Today I bought a website from another fella (hmm I don’t usually say fella in real life) for $275. The site in I’m referring to is a small automated ebay affiliate site that sells bonsai trees. It doesn’t get a whole lot of traffic, and I probably could of put the site together myself in mere minutes..so why did I pay $275 for it? Simple..the site is established. The domain has been slightly aged, it has a few back links, it makes $20 or $30 a month, and it ranks for a few terms in the search engines. Sure..I could of done all this myself in just a few weeks time - but time is one thing of mine that’s limited. So..in essence I’m paying $275 in order to save myself nothing but time. Time as they say, is money (I don’t agree with that 100% but I’ll save that for later).

The site I bought is www.BonsaiForSale.com. If you take a look at it you’ll see it’s nothing special..just a simple site with a turnkey ebay script. However, a closer look reveals that the domain can rank for some very good terms with very little work. Now, I have some experience with buying and selling websites in the past and it can be a very lucrative business. Only time will tell whether or not I will resell the bonsai site, but I will be sure to share all my strategies I employ to turn it into a successful site. With any luck it will turn a profit and we’ll both learn from it.

Worst case scenario is I lose my $275 and waste some time. I’m willing to bet though that I can either a) make it profitable, or b) learn something worth $275 in the process of trying to make it profitable

Either way I’m a winner. So stick with me and see what happens to the wee little bonsai site in the grand haystack we call the world wide web.

So I just got back from a 6 week outing north of Yellowknife NWT. I was up in the winter road camp working on a diamond mine project putting up some new towers for landlines. After working in the 24 hour sun, getting eaten alive by bugs and otherwise enjoying myself I’m home again. I’ve been taking this time off to sort out my plans for my venture back into the online world. I also took a few days to go on a climbing trip to Ghost River…which was a great experience.

In case you’re wondering, the north is well..not quite what I expected. Crystal clear lakes are scattered in every direction, seperated by distinct esters that mark glacial rivers that flowed long ago. Rock bluffs appear out of nowhere and the old lines from the winter road were still visible on the ice when we first arrived in June. I even managed to get some rock climbing in..who would of thought. I pictured a barren flat tundra with little plant or wildlife. At least part of my expectations were accurate - there wasn’t a lot of wild life to be seen.

Anyhow, expect to see numerous updates with upcoming projects, as well as new posts that I have tucked away and will be revealing soon. I have now officially decided to commit myself to this blog and my ongoing projects.

Let the games begin!
