The title says it all. I am going to run an experiment from an old domain name that I spent $10 on. I had a plan of turning it into an all-source information site to teach entrepreneurs. But then my actual fastlane business took a higher priority. I don't want to put countless hours in this with no clear path. I will start as small as possible.

So I have the domain EntreTimes.com (kind of like a new york times type of feel for entrepreneurship stuff). I purposely made it look bad to see if people would go to the site if it provides valuable information. Right now it is a bunch of links to entrepreneurship websites, an amazon affiliate account, and a paypal donate button. I plan on only adding one link/feature a day (total time invested, less than a couple of minutes a day), or one for each donation I get.

If not for anything else, bookmark the site and use it as a handy reference to places you want to learn new stuff. Any links you want added, feel free to message here.

Day 1: July 22, 2012 - $10 domain name, $12 for first month of hosting, posting this thread on this forum.

time invested - 2 hours. 0 Page visitors.

And yes, I will only post books that I have personally read.

Let's see what happens.
