaining in 30 Minutes

"Hey Rick what do you think of this domain?" was the email I sent to Rick Latona. The response...... "I don't see any value". It was right there I knew I had paid too much for the domain. It's not that Rick always gets them right but if you want a straight forward answer he's the guy you ask. It was several years ago that I attended a namepros live auction at their site. I was excited. I already had a ton of plant domains but I was just getting into flipping and had put $5,000 into a "domain fund" to start me off on my way to riches. I had recently sold a site for $75,000 and the money ... Read More »

Thursday’s Daily Dropping Domains

By ShaneCultra - July 29, 2010 - 1 Comment

For the millionth time I was perusing through my domains and realized "I have too many". Some I've even forgotten I have. It struck me that I'm back to the same feeling I had with baseball cards. I love to look through them and I all of a sudden I realize how much I've spent on them. I hope this turns out better than the profits on my baseball collection. At least I don't have all my money tied up in Ken Griffey Jr rookie cards anymore. Now onto the names Globular.com I'm surprised how many people think this means "global". Maybe you can sell it to one of them AdvertisingRates.com I ... Read More »

I talk to Rob several times a week and I think Epik is on the right track to big things. I'd like to think I've helped keep them on track through my constant bitching about what I'd like to see happen with the sites. Let's call it constructive criticism. What I like about Rob is his ability to take it those emails I give him... Read More »
