A survey of JMMO readers’ involvement in making money online showed that majority are doing this only on a part-time (or less) basis. So, it made me wonder what everyone does in their “day jobs”? What exactly do you do when you’re not trying to make money online? Image Source: Microsoft Stock Photo; Edits: Shai…
DIY Domain Cash Parking on Chitika
One of the things I’ve started to learn more about lately is domain cash parking. And, ever since I blogged about it, I realised that it’s a subject that a lot of people want to learn more about. But, other than the usual suspects with domain cash parking services (Sedo, Godaddy, etc), I wanted to…

Will You Invest in .ME?
There’s a new domain extension in town! Yes, the extension .ME has arrived recently. New extensions don’t usually excite me, since I’m mostly a .com kind of domain purchaser. And, I’ve only experimented with .net, .tv, .info, and .biz before. I generally avoid purchasing alternative domain extensions. However, today, I’ve decided to give .ME a…
