Hello dear NamePros-community!
I am happy to have joined.
I wish you all as much health as possible during these times!
Let me start by saying this:
In times so dominated by digital communication and inter-connectivity, twitter-bots etc., it is so easy to feel weirdly alone even though we technically are online with hundreds or even thousands of other profiles at the same time.
Although I have only joined today, I have already recently been visiting NamePros and its discussions and to my delight, I have discovered that there truly are a lot of good people on this forum giving advice to noobies like me and others.
People who have gone through the worst, lost money, made big mistakes, and now are sharing their knowledge with this forum.
Just like with any forum, society, tribe etc., you are what is most important to our growth.
The shoulders of giants that we stand on, so to speak. The tribe's eldest and wisest.
In what is only a small exaggeration, NamePros has been around almost as long as I live. Many of you have seen the best and the worst of the industry and of this forum.
I really do not take it for granted that you are still trying to help us noobies succeed after being around for so many years. You don't have to do it. You have seen enough. Been through enough.
The second part I want to mention is the kindness that I have seen.
This second category does not just refer to the willingness to transfer knowledge, but also to HOW someone is communicating, both when he/she is voicing agreement/support OR disagreement/criticism.
From what I have seen,
@Samer @Bob Hawkes @Ategy @NameShiba
really stand out in that category. At least generally speaking. I haven't checked every one of their posts.
We need more people like you. (Not just in this forum)
This kindness is what is at the core of this forum as well as the internet and every marketplace on it: The more users it has, the more competition we/you will have, the more effort you will have to put in to keep standing out amongst your fellow sellers.
It is therefore increasingly commendable when someone is able to incorporate a kind, supportive & cooperative attitude despite the competition growing around him every day.
(Which is not 100% accurate since more users does not just mean more competing sellers, but also means more buyers.)
Abundance mindset
If I have learned anything in my pretty short life, it's that one of the healthiest things you can do is to develop an abundance mindset. Which is to say that "There is enough around for everyone"
This mindset will also prove to be really healthy to my fellow domainers - both noobies and pros:
Don't lose hope. Even if you didn't sell cars(.)com for millions of dollars. Even if you weren't able to purchase the domain you thought would be your greatest idea but it was already taken.
There is enough out there for all of us. Including you.
Keep trying.
Even though there are MANY strategies you could and should use in the domain industry (most of which I haven't learned yet and many of which I probably will struggle to master), it is also important to ask yourself WHY you are trying to sell your domain.
Just ask yourselves this:
If you had to come up with 50,000 $ for the cancer treatment of one of your loved ones, how much more successful would you be than you are right now? How much more would you be WILLING to learn the best strategies and find the hottest domains & customers/buyers?
Granted, this is a hypothetical that might even upset you, but asking yourself WHY you are even selling domains might greatly impact your effectiveness and income. What goal are you working towards?
For me, that goal is a life coach & film director education and significantly improving the lives of my parents. Plus being able to financially live independent from them by having a high enough cashflow.
So I try my "luck" in domaining, among other things.
I have had my fair share of bad purchases, and I will continue to have them. Many domains I bought will probably not sell as good as I wanted them to - or even sell at all.
Others - lets put it this way - at least have the potential to allow me to achieve my aforementioned goals.
But - again - noobie here.
the-best-domain-in-the-www(.)com
Well - there is only one. Need I say more?
spacehomes(.)co
Especially interesting for accomodation during space expansion. Value will increase with high certainty.
4-2-0(.)biz & 4-2-0(.)cloud
The dot cloud version is even more appealing :P
cashflow-guru(.)com
Useable as a site to help people understand/increase their finances/cashflow
hello-inter(.)net
Well, not really the greatest usability, but still an intriguing combination.
ineed(.)tips
Useful for How-tos á la WikiHOW
i-want-to-help(.)org
Could become a great resource to guide people in helping others/donating/volunteering.
Alright, that was a lengthy but honest and heartfelt introduction.
Glad to have joined you!
P.S.: I currently don't have the funds, but I want to give YOU the opportunity to make some money. ("YOU" obviously only being the first person reading this and taking action)
I once had a domain which is no longer in my possession but could yield some great results:
essential(.)solutions
Purchaseable for ~160 €, appraised by GoDaddy for 866 €
Happy domaining :D
