Future mistake maker here

[Krumble]

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to introduce myself. I am a former IT consultantturned high school teacher that decided to dip a toe into the domaining world. I take full responsibility for my noobish questions and lack of knowledge. I do hope that through the forums and through lessons learned from mistakes that I can eventually become semi well versed in the world of domaining.

I have the ability to develop sites but at this time I am not sure if that is where I will focus a lot of my time. If I can convince my writing gifted wife to be a hard working/no paid content creator I may get into development. I have scooped up some domains in the pastweek but as most of you have done I am sure they will be in my"mistakes" portfolio for most of my career.

I look forward to learning a lot from everyone and hope I can contribute in a productive way in the near future.


Regards,

Krumble

Hey Krumble,

Welcome to DNF.

I've got a secret but please don't tell a soul ok. The money for site development is in mobile marketing.

Ok now thats out ... pick a niche, grab some domain names and work your wonders.

Have a great weekend my friend.

We all started the same way, Krumble. I still cringe when I think about some of the first domains I registered.
