Confessions Of An Old Domain Reseller

Mike Nardine asked:


I really can 't confess to many juicy indiscretions until now because I' VE AIDS a domain reseller for less than three months. You see it 's me that' s old, not my business. I 'm still waiting the same attractive pieces. Hope I can recognize them when they appear. Confess that I didn 't know what I did when I got into this business. It would have made this investment if I '¿d know that my competition included eighty thousand other resellers of the domain? Oh, probably. Good initiative and poor trial has been the story of my life. I got my domain reseller store as a birthday present. What? I 'm not saying. But I 'm older than dirt and I' m retired and I think – no, I know – my wife made me desperately want something other than discomfort. Well, your plan workedI came to my office on 3 April and she hasn 't seen me since. That 'acceptable; s an exaggeration. But spend time out here. The warehouse provides that the secretary is a miracle of the utility, and it isn 't all that unattractive either. The problem is that all the stores look pretty much alike, and I 'VE spent quite a long life avoiding just that. Also, you can 't hook up the basic warehouse work with Google Analytics and Webmaster tools. I decided I had to build a website to serve as a front parallel to the actual store and allow the reseller to put my own creative stamp on it. A good idea? I Don 't know yet. Took this tyro Internet the best part of a month to build the site parallel. I guess it could save time with professional help, but what would the fun in that? In addition, professional help costs money and I 'm Cheap not named Mike for nothing. While I built this place blew happy with the ad credits for Adwords and Adsense the secretary had given me and pulled out another piece of my own pocket. That didn 't bother me much because to my surprise, I sold some domains. Thrilled the old cynic in me hates to admit it but me. I 'm still in over my head. I don 't know how many times I' VE comes into my office with what I thought was a good idea and spent the day that was developed to discover that reinvented the wheel. I find myself often selling domains to people who know more about what I 'm selling than I do. The old adage comfort me something man who learns most is the one that spends his life making a fool of yourself. Speaking of doing things, I haven 't made much money yet. Actually, I haven 't made a dime. I 'VE sold several domains and made some good commissions, but have taken Adwords and Adsense profits. But I 'm one enjoys. Only a fool – and young at that – expected to achieve a benefit night in an investment of less than two hundred dollars. In a way it 's the most fun I' ve had since I retired – and for some time before that. I go to bed every night thinking of the ads for domains and I get up every morning with some brilliant idea or another to evaporate the fog in the morning and my first connection. But he doesn 't matter, I' m thinking all the time and at my age that 'good thing of SA! So, while I can 't confess anything titillating as well, I can admit to having a good time.
