Getting serious about domaining is crucial for success. Setting goals and actually writing them down has been a huge help. Keep up the good work.

Hi Brian,
Great post. You’ve made some great points about selling off vs. letting your domains drop. I was going to let a bunch of my domains drop but now I’m rethinking it!

Just as you commented on Domain Name Portfolio’s comment, I too recently sold one my domain names for a decent price and it was one of the first domains I bought when I first started! That will cover domain registration for quite a few domains which helps a lot!

I look forward to reading more from you…

Thanks for reading, lately I have even sold a few names that I bought when I fist started that would have been hard to give away for $20.

Great post, you make some really good points and I agree – planning ahead and being more careful / calculated with ones domains is a must.

Also, the point about selling off domains to cover cost of renewals on better names – that’s something I think many domainers forget to do. It’s evident from the number of drops and the qualities amongst them – some of the drops get bid up to thousands of dollars at places like Snap / NameJet. It goes to show, if the previous owner tried then he could have got a decent sale rather than let it drop.
