Selling Other People’s Stuff for Massive Profits (Not)

I have been running hobbyist websites for over a decade, as my interest in something grows, I feel the desire to share, but as my interest wains, well, I have a graveyard of old expired domains and sites on old Zip disks and floppies somewhere.

I’ve birthed (and sometimes) buried sites on:

  • SEO and SEM
  • Speculative Fiction
  • DOS BASIC Coding
  • Retro Computing
  • Gaming
  • Men’s Philosophy

Now, with just a few sites, I have reigned in from dozens of random affiliate programs to just a few.

I want to expand in finding guest posting opportunities and possibly speaking engagements as a way to generate more traffic to my niche sites
