Once in a while I find myself complaining about the actions of someone I am dealing with in my business or the idiot that made me late in traffic etc… and after reaching a rational calm state I realize that my success is not dependent on the actions or lack of actions of others around me. Sure, there are obstacles that make it more difficult to carry out your activities, such as that idiot at the restaurant or at the laundry mat etc… but this is normal. These people can throw obstacles in your path but I am sure you agree they do not appear all the time non stop. The formula to constantly beat these obstacles are 2 things. One is to realize that they are temporary and 2 that there is always light around the corner. Just like your luck always runs out at some point so does your bad luck.

I saw a statement about making money online a few weeks ago that said “you get out what you put in. Well, you probably heard that before but I mention this because the keyword there is “You”. Your business started with you and it can only end with you. Don’t blame it on your ex, your landlord, your hosting company or your competition. If on the other hand you’re to lazy to combat the obstacles then maybe you’re in the wrong profession. I have never felt more in control of my destiny since I started my online business ventures. This is quite a different feeling then when I was working for others living paycheck to paycheck.

To conclude, remind yourself that while others can delay or throw obstacles in your way, you are in control of where you end up.

Famous quote: The decisions you make determine the life that you lead

You may have seen a pink warning in your adwords account that as of April 1 you are no longer allowed to display or use a domain url that is not your real  domain.  Many online marketers have been using this effectively to split test and get higher CTR or Click Through Rates. Essentially getting more clicks for the same money therefore more profit.  Unfortunately, most have been doing it by entering any keywords they seem fit in the domain even domains that don’t exist and then just redirecting you to their real other domain.  Well, as of April 1, 2008 you can no longer do this. If you want to keep doing this you’re going to have to use a real registered domain that is yours.

There are certain keywords in the domain that get clicked on much more then others so if you can figure that out, register the domain and find some adwords advertiser in the field you could make very decent coin registering and selling domains.

In my opinion this will definitely change the way domains are valued. Unless your domain is generic and short or 3 or 4 characters you won’t sell it for more then a few hundred dollars however if you find a domain keyword that gets good CTR it would easily be worth  $1000 or much more to the right google advertiser. Remember there are Adwords advertisers making well over 6 figures monthly so they won’t mind spending a few thousand for something that will up their profits.
