If you could invest 2,000. What would you look for?

If one goes a liquid premium, while you will be able to sell it, you must be very sure you got it at a great price or you run a risk of loss. If not liquid, then even at a 5% sell through rate, odds are about 20 years to sell. Are we sure that branding trends will not change in that ten years? If not, I see risk that what is regarded as quality today, may not be so when the domain is likely to sell.. Now that is true for all domain name types but I just prefer not to put all of my investment on just one domain name.

@Bob Hawkes Yes, as in any business there is a certain degree of risk involved in the premium acquisitions. One strategy is to acquire premium or ultra-premium domains for product development and sell on the way or use them for your products in the worst case. The bottom line is, one should know what/why he/she is acquiring, should know how to sell or know how to put them to use for their benefit.

My ex wife...she took my pre-marriage black book when we split. I am sure many of the numbers are not good (some may have had rotary dial roots) but it would be a hoot to see if any still worked!

As far as domains go, I would invest in some logical 4L and a few top 2 word domains...both in coms.

There will be a lot of (l)earnings ahead. But there could also be a lucky shot. What kind of news-pages/-papers do you read?

Just popular daily newspapers which appeal to a wide selection of society.

Let them do the research of deciding what news or topics are trending and you may just pick up something that others may miss.

Also, the news feeds that appear on my phone that many others just scroll through.

Also, try to identify any emerging technologies in your local area as there may be a need for domain names in the near future.

I would buy around 100 names for $20 each (average) and hopefully sell around 5 of them for up to $2,000 each. It's a strategy that's worked for me in the past. Just got back into domaining after a break.

I will like to know your strategies

Basically I just look for closeout domains on GoDaddy, cheap domain on here, etc. I try to pay around $10-$30. I only buy .com names, as I think they're easier to sell and I don't know enough about any others. When I choose a name I try to make sure that there are at least a few end buyers that I can imagine. So maybe .net and .org are already in use or the name is just a decent business name. I try to avoid names that sound nice but don't have any business use. I keep things pretty simple.

The reason I'm buying low priced domains is because I'm still learning. I reckon I'll learn more buying 100 names for $20 each than buying 4 names for $500 each.

I'm planning to do this until early next year and then take stock and see if it's worth continuing.

I also have a few other projects/experiments on the go, so will drop those that aren't working. If one thing really takes off I'll focus on that exclusively.

go with the expireddomain.net and go under the godaddy closeouts... under that filter with the valuation...

Look to buy those names with high evaluation and low number of letters , or meaningful words with .com extension
