Great post mate - it's been good to meet you too.

I think a lot of your progress is down to hard work as well - too many people believe the ebooks that it's all about easy money online!

Likewise, lovely to meet you.

You're right about the ebooks, but then again with so many "Make Money Online" sites it must be hard not to get sucked into the "incredibly easy methods" at first.

Two thing i have learnt over the past year:

DEVELOPMENT - FOCUS ON ONE THING:
It's far to easy to try and think that by putting 10 sites up you get 10 times the traffic of 1 site. It's also easy to get carried away by the buzz of setting things up - the real money comes in long-term development of 1 or 2 large sites.

DOMAINS - ONLY BUY WHAT YOU CAN SELL:
If you are new to domains again it is easy to get carried away and register odd brandable names that might become the next Twitter etc. Trouble is you will struggle to sell these for big bucks anyway. Only buy names you can resell. Or alternatively pool money and buy 1 of the best names you can afford. This will give you "potentially" the largest profit and you will be respected around domain circles.

Thanks again to Admin for the upkeep of the forum.
