In this week's Top Topics, we highlight a couple of discussions based around your domaining income and your day jobs. It's been well documented that it's difficult to make a good living through domain investing, but it can be done. A little hard work every day can be extremely beneficial to your investing career when it's teamed with constant self improvement and learning.
Here's this week's Top Topics.
How Two Factor Authentication Saved Me
The advantages to two factor authentication has been documented many times on the NamePros blog. For those who are unaware, two factor authentication provides an extra security step after entering your account's password. It usually involves having to enter a unique code.
This week, an investor has shared their story of how using two factor authentication helped them to prevent an attempt to hack their GoDaddy account, which contained some valuable four-letter .COMs as well as one-word .COMs.

What Is Your Best Domain Name?
A typical domain investor has hundreds, if not thousands of domain names, but can you tell us your single best domain name? That's the question being posed in this discussion. The term "best" hasn't been defined here, so it is down to personal preference as to what you would call your best name.
Names within the conversation already include a four-number .COM, a first-name .TV and a great four-letter .COM domain.

Escrow.com - Should We Be Worried?
In April 2015, Freelancer.com announced that it was acquiring one of the domain community's most popular services: Escrow.com. Since the acquisition, Freelancer.com have redesigned the Escrow.com website, as well as adding multilingual customer support. The service has also recently reached 1mm registered users.
However, one investor has asked whether we should be worried about this acquisition. Citing several historical Internet acquisitions that have allegedly resulted in a poor service, the investor asks whether Escrow.com is heading the same way. There are many others, including Escrow.com's General Manager, Jackson Elsegood, that have had their say in this discussion.

How Much Do You Earn From Domaining?
Domain investing has traditionally been considered a difficult way to make money. It isn't a "get rich quick" scheme, and requires hours of diligence every day to ensure you have the best possible opportunity to make money.
This discussion, along with an anonymous poll, asks how much you earn from domaining every month. So far, the majority of people polled are either losing money or making less than $100 per month.

What's Your Day Job?
This discussion isn't strictly domain related, but considering the results of the poll mentioned above in which the majority of people seem to earn less than $100 from domains every month, it's inevitable that most investors will have a day job, too.
