Blog marketing and squidoo marketing are my stronger skill sets. A vice of mine is collecting domain names. What is even worse is I buy them with good intentions and really do not have the time to optimize them for affiliate marketing or establishing them for creating an Internet presence.

I have over 500 domains in my portfolio that I need to do something with or sell. I have a few real good ones like USVisaCards.com and onlinecarpricing.com that are sitting idle doing nothing. So I will take a closer look at some of the domain parking services and the resell market if nothing more than to cover my renewal cost.

Thanks Randy for taking the time to reach out to me.  You have inspired me to try to put some of these domains to good use.

I recommend the following sources to purchase domains from:

• Register your domain at Yahoo! Only $1.99/1st yr.



• Find, Buy & Sell Domain Names with Godaddy

Do not buy hosting at the same place you buy domains I will explain the reasons why in a later article.

Net you will need hosting. Hosting is where your website lives. That is where all of the information resides that makes your website shine. Really the only place to get hosting for people just starting out is Hostgator. There are many options but the reseller package is the most optimal for making money online. You can host unlimited sites on a reseller account. Eventually you will probably upgrade to a dedicated server but for now just getting started a reseller plan for $24.95 a month is all you need. Get hosting here Reseller Hosting Starting at $24.95!

Your total cost for getting set will be between $27 and $34 dollars depending on which domain supplier you use. I prefer godaddy personally and use them for the bulk of my domain purchases. However yahoo does have good pricing and I have used them before. Their renewal rates are higher. Remember we are building sites for the long term so if you can afford to do it I would recommend using godaddy and register for as long of a period as you can afford.

Tomorrow I will explain more on how to set up a wordpress blog and give you pointers on picking out your first niche and how to start looking for ways to generate cash.. Also I will have step by step instructions on setting dns and using whm to create your sites. For now just call me or send me an IM to bwk_wcp using yahoo messenger to let me guide you one on one.
