Plan for Domain Profit - What’s your Plan B?

One of the things that’s exciting to me about domain names is there are so many ways to profit. There are also some ways to lose money. I don’t want you to be like the guy yesterday who auctioned off his portfolio of 383 names for $40.99. That’s about 10 cents a name on his investment that was originally about $3,800 (depending upon the registrar he was using).

So what do I mean Read more

In case you want to discount that as a one in a million shot the T.R.A.F.F.I.C silent domain auction that just closed sold roughly 270 domains for about $475,000.00. Although these figures were a little lower than October’s auction it still points to a strong and growing market.
