Legitimate sales strategy?

Hand registrations died about 8 years ago.

You can still make money from drop catching, however you can end up in the "hand registration" area of the drops and make nothing. Really depends on how much you want to make, I use it to supplement a full time salary, takes up about an hour of my time a week and gives me an extra bit of bunce every week.

Hand reg can never die. There will always be new business ideas, concepts, models evolving year on year. I'd agree it's not a method to pin ones hat on though and I understand what you mean.

Bottom line is full time domain entrepreneurs are in a different realm, daresay a higher dimension, to part timers. I've taken some weeks off over the summer and been at it everyday and the difference has been eye opening.
 
Handreg is still possible but often I find you may only get 1 or a few offers in the domains lifetime, you need to sell quickly or I've found you end up renewing a dud for years.
 
I have actually got my biggest sales by hand reg like you, with a few domain purchases along the way.

I work for a design agency so if you need any help with website design / Seo just drop me a pm
