My Million Dollar Domain Hobby

[gurgeous]

Hi guys. I published a long tell-all describing the blood, sweat and code that went into building my million dollar .ai/.io portfolio. Here's the link - medium.com/@amd_2793/my-million-dollar-domain-hobby-c74b14db4e64

Some tidbits from the post - crawling whois, building a drop catching system from scratch, the time I accidentally DOS'd the island of Anguilla, Google's .app auctions as a metric for domain value, how to handle leads when you have no time, the intricacies of the monthly .ai auctions, etc.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us !

You knew domaining before domainers, which let you to succeed in your venture, it was fascinating to read your story and gained many useful details and things I haven't been aware about before, and really inspiring for new comers !

It's easy to guess that eth.io was a good gem, congrats for this new competence aquired and good luck for others.

Which hobby should I try next?

Congrats on making your million dollar milestone. I would only claim it after i sold a million dollars in sales some will claim it from their Godaddy valuations. My gut feeling is you have 25 domains all worth hundreds of thousands each am i right?

yea most newbies have no clue just how hard it is to make good money in domains...so blood and sweat sure is key here... and true

but park io is bad place to buy from for domainers as most end prices there are definitely not worth the domains won ... if u pay 1k for some avg keyword 1word io yer chance of roi is slim.

Also, I recommend reading that post. It's a good read.

Let's see. To answer some of the questions above:

Q: park.io is a bad place to buy from
A: Yes, I learned this over time. I think the same thing might be true of the .ai auctions at this point. I'm getting plenty of leads so I have a reasonable handle on value. How long am I willing to wait to sell high value domains? It's just a hobby!

Q: Can u post here what u think are your most valuable 3 names?
A: Hard to say, really. Some of my favorites are blueprint.ai, pixel.ai & text.ai. It all depends on the buyer, though. I just think those three would make great company names.

What’s the most you’ve paid for a single .io?

 

[Grego85]

to the OP: I dont think you have made anywhere near 1 million, nor will you in the next few years.

You aren't as good as you think at drop catching, or I'd actually know who you are... The who-is doesn't lie and tells all.

keep building, and stay excited.. I do like your style.. one day you may very well have a million dollar portfolio

Q: What’s the most you’ve paid for a single .io?
A: Most I paid for a .io was 9k, which I managed to sell for 2.5x.

OMG, such a negativity ?! Can you give some proofs about what you are talking or just to be desagreable with new members, or it's some kind of jealousy !!! I don't believe I am reading such things ... I know there is people like this here who only intervenes to say nothing/or not helpful stuffs like criticism etc. but not at this point !

I didn't have to repost like this so as not to pollute the thread like others did, but it's stronger than me !!

Keep going man, close your eyes and ignore them.
