Sold My First Domain

Friday night I was paid for my first domain sale. I sold the domain PLRcontentNOW.com for $150.00 (USD). I used forum signature marketing only, to sell this domain. My life has been consumed lately with medical appointments for my daughter, and driving my youngest to school and volleyball practices/games etc. that my online business time has been very limited since August. My limited business time is the only reason I did not use other marketing tactics or put the domain up for sale using the auction method. This is why I was shocked when I sold the domain for what many have said is a very good price.

My unexpected success has led me to believe that I could be successful using my writing skills to monetize Websites and sell not only the domains but the complete package. I have some ebooks and courses already on my computer regarding selling domains and websites so I will spend this coming week doing some much needed research into the possibilities of using this avenue for generating much needed steady income for my family. Writing articles has not produced the income we need due to the fact that it is so time-consuming and the pay is not enough for the time I put into writing them (especially for Demand Studios). I am excited by the possibilities that have been uncovered in my recent success and look forward to what lies ahead.

I will post the results I achieve and how I combine my love of writing with selling domains and websites.

Thank you for reading.

AC Experiment

I have been conducting an experiment with Associated Content. I have been a content producer for a few years now and have noticed that lately it has been very difficult to get articles accepted for upfront payment. I am experimenting with different ways to increase my odds of getting approval.

Last week I went through my account and pulled out all the comments from editors that were in the form of advice or tips. I spent all last week following them and still kept getting a "canned message" after each submission that said basically my articles were not different enough from what was already available on the web and that was the reasons for the declines. I published each article so that they would qualify for monthly PV payment (pay for views). I have been doing well with getting lots of page views. I figure if I really increase the number of quality articles I have on AC, my monthly PV payments will increase too.

This week I am only writing assignment articles to see if those get approved or declined. I claimed 4 assignments and only one is upfront payment but very low (just a little over two dollars). Certainly a writer cannot live on such a low offering of pay.

I will post my experiment results here on this blog for anyone interested to read.
