discuss Teachable rates domaining - 1 out of 5 stars

[infosec3]

I recently received an email from Teachable.com, with a video titled 17 proven ways to make money online. They rate each money-making activity on a scale from one to five stars.

Their list goes from selling services on Fiverr to selling photos, blogging, and a few others. But my focus here is the fact that they give domaining only 1 out of 5 stars.

Their justification for such low rating is, "it's very difficult to predict which domain would be a smart investment".

My problem with that statement is that they imply that making money with domains is just a matter of luck. They even say that if you "can think of the name first" you can sell it for a profit. Maybe that was true in the 90s. Not anymore.

The reason why domaining is difficult is because it requires a set of skills that must include the following:

1. You must learn to identify what is worth it and invest in the right names.
2. You must be a good negotiator.
3. You must know where and how to promote your domains.

Correct..

The other examples of ways to earn online mentioned above are very popular and numerous gurus teaching / showing that...
Where as Domaining is not at all comparable with them and it is not as mainstream as other examples...I think the writer of article doesn't have deep / sufficient knowledge to predict / assess the field.

We can safely say that number of domainers are far less than number of people earning from affiliate/blogging/freelancer works etc.

This definitely gives less exposure to outsiders...the writer should have took some established domainers assistance to get full picture and clear picture.
