11 reasons to quit domaining

If you have to write a list about what you don't like about domaining. You must not be successful, since the positives outweigh the negatives tremendously.

I have had some success in the last 2 years, overall have been disappointed with the results I have gotten. Even in domaining it takes some luck to be successful, unless you start out with tons of money.
 
Careful with your focus. What you focus on, you will get.
 
That's our own fault. All those chicks get scared away by domainers that keep telling them shorter is better.

lol. Somebody has to believe it someday :lol:
 
I would be measuring your success in domaining from prior 5 years. Domaining is another form of investment. If you treat it like a casino, you will get similar results that you get in a casino.
 
Thanks!
But wait, I am a girl.... does that offer any clout for re-entry back into the domaining world that I'm not sure I have actually entered yet?

I have only spent 2 years in the domain business.

If you are a girl you can entry in my home also :D
 
Just take a look what you did last week or last month.
If you spend the time to do research and posting craps most of the time instead of trying to find a way to improve your products or services then you should quit.

Find another job on CNN or the local radio or TV stations where you can spend the time to talk about something else and still get a paycheck.

Then, in my opinion you can't judge an industry you haven't been in long enough to even see a typical cycle. I bet you wouldn't be saying the same things in 2012.

i nearly sprayed my coffee this.

Damn...funny!

Welcome to DNF! :)
Congrats for quit domaining so soon lol
This is one of the funniest threads I have read on here in a long time.
 
I'm inside this domaining world from 2 years too.
I feel like is a new start everyday.
I feel like a newbie started yesterday, everyday I learn something (and meet great people teach me...some suckers too :D).

I'm happy for the results I had in these 2 years...but I look at tomorrow, not at yesterday.
I feel lucky to do a work that like me and I feel lucky to work and stay all day with my family (it's not easy work at home but if you have discipline you can do right).

I've started without money and I'm happy too I can make a decent living with domains only.

I don't see a real reason to quitting domaining.

I don't want be blashpemy guys but...my dad worked 50 years to rise his only child...he worked 15 hours a day for give me the food in the table everyday and his stressing life burn him every minute...so I don't want repeat myself but If I can make xx,xxx with a "stupid" domain I feel happy and lucky.

I'm real about life...I can make money in front of a pc when some peoples struggle to do a work they don't love.

We are lucky to do this work.

I hope 10 years from now I can feel myself a newbie too.
Hungry = success.

Carter I can relate to your dad!

I am fortunate to work from home. I work 100 hours a week easy and I am sick of it. I am a single mom raising 4 children on my own, no support. I am not scared of hard work, just trying to find ways to make more, smarter. (the reason I joined this site and bought a few names)

From what I have read on here you can make money with determination and knowledge no matter what the initial investment. I made a small investment, now to learn what to do next.....
 
23. C&D's becomming thicker and thicker
 
At least members are getting better at bumping, when I was a mod they would simply type "BUMP" without even dropping the price. :)


let em leave...quit, give-up, or go try something else

then we won't have to see their same domains getting bumped every day at the top of the que

with the forever drops in prices $180 > $170 > $160> $125 > $90 > $45 > $25 > $10 > sale closes in 48 hrs > last chance > etc.

You need to work work work.
Probably with domains you work more than 100 hours a week...but you work from home and you are your own boss.
 
Ohh another reason to quit domaining: no more smoking 3 cigarettes at 6 in the morning waiting to change dns on GoDaddy lol

Trying to figure out if your post is more ridiculously exaggerated or humorously misleading. I don't have as much negative posts than others on the forum at least.
