Ever type boingboing.com to try to access boingboing.net? You get to a parked site. I just wondered how much that domain cost. Thats a nice piece of internet real estate to have.

i’ve been reading in forums that its probably easy making 2 dollars here and 3 dollars there. thats probably the greatest thing about the internet. micro deals happen all the time. anyone with a computer and a internet connection can set up a website and take payments via paypal. go on forums and start building a reputation and slowly but surely you will start generating income. Its not a truck load of money but its a start. Sites like johnchow and shoemoney are extraordinary sites that started early and became the go to places for learning to blog for money. Its gonna be hard trying to emulate their success. I doubt they could copy their own success if they had to do it all over again.

word to bloggers. wordpress is a great blogging platform but there are alot of different options when developing a website. “make money online” is a hard niche to compete in especially if you are a noob. because i am a noob i didn’t realize this. i will focus my energies on another niche with this blog.

I’ve now discovered how hard it is to start a blog from scratch. I was planning on buying a blog but opted to wait until i got the hang of things. Im somewhat familiar with wordpress now and have all of affiliates and forum regs set up so its time for me to go and buy an established blog. I have a budget of around $1000. Expecting a PR of at least 2 and readership over 150. There should be traffic already and a revenue stream. It doesn’t have to be alot. The general rule is that the purchase price of a blog is 10 times the monthly revenue so that’s what i want. If anyone can refer me to a blot i would pay them a finder fee. Real estate transactions give 3% so i’ll give the person who finds me the perfect blog to buy a 3% commission. Please leave the stats of the blog and information on comments. Thanks

entrepretainer is a made up name. i just made it up right now. i think its important to joke around. maybe this blog won’t seem so professional but i think it will be interesting. Business is not about the suit and tie. its a new age and alot of the world’s billionaires have changed. the image we have of millionaire ceos are not the stiff suit wearing republican types of yesteryear. they are now the designer jean and black t shirt wearing dot com moguls.

anyway…going back to entrepretainer. damn i just googled entrepreneur and found some something disappointing. seems there already is an entrepretainer. his name is marcus johnson. damn i thought i was dishing some clever wordplay too. goes to show that there is nothing original on the internet. lets face it. the internet is new and all but everything is still about selling. sell ad space, sell via affiliates, sell product or services. its just has to appear to be something new and original and you got a winner. you can copy a site and become successful. lets face it, myspace coppied friendster and facebook copied myspace. youtube wasn’t really original. they had flash video user site already.

went off an a tangent again. back to entrepreneur. since im a noob and still learning this game. i can’t really offer advice and tips everyday. i could be it wouldn’t really be good advice, it would be second and third sourced. i want to be able to give first hand advice. so to keep people coming back to my site i will have to entertain. i think all bloggers have to entertain. its an important part of adult life to be able to tell mad jokes. not HA HA jokes, but seinfeld type jokes. stories really.

being able to tell a story and keep the listener interested is a skill that is detrimental in grownup life. in business you have to give a great pitch. with the opposite sex you have to give off a great vibe.

not everyone can tell interesting stories. not all of us are blessed. but one thing about us is that we have adapted for millions of years. we adapt so well its sick. we are all capable of changing and practicing to become better at something. anything.
