Simon Johnson Launches Personal Blog – But Its Not .com

After more than 20 years online, I’ve decided to launch my personal blog and “get back on the bike”.

What Does This Mean For DomainerIncome ?

Our domain investment blog on DomainerIncome, will continue to cover some of the really innovative (and very cool stuff) we are doing in this sector. We have a very active development cycle and are working on some category killer services and applications right now – so stay tuned.

Our TV show at DomainerIncome.TV will focus more on the domaining industry, with high quality, indepth coverage that you just can’t get anywhere else.

SimonJohnson.CO

A couple of people have already asked the question, “Why .CO” ? The answer is simply because .com was unavailable. While I do own a number of domains with my name in them, there is an Aussie gourmet food company (with the same name) that owns the .com; in fact many people incorrectly assume that I own the company! Unfortunately, not – I can’t sell you organic italian pasta sauce, sundried tomatoes or olive oil (even though my name is on all of them).

From an IM point of view, its going to be interesting to see how the .co ranks against the other “simon johnson’s”…. and you thought one was enough!

My personal blog at http://www.simonjohnson.co already contains a number of somewhat embarrassing snapshots from sites and posts I made in the early 1990′s. Head on over and check them out!

Domainer Income TV Episode 2 – This Is BIG !

This episode is HUGE – both in content and length! It’s one of the longest episodes we have recorded (29 mins), and its so big we had to split it up into two parts – just to fit on YouTube.

For the second half of the video click here. If you use an iPhone or iPad, subscribe to our domaining channel on iTunes and you can download the entire episode.

Episode 2 is jam packed full of wisdom from two experienced domain investors that are known the world over. I’m talking about Michael and David Castello.

I know you will want to watch this episode straight away, but I’d strongly encourage you to get a pen and paper, because you will be taking down a LOT of notes. I also have no doubt, that many people who are new to domaining and buying / selling web sites will have a new perspective on the industry after watching this episode.

Please feel free to leave a comment and let us know what you learned from it.

Brief Introduction To Domainer Income – Video

Over the past few days, people have written to me asking for two things.

1. A brief overview of Domainer Income

2. Specific details on different parts of the system.

The reality is, Domainer Income has so many advanced features, we simply cant squeeze into a short video. So I’m going to do a series of videos, focusing on specific features and how YOU can PROFIT from them.

I have just posted this general overview up on Youtube.

I love hearing your feedback, so please leave a comment and let me know what you would like to see.
