What’s your name?
A: Paul

Where do you live?
A: Planet Earth, Milky way galaxy, Universe.

What’s your level of expertise?
novice, intermediate, expert, etc.
A: Novice

How much experience do you have in the domain industry?
years, experience, etc.
A: Started this year

What would you like to specifically learn first?
how to buy a domain, domain history, best selling strategies, government policies, etc.
A: The very first thing I need to learn - how do I make good friends, acquaintances and partners here? - Then, how do I get sufficient privileges to sell a domain name. - Then I also want to know what’s the catch behind people giving out free domains in the free domain section. - Then most importantly, like most newbies here, how to sell domain names effectively (high prices) and quickly (low prices), and how/where to get/identify good sell able domains

Are you currently working on any projects or ideas?
A: Yes, trying to sell at least one of the ten domains I bought, so I'll know am on the right track.

What are your short-term goals in the next year?
A: To sell a breakthrough domain name; my definition of breakthrough is just in term of tens of thousands.

What are your long-term goals in the next 5 years?
A: I am currently working on a website (I am a website/wordpress developer) which I will give my all for three years, then sell it.

What was your first domain you purchased?
A: The first domains I purchased were for my website projects and my clients, but that's a normal godaddy registration. So I haven't really purchased a domain other than that way. The first domain I sold was bauncer.com, but I didn't register it with the intention of selling it. The first [set of ] domain I bought with the intention of selling it, are jehny.com, ourproduces.com and whatssop.com among ten others [which I am still trying to sell]

PS: they are still for sale

Why did you start investing in domains? Please tell us the story.
A: Well, I am student, studying Engineering, and I fend for myself through website development and other petty jobs, but clients only come in once in a while and it makes my schedule tight, I was inspired when someone out of nowhere requested and bought one of my domain names I was working on. So I did some few research and lots of domain availability checks and thinking, and registered 10 more with the money I got from the first sales. I am currently looking for buyers for these domains and that’s how I found namespro.com . Even though I have only been on my computer searching for 2 weeks now, I was already feeling disappointed already. But I have now accepted the fact that my domain names will sell for less than I expect, or may not sell at all, so I am prepared for both, but I will prefer the first option.

So this is my story, and these are my domain names
- jehny.com
- ourproduces.com
- whatssop.com
- gnldpartner.com
- one9t.com
- ontv29t.com
- on29t.com
- bounsar.com
- hoverload.com
- staymotivatedeveryday.com

Once again, nice to join you all.

Welcome Paul!

If you want to sell a domain for $xx,xxx in your first year, you need to either be:
1. extremely talented or lucky to find an undervalued gem, or
2. a top 5% sales person.

It's certainly possible, just not easy. READ a lot, find a mentor...

If I was in your shoes, I might use my development skills and build out staymotivatedeveryday.com, with crowd-sourced content. Could be an awesome community, with some ads and affiliate sales...
