poll How Many Hours a Month Do You Spend on Domaining?

Try to limit to like 90 minutes max per day, I feel like if it is more than that, the time gets easily spent on domaining related things that are in no way essential and don't really generate income.

That is serious, counting time spent per day on domaining! I spent nothing less than 7 hours daily; especially now that I 'm just retired from civil service.

TOO

Too much!

If time is money than time isn't much worth!

Average 10-12 hours a day on everything related to domaining. Plus I learn English along the way.
This post reminded me of this video:

I think it should be measured daily instead of monthly.

6 x 30 = 180 (yes, I do this on weekends as well).

Not really much at all in terms of actual work...

I buy a domain and instantly point to my own sales page. Add em to Afternic, Sedo, Uniregistry etc... done.
As far as expired drop lists those show up in my email from associates pre-filtered and I can scan through them pretty quick and mark the possibles, then I run through the possibles and pull the trigger on my final filtering.
Domain offers come in I work them.

So really just scanning domains, if I buy any takes 2 seconds to add an entry to my sales pages, responding to domain offers. I spend more time on developing sites, A/B testing/tweaking, reading, forums, etc...

Passive seller so less work, less sales but at higher returns. Never been strong outbound seller as that equals a job and I would rather work on my existing websites or create new ones to continually increase my recurring monthly income stream than beat down doors for a domain sale. I favor recurring income so some domain sales income gets reinvested into site development, domains, logos, scripts etc...

My internet income has grown for 14 years and most of the money I make from it is on auto pilot and happens while I'm sleeping or out doing other things. Domain sales is a part of the pie but definitely not the whole pie. domain sales, web hosting, web development, seo, affiliate marketing, etc... really the only thing I outsource is logo work as I'm not Mr. Artistic and cheap enough for me to not have to learn it.

So my internet time is high but it's definitely diversified between different sectors so not 100% domain sales related. This also helps so if one industry momentarily grows cold other ones keep on churning. Income from my developed sites also gives me the luxury of waiting for the x domain investment to receive a high xxx to high xxxx offer before selling. When ya don't need the money or sometimes pretend ya don't need the money people wanna give ya the money. When ya could actually use the money for development etc... it usually equals nothing but...

More than 90 hours a week??!

Are you serious, or is it a joke?

1 hours / day .... more on weekends

@Arca I would imagine is dedicated. It's not work if you enjoy it. He can answer himself, but as for me I have by choice created and enjoyed what I do my entire life of successes and some failures so it isn't work, and whatever hours it takes.

I love lazy or nondedicated people, they are making domaining less competition and it makes my job easier to find the gold nuggets.

Only people willing to do major time investment on a new skill or business regardless of the skill will ever retire young. Some of us don't conform to society norms. I prefered being a life long "student" without wasting 4+ years in some formal university education trying to "be somebody" or a corporate tool. I always made more money than those around me. Over the years I have acquired and developing skills most people only dream of. Before I played guitar like that for many years for 8-14 hrs a day, as a hobby.

Some of us don't watch TV or movies. Some of us don't use our time on social networks. Some of us date girls 1/2 our age. Lol.

WOW!

like...study current sales? are there so many to study?

or just keep finding undervalued domains and emailing potential buyers?

Lol.....

As a beginner I worked 10 hours a day and planned to reduce it to 6 hours but very fast I realized that I'll need to add hours. For good results you need hours and hours of hard work what is something entirely different from glorified tales of easy money and glamour in domaining bussines.
