Hi Anderson.
Wow! Congratz! Way to regg! I don't know much about the value of .me, but with words like listings, skydiving, (and I see you got m2m to go with your m2mt) you should be able to sell them easily. Are you planning to register the other ones you listed? If not, it would be a shame to let them go to waste. lol. If you are not going to regg them, please let me know because there are a few there I kinda like.

You finding those is "Word!" (I remember now that several years ago it was popular to say "word"). And really... could there be a better term to use in this business?? lol. I like it... don't be surprised to see it cropping up in my messages.

Have a good night Anderson.

Hi RJ. Hey I hand regged a few decent .me domains and some are still available. Looks like someone forgot to renew his .me domains. ooops!

These are still available as of the time I'm sending this:

exercising.me
jogging.me
reporting.me
bands.me
packs.me
garages.me
plo.me
tor.me
deo.me

I picked up listings.me, skydiving.me, m2m.me and vids.me. Check for words with "ing" suffix and plural nouns.

Have a nice day

Your wealth of experience in paper publishing will no doubt serve you well with online publications. You'll definitely realize your goals.

Resale has been a really tough road for a new timer like myself. I have about 68 domains, about a third of which are speculative investments for emerging markets. Although I have some decent domains I'm finding it hard to sell them. I think it has more to do with me having difficulty reaching end users than anything else. My current strategy is using twitter to reach a wider base of folks who might be interested in the domains. I think I'll have to try Facebook. With 500 million users, Facebook seems like the best online marketing platform for sellers.

Hope you had a great day. ciao

Well I started buying domains late in 2008. I was one of those who got excited by the idea of owning a dot com lol. Later on I learned about the relevance of good domains especially when it pertains to running an online business. Before I knew it I was learning as much as I could. In retrospect, I bought a lot of terrible domains and a few decent wants though I wouldn't call them gems

After a while I decided to focus full time on domaining early this year. It has been a tough road since I joined the industry a lot later than most but I don't mind.

If it isn't invasive to ask, what type of domaining business do you have in mind? A domain marketplace, webpage development for your domains, blogging or would you be focusing on resell?

The forum is definitely a great resource. I've learned a ton on the domain name industry since I joined a few months ago. I do enjoy being a part of it.

When did you start buying domains? What triggered your interest?
