How to Prepare Meeting Minutes

This is great, I'm doing minutes of our meeting ... yacks! Well it's another information to share with you.

I did not reinvent the wheel, I used the Internet to netstumble finding information available and here's what I found out (courtesy of eHow.com).

Thing's you'll need, pen and paper:

Step1 Distribute a sign in sheet so you have a record of who attended. The sign in sheet should ask the people to print their names so you have the correct spelling and it’s a good idea to include contact information in case there are questions about what may have been said during the meeting.
Step2 Prepare an agenda prior to meeting and use that document to take your notes.
Step3 If, in the course of the meeting there are action or follow up items, place an X next to those items on the paper.
Step4 You don’t need to write down every comment or remark. Note only the key points that are being made and who said them.
Step5 At the close of meeting summarize, to the group, the key points you have in your notes and ask if they agree.
Step6 After this is done summarize all the action or follow up items indicated with the X. Those items should be at the bottom of the Meeting Minutes.
Step7 Send out a draft of minutes to all who attended to see if they agree.
Step8 After the draft comments have been incorporated send out the final version of the Meeting Minutes.

Here's a templates courtesy by Microsoft.

In addition to this approach, I created a document with all the information related to this specific meeting. This is to cover all the bases, you know what happen in corporate world when things get in shallow area. Finger pointing.

Microsoft And Yahoo Talks Back On

We’ve got multiple sources at both Yahoo and Microsoft telling us that official talks are back on between the two companies. But we’re hearing something different than CNET - the talks are about a full buyout again, not a sweetened search-only deal.

The information we have is thin, but what one source is saying that Microsoft is talking a price lower than the $33 they were offering when the talks disintegrated in May. Given Yahoo’s recent share price (it’s below $21 today), and the fact that just about everyone other than their board and top execs are publicly screaming for a deal, I’m not surprised.

Buy it now or your best offer?

We all think our online properties (domain names and/or website) worth a few hundred, or thousand, or maybe a million hard earn cash. I guess some of you will agree with me and some don't, who really care? We just want to make money, that's a primary goal. Though we have to make a simple baseline to follow so we can meet that goal.

The question is "How do you negotiate a deal without losing your potential customer?".
This is based on my previous transactions as a buyer or a seller.

I'm always open to offer. I hate putting bin price or fixed price, this will push the "potential" buyer away. I let the buyer set the price how much they can afford to purchase the domain. It's the buyer who really knows what his/her budget anyway. If the offer is close enough, we seal the deal right away. Then move on to the next.

Not all domains fall to "best offer" negotiation. A good example is GEO online properties (domain name), they don't get a lot of traffic if not develop. This is similar to some premium keywords found in the Internet. The selling negotiation and pricing is different.

I hope I was able to provide you some basic tips on how you close a deal.

Best regards.

How to do PayPal "Mass Pay" payments and avoid fees. Read and learn!

This how to guide is prepared by pcproffenno, a DNF member.

I would like to share this information to all entrepreneurs.

HOWTO Start ---
I stumble upon a lot of people all the time who does not know how to pay with PayPal's "mass pay" feature, which only costs $1 in fees, instead of the usual 4%. I will therefore try to write a quick guide on how to do this. It is quick, easy and as long as you're paying with PayPal balance, anyone can do it. Some people believe that PayPal is only charging fees if the buyer is paying from credit card, but this is not right. PayPal charges roughly 4% of the amount from the payee, even though it is a PayPal balance payment.

Mass pay can be made only from a Premier/Business account, not from Personal accounts. Paypal does not charge incoming payments from balance to private accounts, so if you pay someone with a private account, just send normal payment, its free.

I know most of the experienced domainers on this forum knows how to do a Mass Payment, but I thought this might be useful for all the new domainers out there. Here we go...

Mass Payment
According to PayPal's mass pay instructions, you are supposed to create an Excel file with the payment information and save the file as a text file with tab separated values. I believe there is a much easier way to do it:

I. Open up notepad (or any text/ascii editor)
II. Type the following information, separated by tabs (use tab key, not spaces).

An example of a payment text file:
payment@king.net 999 USD

This textfile will, when uploaded to PayPal, process a payment of $999 US Dollars to the PayPal address payment@king.net

Save the textfile as anything you'd like, just try to remember where you saved it for later.

III. Log in to your PayPal account the usual way, but instead of sending a payment the regular way, look for the small link on the bottom of your screen that says "Mass Pay". Found it? Good, now click it.

IV. You are now one step away from doing a mass payment. Browse to find the text file you just created in notepad and upload it to PayPal as directed. Type in the e-mail address you want the receipt to be sent to and perform the payment by clicking the button.

Voila! The PayPal recipient has now received his/hers payment and it only cost you $1 in fees, instead of 4% !

Good luck with mass pay payments, it has saved me a couple of bucks as some deals involve adding the 4% fee to the final sales price.

HOWTO End ---
