Looking for Mentor

[Margaret Lawrence]

Hi, I'm a digital media designer and developer. Due giving birth recently I am not working. I have been interested in domain flipping for a long time. After much reading and playing around I'm excited to dig in. I would so appreciate it if anyone would be willing to mentor me on this journey. Their expertise would be priceless and help me out tremendously. Thanks!!

Don't listen to any one person but read for months what is selling and sold then go with the gut feeling as you now have a plan what your looking for know the audience your selling to. Don't just dive in. I can imagine the kind of mentor you might get some know it all with no idea offering information... Much like myself.

Hey @Margaret Lawrence welcome to NP!
I am not very experienced but I am in collaboration with a domain broker who assists me in buying and selling. This may be another avenue to pursue.

Thanks and goodluck!

Hi Welcome and proceed cautiously.

Don't risk more than you can afford to lose and remember this is a shark pool.

If you were experimenting with equities you could have a fantasy portfolio to track. Not a bad idea with domains but turnover is so slow and sales often secret so there is little to watch. You could just try your luck by limiting yourself tot 5 to 10 domains and making them count, as a learning experience.

Be careful and start slow. It is very easy to lose money flipping domains. Good luck!

Hello there.

Don't buy a domain for the first 6 months. Just read, learn and watch.

Hi and welcome to namePros !

Some sensible advice has already been giving to you above, if you have development skills make sure you use them, domaining alone is very hard to profit from !

Buying low and sell high is the best way to go and with development skills you can make this happen !

Keep in mind this is an open forum, so there are many conflicting opinions but the good advice is available here, you will learn how to filter out the rest in time - just keep reading !

PM me here if you want some of my advice or any questions answered.
