The 46 Year Old Domain Virgin!
How a 46 year old internet neophyte made his way on the web and found his voice! domain, domaining, article writing, web development, investing, ethanol, oil, gas oil well A very successful entrepreneur recently gave me an article from Business 2.0 talking about Domaining.
As many of you know, I invest in oil wells and other things that give me passive income.
When I wrapped my mind around the concept of domaining and domain monetization, I have to admit I got pretty excited.
I always thought domaining was simply speculating on domain names, I never really understood google adsense or those parking sites with all the links.
The concept of developing a niche grouping of domains and optimizing traffic to drive clicks to affiliates or google ads seemed like a long shot for me.
So I decided to educate myself on the business and google searched domaining.
I figured the skills I learned in web development & marketing would help me in my other endeavors.
I decided to stake my claim in areas that I understood.
My focus has been on oil/gas well investing, investing in natural resource stocks, ethanol, biofuels, and cleantech.
Laying claim to domain names can be quite addictive.
My wife is always yelling at me because I spend way too much time on the computer.
Through countless hours of reading I reached a breakthrough, my main tool to expand my web presence was to write about things I understood and enjoyed.
Content is King! (wait that sounds catchy, let's see if that name is available)......Nope!
I have published about 5 articles in the past two weeks mainly in the investing arena & the response has been excellent.
People want to be educated not sold.
If people want what I am working with ie. oil deals, real estate, stocks, etc. they ask for information.
The whole introductory process of working with a new individual or investor is much less nerve racking since they have a feel of my philosophy based on my writing.
I am no longer the 46 year old internet Virgin, thanks to the concept of original content.
Write about what you are passionate about and success is just a few clicks away!
