When you don’t have to pay your bills with money you made from domain investing you have a distinct advantage over full time pros. But they get it right back by spending the entire day dedicated to their craft. They are able to spend the time to hunt down names. Make sure that all their domains are listed properly on platforms. And participate live at the auctions. Night workers like me are half assing that part. But we are also using the best years of our working lives to build a career or another business. We have the security of always having money to pay the bills and fall back in case domain investing doesn’t work out. And you can be like me and make incredible money in both domain investing and another job. With all financial pressure taken off. It allows me to let the domains roll. It gives me patience. When I first started in this industry I was forced to sell domains to buy more. To buy better names. Now I have enough names and websites that I can buy $50 to $100K worth of additional names with the monthly income and proceeds from sales. But remember it took 9 years to get there. 9 years of 2 to 3 hours a day, every single year. So while it seems like a lot of money now. It was many years of small gains leading to big gains. My other job allowed that. Pressure to produce from my own wants but not from the holder of my mortgage.
As long as I avoid the stupid buys like .ws, my portfolio now becomes more and more valuable every year. All you part timers can do the same thing. It just takes a while. Years. But you can make a little money and have a good time doing it while you build. How? Simple. Don’t ask anyone to tell you. Don’t be lazy. Read. The manual has already been written in the blogs each day. In the sales results. Read Travis’ recap each day and see what names sell. Go to Namebio and see what sold each day. Get a feel of what a good name looks and feels like and buy them. Most good names will sell on Namejet. You won’t get anywhere near what you would sell to an enduser but they should sell. If you are REALLY good you can learn the skills of Josh that writes here. He is able to find low priced names that don’t sell on Namejet yet sell on a consistent basis. And at a percentage that pays for all the other purchases with money left over to expand the portfolio. He has a real gift that is hard to teach. It’s also the most dangerous strategy because the skill level required to differentiate the junk from the names that will sell, is high. Get it wrong and you’ll spend thousands on bad names that will crush your pocketbook. Another reason to keep your dayjob. Here are today’s names Click for Current Price

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. I Charge $10 per name per day. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.*All names chosen by me, Shane . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything I say is based on my own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or my opinion is correct. I hand choose my names but I am paid to make this list by the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good
Great insight, Shane! Thanks for sharing. If you don’t mind me asking, why was .ws a bad investment?
