I suppose any webdesigner will understand me: a short story behind www.sellmysignature.com .. it is a late evening, all your skype friends are sleeping, real friends are sleeping as well , you are bored, some stuff has to be done, you start cruising around some forums.. and you stumble upon this topic you like, then notice that 3 old domains/sites that tried to bring this idea to life have been dropped long time ago.. you start smiling.. off you go to archive.org, you check those domains and see that the guys had built something insignificant there but didn't have a clue what they were doing.. the energy starts building up.. you check backlinks, domain authority and competition and bang! .. it is an open lane.. you think 10 minutes, verify your idea over skype with a friend of yours who's working late as well (but is too busy to chit-chat about nothing), he likes the idea.. green light.. off you go! you buy those domains, add them to your reseller cpanel, edit nameservers, choose the main one, redirect the other 2 to the main one, do a quick research about latest cms-s (as you are bored with wordpress, joomla, bbpress, vbulletin and others), make a choice, curse a bit on quick install of cpanel for their shitty new design, download the cms package from their website, create db, create db user, add user to the db with all the privileges, put up a cms, spend 30 min exploring the new system you haven't seen before, set up categories, add some content, add some basic and additional features and the site is there.. everything looks good.. you smile and the feeling of initial victory has filled you.. you contact your friend (he is still working), he checks the system - all looks good, tries to register a new account and finds some problems.. you solve the problems with ease, the new registration goes through smoothly, his post looks good. you add couple more features and stage 1 and 2 are done.. then.. well, you drop a fiverr bomb by ordering slowly executed (on purpose) 20 gigs from 20 different sellers who offer services that are closely related to your new project and realise that few actually could become members of your community.. it is early morning, you let your dog out, put away and wash dirty dishes and go to sleep.. 10 hours later you wake up and see that the stone has started rolling, slowly, but the first movement is there.. and you realise that that magic energy is gone.. probably went and inspired some other guy who can't sleep that night and starts having sparks of ideas..

too bored to read that? .. probably as lazy as I am to check misspellings and grammar mistakes

enjoy the Wednesday,
h

p.s. wtf! .. visit www.LustJobs.com post a free ad that you are looking for a well paid job. peace ;)
