poll Do you care about profit?

[redemo]

I register domain names to make a profit from them, except for a few which are not-for-profit. I don't care how I profit from a domain name as long as it's a. legal and b.ethical. Who's here to make a profit and who's here just for the fun? (which is fine, by the way).

You are just reinforcing my point. If your domains are not bad, then you should not drop them.

Have you seen the average quality domain registration?

Renewing bad domains is just bad business. Everyone has some, the less you have the better.

The bottom line is some domains are just liabilities, and should be dropped.

I just think most domainers care about making profit. They don't take it seriously at all.

This doesnt make sense becuase Inorder to be a successful domainer you need to be profitable first and foremost...

If you use strategy a or strategy b... doesnt matter at the end of the day... if it is not profitable ...

When you buy shit domain names... ur not thinking about profit at all becuase you dont ever need to worry about those names selling.

Yeah, I don't think people really plan to not make a profit, it just happens naturally from poor decisions, planning, lack of business model, etc.

Domainers make shit decisions all the time. That's a standard part of the process. I'm saying most domainers either don't learn from their mistakes or just give up way too early. You don't need to jump out of your boat just because there's a hole in it or your sail gets ripped. If John Doe domainer has a gun pointed at his head and three months to make a profit, you can be goddam sure he makes a profit. But without urgency there's laziness.

That is just what you get in a field with a low barrier to entry and without a clear path to follow.

Every time I look at the appraisal section I think, man it must be nice to be the registry and registrar.
