Advice from Successful Domain Owners and Investors

EJS · 10-08-2009, 11:31 AM

Over the past week, I reached out to many friends and colleagues, asking them for one piece of advice they would give to a part-time domain investor looking to build his business. I believe this advice will help a majority of the people involved in domain investing since most are part-time, and it can also help others who are in various stages of business growth.

The number of responses I received was surprising, and instead of posting one HUGE post, I divided it into 5 posts. The others will be posted Friday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday around this time, and I will update this thread with links as they come out.

I hope you find the advice helpful, and I want to say thank you again to the people who contributed.

I love this:

Quote:

1) Only invest in dotCom or a ccTLD (if your business is based that country). Yes, you can possibly make money with dotTV, dotME or DotCM, but I don’t believe in working ten times as hard for the same revenue. Furthermore, dotTV does not stand for television, dotME is not about you and dotCM is not typosquatter heaven. They are the ccTLDs for Tuvalu, Montenegro and Cameroon – and if you think that will never matter down the road think again.

Great comments and great job at writing the article.
