At the moment, I have two main web sites. The Cafetorium is the place where I sell eBooks and software. At the moment, most of the products I sell from this site are 3rd-party products. I'll be adding more of my own once I get all my other projects established.
The next site is Dryice Computing. The plan for this site is to sell only my own software products. At the moment, it carries only one of my own products, and one 3rd-party product. I plan to replace the 3-rd party product with an improved version that I'm creating myself.
I'm now setting up a 3rd website. This has two main purposes. The first is that it's an experimental area where I can try out marketing techniques, and sell products that don't fit in with my main sites. It's likely to use hard-sell techniques similar to those used by the Internet Marketing "gurus", pushing hyped-up, high-price items.
The second purpose is totally mercenary - to make money. I figured that if I can successfully push products that sell for $67 (about £34) upwards I might as well really go for it.
My plan is to make at least as much money as I make in my day job from this site, and preferably 10% more. I really like the idea of going to work (I really like my day job, by the way) with the secret that I actually earn more money from my websites than I do from my job.
It's what I call financial security. If I was made redundant, or the company went under, I'd just shrug it all off.
To go along with the theme of making lots of money, I've set up the site Unmarked Bills. It's just a blog at the moment, but that's just to get the domain Googled. The blog will be moving over to a sub-domain, while the main promotions take over the domain home.
