As you point out though, hiring someone who can pull in a bigger salary working in their underwear isn't easy. Damir, Adam Dicker works for Godaddy. Brian Null used to work with Geosign. Ask them why they'd do it Elliot many domain oriented companies have engaged in recruiting domainers.

So far, for me, the money flow has not been steady. If you have financial obligations to meet (i.e. a family to provide for!), the security of a job can outweigh the potential profits you might receive from being self-employed.

Why be the servent to another king when you can serve yourself and be the King and build your OWN kingdom.

Eg. WE know how to analyze internet search, search behavior, internet trends, optimize keywords - PPC etc. Yes I believe domainers are sitting on a lot of useful knowledge. Eg.

To really understand, test and optimize PPC you have to live and breath it. Sounds like you need a database guy, a sales guy and a domainer all in one. But, I don't mean to tell you your job. I just wanted to say that I'm glad that you are reaching out to domainers. More domain portfolio companies should hire domain experts to manage and optimize revenue whether it be from PPC, direct advertisers, leasing or sales. Domainers can also help with usability. I've seen WAY too many companies in this business run by the tech guys building features and making the site more complex with (assumed) little or no input from the end user, the domainer. Good luck. Bill,

But I wonder how does one separate business/work and personal when you are also a domainer yourself. Would there be a big conflict of interest? Must read the hiring contract very carefully if you are hired for this position. Sounds like a fun position.
