Last month I joined NamePros without really knowing what to expect.

1779172772311.png

But I got onboard NamePros. Starting a trip to unknown waters.

Since then I have enjoyed many interesting discussions, learned a lot, discovered new ideas, and met people with very different ways of looking at domains, branding, business, and the future.

Some people see domains mainly as numbers, value, and statistics.
Others see stories, projects, identities, and possibilities waiting somewhere beyond the horizon.

Personally, I think I belong a little more to the second group.

So this small boat is perhaps a symbol of the next stage of the journey.

The water looks friendly.
The boat is ready.
The other shore is visible — but still unknown.

And anyone who enjoys the journey is welcome onboard.

I like the way you described it as unknown waters. That is actually pretty close to how domaining feels at the beginning.

Enjoy the journey. :giggle:

You will be on that boat a very long time. I hope you don't get seasick (discouraged) or get eaten by a gator ( lose all you money). Take high end fishing equipment. Buy good bait (domains) to catch big fish (End Users). The other side is reached when you die and all your left over bait (domains) are unloaded from the boat and sold by your registrar. :wideyed:

Sailing on a Long Trip
Above korganian wrote that I would be on “that boat a very long time”.
Well, it is correct that I am planning to sail for a very long time!
But should I make the long trip in my motorboat?
Or should I make my long trip in a sailboat?

I would love it if some of you give me some advice and tips about my “Sailing Plans”.

Thanks for letting me know about this thread via direct message...

As I mentioned previously, i think that your extensive career sales experience may be very beneficial to your domain journey. You're starting out with one of the harder key-elements of playing the domain game in your pocket with that life experience.

With your career in your pocket, I would suggest both, a slightly larger sail boat with most the creature comfort amenities inside and added solar battery charging stations around the boat. Then have a motorized pull along behind it, that way you can take your time without feeling rushed to dig through all the data and identify the perfect lead demographics and targets.

Then you can drop anchor, hop in the motorized pull along and snatch what you need with speed and accuracy. Then return to your sail boat to slow back down, process everything, formulate a pitch and lay out your rebuttals, before starting any outbound, inbound, SEM/SEO campaigns.

You asked for some reading materials that might help provide additional perspectives and ideas, so I put the list together below to accommodate. just keep in mind that everyone does this differently and what works for one may not work for another. Each domain investor comes in with a different set of skills from previous and current careers which is generally a motivating factor in how they structure their venture at first.

I do think it's important (And always suggest) that anyone getting started in this industry, just dip a toe in at first and focus on a niche they already know, which makes it easier to communicate in that niches slang, understand the target demographics, communicate fluently, formulate a pitch and no need to write the rebuttals down, because they're memorized from years of niche experience. Whether it be a career or a hobby, if one was immersed in it for a long period of time, it might be easier to tune in and build from a foundation that already exists, rather than start a new foundation on unsteady (Just starting out) ground. One can always branch out as they learn, grow and get ready to scale.

Here's the list of reading material, I know it's a lot all at once to try and soak in and it may be stuff you already know with your career experiences, so, cherry pick what jumps out as most interesting first, then you can decide if you want to check some of the others.
And for domain beginners, the following 2 from @Future Sensors are a great read:
All the links I provided above are just starting points, personal opinions, personal experiences over the years, data research and analysis,. A mix, but remember, at the end of the day, a domain name is truly only worth what a buyer and seller agree on.

Additionally (Reminder), what works for one may not work for another and vice versa.

Enjoy!

And i look forward to seeing how your journey rolls out.
