Domaining – Business or Investment?
Posted on 16 February 2013 by Andrei
Well, it can be both.
On the one hand, you can treat domains like any other investment (stocks, precious metals, you name it). You derive income from your main activity or activities (business, job or something else) and invest in domains among other things.
Food and… Domains?

… yep, there are similarities. I consider myself a nutrition fanatic, so I spend more money on quality food than most people. And I notice this frequently: food isn’t all expensive but *quality* food is.

Posted on 14 February 2013 by Andrei
Yesterday, Mike from TheDomains disagreed with those who think domaining is dead. Well, I’m sorry Mike but you’re wrong.

One of the most common questions beginners have is something along the lines of:
“I have $x at my disposal, what next?”
A lot of people are tempted to invest their capital in lots and lots of registration fee domains and I’m not saying you can’t make money that way, not at all. What I’m saying is that investing your money in a handful of more valuable domain and investing your money in lots and lots of registration fee domains are two completely different things.

Lowballers
Posted on 09 February 2013 by Andrei
I know it’s tempting to either ignore lowballers or tell them to get lost but in my opinion, being polite is the best approach. It’s not all that uncommon to turn a lowball offer into a decent sale and even if it only happens every once in a while, it can still be worth it.
