During the 2000 – 2002 period, one Euro was worth less than a Dollar and that made sense. After all, the Dollar is the world’s reserve currency and it has been around for a considerably longer period than the Euro. But something happened and during certain periods of 2008, the Euro ended up costing almost 1.6 Dollars.

$0.99 GoDaddy Coupon – US and Canada Only
Posted on 10 March 2013 by Andrei
This coupon works for up to three dot com registrations or transfers. Unfortunately, since it only works for customers from the US/Canada, I wasn’t able to test it myself. If you’re from the US or from Canada, test it as soon as possible, I can’t guarantee it’ll still work tomorrow.

It’s always easy to criticize and the domaining industry makes no exception. Registrars suck, sales venues suck, everything sucks.

… you get the point 🙂
I’m often surprised that even people who should know better (yes, even domainers or entrepreneurs) don’t follow this fundamental rule. Always question everything, don’t blindly believe information.
Clear Your Mind

If you’re a domainer, seeing the big picture is important to say the least. Every now and then, you have to leave your day to day activities aside and focus on putting together long-term strategies.

Some People Are Unreasonable
Posted on 02 March 2013 by Andrei
If you’re a domainer or an entrepreneur, you inevitably end up dealing with people who might not like the way you do business.
Maybe you’re a domainer and the person you’re dealing with doesn’t “like” the price you quoted.
Maybe you’re an entrepreneur and one of your customers doesn’t like something about your product/service.

We *Don’t* Know Everything

Most people hate being exposed to new/different ideas and prefer to simply listen to those which confirm their own opinions. If you earn a living online, that’s a huge mistake in my opinion. I’m not saying you should adopt every new idea someone throws at you, I’m simply saying you should at least listen.
