Well, I am still laughing my arse off with what’s happening to the Domain market lately.

It seems like every single pal in the world is starting to discover that 4 letter domains are worth a damn lot of money.

Well, it is probably late now, at least to grab cheap bargains!

The minimum wholesale for these is now at $50 well, probably $70 unless you are dealing in bulk, and I don’t expect it to go lower anytime near… or ever again…

All the LLLL (4 letters).com have been registered and are unavailable since November, 2nd, 2007, and all the Premium LLLL.nets are registered since a couple of days also, so now you have 2 chances, either you go to the market and buy them at market price, or you try to grab a few of the last LLLL.net’s still available.

I’m glad I have a nice mix of those… around 400 500 atm!

Now here’s something very cool!

Yahoo just announced a very nice plugin for wordpress - Yahoo Shortcuts.

If you’re a wordpress blogger and have at least version 2.2 of the script installed, I’m sure you’ll have a nice time integrating this new plugin from the giant US company.

With Yahoo Shortcuts for wordpress you can easily and almost automatically integrate images, maps, financial information and many other features into your blog, and all this without having to handle copyright problems with images or having to copy/paste or keep resizing images so they best fit your posts!

Go ahead, give this a try, I’m sure you’ll be pleased.

It’s been ages now since I wanted to put down to words some random thoughts I have on this so called web business.

I participate in quite a few webmaster forums, such as Digital Point, Sitepoint, Namepros and so on, and I see people making the biggest webmaster mistake over and over…

They think small!

Yes, read again, they think small!

Do you actually think you’ll ever get rich selling links to other webmasters, selling templates, newly created websites or whatever? Forget about it!

Digital Point, for example, has over 118,800 members (~ 42,000 are active) by the time I’m writing these lines, and you can’t even imagine how many of those are making over $1000 per day from various advertising programs and affiliate plans, and you know why?

Because they’ve noticed the world has 6.6 billion inhabitants and, according to the latest internet world stats, at least 1.2 billions use the internet… have you ever thought about this?

Are you still trying to sell stuff to 42,000 people when you have 1,248,357,426 potential buyers out there? Get a life!

Your real business is not inside webmaster forums, your real “becoming a millionaire” opportunity is not inside webmaster communities! Of course business can be done there, but the greatest deal you can get there is “knowledge”, something you just don’t buy out there, you can learn a lot from those forums, from being part of a community, from helping others out, but most surely you won’t get rich selling stuff to other webmasters.

Even if you sell a lot of links, blog posts, websites, directory listings and services, you’ll be only reaching around 0,00336% of the internet users, meaning the huge potential is still out there.

It’s time to start thinking BIG, it’s time to direct your websites to the real world.

Stop and think… turn your way round and you might just have a chance.

This is no big deal, as you’ve probably already heard it 1000 times, but people tend to do it all the time.

Either you’re investing in the stock market or online investing, you must diversify your income sources.

At this online business, people tend to rely on adsense as their only income source, and then, if for some reason, that source fails to deliver as expected, people cry and blame Google.

Don’t you ever rely on one income source, there are tons of other quality ways to earn money online, there are programs for everyone, for every market and every website. I’ve blogged about these adsense alternatives before!

As for me I’m using 4 or 5 main programs, even though I have more income sources. Currently I’m using Google Adsense, Zangocash, ValueClickMedia, adBrite, Clickcash, BlackLabelAds and Comission Junction as my major income sources, even though I’ve already tested a few others that I still use every now and then.

In another post I’ll explain how and where I use these, what percentage of my income they represent and what can be done to maximize them.

Cheers!
