Around two weeks ago, after over a year of blood sweat and coding, we finally launched Internet Tycoon, a community, an online learning resource and a set of tools for people with an interest in buying, selling and growing websites, apps and software.
This post is about the nuts and bolts of building a community, what tools we used and what marketing insights we discovered from our split tests.Even if you never intend to build a member site this should still be a useful resource on building an information based web business in general.

A recent post on the Flippa Blog revealed some changes that I’m pretty sure will get the silver (or based on the amount of sites some people sell – platinum) tongues wagging in our industry. This post looks at the actual numbers behind the alternatives and tries to answer the question, whether or not Flippa still represents value for sellers of + $10K sites.
