@MasterOfMyDomains I dare you to send a portfolio link by DM to anyone who asks for it. Let's see some of the crap names you yourself have registered

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

imadoer had a look at my portfolio, he liked it but said i needed more .com
so i went booked about 40 more .COM at NS
Go register LiquidPlants,com on my list for a while
What i see is hydroponic growing, as thats what hydroponics are. Plants in water
Not a good name for a plant food brand, maybe people will be selling plants (clones)in jars of water soon, maybe a container of wine/water mix. Thats the kind of names i decline registering for $1
KISS keep it simple stupid, my portfolio looks better every day

As a newbie, what is the point of me buying expensive domains if I am still in the learning process ? Lose a lot of money or use good old common sense and buy cheap until I know what I'm doing ?

That's an interesting question that has a surprisingly simple answer.
You know what they say, "Smart people learn from their mistakes. But the real sharp ones learn from the mistakes of others". There is no need to make all the same rookie mistakes that others have gone through.
So, rather than waste a lot of money on experiments until you get it right, what you should be doing is research, analyze reported sales, and learn what kinds of names do sell. Until then, do not buy any more domains. Just watch, read, do research. Do not buy anything until your are confident enough.
There is no need to reinvent the wheel. The knowledge is available (for free) but you have to process it.

Don't put the cart before the horse.
When you have done your homework, you will realize that many of the questions you've asked you could have answered yourself. And you would have built a different kind of portfolio.

There is absolutely no one on here that can say there is NOTHING of any value in my portfolio. Yes there is mostly rubbish but a few with value. And that's coming from some pro's by DM.

Many domainers are in love with their domains and are not objective. I think you are one of them.

Many newcomers think that they should buy many domains, treating them like lottery tickets, and that they just need to sell one domain to break even and make a profit. Yet the majority of domainers are losing money. If you have 200 domains then you need to sell for at least about $2000 just to recoup your investment, and it still does not pay for the renewals. Everybody can make one sale out of luck or by accident, but the real challenge is to repeat the feat over and over, and make a consistent profit.
Easier said than done, really.

Thanks Kate, great words and great advice.

It's always the .xyz threads that bring out the emotions. Love em or hate em, it is what it is. hope y'all have a good day!

Someone commented on my post only a couple of hours ago that even my new hand regged names that I did in the last day or so are worthless. I take offense to this as think that it's untrue.
ShowsNowOn .com and
PerformanceRentalCars .com
Are worth more than just reg fee's
Even if they are only worth 100 bucks each they are not worthless

Okay I will bite. I looked them up on hosterstats.com, there is no indication they have ever been registered in the past. In means that in over 20 years nobody out of 7 billion human beings would even take them for $10. Really, it tells you something. The odds that these names could become desirable at some point in the future are as remote as winning the lottery.

By the way, I have had some success with handregs too, but often it was recently dropped domains. Or the other way is predictive domaining, anticipating new trends and buzzwords.

Everybody can find available domains of similar quality, or suitable alternatives. So there isn't a compelling reason for anybody to come to you, rather than find something else that will be good enough for the planned purpose.

<<ShowsNowOn .com> I imagine that he noticed that another domain name, showsonnow.com (with the dreaded double consonant) is being offered for sale by some dreamer for 50000 Euro , and figured that some permutation of it would be good.

Yes, too many new domainers jump on a variation, such as the singular or the plural or adding or removing a letter or changing the order of the words, or a different extension, of some name that sold for a lot in the past, thinking that the variation that has been sitting unregistered all these years must be worth something too. Brandables aside (which are hit or miss anyway), It ain’t necessarily so!

but anyway, the point is that he usually argues, occasionally acknowledges, but doesn't change his ways.

I appreciate your feedback Kate but disagree on those 2 domains.
When I want to go see a show, I go on Google and type in shows on now and I assume millions of others do too. As for the other one, wealthy people go to a big city and want to hire a high end sports car for the day so a domain name like Performance Car Rental is not as bad as you might think. They will both sell. It's a case of how much and when

Let me and others see your portfolio too. I think you would be to embarrassed to do so

 

[xynames]

If you'd care to go to my website and make an offer on any domain of mine, please do so. I receive offers almost daily and sell domains almost weekly, but anyway ... this is not a competition. The point is (for the fifth or so time), that you're clearly not willing to listen or take action on suggestions made here, so why do you ask anything?

If others wish to take up time responding to this person who doesn't listen, ga'head.

Your full of it.

I'm sure everyone is bored with this thread by now, so I won't be corresponding any more. To your great relief

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

Sad bro, xynames is a pro in less than 2 years, you won't be here in 2 years like you mentioned in another sad thread about having no sales.
Kate always gives solid advice, she has helped me discard pigeon shit names and doesnt even know it.
Feels so good to drop garbage.
Kenny stated we try and keep this business clean when you were making queries about your tm name cbdtwitter.com

Your 3 word performance name is to long, I can come up with 100 variations depending on criteria.

I'm sure the .xyz extension in the future can grow because of many end users.
I am currently developing the www.cargo.xyz website

best regards

I agree and nice looking site; great to see that it is mobile friendly! Gives my inspiration to maybe develop Dine (xyz).

 

[Henry Y]

Absolutely, because the posts are over thought out and the end result is paragraphs of nonsense rather than common sense.

Think .xyz is a good extension? Good luck in your next career!

Again, it is your freedom to think all are nonsense. But only smart people can find the values of my paragraphs.

As said many times before, your opinions are pointless and nonsense without any objective evidence. People with common sense do not trust you at all.

Good luck in your life!

The only extension I can not invest money on, I hate this extension with passion, very worthless I don't even understand the meaning of this extension.

abc.xyz is google...
