Flipping Websites

Website Buying Tips #1

TradeDemon — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 17:45:08 +0000

Following up from my last post it seems people got quite excited about the three sites I picked up in January 2009; not only was the response a positive one but it was great to hear the enthusiasm and excitement in peoples emails. Now despite the positive feedback one issue which did plague most [...]

Buying Websites In A Credit Crunch

TradeDemon — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 20:46:23 +0000

It’s true, we’re in a recession, the economy has gone into a never ending slump and many are doing what most clever investors and business owners never do; that’s selling up and off loading your websites and domains during what is possibly one of the worst times to do so. The websites I’m talking about aren’t [...]

Namedrive Review

If you’ve read some of the articles I posted earlier this year regarding the subject of domaining you’ll know that the subject has not only drawn me in but has continued to become a greater part of my online earnings. Domaining in its simplest terms is about buying domains and then parking them with a domain [...]

The Wallpaper Directory

TradeDemon — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 20:45:28 +0000

Following on from my last post, I’m going to take some time to discuss a rather unconventional project I started six months ago. The reason I call it unconventional is because it’s not a single website rather a collection of related wallpaper sites combined to form an overall network. The sheer scale of the project [...]

I Love This Blog, Really I Do

The above is no joke, when I first started this blog I knew the articles were going to be fresh and distinctive. I knew people would enjoy my writing style and may even stand to learn something from the case studies I offered. This blog was going to be special, unfortunately somewhere along the lines [...]

Buying Your Domain Names Cheaper

I’m currently writing the second part to the signaturebar story but I’m a little stuck so I thought I’d share a quick post on where I pick up domains at very good prices. The registrars I’m going to talk about are fully ICANN accredited (i.e. they’re not resellers) and more so offer some extremely cool [...]

Domaining - The Dark Arts

TradeDemon — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 11:26:16 +0000

Ok so the title is a little misleading but the whole subject of expired domains, domain parking, domain tasting and everything else associated with being a domainer is a bit of a black box to me. I say this because in my experience it’s a niche which is not only exclusive to a select few thousand [...]

The SignatureBar Story - Part 1

TradeDemon — Fri, 16 May 2008 13:46:31 +0000

Signaturebar.com cost me $900 back in July 2006 and was one of the first sites to enter my investment portfolio. In fact back then it wasn’t much of a portfolio or a business just a single website purchased with the intention to redevelop (a purely experimental endeavour at the time). During my ownership the site underwent multiple [...]

Demons & The 1st Post

TradeDemon — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 17:19:07 +0000

As a programmer I should have started my first post with “Hello World” but due to the nature of the site and the demon branding I thought I would atleast explain why I chose a demon as my mascot. The truth is I’ve always thought demons were cool, I love science fiction and as a child spent [...]
