Embracing My Weaknesses As Strengths

I’m sure that I have written here before about my weaknesses, I try to do that at PAL a lot anyways, since it’s a public way to slap myself into reality and try to focus on the goals and tasks at hand. While I still think clearly defined goals and good work ethic towards them is still the surest path to affiliating successfully I have found a few ways to embrace my weaknesses as strengths.

I launch too many websites, on too many subjects, and way too many domains. I have a tough time focusing on one project at a time. I have found that by allowing myself an hour to throw up a quick website a day, I can cure that “itch” to launch new sites. I’ve also justified this by realizing that a domain becomes more valuable as it indexes and ages, so to justify my domain buying habit I make sure to get any good domain up with one page as fast as possible. Want examples? I’m happy to “point” them out (Most of them are in the poker deposits niche).

Poker Deposit Bonuses – This is a great .org domain that I’ve had tucked away in one of my accounts for a few months. I wish I had put one page a week on it instead of optimizing a few other sites for the term. Now that I have a much bigger developing budget compared to six months ago, I will try to filter in purchased content from a few quality writers for this domain to improve.

Poker SNG – a great .net that I really look forward to developing, I had a few random sit and go strategy articles in my inbox that I hadn’t currently used, so this website in it’s four page glory took me just a few minutes of work to put up.

Golf Betting – I’m wanting to improve my golf game, so spending $30 on a piece of content from a good writer helped me justify buying this domain. Now that is up and aging, it is gaining some value over time and I will be able to use it to leverage some other domains in the niche in a few months after it gains some trust.

Online Casino Site – this .com is definately a site I plan on putting some energy into in the near future, I (0ver)paid almost $2,000 for the domain because I’ve come to the belief that regardless of the power of a .org or .net to perform in the serps, in the coming social search environment the value of a .com that matches any type of phrase will increase quite a bit.  For now it’s one growing page until I free up more time.

Blackjack Bonuses – I really should NOT have launched this domain, since I own Blackjack Bonus that needs serious improvement.  I guess it’s a reasonable investment to pay someone $25 and slap it up for later, but my time could have been put to better use without a doubt.

I put up even more domains that that in the last week, but I’ll choose to write a second post for those.  Bottom line, I “need” this time to be myself, the full blown ADD/OCD dude that I am.  I find that by embracing this weakness, I actually can gain quite a bit of value from my portfolio.  Plus, it’s almost like gambling in that you never knew when a domain will do really well suddenly which will help me steer future investments to the projects with the most potential.
