Why did you start investing in domains? Please tell us the story.
A: I never really considered that domains had a dollar value until it appeared on my GoDaddy account. I had created domains for the projects I was working on but that was my total thought process around domains. I tried earlier this year to create a new domain only to find it already existed and it had a very expensive price tag. Then just for fun I started to come up with random domain names to see if they existed and if so, how much they were asking for them. This got me hooked on thinking about names and after I had either created or purchased a bunch of them I figured I should look into selling them as well. Now I’m hooked and I want to know all there is to know about the industry!
