The Next Step Revealed
Well, it’s official. The next phase is begun. Those of you who read the previous post have probably guessed by now that the next step is a Web site, and it’s up. How did I manage this with only $6.04? Well, it’s amazing how far $6 will go on the Internet nowadays.
I found a registrar that was having a promotion: .com domain names for $3.99. As for the hosting, well, I already had a hosting account set up which allows unlimited addon domains (This site, for example, is hosted there). So I added the new site to the account. Some may think that’s cheating, but remember that Rule 8 allows for a little flexibility with resources you already own, as long as it doesn’t cost you anything. I have a set bandwidth quota for the hosting account, so if the new site causes me to go over, I’ll have to pay for the added expense out of my stake. Otherwise, adding the site costs me nothing, so it doesn’t break the rules.
So you’re probably curious by now as to what the site is. It’s called Renewable Wealth. It’s a site that is dedicated to sustainable investing, a passion of mine. We will be focusing on finding profitable investments in alternative energy and green enterprise. Further, I’m implementing a revenue sharing program, so active members of the community will get a share of ad revenues generated from their contributions. I’m hoping this will encourage more people to come and share their ideas.
The site is built on 100% free, open-source software. So the total cost of launching it, apart from my time: $3.99. That leaves me with $2.05 remaining in my stake. I’m excited about the prospects for this project, especially since all of its earnings will be going into my stake for the game. I hope you will come and join the conversation.
