Maybe some members want to share their stats of portfolio and how much they earn on domains ?
I will start:
Number of domains: 79
month revenue: 90$
source: ads on developed part of domains.

I only have less than a hundred.

How do you guys manage 1000s of domains? spreadsheet or software?
The amount of work to list them on various marketplaces is crazy.

No software.

Since I've acquired these domains in more than 10 years so not very difficult to manage compare to someone who's aggressively buying. Also I try to keep all my domains at one registrar for better management.

I'm 9 months into domaining and have about 60 domains. Income? I'm still trying to cross over to profit status, which I can do with one decent sale.
Are these hand-regs or buying auction domains or a mix ?

About 20% are hand regs and the rest are expired or closeout domains - except for a few I bought here on NP.

Partly Spreadsheets.

The best software I use for management is Domain Punch Professional. It's about $120 to purchase. All upgrades in the same version are free. And when you upgrade to the next version you get it at a discount of about $70 (I forget exactly). I started with version 1. And am now on the latest version 4. Each major version upgrade comes around about every 3 years or so. There is a free trial. I recommend you try it. Its workology suited me best. I wouldn't have a computer without it.

I've gone past all the craziness stage. I just list my domains on my website and Afternic (Which includes GoDaddy). I am in the process of converting most of my domains from make offer to buy now with fast transfer.

Currently I have 20 Domains. My goal is to slowly build and create a steady income reselling so at most I only plan to have between 50-100. I am starting to acquire domains with the extension .info to use for parking which I am working to generate revenue from. My .coms I look to sell at a good price.

I am trying to keep my portfolio at 500 names, but I will try to get it up to 1000 in 2020. I can make a living from my domaining.

What are some of your favorite, present or past?

Do you mean my favorite domains?

If, ngTLDs are my favorites at the moment.

Same here, around 2600 .coms and around 200 the rest.

Last year, I had around 1200 .coms in average.

Looks like you're going aggressive in buying since last year and same is the case with me too!
With your speed, hopefully you'll reach 4K mark by the end of this year (y)

I had over 600+, but now I'm around 250..... I want to focus on quality and also development.
I would love to make some good sales and bring my portfolio down to 100.

I am able to find about 20-30 names a day I want to have, but the bottleneck is adding to marketplaces and marketing properly. I feel like just collecting is not effective, when I have a backlog of hundreds that I already own, but don't properly market. And this includes adding to afternic, adding to brandable marketplaces (Brandpa and Squadhelp for now, Brandroot and Brandbucket have been dead slow), launching my own marketplace and featuring them there etc.

So I am forcing myself just to get 1-10 a day and probably will reach 4K mark by the end of 2019.

But, numbers aside, there are bunch of other similarities I find with you. Perhaps, because if you are a logical person, you will be thinking/acting the same way as others like you.

I don't list them.
ParkingCrew and Bodis are enough for me.

And no any special software.


If I wanted you to show me your 7+ years old, less than 12 letters, registered in namesilo, 3+ months left to expire dot com domains, it would take hours for you create a list for me from your 2k - 6k domains.

Another post on this thread might support my theory:

The more domains - the more time and health you must burn... up to level where personal life will disappear at all.

However creating and updating an excel table for 2k+ domains would take lots of time. Also opening a big excel file and keeping it open for hours every day, would need a powerful computer with good processing power. I too would avoid software.

Definitely that's very time consuming task.
I think taking a break for maximum one week would help you to sort out all pending work.

Was at around 240 now in the 170's.

Dropped most new gtld names that I had.
May keep only one, for now.

Most of my portfolio consist of .com
Have a only few cctld and .org

Continually doing research and improving my portfolio.

I wish )) took 3 months off and did not help. I have too many other projects off the domains, including a magazine that want to launch in few month, managing real estate partnership for 65000 square feet new development, mixed sports, retail, office, a 2 year old baby and so on :)

Oh well... That's too many tasks! I thought you're solely into domaining.

After ~11 years of domaining I don't think that 100% reinvesting into domains (only) is a good way.

Same thoughts - hard assets like land, real estate, business and gold are cooler for peace of mind :). Domains are 'agreements' in essence, so counterparty risk. But they are interesting and keep you away from having to go to the office :) Provided you invested 10K Gladwell's hours to learn it bien sur :)

Something around 2K but I am planning to reduce that number very soon :)

There are what? 10k domain names in this thread alone? I can't even think of 1k good names lol.

I'm at 109 names at the moment. 106 .COM and 3 ngTLDs. Into my 8th month in domaining. Had a hand reg rush in the first couple of months but then I moved my focus into closeouts with the odd hand reg every now and then. 80 hand regs and 29 aftermarket names to be specific.

I still have a backlog in listing names (especially on Sedo and my own marketplace).

I nailed my first sale after 7 months into domaining. Sales will come provided you list your names in marketplaces at a good price
