Welcome my friend!
Iam fairly new myself and what i have realized is:
1) Don't buy anything for atleast 6 months.
2) Just read everything with respect to sales and the general process of aftermarkets.
3) Read some trademark violation cases to get a perspective.
4) Don't invest anything you cannot afford to lose..It is not easy to sell and the wait time of some punter's is a decade.
5) Don't believe in the Hype...most have a vested interest...guard yourself against unwarranted influence.
6) Have a real job...it's far easier to make big money in real life...Domaining could be an expensive hobby..
7) There are always a few outliers...hope you are the one..Good Luck!
My Sincere advice is leave domaining right now,otherwise you gonna regret it like I am now.
This is not a colourful world like you think,this industry is dry and dead long ago.
Just log out and never never come back again to this site.
