Today I’m going to review the blog http://www.tylercruz.com/.

The subtitle is “An Internet Entrepreneur’s Journey”. It’s full of all sorts of ideas related to the topic of entrepreneurship based on online activities such as blogging. I will admit that this is not my area of expertise. Business and its associated techno-speak are not yet in my comfort zone. I realize this may be a hurdle I need to overcome if I’m to have any success with my new blogging venture.

Still, Tyler’s blog had some posts I could appreciate and take to heart. Here are just a few that I found interesting:

This post talks about domain names. Some people try to make money by buying the rights to unused domain names they think are particularly clever. Tyler cautions against this, stating that all too often, the supposedly-clever name ends up being a loser. He makes the important points that “Cute is seldom profitable” and “Copycats seldom succeed.” Also, don’t bother buying a domain name if you have to EXPLAIN to someone why it’s clever.

In this post and this post he speaks honestly about some of the regrets he’s had during his ongoing journey as an internet entrepreneur.

In this post he alerts us to a DMCA scammer out there, and relates the story of how this particular scammer affected him personally.

Someday I hope to be as savvy as Tyler about the opportunities available in cyberspace. After all, I think it would be wonderful to describe myself as a successful internet entrepreneur.
