Nice article, Andrew. (as usual, you — you —dagblasted… ahhh, forget it).

Okay, I’ll put my 2 cents in (and you’re all thinking how far my 2 cents can go).

-Best domain pricing registrar with best customer service: Fabulous.com

-Best domain pricing with follow-up domain sales service: Moniker > Snapnames

-J.R. Jackson — contact me for helping build out your domains! (gimme this one, Andrew)

-#3 “Message boards” – I’ll post an article about this on my blog. I give waaaaay too much free info to Andrew. He’s like a witch… he lures us all in to reveal our secrets! I want that preacher that Sarah Palin used to get witches off her. It worked! Look at what it did for her career!

Find a niche, own all the best domains representing that niche. Build them out.

-DEFINITELY attend at least one domain conference a year, especially if you want to call yourself a “domainer” and intend to make domaining your main source of income.

-#10 – heck, Andrew, everyone reads this site anyways, like I told you two years ago would happen. I’d add in #12, “read http://www.successclick.com for the dirty stuff.” I’m shameless, aren’t I?

For those of you with 401k’s, vote Obama. (Seth will love my endorsement) lol

Here’s to HOPE.

Great info and a great list….thank you!

I believe in focusing in niches names but sometimes get sidetracked when a good domain from another genre is available and I pick it up…which categories/genres would you suggest focusing on?

thanks

A three letter .com URL? Rubbish, Jude. Who would possibly want a short, easy to spell, easy to remember URL that fits easily on a license plate? :-}

I am a newbie about to register my first domain.
I wish to request your mentorship pls.
What do you think about 3 word domain names?Is there any value in them?
Thanks for the good work.

I am directing some of my friends to your post. Good and straight forward. I for one do not hang out at forums more than usually an hour a week.
