Experiments - I have been doing some experiments with pay per click advertising.  I have launched a few campaigns that made it to the green, some stayed on the line and some just ain’t there yet.   Nothing much to report, that is why, I slacked in writing/updating this blog.

Undo Theme - If you have noticed, this was my last theme before using the AzSands theme.  I have decided that I will stick to this theme for the reason that IT is plain dang SIMPLE.  I love simplicity that is why I revert it back to my original-favorite theme

Personal Website - Since my domain name is MY surname. This will serve as my personal website but still with touch of SEO, Affiliate Marketing and Domain names.  Not much to talk about S.A.D. but then again, I might hit AGAIN a gold mine and I won’t hesitate to put results on my experiments here.

More Experiments - I have a goal of $4000 this month of December, and I have been working my arse off this season.  I will be conducting another set of experiments and hopefully provide a report here on my blog.

Boring life updates - If you’re still interested in reading entries on this blog (Hi DAD!) and with no luck you didn’t find any, you can follow me on twitter.  I am posting once in a while my life’s update there.  Here is the link - jayl on twitter. Please mention my name @jayl so that I would know and will follow you back.

Sooooo, I should be working now, until my next update.  I just hope the next time - I will provide you with some meaty stuff for you to succumb.

cheers.

It marks the 20th anniversary of The Simpsons. Enjoy. hehe

Expectations on another note will also be a part of your life.  You would expect some things and most of the time, it is always an expectation that would be in favor for you.  This is also not healthy, based on my experience.  For every expectations that is turned down, there is a consequence of being frustrated.  Now, are you getting my drift?

It seems that expecting something would be really anticipating with the results based on actions, but expecting BIG can really turn a positive thinking and attitude to a sinking boat overnight.  The moral lesson here is always be prepared for the unexpected.  As easy as it may sound, this is very difficult to handle.  In life there are always two sides - Failure and success, and you should really try anticipating both and really also EXPECTING that the opposite MIGHT actually happen.

To summarize my rant here:

moderate Expectations (OK)

Big Expectations  > can lead to frustrations > can lead to depression

It is not bad to aim high, but to expect a positive outcome always is not really healthy for business.. and in life.

Domaining

This was my first venture on the internet.  Based on my readings, Domaining is a science and art of gathering domain names that would or must have a relative value and then sell it for a profit.  There are many ways on how to profit from the domaining industry.

Buy and Hold

A person who buys domain names (mostly brandables or ones with business sense) and hold it/or make a portfolio of these domain names and sell it later for a profit.  This one is very rewarding for the reason that some companies/name collectors would buy this domains for an amount way higher than the registration fee paid.  The con to this type of  strategy is that transactions would actually depend on the interest of the buyer and unfortunately, there are more sellers than buyers thus having the seller more domain names registered, not to mention renewing them every year in order the get a higher chance of selling domain names.

What to look for:

• Brandable
• High probability of having a commercial value
• age and history of name if applicable

Domain Flipping

Domain flipping is a fast paced type of purchasing a domain name and selling it for a profit.  Seller would acquire domain names (mostly generic and ones that have a tendency of acquiring a typed-in traffic) and then sell it for a quick buck.  Sometimes, names having a page rank would have a high value tagged to it.

What to look for:

• page rank
• a type in value (domain names receiving traffic through users typing the domain name directly to the browsers url address)
• age and history of name if applicable

Domain Parking

Many domainers do this.  since they have hundreds or even thousands of domain names, they cannot really tend to all of them, instead, they park it and hopefully earn a few cents or even dollars.  Imagine a domain name earning a dollar per day x 30 days = $30 correct? What if 10 domains x $1 x 30 days = $300!

Webiste Development

If you have a good name and want to earn a better income out of it, you can always develop it into mini-sites.  a 5-page seo-ed site would earn as high as 10 times than a parking income can generate.  Stream of income may come from ppc networks like Adsense, Adbrite, infolinks and commission type of income from Ebay EPN, Amazon and Clickbank.

There you have it, domaining in a gist.  Be sure to be back for Money Paths on the Interwebs Part II for I will discuss other Money Making Methods here on my blog.

This week, I did a lot of tasks at hand, some sort of a full-forced-get-it-done-asap work.  I set aside a large percentage of my reading and researching and focused on application of what I have learned these past few weeks.

Based on this week’s performance, I must admit that I really worked hard.  Created a list of tasks and updated all niche blogs I managed, not to mention a disappointing  50% decrease of my earnings.  I also re-organized my keywords for my campaigns and hopeful that I can launch the latter by early next week.

This got me contemplating if I am on the right path.  Am I working hard and not working smart?  A certain part of my brain tells me that in order to be successful, I must work hard, but the other part tells me that working smart should be the best way to go.

In the end really, I think these two should be combined together.  In order to have a passive income, which is really my goal, hard work should be implemented first. Automation or “autopilot” (as some gurus say) would follow soon after the real work has been done.

How about you? Are you working Hard or or Working Smart?
