Cool WordPress Theme

A very interesting WordPress theme design, the girl image weights the most in the overall design layout. The way it’s positioned blends in very well with other elements, from a designer point of view it’s definitely above the good level, however, from the business point of view I can see that there’s a number of issues. The obvious one would be the use of colours, the difference between foreground and background isn’t great enough and this can be tiring reader’s eyes. And to make the matter worst the designer has used a very small font size.

Overall I think it’s very good piece of “art”, perfect for personal use, but it certainly not something that I would consider for business use.

Autobiography Book Partnership

The author of this book is asking for XXXX amount of money in return for 20% lifetime ownership of this book. I’ve never read any books in this genre before, after reading the sample chapter I was surprised that I actually found it to be a quite interesting read. One thing I know for sure is that he’s a good writer! So now, the business talk, the question I need to ask is that will this book sell? what’s the ratio of demand and quantity for this type of book at the moment? also, more importantly what’s the maximum I should fork out for that 20%? I think the way I can find out the answer to those questions is go and do some market research….

I don’t know why but I seem to have a good feeling about this book.

Invest In 3 Characters Domain Names

According to this guide 3 Letter .com and .net domain names pricing are going up by about 25% every month! What surprised me is that nnn.com($6700) is now worth more than lll.com($6400), wish I bought 10 of them back in 1997…

It’s almost impossible to find any lll.com or nnn.com today, even if you can find them they’ll be on the 10k mark. So instead of going after the “hot” cakes right now I thought I’d go find the ones that not so hot right now but will be “hot” in a few years from now.

I started looking at ones mixed with letters and numbers, for example – ty5.com. Depending on the combination they’re around $200 for .com and $40 for .net, which is a reasonable amount for investments like this. 4 lettter domains are also worth invest in, if it’s pronounceable it’s almost certain that it will worth more in the future.

The two places I normally go to find high value domains are forums like digitalpoint, NamePros and eBay.
