How many hours per day do you dedicate to domaining?

[infosec3]

Some people say domaining is addicting. And they are probably right. How many hours a day do you dedicate to domaining? Do you wish you could dedicate more or fewer hours?

 

[SBS66]

Having just started I am anxious to see some results, not big ones mind you just results from what I do that also help me to learn.

My schedule every day:
1. Namebio sales from the prior day; look over the news here and in other places- about

2. Looking for comp sales for those domains I have that I think have a shot at being sold

3. Every 3 days or so, I look at ExpiredDomains.net. About 2 weeks ago I had decided that I wouldn't buy any new domains until something sold. Unfortunately, it is addicting so I've still managed to buy about 4 or 5 domains. But I have made 1 sale at Flippa (very small) and have one pending here, aldo very small.

4. Twice a week I compile lists for outbout emails--I started this about 3 or so weeks ago. Usually I email on Saturdays in blocks of 50, and take a break every 50 outbounds. I use a scheduler to send emails.

1 & 2= about 2 hours
3= about 1 -2 hours
4= about 5-7 hours
Lately I spend some time on twitter at least twice a day, I guesstimate it takes about 1 hour/day total

 

[S-B]

25 hours per day.

If only I had more time.

@SBS66
I see you have a very structured schedule. In reference to your comment about outbound on Saturday, I am sending you a PM, since posting it here will go beyond the scope of this thread. Thanks

I see what you mean. I also try to squeeze the the day...

 

[SBS66]

Yes a bit of a structure

Mind telling us what scheduler you use? @SBS66

Nice routine. Do you have a job, out of interest? I am not sure I would find the time, even for a hobby...

 

[E-Promote]

>domaining is addicting...

Success is addictive.

8am - 2PM Domains
2PM - 3PM (40 year old man nap)
3PM - 12AM Domains

I do. I practice law full time. But I'm an early riser, so usually I'm up by 5. My experience is that I find the time for the things that I like doing. If there is one day when I'm beat after the office then I just don't do the domaining thing.

 

[armed2012]

I bought my first domain 10 days ago or so, im a hands on type of brute kind of guy with little cpu skills, I own a very successful firearms business and I havent paid it a bit of attention in 10 days or so, losing thousands in gun time I could be making while spending thousands on domains, over 900 hand regd in a week or so with 400 returns, go daddy hates me, last night I was up until 6 am trying to hand reg 2 word .coms, I cant stop doing research and buying, RUN its like digital crack! Run away its so interesting

 

[Joseph Green]

Every waking moment: 18-20 hours per day.

 

[AEProgram]

26 hours a day, I wake up 2 hours early.

 

[nomen]

Pretty much 24h a day. Even if I'm not on my computer, tablet, phone, whatever, I've always got at least 10 'cases' open in my head: pondering whether I should reg this and that name, thinking new namepaces/concepts to bulk check, strategizing emails etc.

My girlfriend has developed a new face for me checking domain availability on mobile... First it was just maybe a bit annoyed. Nowadays it's just angry.

How can you look at Namebio sales just for the previous day? What filter do you use?

 

[fico]

6/8 hours

 

[Robin A.]

Nevermind. Found it under "Daily Market Report."

 

[Bram C.]

In my early days of domaining I was busy 12-14 hours per day but lately I'm working on average only 4 hours per day. I have a family as well so I'm spending just enough time on domaining to let them live a comfortable life. Doing this also allows me to spend a lot more time with my son and daughter. I realize that when they will be older I won't have that opportunity anymore and I'm sure I would regret it for the rest of my life if I don't spend this time with them now.
My motto nowadays: I work to live, not live to work.

 

[SBS66]

Exactly. But their landing (home page) lists 100 sales for prior day.

 

[Kate]

I used to sleep, but that was before I started domaining.

 

[guru4444]

5 to 6 hours per day...

 

[Casey L]

Maybe 1-2 hours a day on average. It used to be more but once I developed a succinct routine it became less time consuming
