Yesterday I had the opportunity of being interviewed for Moniker’s Domain Master radio show by Victor Pitts. We discussed information about my first conference and the domain industry’s first conference on a boat, DNCruise.com.

Thank you to Victor Pitts, Moniker and Webmaster Radio.

On Friday I announced my first domain name sales newsletter was going out on Monday of which I asked for domain submissions. Well, I received around 90 emails with about 1,000 domain names for consideration. I still have not had the opportunity to sort through them all.

I wanted to share with everyone the first newsletter to show the range of deals and domain names. Listed were domain names from $300 to $25,000. If any of these domain names interest you just click on the name and either post sold or your best offer.

This will be the first and only time I post the newsletter. The second newsletter will come out this Thursday so make sure to sign up. To sign up simply enter your email address on the form located to the top right of this blog.

No weekly video today and probably not again until February. As I have shared previously, I am attending three conferences (Affiliate Summit, T.R.A.F.F.I.C. and DOMAINfest) within the next 14 days.  I am currently on a flight to Los Angeles catching up on emails. That’s right, I’m on an airplane right now. Delta flights have WiFi service available for $12.95, which is worth it for me to catch up on some work. Because of this, I strongly suggest flying Delta.

I’m excited to be attending these functions. The itineraries for all of them look great. I’m also excited to see everyone that I already know and meet new people I haven’t met yet. Of course I’ll be reporting everything and sharing pics, so make sure to check back to keep up to speed with what’s going on at the events.

2009 is over and honestly, not soon enough. I’ll be the first to admit that 2009 was not my best financial year ever. 2009 is the year that I completely let go of physical real estate to focus on virtual real estate. This was not an easy decision, because I loved real estate. During the prime days of physical real estate it was not unheard of for me to bring in six figures in a single month. Such has not happened on the virtual side, yet. I know that with anything new it takes time and patience.

Domaining for me started mid 2008. I purchased a couple thousand domain names with no clue of what I was doing. I made some money and lost some money. 2009 was the year of a lot of low-end domain sales and more importantly, study. This blog became a business, earning several thousand dollars every month from advertising. Between the blog’s income and domain sales it allowed me to kind of sit back, study, learn from the ground up and make some incredible connections.

I want to thank everyone in the domaining community, because without your support I wouldn’t be here. I want you all to know that 2010 is going to be a BIG year for Chef Patrick. I will be launching a domain brokerage service, several development projects and I will also be announcing a very special domain conference that I have planned for the end of 2010. Most of these plans will be carried out within the first quarter of 2010, so make sure you stay tuned to see what I’m up to!

Between working on a couple projects for 2010 and the kids being off of school for the holidays I haven’t been blogging much. That will change tomorrow! I’ll be back with my weekly news video and then a couple 2009 blog posts over the weekend. In the mean time, Happy New Year!!!
