What is a good domainer?

mholt · 09-22-2005, 08:40 PM

- A good domainer does research before he/she purchases or registers a domain.
- A good domainer waits for payment before pushing domain.
- When a good domainer gets an appraisal, he/she appraises other domains at a ratio of 1:3 (1 appraisal for you? Appraise 3 others.)
- A good domainer is kind and explains why their domain is worth $0 or regfee.
- A good domainer is one willing to give up good names and post them for others' good fortunes.
- A good domainer can think really hard and often come up with good ideas.
- A good domainer watches the news often to get updates on hot topics.
- A good domainer helps newbies.
- A good domainer doesn't get frustrated at getting bad names, but rather finds ways to improve them
- A good domainer supports other domainers when they feel depressed.
- A good domainer watches the market carefully.
- A good domainer sells names with integrity.
- A good domainer knows a good name when he/she sees one.
- A good domainer doesn't post domains they want to get in public before they are registered
- Instead, a good domainer masks the name so others don't swipe it
- A good domainer doesn't try to get the most of others that they can.
- Instead, a good domainer GIVES the most TO others that they can.
- A good domainer responds logically to technical problems.
- A good domainer donates NP$ or adds rep upon a noble cause to others
- A good domainer searches Google & Overture
- A good domainer doesn't register names to make profit off of death or disasters
- A good domainer knows the difference between DEAD FLEA and REG FEE.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-discussion/125918-what-is-a-good-domainer.html
- A good domainer can afford what he/she is purchasing
- A good domainer knows that you can and SHOULD learn from your mistakes.
- A good domainer knows the difference between MoleStationNation.com and MolestationNation.com
- A good domainer has a primarily-used email address from one of his/her domains, and not from a free email service.

In conclusion,
A good domainer is good with:

- Business
- Legal issues
- Social Relations
- Marketing
- Website development
- Programming
- Concepts, Ideas
- eCommerce
- The Industry (news, market status, etc.)
- Money

So those of you that aren't good at getting valuable domains?

DON'T WORRY!

Those skills take a LIFETIME to master, which nobody has yet, you just have to keep trying!

Cheers,
-Matt
