I am looking for a blog sponsor, if you or you know of someone that is related to domaining and would like to be a sponsor. Please use the contact to get in touch with me for more info.
Today I was poking around at a few things on the blog and decided I didn’t like the theme I have now. Well I wanted a theme that will pop out to all my users and they will say WOW. I like that, well after a long chat with a buddy Patrick on twitter, I decided that sometimes, to be different is what it is all about. Yes, I want something that everyone that comes to my site will like. Yes, I want something that everyone will enjoy. But, I am trying to make a name for my self in domaining and blogging. If I have a theme like everyone else I would not succeed at being different.
I for one, always want to be different from the next guy, no I may not have the innovated ideas, or the great grammar, But that is part of being who I really am. I am who I want to be and I want to be a nice, creative, selective guy. I am really into blogging and enjoy writing for anyone who wants to, can read it. But, I also want a blog that once you come to it you will think different about me and the industry. I chose this GameNow theme from WPNow.com cause I thought it was a very fun looking theme, not only did it looks fun, but it has colors. Something allot of themes do not have. If you took a poll most designers work best with black. While this one has black it also has the white version you can choose to use.

Sometimes a break is all that is needed and while you on that break, think.
Thinking is the most powerful tool you have and your brain is the most powerful computer known to man. I was watching Criss Angle last night and though he may be a mad man or insane. He talks of wisdom that you might find insite in if you really listen to it.

I had a Interview with a new domainer and I wanted to share it with all of you. I think this is a great oppertunity to learn something as well as think about it in a different way.

How long do you think you will continue to domain?
For as long as there is money to be made I would say. I enjoy it as a hobby as well; it is an excellent past time.
Have you met anyone special that advised you or made an impression in you domaining career?
To be honest no I haven’t met anyone who advised me I have learnt the trade myself and I would recommend this to new domainers. Use your own judgement and only ask for advice if you cannot find the solution yourself. You will make mistakes but as long as you learn from them then you will be stronger for it.
Is Domaining your main job?
No I am a student at university, studying Business Enterprise with Business Technology
Do you think you are successful at this risky business?
Now that I have some time during the summer, yes I think I am successful at it as money seems to be coming in a lot more regularly now. It is not a get rich quick scheme; it is something which needs to be understood and worked at.
What type of domains do you mainly try to register?
I used to register domains all the time however now I prefer to see if I can get some good deals and look around the expiring domains.
Whats your favorite Extention?
Would have to be .com as this is the be all and end all of extensions. However I also like .tv and of course .co.uk
Thanks
You are welcome!
