Hi.

I have just began doing domain business and I wonder many hours a day do you altt spend on the domain business?

Whenever I am awake. Either actively scanning for domains etc.. or passively by reading news, articles, blogs, and paying attention to what's coming up.

Seriously guys? I am going to school, working out and hanging out with my friends. In addition, I need my 7 1/2 hour sleep.

Doesn't mean you have to stop domaining during school or while hanging out. Heck, you're going to school, you're getting tons of new information every day and any of which could be the next six-figure .com sale.

Same when working out and/or hanging out with your friends. Look around, pay attention to them and others in the area.

Domaining isn't about just sitting in front of a PC and punching keywords into a registrar or running domain scans.

I spend 8-14 hours a day on domaining, if I'm not out fixing client's computers. I have almost shut down my former computer support business now, in favor of domaining and I love it.

When I go to bed, I use my iPhone/HTC to check my e-mail and also browse for domains to purchase. I also wake up a lot in the middle of the night to catch a last-minute auction, or to reply to a PM/e-mail.

Yes. . My girlfriend gets a bit tired of it sometimes.. But I consider it my job now and she supports me all the way.

spend around 5 hours a day. I'm generally online working on my application through the day so i keep checking the forums / auctions from time to time.

Very similar to me, but I plan on keeping my "bread & butter" business going. This is more of a sideline to me, but it's easy to keep a second monitor available to check names / watch forums / etc while working on a website, writing a script, removing a virus from someones computer remotely, configuring a server remotely, etc. I'm actually getting a T1 put in my house this week for redundancy for my servers at the office
