I actually had a Rick Schwartz moment yesterday when looking over my parking stats yesterday. I hand registered a name. Something I hardly every do unless its a plant name. It was making a few dollars a day which I was very happy with but a few weeks ago it started picking up. Its now up to $50 A DAY. I’m not going to say what it is because I can’t share all my ideas but I will say this. Rick is right, every once in a while you can hand reg a name that does well. My $1.99 domain could return $500 or more this month. Not a bad return. Then again, lately everything I’ve touched has done well. Some luck, some patience, a whole lotta trial and error.
ReplacementBlades.com This is one of my favorite names in quite a while. From razors to ceiling fans. So many uses here
KidsCostumes.net The keywords overcome the tld. Halloween will be a lot more fun for the new owner of this one
PoolServices.com This could hit $10K. My pool service has been terrible this year. But then again, I don’t have a pool.

Don’t forget to use the coupon below. Not because I make money from it but because it will actually save you money. I’ve used it a couple times myself when I couldn’t find codes.
Go Daddy Deal of the Week:Get 20% off your order! Offer expires 7/17/12.
I had that happen once, except it was $800 to $1200 a day.
I believe someone did some arbitrage and used the wrong domain and I was the beneficiary.
It totaled almost $14K before it ended. That was about three years ago.
You think You’d be making $50/day if you were still at some other Parking company other than Frank’s? He should open up another Parking Corp for everyone else!! The small % that do well on that platform can transfer over to the Big Leagues…
That’s awesome. I have yet to have that happen. Lucky you.
You’re also fortunate to skilled enough at domaining and aquiring names to be an Internet Traffic customer. I’m sure the kick ass domaining blog and connections doesn’t hurt when applying for IT either. ; ) Just saying, beauty of the biz.
Wish FS would open something up for people with less premium portfolios, but a similar model. Of course keep standards and all, but loosen them up a bit and offer a median level platform if IT is doing so well. The exclusivity of IT is nice and should be kept that way, however, if you found something that REALLY works and is helping people- help ALL- not just the ones who can “afford” it. Then again, we all start somewhere.
I’ll be an IT client by next year, having been turned down rudely once already, I’m hitting the drops HARD and coming back full swing soon.
Best,
Michael
Wow JOHN,

Great minds DO think alike. That was awesome.
