If you are new to domains and looking to buy, sell and learn about domains then you have come to the right place. DNForum is the largest domain name community on the internet and continues to grow every day. There are over 105,000 domainers on DNForum doing everything from buying domains, selling domains, learning about domains and discussing domains. Take a minute and Register.
Register Today on DNForum IT'S FREE!I have to agree about LB's intention. The 'Losers!!!' was aimed at those who register a name hoping to become millionaires, not at everyone on the forum. On the other hand, why shouldn't someone hope for such an outcome when registering a name? It does no one else any harm, and there is an outside chance that the name might mean so much to someone else that he (or she) is prepared to pay a million for it.
But I think that all that most people are hoping for is a healthy profit. This is not gambling, but business. If you buy apples for so many cents each, hoping to sell them for double or treble that amount, no one calls that gambling, even though you have no proof that there are enough apple-eaters out there to take the apples from you and ensure you the profit. Even if there have been lots of apple-eaters yesterday, everyone might want oranges today. Does that mean you shouldn't speculate in apples? And domain names last a fair bit longer than apples and may even get more desirable once all the oranges are gone.
True it involes some sort of risk but if you know what you are doing you cant really lose money same as poker if you play your cards right you will never lose in the long term.
I have only played with safe cards and when i got that AA i went all in, worked for me, maybe someone likes the AK suited more. We are all different, some develop alot of names, some develop 1 very good one, some only buy and sell, some just develop... the list can be very long
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

Think about this when you develop next time
True he did'nt ment everyone, my wrong, but if you never try anything you will never know if you are good at it.
And you will never be good at it in the first few days takes time aswell

Well, would be a nice analogy if they were actually comparable. Apple suppliers have distribution deals in place - usually well in advance of growing and picking their apples. There are middle men, i.e. supermarkets - who handle the issue of whether people want to eat apples or not. While their profit margin can rise and fall dependent on weather, inflation, etc., they have years of data, as well as the certainity that no matter what changes in the world or technology, there will always be some apple eaters. Domaining does fall pretty far from that tree, wouldn't you say?.
I think the "Losers" on this forum are the ones who don't want to learn, who get discouraged and quit, then spend their time discussing everything under the sun BUT domaining, while sitting on their portfolio of worthless domains waiting for something big to happen... They are the real losers.
Losers are the people not in this business![]()
I'm buying credit, banking, loan, insurance related generics in .com, .net, .org with high search volumes/traffic. Will consider typos too! - PLEASE PM with name, info, & asking price!
It's true that the preponderance of participants in businesses that are attractive to "main chancers" are losers. I also believe that the speculative buying and selling of domain names is a negative sum game over all. However, since 1998, I've registered a myriad of generic names and I sell them over time. The number of domains that I've purposely let drop, because my experience tells me that they are not worth holding, is extremely small. For me, it's both a vocation and an avocation.
Different people bring different talents and interests to this market. Mine are based in language - the English language. That means that I'm likely to "miss out" on early technological registrations, but likely to guess right about the popular adoption of linguistic conventions. Others like to code or build websites and use domains as a vehicle for those skills - which may be substantial. They, and others with design skills, may make a living and think that they're great domainers, when really the main source of their success lies elsewhere. Business skills, of course, lie behind the greatest financial successes. But great financial success isn't the only objective for most people. Those market participants, while not making lots of money, may also be winners for many other reasons that define them as human.
Totally agree! Anyone who thinks they can make lots of money from the internet with minimal effort is delusional "except for a few geniuses out there who are far and few between".
You have to work HARD at it every day and every hour your awake! Don't rest too much - not until you begin to reap the results of your input. Take a break between projects by all means but if you find that you can't - your probably a winner:$:
You missed the point here, your examples are mere eyeball-catching, neither sweeping nor provocative to an entire class of people
How about having "Lawyers are losers" on the front cover? Could you imagine the wave of protests and repercussions from the legal community, arising from this silly title alone?
I also believe most domainers are not earning any serious money, that doesn't mean they are losers. There are many who treat that just as a hobby, nothing wrong with that.
The losers are those who get carried away with the hype, but don't do their homework and don't learn from their mistakes. Those who follow like sheep but fail to understand the underlying fundamentals of domaining. Those who believe domaining is a get rich quick scheme.
