Turns out I'm a cross between 3&6.

I can name at least a few of each of the categories on here... some well know as well!

I definitely don't fit any of those...

Yes you do... you're just in denial!

Well, I guess the closest would be a cocktail of 2, 3 and 6...

I'm 4 .... but can install wordpress on a good day

I do wear Hawaii shirts tho mentioned at 5. However, the water isn't blue at Southsea beach. More of a brown / green colour :|

What about the category for someone who has been in domaining for 7 years, never approaches end users, develops poor sites, does no marketing, has to many renewal fees, hosting fees and catch fees that he as to sell domains for next to nothing to cover them, can see there is a short life left in domains and while the boat of opportunity is docked right next to him and ready to sail he just stands on the dock feeding the seagulls.

Thats the category I was looking for! - this one is definetly me
you have to name this category now

i dont understand why this one wasnt on the original list - which makes me think that my 'approach' to domains is even worse than I first thought,

I'll classify myself as another doodlebug thus far, but I'm absolutely definitely positively sure that is going to change sometime very soon indeed

Charlie and David I'm glad I'm not on my own

You know that saying, you couldn't organise a p#ss up in a brewery well I don't think we could sell domains at a domain convention

Sean you're right I don't focus and lose concentration, I admit I daydream my life away !

I said 2012 would be my year of change but it will have to be 2013, I think this year I am getting on my feet so I can be standing tall come the new year

Ps. I'm off to the shop for some
more bread for the Seagulls, hope I don't miss waving goodbye to the boat of opportunity, or I could just climb aboard and see where it takes me ?
Maybe to a place with Hawaii shirts and Emerald Green waters

Nothing wrong with dreaming

Have you ever considered the possibility that building web sites isn't what you really want to do? Perhaps buying and flipping domains is what you do best.

I do want to build sites and enjoy it but I am rubbish and my intentions of going on a course never happen.

I have some sites just need to promote them and see what comes of it but need money to do that.

I will get a plan together this year for 2013, Thanks for your words of encouragement 8)

most domainers have missed the boat

As someone who has bought, sold and developed high value domains I simply now believe that domain people have gotten into silly world.

Domains have a value but every year domainers want more for the same asset. So lots of people have bought the domains they were after and spent money on development and marketing. Google more and more are ranking brand names and it is harder and harder to get keyword rich domains to out rank brands in seo. Also in ppc its really expensive to even play in the top bar now.

Most big brands already have spent fortunes on marketing so why should they buy another brand domain?
