A newer domain investor named Yogi Solanki took offense to a response I made to his tweet. He said his record number of sales in a day was 6 and asked what everyone’s best day of number of sales. Nothing special about the question. He was probably excited he had a large number of sales. I responded with a tweet that essentially said that the number of sales isn’t how you measure success. It’s measured in profit. He took it as an attack. A few acted like I was attacking Indian domain investors. Anyone who has followed me for a decade know that I have been a big supporter of new domain investors. Especially from countries that don’t have the opportunity to make the kind of income we do here in the US. I’ve talked about how when I started my only goal was to make enough to pay for my Internet and when I did I was so excited. I was in a different place financially than I am now a decade ago. I am because I learned to start trying to hit profit goals not a sale goals. The only time any salesman has a sales number goal is when the profit on the sale is consistent.
So Yogi tries to make me look like the bad guy. There were no bad guys when it started. He is hustling and I was merely reminding people that you don’t “win” in domaining through having more names than the next person or having the most quantity of sales. Sales are good. But one great sale may be more profit than 300 turn and burns. And which is easier to magnate and takes less time. Again, nothing wrong with flipping. Its one of dozens of way to make money. It’s also great if you only make $30 a month in profit. $30 is a big deal to people. But lets be real business people here. If we are some startup we might not worry about profits. We count users and signups. We sell assets. Your baseline to measure success can’t be quantity of sales. It has to be profit dollars. And this is all I was saying.
Here’s the Rub and what made me pay attention to Yogi in the first place. He’s pushing an eBook that he is selling. A lot of people make money be professional marketers. Selling e-books. In the old days they said someone who “wrote the book” was a guru. Today anyone can. If I had to make a judgement ahead of meeting someone who is an ebook marketer I would say that they never tend to be real experts. They play the role and often fake it until they make it. I know nothing about Yogi Solanki but I’ve seen a lot of Yogi Solanki types over the years come and go. They have some success and then move on to the next better thing. I have been at it for several hours a day for 11 years and I don’t feel qualified to write an eBook. I hope Yogi finds great success in this business. There is so much opportunity here. I just wish he wouldn’t criticize me for trying to guide him on what I think will help him make more money.
