Webmaster Blog by Keral Patel

By the time you will see this the post itself will be around 20 days old. Recently I announced that I will be regular in posting on my blog with atleast one post per week. So had to come up with this trick to set future blog posts. It allows a blogger to post on his blog with future dates and the blog post will only go live on that particular date.

I was not feeling very good tonight. So just came online at 3:00 A.M. and started reading RSS feeds of some blogs that I have subscribed. I came across a post where one experienced domainer was blogging about his love towards his domain names and how he lost a fortune with it. I had myself been in similar position in past. Around the end of 2007 one of my sites was performing so well that it started making me 1800 USD per month. I thought it was a nice income without me doing anything or any further promotions. I also got offers in 10K range for that site. But then who cares for 10K when you will make that much in 6 months yourself and also be able to keep the site with you for rest of your life.

I had been planning this from many months but sometimes my clients are very choosy and sometimes I am very choosy. I was also hesitant about time management.

But in end I am very happy to say that I have found 2 new companies that have hired me as their webmaster. I just left the older companies and got a nice slab of time totally free for myself so I was able to accommodate this 2 new companies in my schedule. Payments are nice that’s for sure.
