1. Kind of... I make a living video taping stuff and the dottv network I and my biz partner have deveopled and is currently being refinned allows me to get more clients than i other wise would have.. When i turn clients on to our network they love it, they understand we are young with virtually zero traffic at this time, but whats cool is they then advertise lets say " DWI247.TV " (means driven while intoxicaed in NYS) locally in northen NY and when traffic goes to them they then contnue to surf ollo.. Ive leased that channel with an under standing that if things go the way we ant them to they are locked in.. at this time we lease 4 channels on a yearly basis.. this includes video production services we provide..

Self employed as an Affiliate Manager, overseeing merchant affiliate programs from my own portal, MerchantRevenue.com. Several .tv domains, such as Figurines.tv, will be developed as merchant sites, offering videos of each product. Additionally, I will have a small network of 'social' sites developed for specific niches.

Are you satisfied with your experience with domains whether pure domaining and or development ?

Yeah, domaining has been an eye opener. I ate about fifty .bz domains at the start and figured out fairly quickly that you better have a use for a domain if you register it. Some of my registrations I made simply to hold onto for a few years until I have the time to get to them.

How much have you spent acquiring .tv since you started investing in the extension ?

In the $5000 area. I have yet to purchase a premium domain, just focussed on the great keywords that were standard reg fee.

No. So far I have reinvested all of my sales back into domains.

No major development plans and I hope that some investments in .TV will pay out well in the coming years.

Yes, although I made mistakes in the start with registering wrong names, including expensive premiums. That's probably just a learning process I guess.

Hey Ray can I add a question to this? I was wondering if we could ask people if they have more premium .tv's or normal reg fee .tv's Maybe this question needs to be modified, as I imagine most people have more normal reg fee .tv names, as I know I do.
