BasketballBlog.com – Small Dream Of Mine !

Domain Development

Hi Everyone ! 
When i was a child i watch basketball all the time, because i born in Israel i had to watch the games on 5 am in the morning, that is not the best time to watch t.v but Michael Jordan is worth it.
I was reading books, watching t.v shows about the game of basketball.
Two months ago i decided to search for a domain name related to the game of basketball.
I did a lot of different searches until i saw the domain BasketballBlog.com on Sedo.
The domain was for sale at 1,200 dollars if i remember right.
I send an offer via Sedo to the seller for 500 dollar, eventually after short negotiation we agree on 675 dollars.
After i bought the domain i started looking for developing ideas.
I wanted to develop a terrific blog about the game of basketball, but i do not have the time to update the blog every day so what is the point of doing that.
Eventually i decided to make a blog base on RSS feeds that combine the best-basketball blogs out there.
I decided to go with WordPress, i bought a theme for 20 dollars on Theme Forest, i told my designer to make a neat logo and i purchase a software that feeds your posts with RSS feeds.
Two days ago i launch the site, of course it is only a beta version, but i excited with my first basketball site.
The plans for the future is to draw a lot of visitors to the site using all the available tools out there, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, target ads on related sites.
If you have suggestions, comments, please send email to Info@BasketballBlog.com or use the comments area below.
Have a Great weekend everyone.

Great domain, it’s worth more than you paid for sure. With the right site and promotion you could do very well, basketball is huge in the US, China and lots of other countries – good luck!
