2010 was a waste of time – you didn’t get those domains developed, you didn’t sell enough domains, you bought too many pigeon s*** domains, you didn’t get x domain in the drop that you really wanted, you couldn’t close a great name because you were short on funds, and in general you just suck at life!

Well, maybe it wasn’t all that bad, maybe you didn’t do all you wanted, but you did do SOMETHING to sell domain names and sites, upgrade your portfolio of domains, build links, write articles and SEO your existing sites. 

Which path will you take?

You did network more and build some key relationships online and offline.  You did come up with a domain name development plan and stop buying, right?

Two schools of thought above for me (luckily I have voices in my head telling me both versions.)  Which you choose to believe will probably determine how well your 2011 online efforts turn out.  So, why don’t you write down what you want to accomplish this coming year as if you were sitting in the middle of December NEXT year and writing what you have accomplished online with either selling domain names, developing websites, or some other way to make money online.  Here’s mine:

“It is almost 2011 and I can’t believe how good a year it has been! 

• I finally made the turn and quit buying too many domains
• I started developing some decent sites for long term development efforts
• I flipped 10 domains for $10,000 profit
• I sold 10 domain names for $5,000 profit
• My best site is getting over 10,000 uniques per month
• My 10 best performing domains are each making over $100 per month and they are on autopilot now.
• I didn’t do one thing that spurs a “you know what this idot noob did to me?” post from Shane.  It is quite possible I have violated every one of his posts like that – I’ve read and learned enough now that hopefully I won’t do it again, but maybe I’ll invent something new he hasn’t seen this year
• I got on Morgan’s site because of some great development or partnership effort that is totally cool.
• I have a great plan for 2012 and I’m taking the rest of the year off, except maybe picking up some decent domains while everyone else is relaxing during the holidays…

“

That is quite a wonderful list of accomplishments and I have a plan to make it happen!  It is going to be a great 2011!

Now, JUST DO IT!

Since I didn’t die yet and I still have some domain names I guess I need to evaluate how I did living yesterday and those three goals…  They were to:

     1) Finish a book review
     2) Get some articles written for a new site
     3) Send some emails on sites and domains to flip

Well, I didn’t make them all, but there is at least a good reason…  I started working on the book review again and it was so good that I ended up reading it all and then had to start back reviewing it.  Made good headway and I should finish tonight.  Good thing is that it will change how I was going to do the other two tasks…

The book I’m reviewing is on domain name flipping and it is from a guy named Morgan Linton.   It is due to be released soon so go pick it up.  Until it is released, you should REALLY go over and spend some time on his site, www.MorganLinton.com and learn as much as you can.  He is one of the more “real” people you will find on the net discussing domains, development and building an online business.

If you are just getting into domaining or trying to make money online then the book I’m reviewing is for you and you should really go pick it up – it will save you a LOT of time and wasted money.

If you have been buying domain names and just “collecting” them (ie not selling many) then the book I’m reviewing is for you as well – you may know some of the concepts, but it is clear and very plain on what you should do.

Now remember, you will die, so go do this now.
