I've just noticed that you are a self employed domainer.
Out of interest, did you go full time domaining because of not having a job, or did you leave full time employment.
Either way, it beats any job that i'm capable of doing. Any simple advice, ie park loads of domains or develop a few.
How's the weight today btw?
The weights ok thanks - well it aint (getting there), I want to lose a stone in June and I will,
although all I need is £100 in the bank by 2pm and people are making me sweat for it so come 2pm I may have lost weight due to no bugger still not finding enough interest to swap one hundred sovs for a couple of domains, which is a shame really. I got money coming in but from different banks, not Barclays or by CHAPS.
I'm a self employed affiliate marketing, publishing domainer and I've been doing this (a variety of stuff) eight years, I think. Online nearly ten years, yes seven or eight years self working - not sure, it's been a bit up and down, more down but good when up, it;s got me abroad. How did I end up working for myself, well wages were rubbish and still are in the uk and I wasn't getting up in the morning for that, I got inheritance and bought a computer and spent the next three months peeing the rest up the wall.
I struggle but I survive but I'll survive a lot better if I can figure out to sell these domains to people in a no bull stand up type of way rather than the closet hanging around that goes on which deters an open and trustworthy market place.
As for advice, don't have too many eggs in one basket, have several baskets and make sure you have enough coming in to survive each month and save a bit, something I am regretting right this minute. If I can get Sky to pull their fist out of their ***e, I'll be laughing but until then I am trying to get domainers on here to give me £100 before 2pm today and £1000 next week.
Anybody out there, £100, I have several hundred domains, where are you?

PS: Yes parking is history unless you have good domains, it's why sedo are crapping it and buying domains themselves, directly competing with their customers, developing is the way forward if done properly. But each to their own, take a bit of everything and make something unique to you.
