Hello NP Members,
since 2012, when I started domaining, I was keeping track of "all" purchases, renewals, sales and all expenses related to domaining, but never really put the numbers together, maybe because I was scared of the final result. Now in the beginning of 2017, I finally made the results, as 2016 was really good year for me. I consider myself as "inactive" domainer. I do not send email out to potential end users, just basically parking domains, list @ marketplaces, time by time when my primary business is slow, I am sending domains into auctions or list here @ NP. I always had around 200 domains portfolio. I made so many mistakes, registered and held some worthless subdomains, exotic ccTLDs, non sense domain or even TM domain when I started.
Here is the result:
Lost / dropped domains: $12,383
Live inventory: $35,761
Expenses of sold domains: $9,842
Total expenses: $57,986
Domain sales + parking revenuer (after expenses & commissions): $85,761
Profit: $27,775
But if I wouldn't have the single domain sale last year, I would be still in the hole for $24,725
I hope this will help the Rockies to think twice before hand registering worthless crap as i did.
Last year I was saved by the bell. Anyone else want to share?
