I bought PHPGalleria.com on Flippa about a year ago for $1500. I’ve improved the site’s design and on-site SEO factors quite a bit but the profit has stayed at about $150 a month which is mainly due to lack of decent search engine ranking. Today I updated the site a little more.
Social Sharing: Using ShareThis I added a number of social sharing buttons (Twitter, Digg, Share, Google Plus). I thought about creating a Twitter account and FB page for the site too but I don’t really have time to maintain any more social pages. Click To Continue…

This post was written by my good friend Abrahim Nadimi. Thanks Abrahim.
As you are reading this there are probably 14 emails, 2 magazines, 5 booklets filled with less-than-thrilling “save now!” offers, and 13 text messages being typed with your name on them. Yet it’s not just the marketers that are competing for your immediate attention – your tire is probably going flat and the food you ate two hours ago is about to make you run to the store for some medicine. Not particularly surprising in the world where “complexity” is the name of the game and multitasking is the only acceptable modus operandi.
I will not reveal any secrets when I say that with success comes resistance. Like a rock flying through air experiences more resistance the faster it moves, you too will find new and more challenging obstacles each step you move. I’ve experienced this time and time again. I’ve also figured out that I’m excellent at inviting new obstacles into my life. More stress is a good thing because it means I’m accomplishing things. Right? Click To Continue…

I’ve been in the hookah website business for over 6 years now. Started HookahLounge.net as a simple blog, turned it into a blog plus forum community, then added a directory, and eventually an eCommerce store. I continued modifying and improving the site with the online store for about 3 years and along the way moved the site to BuyHookah.com.
Last month (August) I completely re-designed the site and took it back to its roots. It now has a blog, forums, gallery, directory, and most importantly a hookah wiki section. It’s (IMO) the most complete hookah website online.

It took over 6 months, over 1000 hours of programming, over $15,000, and a lot of late nights. It is finally completed. The business idea that I’ve been working on is Heritage Law Marketing (HLM). It is an online marketing service focused on lawyers of specific heritage background or those with specific language skills. For example, Iranian Lawyers, Spanish Lawyers, Arab Lawyers, Korean Lawyers, Hebrew Lawyers, … . It is a series of sites each geared to a specific country/language.
I had owned IranianLawyers.net for over 5 years and almost always had listed lawyers for free. I started receiving great feedback on how the listed lawyers were actually receiving few customers a month from their listing (that’s a lot from one source by lawyer’s marketing standards). After thinking about it for a while I decided to work on the idea and make something out of it.
