    discuss I have lost interest in domaining. What about you?

    Domaining in of itself is boring. Looking through lists of names, sending out cold emails, waiting for leads to come in, etc. Does not really fill any meaning in life that one needs to motivate or inspire them. However, I look at domaining like an artist looks at a blank canvass. The incredible...

    development Is the Coronavirus Crisis an Opportunity to Grow Your Domain Business?

    The Coronavirus crisis will eventually end. When? That is difficult for the experts to predict. Unfortunately, politicians and red tape may stand in the way. In the meantime, more and more people are working from home. Could this be an opportunity for you to focus more on growing your domain...

    Epik, We have a problem. Domain removed from account without permission.

    This is indeed a mess. So sorry this happened to you @bmugford One takeaway is move your auction win domains to another registrar as soon as possible. This could have been a positive pr spin for Epik if they responded in a way that showed their concern for the innocent party, the buyer, in a...

    discuss I have lost interest in domaining. What about you?

    My motto is (and I'm sure I am not the first one to say this), if you can't give 100% to a project, don't even bother starting it. I have given up on certain projects because I was too thinly spread and other projects would suffer. Domaining is a unique business because you can let it incubate...

    I just noticed you can keep voting up and down as often as you like. This can present a problem.

    advice What sounds good ?

    When you consider using a brandable name based on a real word or words, the rule of thumb is to have only one misspelling (ie. missed, replaced or extra letter). You have at least 3 misspellings in those domains. You will be leaking traffic all over the place. Hope this advice is helpful. Post...

    discuss I have lost interest in domaining. What about you?

    I'd say "never give up" is too broad of a term. In the words of Albert Einstein, "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results". So you may not want to give up in your goals, but you may need to change the way you get there.

    discuss I have lost interest in domaining. What about you?

    Sounds like you suffer from the propaganda noise that domaining is easy money. If it is it is not a heck of a lot. Domaining is a great business because it allows you to work from anywhere and decide how much you want to invest in terms of time and money. However, if you want to make it a...

    showcase Showcase the best domain you acquired on NamePros.

    A while ago I wrote a post on DN Playbook that if you mainly sell on domain forums then you are doing something wrong. However, selling on forums like Np has its place and purpose. It allows you to turn your inventory (and make you some income or at least compensate for some of your...

    Epik Fights PayPal

    PP and GD are not monopolies. They have a good market share because people like using them. But there are many other options for both. If you think they are evil then vote with your wallet. Stop using them. It's as simple as that. Why waste time with these threads? Is it some incomprehensible...

    Making a living from domain parking

    You may not only lose a domain to UDRP but you may also deplete the domain's authority, especially where zero click ads are concerned. Having a page of nothing but ads can also impact sales as the domain appears as spam and may turn off buyers. Historical data of a domain is important. However...

    opinion What is the worst recommendation you hear in the world of Domain Name Investing?

    NP is a vehicle for domainers to interact. It is only as good as the members who participate and how they do so. It is a challenge to moderate such a large forum. So I sympathize. It is not perfect but I think the mods are doing a good job. Any domainer anywhere is going to look for wholesale...

    showcase Showcase your domains you think are worth over $5,000 US

    For this thread to be truly helpful is if the posts included what metrics or factors are being used to determine the price point of the domains. Otherwise it is just another "post your domains" thread.

    Ethics of staying quiet when newbies reg rubbish?

    There are good handregs still available. There are also quality domains at low aftermarket prices. The problem is that most domainers are impatient. They want to flip domains they register the next day for profit. The successful domainers make good sales 3 to 5 or more years after registration...

    I'm Bill Hartzer, Director of DNProtect AMA

    First of all whether it is or it wasn't, do you feel any association with Epik past or present hurts your brand. I assume DNProtect is your baby. However, when you look at the website you see connections to Epik. For example, link to TrustRatings. Are you going to say TrustRatings is not an Epik...
