… email addresses, everyone has one 🙂

As a domainer, you’re constantly exposed to all sorts of opinions.

About new gTLDs.

About the future of the Internet in general.

… you name it.

On the one hand, it’s great that the Web makes it possible to read or listen to all sorts opinions but this can also be dangerous.

I’ve noticed something interesting: forget about the title of this post, most people don’t actually *have* an opinion, they think they have one but they’re actually just mindlessly regurgitating an opinion they heard on TV or somewhere else.

Don’t be a follower, be a thinker because otherwise, you might not do very well as a domainer.

Make your own decisions, listen to all credible opinions but make up your own mind.

You shouldn’t even blindly listen to opinions when it comes to industries which have been around for hundreds of years. Ours hasn’t even been around for 20, so you get the point.

There are always experts who share their opinions through all sorts of mediums.

Listen to them but don’t blindly adopt their opinion.

Believe it or not, it’s what most people do, they basically have a “please tell me what my opinion should be” way or thinking and as a domainer, that’s a surefire way to lose money.
