Is it a good idea to attach with a pro domainer of the industry and find them new domains for some bucks.
Because many of us don't have investment in the start.

PS: i am finding a pro domainer

Pro domainers normally don't need help from newbies.
It's the other way around.

Usman,
You have the passion to learn and earn :) Keep that passion on and you will find a way.

A lot of rich domainers today were not having any big investment couple of years before. Many of them succeeded with their great passion , attention to the detail and working hard.

There is no shortcut success. Even if we find such shortcuts , greater chancers we will fallback in the longrun.

The best and sustainable approach you can take here is choose the ProDomainers whom you believe are doing good and follow their activity carefully ( Don't follow them blindly though - analyse their actions carefully).

Also read the blogs , watch the videos , listen to the podcasts..etc , a lot of free resources are available to learn.

Once you have the knowledge , rest will fall in line. Focus more attention on learning.

Please remember these 5 important points before starting your journey in domaining.

1) Domaining is not get quick rich scheme. Be ready to work hard, be ready to learn every minute, be ready to be more creative. A lot of domainers hold their names for several years before scoring some real success stories , a lot of patience is required in this game. Offcourse, there could be few people who scored great success in the first year itself.

2) Time is money - Value your time and others time. You have to keep trying until you find a way. If you are requesting help from others , please do some home work and ask the right questions to them

3) Trust Data better than trusting opinions - In the early days better to keep your learning more focused on data. e.g : what category of names are selling, where they are getting sold , who is buying them..etc .. keep asking questions and use the reliable data sources like Namebio.com

4) Knowledge is the Power & Be-Humble - There are a lot of domainers who love to spread the knowledge via their blogs, podcasts, videos and forum messages..etc, respect their time and thank them for their support. Being humble is very important.

5) Be ready to give back - Once you are successful , take the opportunity to thank and give back to the community in what ever form or shape you can. :)

All the best..

P.s: Although I have not helped you to give the prodomainer support , but I genuinely tried to give some good inputs.

Good morning.

I have 2 pieces of advice to give you.

1 - When someone writes a book they are told to write about what they know. For example if you live at the top of a snow topped mountain it would make sense to talk about how cold it is living up a mountain. There would be many day to day challenges. However, it would be much more difficult to write about what it is like living in the middle of the Sahara Desert.

If English is not your first language then for now you should concentrate on words and phrases in your first language. What can you sell with the skills that you already have? If you are a chef or a baker then you will know that names relating to food in your language will be popular and more easy to sell.

2 - I started domaining with $200 which may be a lot of money to many people. This was 2 years ago. I now have 950 domain names. I receive about 1,000 views per month on Efty.com but I have only sold two names. I have received offers which I have accepted but I did not complete the sale for one reason or another.

If you are prepared to work hard and study and learn then you can achieve anything.

If I can do it you can too. You have to believe in yourself.

Start slow and make mistakes which is what we all do. Learn from your mistakes and don't make them again.

Enjoy your journey.

Regards,

Reddstagg

First you need to learn domaining as soon you will learn i am sure you will never find any pro for buying domains because you will buy yourself..you will arrange funds for sure
Goodluck

I really do understand your wish But Sorry, But that is probably never going to work. The professional domainers have all the tools and resources already at their disposal. On a basic level it can also bring about a hell of a lot of conflicts. The inexperienced domainer is unlikely to hold the 'knowledge base' to really understand/separate the wheat from the chaff (and the often complex reasons what separates them )

A domainer that has a very fine set of parameters -'probably for a client' may reach out, but they can already do that via the Board. Maybe advertise your time/services for that sort of requirement but don't expect returns until you've shown a real understanding of domains. A good commission or two under your belt may well build you a worthwhile reputation.

I really wish you the best of Luck

No it isn't a good idea your going to bother people and are unskilled. Want a better way in find buyers for domainers we don't need anyone to come up with names that is the easy part so you think. I can't afford to register everything i want to till sell some more.

How can i find a potential and trusted invester

You need to get on message - Your not going to.

There's been plenty of replies to your original question everyone genuinely trying to help you find your feet. You have to realise there's hundreds of new domainers on NP of which you are one .. Repeating your request isn't going to find your elusive mentor/investor.

Perhaps try to team up with another new comer (Newbie) to share lessons learnt as you go forward

side note also for those that english is hard to understand, copy the text and then go to google translator or bing translator and read it in your own language. It will help, and then type your language in the translator for the response and copy the english. ty. :)

Possible, but very rare. When I first listed a domain for sale, my very first attempt of selling a domain name for $100 in 2003, it was bought right away. I assumed he was a pro-domainer, and owned some good domains then, though I no longer find his name in any domain forums actively posting these days, maybe he quit or changed username.

Pro-domainers seek quality domains for cheaper price which most beginners don't own.

I think you need to start to understand the history of the industry and the success stories. Relying on anyone can't help you succeed quickly.

Use the Interpreter tools

sure they will only give you a basic interpretation but it's there - I use them for German, French , and what ever. Don't be left behind in conversational tools

Start with hand registrations, you can comes with 8 bucks from somewhere no?

Even from pro domainers to another, each of them invests on domains they trust and believe on, do you think they will invest on the domain names you believe are great while you don't yourself afford to? How are you sure that your domains will be sold for sure?


Good luck and wish you success.

I have to post for year ? 😯
it is not the point or rule...the point is give your another option, u can start your business in that way with "0" cash invest as you expected...if u do have talents here, lots of people will follow your post, and buy the suggested name, and u can get some income as well....if u check that section u can find some respected pro member post this tpye of list for many years....

I consider that a pro domainer might agree on this, but only if you could predict and foresee the future of those domains you are going to offer for registration, in this way their and your success will be guaranteed.
To predict the future of a domain name you need to do allot of research and learn from this great forums, but also on whole internet, the more you learn the more you can predict and grow.

Great way, but the translator is not always right

Well, I'm a newbie like you and I don't think your plan can work for the reasons mentioned above. But you can still do that type of job and earn some bucks. Just study deeply the names that are being published on SquadHelp and Brandbucket. If you really understand what they are looking for, you can handreg names they will accept. Once your handregs are published you can resell them here for 3X reg fee or even more.

Handreg >> Publish on BB or SH >> resell the name

Repeat the process until you have enough money and start creating you own portfolio. At the end of the story you will be a pro domainer!

Good luck :)
