Is domain selling your day job?

[Quality Names]

I only got to really know about the domain industry and to start investing in domains last year, and even though I follow the market and see some people making incredible sales from time to time...I always wonder if only a few people here at namepros or in the industry in general are lucky enough to make a living exclusively out of domain selling...
Do most professional domainers need to have a day job?

Part time for me, soon to be doing realestate part time also. With a decent fulltime job to make a living. I'm in this to make money But it's my favorite hobby also. Love domaining!

I can personally attest to HASROB's love of domaining!!!

I myself am in a siuation where I am forced ito doing it full time, due to a lung disease which I have had for the last four months.

I have another two months of short term disability income from my day job , then my disability insurance drops to two thirds of my salary.

So I am hoping that my domaining career will make up for the shortfall in my wages.......I have made some big bets in .TV and have also diversified pretty heavily into PPC traffic domains,,,,,,in the next two months, I will decide on one of my names to develop with a budget of $10,000, the rest I hope to sell or park.......or lease......so diversification will be key for me.........

This is by far the most exciting form of business I have ever been involved in short of spread betting the financial markets which is really a 24/7 global casino......was not disciplined enough...made loads, lost even more and sometimes went without sleep 3 days in a trot.......domaining is the perfect fit for me!!!!!!!

Cheers

For me, I can earn an excellent living in domaining industry,especially domain parking. Just because my hometown is in a developing country but I can go into global market in domaing industry, earn me enough money without tax.
But I don't want to make domaining my full-time work.
I prefer starting my own business after my PhD study and I love communicating with others in the real world, but not only staying near computer and finding traffic domains.
So I will make domaining my second job in the future, maybe in my whole life.
