Domaining Biz

As of today, I am officially a domainer.  I have made some small attempts at this in the past, but I am now making small but steady money with domains. Even though I’ve been in the business for a long time, domaining is new to me.  I am not certain what will happen when the new extensions come out, but I still believe the .com is king and am doing everything I can now to set myself up in the domain real estate business before changes happen next year. 

I’ve owned this domain for quite some time.  I got it because it it was short.  Now it seems appropriate for writing about my domain business and the buzz that surrounds it. 

I’ve started with some domains parked at Sedo.  I currently own approximately 60 domains.  I’ve just slowly gathered them over time.  I can still kick myself for not getting the .com of my city back before they even started charging for domain names.  It was available.  I am sure in the .com bubble I could have made a fortune off of it.  In todays market, it would be worth 10 times that amount.  A quick check at Google shows over 9,100,000 searches for it last month.  Wow!
