Domaining - What Are You Doing Now

[Michelle]

Me being alittle nosy at times :p, would like to know what you are doing at this time. Its no big secret that sales are down in general and imo re-selling has never been so low but - what are you doing?

 

[Vito]

Great question...

Since the sales are far and few between,
and parking at 3 different Company's haven't been worth it for me over the last year or so,
and I'm letting domains drop that I know I wil regret dropping in the (hopefully) pretty close future...

I figure I will keep "some" very limited domains for re-sale, and just sit on them for another year or 2.

I will close out a few...quick small sales, here bargain bin, ebay, etc.

But I am really truly taking inventory of the domains that I have a firm belief in, and creating content for them, trying to earn some money while playing the waiting game.
Sites with partners, Mini-sites, and still trying End User Sales, but all in all, just trying to do my best at quick development for my fav's.

development Baby!

Thx mellow!

I've actually graduated into more mature development and the online marketing of what I develop.

 

[kaposzta]

I'm decreasing my portfolio right now, but I always like to buy/reg gems Having a portfolio of more than 500 domains is a burden, if only I could start domaining again. By the way, is anyone interested in buying about 450 names for $1000?

 

[Eric]

Development baby!


Fixed the Poll, MM - seems vB made a mistake and gave two threads the same pollid, one thread was closed which caused the poll not to work.

Developing (and when I say developing, I mean developing -- not throwing up some turnkey or "built for Adsense"/Wordpress crap) what is worthwhile to develop and letting the rest expire. I wasted so much time selling crap-tastic domain names to resellers, and I wish I would have spent that time, money, and effort developing sites and actually doing something worthwhile.

 

[philski]

im letting 80% drop and buying up 3 letters when i can afford them. Advertising revenue has been stronger than i would have expected. I guess businesses want to survive.
ditto development. But "with" built for adsense. interactive and visual.

 

[onewordonly]

I'm doing a number of the options, devloping, buying but mainly off loading a number if silly reg's last year.

 

[skylineleong]

no drop option?

drop 20% domain.

 

[Steven]

Mostly buying.
Selling some.
Developing a few.

 

[siga]

Buying a few solid (imho) domains which I could either sell or develop given time and trying to sell others to pay for them.

I'll be dropping a few which I hand regged last year. As trying to get rid of the weakest

 

[Michelle]

Thanks guys :tu:

Early days on the voting but I would have thought after what I had seen around more people saying they are selling up? More of you are buying then I thought

I think I can see from this that members are mainly trimming up and keeping the better names and more are developing

Thanks for taking time out to say :hearts:

 

[DotWeekly]

Development Baby, but I am also buying gems when I can find good deals.

 

[-REECE-]

6:30 am, haven't slept, spent the whole night writing 8 pages for a credit card site I'm working on and now browsing Namepros because I don't feel like sleeping but I don't feel like doing any more work either

 

[dezinerite]

I chose 'keeping some and selling some' as well as 'developing'. That's pretty much what I do. Except I've had to stop a bit due to how busy I am at school but hopefully I get more into it after that.

 

[WORDSWORTH]

Mainly selling but always on the lookout for bargains too. I'm mainly keeping my best short .com domains and generic .com names with traffic and revenue.
