Hello all,
I have put this question out in the beginners section despite having been on Namepros for a few years. In the past i have been time challenged and financially challenged coupled with a large amount of procrastination and have not really moved along the Domaining journey much. Now we find ourselves in a world pandemic with all the associated restrictions that normality is looking very different today than it did a month ago or even a week ago. With disruption and change comes opportunity. I am fortunate to be able to work from home and i am in the higher risk group with my Type 2 Diabetes so am self isolating at home for the next 12 weeks at least.
I see my time challenges improving and my financial challenges are slightly better but not my procrastination. I would like to continue my journey in the domaining world and see the next few months as the time to do it.
Therefore i am asking if there is a kind soul on Namepros that has enjoyed some succes in the domaining business that would like the opportunity to Mentor me in my domaining journey.
I am hopefully deducing correctly from some of the posts recently on namepros that the natural current of domain name sales is being affected by the Corona Virus pandemic and many people are taking the opportunity to re-assess their portfolios and ride out this time of uncertainty. Hopefully this will give some domainers a bit of capacity timewise to pass on their knowledge to newer members and procrastinators (like myself) and give them a leg up the learning ladder so to speak.
I realise this is asking a lot as all of you that currently operate in the domain world have had to learn along the way yourselves and no doubt have had failures and mishaps along the way. But seeing as the other side of this pandemic may present a different world where more of the normal real world activity goes digital and reside on the internet now is the time to prepare and improve our knowledge to be able to leverage this potential opportunity.
To give a bit of background on me:
Kind regards,
Somertonian

To give a bit of background on me:
- I have a portfolio of roughly 50 names i have hand registered over the last 5 years (i did have some more, but let them drop as they were either not good or i couldn't afford the yearly registering fees)
- I have names in Crypto, DApps, DeFi, New Technology, some GEO names and a few randoms
- I have my domains on Epik and Godaddy (in the process of moving from Godaddy to Epik)
- I live in the UK
- I would like to develop some of the names into websites, but mostly like to sell the domains
- I ackowledge that my names are not great names but i am hopeful that a few will be worth developing/promoting
- Willing to listen and learn as so far i haven't been able to 'crack this nut' on my own
Kind regards,
Somertonian
