Last December the earning were just below 1500 euro so this is good enough. December is a slow month normally but I also sold 2 paid posts for 420 euro each. Good and easy money for publishing a written post. Last year I also sold 2 in December. A good additional income for sure. I did sold another paid post for 260 euro to a client that already bought some last year. Making up for 1100 euro on paid posts in December. A very nice additional income.

I have to say this is not normal, it happened last December and now again, guess people want to spend money to lower their tax burden. I don’t know.

Did make another 160 euro with affiliate marketing. The total amount for December is almost 3000 euro. Pretty nice money.

New year, new plans

Good intentions, I had them last year but didn’t work out really. For this year I will make it happen. I already started a new site last week that I want to build up this year. Have some other GREAT domains (in my eyes) that deserve development as well.

The website I started last week has a domain I bought for 1800 euro. I already got an offer of 3000 euro to sell it but I declined. They money is in development and if I can make a few hundred a month out of it, it will be already worth 3000 euro quickly. My plan is to make it a website about money, income, business etc.

Another domain I bought for 1500 euro last year also needs development. The domains are .nl and will create the sites in Dutch. Good plans with good names, hope they will succeed.

Domains

I had over 140 domain names which are eating up quite some money every year on renewals. I went through the list and got rid of almost 50 of them. Now there are 92 domains left on my name. This is a good start but I want to get it back to 50/60 in total.

Buying and selling domain names is an option to make some extra money online. Although most good domains are already years registered you can snap up quite good names for a few bucks on webmaster forums / marketplaces. Most of the times I buy a domain with an idea to develop. But as you might guess, that idea will soon be collecting dust or i’m not getting the motivation to get things done. I’m working on the motivational thing though, more on that later…

€120 profit with zero work

The domain I bought set me back €140 and I bought it on a domain auction site. There were a couple of other bidders that drove the price a bit up. It was a pretty generic term in the web hosting business and actually was trademarked. The plan was to build a review kind of site about web hosting but I decided to sell it off as I have much more domains and old sites that need my time. I ended up selling it at a webmaster forum for €260.

Yesterday I bought another domain for €50 which has an exact search of 22,000 monthly for the term. It is in the recipe niche and this domain will be developed into a website. More on that later.
