various Report Completed Domain Name Sales Here

Wirelessgloves dot com $750 in an auction, plus the singular for $500 as a followup. Not great money for those domains, but the income will generate <> $4K in sales for my primary business. I had maybe $24 invested in both domains.

offers What is the highest offer you've rejected?

I turned down $10K for Satellite.tv, from two different unsolicited prospects. Probably a mistake.

If you have to reveal one secret of your domaining success, what would be?

An affiliate marketer that I respect always had this quote on his tagline: "The secret to success is constancy of purpose." -Disraeli Not a secret, just a nice, daily reminder.

16 Years?

I don't even know how that happened. Noticed a stat that I joined namepros on 1/6/2005. Unless you count the multiple times I stomped off in anger then reluctantly came back, lol. Maybe the stat should read, "member since 2005, 2011, 2016, and 2019", lol. Sixteen years seems like it went by...

discuss So I asked my wife..

If your wife says no before she hears your idea, she is not vested in your dream. You need to either proceed without her, or give up on your dream. if she listens to the domain, and discusses it with you and has concerns, that is legitimate. But, you are going to have to educate her on your...

How to Develop Domain Names for Profit

You should absolutely -not- post web sites that you have developed. Many years ago, I was trying to discuss affiliate marketing on this site, someone asked for an example of work I had done, and I obligingly posted a link, with a disclaimer to find a different topic, there are millions of...

How to Develop Domain Names for Profit

What happened to me, I stupidly said ‘this site is making money’ and I explained how, someone then regged an exact match of my domain name and scraped all my content and put a site up within a week. So my desire to help was the impetus for some moron to register a specific domain name and then...

discuss Where do you see domaining in 5 years?

I think there is a whole generation of investors coming that will will see domains as investment opportunities. As they get used to bitcoin, purchasing everything online, managing their portfolios online, etc., they will start seeing domains as assets and paying out good money for them. The...

I helped 'Chef Patrick' with a cartoon idea years ago, and it is still one of my favorite domain related strips, involving a domainer, an alien and a probe... Maybe I shouldn't post it here, but I thought it was relevant and funny...

What Is The Longest Domain That You Own?

You know you've done it. You want the domain but it is so doggone long, you know you probably won't ever get a buyer, yet you hover the pointer over the buy button until you finally say heck with it and register an entirely too long domain. So, what did you register? What incredibly long...

We are the idiots ...

I just hired a professional journalist to write 30 articles for my newest site. It is expensive, but in the long run it will help legitimize the site, give it a professional appeal that would take me months to accomplish on my own. And no, please do not inundate me with five dollar article...

question Who's working on a cool domain development project?

Several years ago, I left a career position that had stalled for a position of less stress, but also included a 60% pay cut. I had to make a lot of hard decisions, and dropped all but the best of my domains. I've ended up helping my wife build her business up, and we are actually having a lot...

strategy This is how I price my hand-registered domain names

Just as an aside, from a buyers perspective, there is a domain I would like to own. I don't need it, it would just be a nice addition to complement an interest that I have. Once a year, for the last 10 years, I have contacted the owner with an offer of $250. I state that my offer will never...

1st Day Domain Portofolio

At least with only owning 8 domains so far, you are going about this properly. Make your mistakes - and you are going to make some, everyone does - before you spend an outrageous sum for dozens or hundreds of domains. Having said that, I do not really like these domains a whole lot. Everyone...
