Hi Michael,

Welcome to the forum

When you acquire domain names, what is your intended purpose for them – eg developing, selling to domainers, selling to end users, etc?

Which part of the market do you want to be in? eg brandables, exact match names, short names, which industry / niche? When I got started I found it beneficial to stick with what I knew, so for me it was exact match dot com names in the marine niche, ships, boats, etc and the two highest sales I have achieved (both $xx,xxx) have been in that niche.

What sort of research do you do before acquiring / registering a name? What is your target market for the name? How many potential buyers have you indentified before you get the name? What sort of businesses or organisations will pay you real money for a name? What benefit will that name bring to them (ie provide more in benefit to them than you take from them in cash value)?

Just a few thoughts to possibly help you move forward....

Good luck

David
