This is an affiliate program like none-other.

What makes their affiliate program different than the others?

• If you refer someone to sell their domain name on PremiumDomains.com you will earn 20% of the sales commission. I don’t know anyone else doing this!
• If you refer the buyer of a premium domain name you get paid 60% of the sales commission. Again, I don’t know anyone offering this high of a commission on a domain sale!

The next question you’re asking is probably how do you join? The answer is visit PremiumDomains.com and submit to become an affiliate.

I told my wife last night that my friend Morgan Linton of Domainvestors.tv is going to attempt something that, to my knowledge, has never been done before, which is to get a domain related TV show on air. My wife looked at me and said, “Who would watch that?”. I admit, I raised my hand and said me. Depending on the format and what’s involved I’d definetly be interested in watching a domain investing related show and I’m sure there are others out there as well.

When I say TV show I mean a REAL TV SHOW, not online streaming video. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to say this but Morgan is spending thousands of dollars to do this the right way. He is having a theme song created by a local band, hiring a professional video crew and flying his first guest to California to be on the show. I know Morgan, and when he sets his goals on something he does everything he can to accomplish it.

Yesterday Morgan announced that he is looking for his first guest. In fact he is letting YOU pick that guest. I need your help, I want to be the first guest! Please visit this link and leave a comment suggesting Chef Patrick to be the first guest. Thank you in advance for your help.

I received an email from “PayPal” asking me to login to my account and update my records or it may be suspended. PayPal is very important to my business and a tool I use every day. Because of this I take emails and messages very serious. Looking at the email something didn’t look right. Instead of an email from @PayPal.com it was @Pay.fr. I don’t know about you but if it’s not a dot com I have my doubts.

What to look for when receiving an email from PayPal

PayPal will always use your first and last name or business name in any emails. So if any of the emails are addressed to “User” or “Member” do not click any links. Also, if the link in the email brings you directly to a site that requires sensitive information like your bank account, credit card or social security number do not enter anything. PayPal will never bring you directly to a page like this.

What I do when receiving an email like this is login directly to my account using PayPal.com and see if there are any alerts or messages that require my attention. If there is something important enough that needs your attention they will post a message in plain site.

After going through your precautionary steps, if you find the email is indeed fraudulent forward it to spoof@paypal.com. They have a department that will work to shut those people down.

Two more pieces of advice:

Get a PayPal Security Key which is an electronic device designed to be carried on a key ring. It creates a random 6 digit security code every 30 seconds. This is to be used with your password for double security. The cost is only $5 but the extra security is priceless. Thanks again to  Reece Berg of LLLL.com for turning me on to this last year.

Change your passwords frequently, make them difficult to replicate and do not use the same one for all of your accounts. Read more tips on ElliotsBlog.com and Microsoft.com (both link to password articles).

Take your security serious. As hard as you work to make the money, there is someone working harder to steal it.

Monday I posted Domain Name Renewal Scams and what steps to take in order to protect yourself. One of the steps is to verify you own the domain name in question. For myself I keep a spreadsheet that logs all of my names, sales and drops. Since posting the article I have had several requests via comments and email for my spreadsheet.

You asked for it so here it is. Click download to get a copy of my domain name Excel spreadsheet.

The spreadsheet is not going to win any design awards and honestly this is not something I created for the masses. It is a simple Excel spreadsheet that allows me to track purchases, sales and dropped domains. For the download I input a few example domain names just to show how it works. Of course you’ll want to delete those and replace with your own data.

The excel spreadsheet was created using Microsoft Office 2003. I am not sure of the compatibility with other Office versions. Because I did not create this for the masses I will not be offering much support. I will answer some simple questions but nothing too complex. Having said that the spreadsheet is completely free and you can do with it whatever you’d like. I take that back, please do not redistribute it elsewhere.

I know there are paid services and spreadsheets on the market. Because I have not used any of them I cannot suggest or recommend any.

One piece of advice I will give with Excel and the spreadsheet is utilization of data sorting. If you are not familiar with Excel you can click data on the menu bar then select sort. Using this function you can sort by the different headings. For example if you would like to see all of your expiring domain names simply sort by expiration date or if you have a client looking for a specific type of domain name you can sort by category.

I hope this helps and if there are any questions please post them in comments for everyone to reference.
