A Review of Some of My Latest Domain Purchases
I would imagine that the guys that buy hundreds of names a week would have much more exciting domains to talk about but for me, each purchase is a little step towards building a million dollar portfolio.

What Would You Do With Domainers.com?
It’s a term we’re using every day. A term that some like and some don’t, but it seems to have replaced the term domain investor and encompassed all the business models that include domains. It’s a name that sits there idle, waiting for someone to monetize it. Do you think you have a way to [...]

I Need Help Picking A Logo
I’ve got a new site I’m working on DonateCarCharity.org. Long story short, I got to talking to someone about donating cars to charity and how big of a business it was.
