Thanks for your work on the blog!

Steve, I would like for visitors to list quality Geo domains for sale that make sense to develop. Geopreneurs are skeptical at this stage and have not submitted any names. As the blog continues to grow, quality names for development will be listed. Your friend can list a wanted ad in the Geopreneur Networking section to have sellers contact him with their properties available if he wishes.

I see a lot of stuff I would like to read. Do you have any domains listed for sale right now?

Gig ‘em Ags!

Steve

Steve,

Thanks for visiting the blog. Currently there are no names listed for sale. I will eventually get to listing a few names in the near future. There is still alot of work to be done to the blog to get it to standard. If you are interested in something, let me know and I will post it, and let owners present their inventory.

I look forward to your interaction.

If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were actively developing a geodomain yourself?

I’ve been thinking about a logo, and whether to spend big, or simply pay a student for a $100 logo (a gamble - could be awesome)…

I think with a bit of research and a high quality brief… the result could well be a decent logo that pays dividends.

The key lesson here - is understanding the details first…

…the following is possibly one of the best wikipedia articles I’ve read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo

Thanks for exploring the topic…

Rich,

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. I am in the process of mapping out my development of SouthCongress.com (Hottest Spot In Austin, Tx). So, yes I am in a development phase.(Also writing articles on the backburner to post later on this) I am not the type of guy who likes to do a 50% job on anything I do. I think it is very important to produce a well thought out game plan before development occurs physically on any site that will produce revenue and represent a region. Additionally, I am conducting alot of research to ensure I do it right, so there is minimal things to “tweak” once the site is live. Anyone can put a site up with adsense, third party bookings, and pictures, but in the end, these developers are the ones consistently scrambling to add value to the site for consumers.(No real game plan)

I love sharing the information I learn, so others can benefit from the research I have discovered. I believe in teamwork 100%, no sense in recreating the wheel and having others struggle to find what they need to know. What I have learned in my career is if you develop a game plan thouroughly, you stay focused on the project and keep from being deviated by the many ideas that will come into your head. There will be many articles to come on this subject.

The price you pay for a logo makes no difference on the quality or effectiveness it will transmit to your consumers. There are thousands of companies that pay millions of dollars for a logo, that suck. Federal Express paid $2 million dollars for an arrow to be inserted into their logo. You can’t see it unless it is pointed out to you. Dumb money spent(Video is on the blog under branding). The answer lies in the data I have provided in the branding posts whether the logo will be effective or not. It is not about the price you pay for logo that will determine if it is great, but the messge it delivers to consumers. Nike paid $35.00 for their logo that is just as effective now as it was in the 70’s.
