Haha, I hear you Krossat, yes for the most part most of my thirty are pretty worthless at this point, but yes, as of today I have curbed my domaining spree. Thanks for the insight, I'm definitely going to spend some time learning and hopefully I can write off the recent $250 as a good education.
Speaking of learning, any particular blogs, books, post that you could recommend? I sort of wanted to get Morgan Linston's ebook, but $70 for it seems a little scammy. Thanks again!
umm I havent been actively domaining for the past couple of years, so wouldnt know much about the resource out there.
The only thing is, if you cant invest in premiums (high value, established value domains like LLL.com's / one worders with a commercial niche), you need to invest in names that are closely linked to a niche you are aware of.
For example, I'm into IT, so I generally buy names which make sense to me in the IT domain, and I approach local companies to sell the same. I have been developing database based and joomla sites so I offer these names as a solution (including coding the site).
If your not into developing, use the knowledge you have in a particular niche to approach companies in the same and sell them the domain name as a concept. This way, if the name doesent make sense to you, you wouldnt reg it. (like would you buy a name for a price you are offering it to prospective buyers, if you were in their place???)
For me, I just look for a few hundred dollars profit (which includes the development part), so for me, I use the domain as a means to sell my coding skills.
Tell me a little about what you do,other than domaining and I would be able to suggest better.
Sorry for the typos etc though.
Cheers.
