nah the "average domainer" probably hasnt even found the forums.. they register a bunch of domains after hearing some story about someone making money.. then the domains sit there and eventually drop or they eventually find the forums and go ah-ha
:talk:
so, should they even be considered in the group of "domainers", until they've made a committment or experienced the process over a specific time period?
like some newb who just walked in the door, bought 3 names with a gd coupon code and posts for an appraisal.....are they domainers
Easy. It's the 99% who are doing domaining as a 'hobby'... usually at a loss.
:talk:
what % of those "hobbyist" do you think are just sustaining or may be seeing progress, and the % who are operating at a profit?
No way to know unless one performed a survey.
Without that, most people are probably biased by their own experiences.
One problem with a survey is that I don't think many people want to share that information
:talk:
not really a survey per se`, just wanting to know, in your own words, what you think an average domainer is.
I'm sure there have been survey done before on this.
Kate is right though, the average domainer just does this for a hobby - there are very few who make big profits from this industry and even fewer who consider domaining their full time job.
:talk:
so you think the average domainer is doing this as a hobby?
what percent of those who you think operate at a profit, are full time domainers?
and would full timers be considered in the group of "average domainer"?
Please post your earning in a year..
Well, I'm still in learning phase so I would say I didn't make any profit, but lose as well...
:talk:
i'm not asking about what any individual domainer earns, cuz that's not my business, nor is it why i posed the question.
whether you lost money, made money or didn't spend any at all, isn't telling me, what you think an average domain is.
but i'd like to ask you this:
if you're still "learning" do you consider yourself a domainer, an average domainer or what?
