What do you do for a living?

I am doing a day job.

I am a plumber. I'm much better at plumbing than domaining lol.

I arrange executive round table discussion/exchanges around the world within the HR space - think Rewards, Comp & Ben, Global Mobility, Talent Management & Acquisition and your on the right track...

I have said this would be a good idea within this space @Rob Monster is looking to do something similar with his Dojo Domain concept, albeit in a less formal environment and only involving fellow domainers.....

Always thought it would be great to connect senior marketing/sales executives from companies (500+ employee size) to the domaining community to talk about this industry, the challenges they are facing, future trends and how good domains can fit into a company's marketing/sales strategy.

Find a good facilitator, a great venue, provide a compelling agenda and let the conversation flow!

Would probably need to mix it up with other marketing/sales concepts, but it is something that I have on the shelf to look at in more detail in the future

i am exporter of himalayan salt from pakistan & apparel stock lot exporter from pakistan apparently now empirenames is my 4th business 3rd was ecommerce in dubai which collapsed because of facebook ads policies..so total 3 businesses running now..

I'm retired after working in science research, teaching and outreach for many decades. It was interesting, challenging, and fun and through it met so many wonderful people.

Domaining for me is largely hobbyist. Anything I make from domains I put back into growing my portfolio, but for most part never invest anything else in domains. I think domains are interesting, challenging and fun, and through NamePros have met many wonderful people.

Thanks for the question @AKS5, it is interesting to read the responses. And welcome to NamePros!

That’s what my mother thinks. I am actually a Lobbyist (Governmental Affairs Consultant) so sometimes the above is more well received!

By day, I'm a Senior I.T. Infrastructure Consultant. This includes systems administration, network administration and information security.

By night, I'm the Product Manager\Consultant for Epik's DNEncrypt SSL/TLS certificates division.

"Domaining" is largely a hobby, but I enjoy it the most of all my favorite things to do.

Hello @AKS5 !

Welcome to NamePros!

I am a postman! I go to the boxing gym also! I deliver letters, magazines, newspapers and items from aliexpress! OMG how much people order items from this website! I always think it is better to buy a quality domain name=))) My net monthly income is about $400 and it is European Union!!! I dream to make my domain business as full time job! I want to start travel because I have never been somewhere and I want to flight for the first time!

Welcome to Namepros.

Domaining is just a side gig.

My main job is a 28-day rotation as an electronics engineer on an offshore oil rig. On my 28 days time off, if I am not attending any trainings, I do the domaining thing and also some work on my website.

So half of the year is for work, the other half is for other stuff of which domaining is part of

Even though it has been discussed previously, Jurgen, I see value in doing it again. New people come to NamePros all the time, and some may have missed previous threads, or not contributed then. I am fascinated by the diversity of other professions that people have! I hope many more will add their contributions to this thread.

I gave my personal answer here, but thought it would be fun to share (almost) all of the jobs I have done over many decades, so here is that list! Scientist, teacher, researcher, writer, design and layout, analysis, berry picker, vegetable stand operator, wholesale grocery shipping clerk, photographer, playground supervisor, climate scientist, professor, speaker, coder, greeting card and novelty sales, babysitter, usher, home-based business, blogger, reviewer, editor, educational resources developer, administrator, construction site assistant, darkroom operator, baking, meteorite sales, calendar maker, event organizer, workshop leader, publisher, canteen operator, and probably a few I have forgotten. Oh and domain analyst and seller.
