Daniel Scocco, of Daily Blog Tips, has today published his first ever ebook, Killer Domains. Two days ago, Daniel kindly sent me an evaluation copy, which I opened almost immediately. I knew if the content was anything like what Daniel publishes on his website, the ebook would be an excellent resource for domain name buyers.

I’ve been running this blog for about 12 months now, but that’s not to say I didn’t have an online presence beforehand.
