Bum Marketing
No Comments
What do bum marketing and the NBA have in common? Well, me at the moment. Yesterday was never going be a very productive day with the first game of the NBA finals on TV, plus I had a school game to coach but despite all the destractions I did manage to get some bum marketing work done. I created another blog, wrote a couple of more articles so I could use them on my other funnel sites, so I did actually manage to get some work done.
My main blog recieved around 45 visitors yesterday, the majority coming from the 5 articles that I wrote and now I’m starting to notice traffic coming from a couple of the funnel sites. No additional sales have been made but I didn’t really expect to make any sales within the first week or two anyway, I think I must have just got lucky with that first sale.
I really want to start pushing the main blog so I can get it ranking well in the search engines as there is nothing better than targeted search engine traffic. The good thing about bum marketing is that unlike the domain method from last month, any work I do now will continue to ‘bear fruits’ , by that I mean even after this month is finished all the work that I have done during the month will continue generating traffic and sales.
Don’t expect to get much work done as I have a work function to attend but hopefully I will get a couple more articles done and maybe even a few more for the funnel sites.

Domain Flipping
No Comments
Well not quite the last time but the last time for the month of May anyway. I recieved the PR3 domain into my account today so that went straight to Ebay with the other auctions and so I have 14 domains in total ready to make some money (hopefully!) There is a mix of domains up for sale and that includes some of the domains that I sold previously but the seller never ended up paying for them so I have relisted them. I actually have a couple more domains that are in my account that I forgot about but I will leave them for a later date.
Well tomorrow is the 1st June here in NZ so I will be posting the month of Junes idea then and I’ll get some of the groundwork done tonight in between watching the Super 14 finals and the replay of the NBA playoffs. Luckily I have Monday off work as it’s a public holiday over here so I should get off to a positive start with the next project although I don’t expect to see any profit for at least 2 weeks with this venture.
I will do a round up of Mays project once the last auction has run and then we will see if it was worth it all and my general thoughts on domain flipping.
For any rugby players out there, GO THE CRUSADERS!!
Catch you tomorrow!

Domain Flipping
No Comments
What do you get when you combine a 10 hour a day job, a love of basketball and 4-5 hours sleep a night? You get buggar all done and basically that’s why I haven’t done as much as planned this week. You see at my current job I have to get up at 5.00am and then I don’t get home until around 4.00pm. This makes for a very long day and then when you have to run around after the rest of the family it’s often not until after 5.00pm that I get to set down and relax. After sitting down for a while and checking all my other online projects it’s time to make tea so off I go.
Now I don’t mind this at all but when you combine my love of basketball and the NBA playoffs which don’t finish until after 12.00am you end up with sleep deprevation which just acculmulated and that was very much the case this week. I was just too tired to do anything with the domain auctions this week and that’s basically that’s why there was no midweek update……I was just plain knackered!
Now this has put me back somewhat but what I planned to do was to upload the last round of domains and then end the auction in a couple of days before the month ended, unfortunatley I’m still in a bit of a sleepy haze and although I did upload all the domains I was using a template and I didn’t realise until the last domain had been uploaded that I actually made them all 5 day auctions, so this means the auctions aren’t quite going to end in the month of May but that’s o.k it’s close enough.
So now I have 13 domains up for grabs and I might add another couple tomorrow. I’m still waiting for the PR3 domain that I purchased to be transferred to my account and if it does within the next couple of days then I’ll list it.
No idea how much I will make this round but I hope it’s at the very least a profit of some sorts. Once this lot of domains sell I will add up everything and see what the final figures are for the month
It’s late now so I’m off to bed but I’m still catching up on sleep so I’ll post again tomorrow once I get my head screwed on properly.
Peace!…………or sleep zzzzzzzzzzzz
