question So...How Committed Are You??

[DanBingham]

We all start somewhere, and how successful we want to be is down to how committed we are.

Those who have the drive, determination and who put in the hard work will be successful. It takes time, but then comes the experience you pick up along the way.

As a Domain Name Investor, how committed to this industry are you?

Not very. I was just a hobby domain collector until I got swept up in the great 4L.com buy out of ~2008(?)
All I have to say is THANK YOU ChiPs! I'm on the verge of selling off my last "investment" domains and going back to just for fun and keeping the collection to 100 domains max.

Well done you for holding out, my biggest mistake with CHIPS was letting them go far too early, well done for keeping the faith!

I m still committed with it and I have believe that determination is not enough, our skills, our learning, how we are creative, decision making and luck also involved.

I work about 26 hours / day on domaining but
thats not commitment , right?

Germans are a very industrious people.

Domainers love to throw around words like commitment and patience. But, at the end of the day it comes down to the quality of your names and pricing them right. All the commitment in the world won't make up for overpriced domains that nobody really wants. I would venture to say 99% of domains that most end users want are in the hands of the top 1% of domainers. So, it's an uphill battle to say the least.

Yes forgot about this, pricing domains is a very tricky task.

Binary thinking.. I myself am more committed right after having my morning coffee.

When I am asked the price of my domains, I reply with "How much you got?"

No worries, I have a day job selling fine used automobiles.
