About Paul & Erik
Paul & Erik have been developing an online business since 1998 when they wrote up everything they knew about mobile home repair and published it to the web. Our approach is based on building many small sites on keyword rich domain names. We benefit from "Long Tail" searches for the subjects we write about. The overhead of keeping track of hundreds of websites is the downside.

PaulandErik.com is where we talk about our strategy for taking advantage of online business opportunities. It is also the website where we talk about the technical methods we use to deploy and update a network of several hundred income producing websites.
Compared to starting a small business in a brick & mortar location, the web has much lower overhead and start-up costs. This greatly reduces the risk and makes it possible to try more ideas. If something doesn't work you simply take what you learned and move on to the next, hopefully better, concept.
Compared to starting a small business in a brick & mortar location, the web demands technical skills not required by brick & mnortar operations. The technical barriers have been getting smaller with the use of Wordpress and other simple software platforms, but at some point you will need a programmer.
At Wealth With Websites We list the domains we have already developed or have plans to develop. The focuses mostly on the selection of subjects on which to write about and the income potential of each one. If you are thinking of starting a small business online it would be worth your time to take a look.

At Selling Stuff we deal with the problem of downsizing for folks who are retired or about to retire. Like us, many have accumulated lots of "Stuff" over the years and need to get rid of much of it. At the same time, some of our stuff has value, and we don't want to just give it away; in these economic hard times we may need the income. We could leave it for the kids to deal with, but they don't know enough about the collectibles to get full value for them. They also lack time to deal with the whole mess.
At Walking Rain Gallery we are exploring the potential of selling photos online as a way of paying for the cost of the travel we would like to do. We are building an online home business where home may be an RV traveling around the country. We have been taking stock photos for years and should be able to upload new high resolution photos to our digital photo sales sites as we travel. The same internet connection from the RV will let us fill orders as we travel.

hello, ..My grandparents were M.L. and Flora Flowers. I grew up in “Bird Haven”, although by that time they were quite old, with many prints of birds and countless books in a warehouse. I’m glad to see you puting up their stuff…David Sandell
I loved the Alfred Mainzer cards. My sister found 18 at a yard sale a few years ago. I thought I would look them up on ebay to see what they were going for, and the next thing I knew I was buying them. She has one where cat kids are using hoola hoops. Printed in Belgium. Will you be continuing with this web site? I am assuming you collect these cards.
Yes, I have a collection of them and will continue to keep the site live. I am working on a system that would let people enter a few keywords about their card(s) and then show them a list of cards with thumbnails for only the ones that meet the criteria. As it is, if you don’t know the card number you have to look through all of them until you find one matching yours. That’s especially frustrating if your card is one I don’t have!
