Hello
@ImperiousDon and welcome to NamePros!
As like
@slader23 said, take your time firsr to study and learn things, at domain investing and investing to any kind of things, you can expect to make money immediately. You must know your product, domain or whatever you invest.
Slader give you great links to check and where you can learn. I made my first sale after 6 months, so this is waiting game. I suggest you to hold on now a moment, don't reg any domains, just read and learn what are typical mistakes for beginners and how you can avoid them.
Here at NamePros, you can find great deals, if you know what you are buying. When you are buying domain name, first trace down at
NameBio.com does that keyword has any recorded sales. So, example if someone is selling GreatProperties.com, go to NameBio and track down first how many sales there are for Properties keyword and when Properties keyword is in the end. Then check out sales, where Great keyword is in the start.
You can check too, how many extensions is taken with those keywords (
www.DotDB.com). And ALWAYS when you buy a domain name, ask for yourself - Would I use this domain for my business. If you are not sure, create a thread to the
Appraisal section.
Here is some tips for you first.
