Has that ever happened to you? You get an offer on a domain name you own that you never would have expected. No, not the $10 offer on a high valued domain because we all get those, but the offer you hoped for but never really thought you would get?

As I've mentioned in the last few months, I am not really building any more websites for the time being. I believe I have built enough websites to manage (maybe too many), and I need to focus on generating revenue from these websites.

In the last several months, I've picked up a new hobby – biking. Although it's not easy biking around New York City (except in Central Park, which can also be a nightmare), I have enjoyed taking my bike out for long rides. As a result of this newish hobby, I've rented bikes on recent vacations

The thing is, I don't always listen to my own sermons. So I'm writing a new series based on those simple business philosophies...

Morning Folks!! Not often you get two separate 6 figure deals at the exact same time. But on Monday afternoon that was exactly what happened. The first one I can not release the details of as yet only to say it was just under $200k. The second one was SydneyHotels.com that I hand registered early on for $100 and sold for $100,000. Both deals were c...
Someone brought to my attention that Mike Cohen is using a snippet from a private email from me to him out of context as an endorsement of his SiteDepot.com which just opened recently in 2010.
