discuss Submit your Tips for New Domainers

[James Iles]

A couple of months ago, I posted this thread asking for submissions to a "Common Domainers Mistakes" article that I was writing for NamePros.com's Blog. I plan on creating another article entitled "Ten Tips for New Domainers".

It would be great to get input from you all, to get your pieces of advice for new investors. These pieces of advice can be anything from what not to invest in to recommended blogs to read.

Suggestions that are used in the article will of course be attributed to you.

Let's see what you've got!

Don't Drink and Domain.

That is all I got.

i say:

don't take everything you read, hear about or watch on a video, at face value.
look for contradictions, don't be afraid to ask questions.

learn how to read between the lines, and learn how to recognize the lines that are intended to reel you in.

be aware that "you" are also, a potential profit center...meaning that some are looking to make money off you, before, during and even after you buy or sell a name.

from appraisal scams to fake paypal and godaddy emails, to unsolicited offers for seo or hosting services, you'll be a target, so keep your eyes open and stay focused.

and remember, if the deal is too good to be true....then 96.543% of the time, it is.

Good Luck!

imo...

Don't price your 'for sale domains' like you're hoping to pay off the national debt in one sale!
