2 January - Ok ok ok.. I’m blogging again
Instead of nudging me a million times, you people should simply comment on my blog posts so I know people are reading :p ;).
Anyways, just a bit of an update as to what’s happening with me and my sites.
BattleForums.com
I have just launched the brand new forum skin, and the members love it! The visitor-to-member conversion rate went up through the roof, and activity has shot up as well. The portal page is still being worked on. Everything is working except for the news post system, which will be done in a couple of days max. I also have a few viral campaign ideas lined up to really make our mark.
However, with the new skin, revenue has turned to 0. I guess I’ll have to implant a couple of advertisements when I get the time. I registered with Vibrant Media since I heard quite a bit of good things about them. Well, I got accepted and was sent a whole stack of paperwork to fill out. It’s been over a month and we’re still not set up (can’t say there was a lack of communication though). I guess they really take their publishers seriously.
LiveTV.ws
There might not be a lot of things going on on the outside, but we’ve been busy little bees on the back stage. A couple of programmers and I have been working our @$$É$ off for the past couple of weeks, adding brand new features to the ever-growing Social Television Network. LiveTV.ws is inches away from the big 20k members milestone, and it’s still going strong.
RayKu.com
Still need to find Mr. Adam Flynn to get an update…
Misc
I did a small test-launch of my DigitalThrone ebook, and the results were great. I received a good amount of feedback on how to improve my ebook. It’ll take awhile to address them all, but hopefully, I can have version two launched and ready for sale by mid January. Currently, I am giving away a free e-course on the DigitalThrone.com website to make up for the wait. Check it out!
Till next time,
Donny
PS, please comment!
Good work on the Battle Forums. It’s amazing how much difference a new look can make. It really does have a great look and feel.
Good work on growing your LiveTV site too. It’s very impressive and must take a lot of serious time and effort. To be honest, the pop-up on the homepage is a big turnoff for me although I’m sure it’s making you good money.
Congrats on the success of the DT ebook test launch. I hope your full launch is even more successful.
Are you a girl?? because you sound like one…
Looks like things are going well for you now.
I wish you would just update your blog more often as I find it muck more interesting then many other webmasters out there.
Buy Websites: Thank you very much. Hopefully, when I get the chance to place the adsense ads on the site, it will replace the pop-unders :).
konito: I’d like to think so…
Evan: Haha will do will do.
Hey Donny!!
Very impressive accomplishments you have made over the last year.
I saw a post on the Justin Brooke / Russell Brunson web site SiteFlipAcademy.com about you and was very intrigued to learn more about your very ambitious (and successful) endeavors.
Your success has given me new inspiration to continue working on my 932 domains (402 of which are Dot Com’s).
I believe I have some pretty good domain names (and of course, some not so great) and I keep coming up with more domain ideas daily. (btw, I really like your domains/websites I’ve seen so far!!)
However, until I can get some cashflow going with what I’ve already got, I must severely limit my urges to register new domain names.
I read your interview post at http://kinkarso.com/blog/interview/ and your advice about outsourcing most (if not all) of the technical work on your web sites re-enforces the lessons I’ve learned the hard way by trying to do everything all by myself.
However, until I get some cashflow going, I still must do it all on my own in the meantime.
There are days when the amount of things I need to do seems insurmountable and extremely overwhelming (especially with the constant pressure of the need for revenue to keep things going).
But, your accomplishments give me hope that I too may be able to get to the point of drawing a steady, growing stream of income from my web sites.
Keep up the good work!!
I look forward to reading more of your new blog posts.
Thanks for all you are doing, it is a real inspiration to me!!
