Domainer or Developer ?

Bailey · 06-07-2011, 10:18:04 PM

It's been an interesting year or two here on Acorn for me. However, over my domaining years - I've become familiar with separate Boards/forums for development and pure domaining. Without going into all the pros and cons. I'd like to get a perspective on the active Acorn membership camps.

Do you see yourself as primarily a "website developer" or "domainer" ?

I've purposefully made the choice only Black or White - And hope each can identify With where they are operating in domains, So thats not necessarily where you would want to be.

I would say I have been mainly a domainer but I hope to develop a nice portfolio soon.

Developer and see domains as enabling

Pretty much the same as Rob - especially as my portfolio is fairly average in quality compared to some.

Developer, I guess... I do sell more developed domains than... just domains

tifosi · 07-07-2011, 09:41:39 AM

"Internet Marketer" ? Though professionally i just go by IT Consultant.

Both "domainer" I have a collection of nice domains, "developer" some i develop, many on behalf of clients.

Just to be difficult

Domainer.. I guess. My primary interest.

developer - sold around 5-10 domains so far 1 good flip - bought far too many

I guess strictly speaking there are very few pure domainers. I'd guess 99% of domainers have fingers in development, even STJ.

I would say I'm a developer and domaining affords me better development.

Doesn't help that I don't like selling :P
