3rd layoff in 7 years - sick of working for other people. I have had some success doing this - contemplating doing this for a living. May just start and see how I do for a while job hunting. Ugh
With industry turnover in the 1% range and most end users viewing domains as a $XX expenditure, I believe one could say that website development and online marketing skills are probably better compensated than the typical domain portfolio.
Nope.... Only domains registered at NSCan you do that with a name not registered with namesilo?
Self Employment is the best investment you can make. Period. You control your time, your destiny and call all the shots. Sure its stressful and cyclical, but well worth the price imho.
I was forced to go out on my own to avoid relocating for a industry downsizing and similar situation and looking back with absolutely no regrets and retired very early. I did a variety of things consulting, training, trading, mfg rep, brokering, buying/selling, never borrowed a dime and no financial help other than advice mentors.
In fact it's way better investing your time on specific skills than than an Ivy League diploma. Go for it!
One additional thing, if you don't attempt it NOW, you may regret it in the future now you have the opportunity to start your own business.
I wouldn't invest anything with scared money but that's just me. Since I was laid off last week I have not spent a penny on a domain name. Myself and my family come first. When I start a new job or start selling more names I will spend.Very inspirational. I just graduated college last month and now I am unemployed too but always wanted to seek additional sources of income and maybe start my own brand. With only a $X,XXX dollars to my name, any suggestions of what I can invest in?

Bartending, strip clubs, stand up comic, selling life insurance.
Is that all made up? Your LinkedIn doesn't seem like you were bartending until you're 34?

1993ish?I think it just changed to TDH when my brother (rip) and I went the first time...they just started serving/offering breakfast and sat us right up front...we were the first. I was way skeptical about the quality but it was very good...trying to remember the year...
Thank you sirYou wrote a captivating crazy life story there to hook the reader....well done.
Screw the comedy club - way to kick cancers ass! That is the most amazing beautiful news I have heard all day. Puts this petty discussion into perspectiveWas that a J Walters club? I ran marketing/floor manager for his club in Charlotte (plum crazy) when it opened...seems he had something to do with charlies.
I apologize for changing the direction of the thread....it was a nice trip down memory lane...thanks.
BTW all...ten years ago this day I was given 3 months to live with stage 4 cancer...still proving them wrong...never give up whether it is on living or domaining!!!
