Addicted to buying domains?

[bon300187]

Recently I have found myself always searching and reg'in new domains to work on in the future - hopefully.

Like today, I have reg'd 4 new ones and it's only just gone past dinner time (UK)

Even when I stop and think I'll work on these first before I buy any more I always end up looking for new ones.

Next year will be an expensive year for renewals lol, I only own about 17 in total at the moment.

yes it can be addicting, much better to develop the ones you have first but I do the same too!

I can clearly see the addiction within buying domain names, a bit like going down to the bookies and putting a few bets on the horses / dogs.

That's my plan now. Just need to keep off namecheap :cool:

I have around 7 undeveloped ones which I need to get up and running to help pay for this addiction :cool:

That's normal... People are addictive ;)

Try to keep it in the spare time.
I am so addicting that I do it in the working time. For example now.

If you had that addiction ten years ago you might have been able to buy the Betty Ford Clinic and add a domain addiction program. :)

Try to find restraint, and purchase domains with revenue made from your site. I knew a guy a few years back that had bought over 300 domains in a couple of weeks, all from network solutions! :eek:

I think I have like 80 or 90 domains on my portfolio and like 60 are not yet used, I only got them as found them to sound good. I get a new domain name every 2-3 days and i can't stop. I know that with a proper SEO it doesn't matter what your domain name is, but even that, yes, I'm addicted to buy new domains!

[iamays]

Yes I know exactly how you feel, it felt like I was going through withdrawals when the .asia domains became available and I didn't have any money!

Actually, it's not too late. The game is just begin. I am hogging all the keyword domain name and just park them to break even (hopefully)
I will stop when I reached 100 domains or so and see how things go before keep going :D

Wait till you own 300+, then you'll have an expensive year ;)

[amedia]

I go through phases where im regging names all the time, and then i slow down and lose interest for a period of time...and of course all the renewals come during the down time.

6.99x 100 = $699 x 3 ~ $2,100

Not too bad, I am making too much with one of my website already and I need to spend off a lot in order to continue fund for school so domain would be a great investment for future. :)

Yeah I agree. So far today I've not even looked....

....yet :cool:

I can tell you that once you have one domain you start thinking about the possibilities... and LOL I have ALOT of domains I will never use. But somehow, when I registered them, I felt like I was hitting a gold mine.

It's pretty much like an advanced for of betting. Which in essence, is a sickness!
So we are all sick bastards trying to make ourselves rich.... wait, I just defined the entire population of the US!
WOW

so far, I have registered 43 domains since the beginning of the year. I know, its pathetic.
We need to create a domain name help line...

17 domains to renew is expensive......WOW! :eek:

You must be on a very limited budget ;)

That's not that expensive. Companies that have 10,000 or over 100,000 names.....now that's some expensive renewals! Lucky I'm nowhere near that point & don't really plan on getting to that point either.

Not so much of a budget but I want to try and get these up and running so they at least pay for itself + more hopefully :)

I have various different ways to start making money inplace but the problem is they are all 50% complete or less lol. At least I can have a change if I feel it and being only 21 I guess I'm still young-ish :cool:

Need to sit down and finish them one by one to see the best return

[Getwell]

Real experiences !
Yes,most newbies are registering domain without any planned development ideas !
Are informative .Info domains good for business ?:confused:

I wouldn't go for a .info, I always try to stick to the .com or co.uk's depending on the target audience.

I've never seen a .info rank high or perform well in the search engines I don't think

You don't need planned development ideas to make money from a domain. You just need to have an idea of what names could be sold for a profit to get a ROI on the names you reg.

As for .info names, not really good for business but great for informational sites.

i'm addicted too, the worst is the frustrating renewal time as i decide to not renew many domains bought in promotions.

Yes, its addictive for sure.
But I see no different from other things people do, like buying smokes everyday, or drinking alot.(maby a bad example)
Its something you enjoy.

Except renewel fees are the only problem...
