Many domain investors lose their money because they really don’t understand what they’re investing in. Are they investing in a cashflow, a website, a business, a stock item or the promise that someone at some time will pay a lot of money for a particular domain?
Like any investment, getting good quality advice can mean the difference between losing your shirt and making a killing. If you’re new the domain investment game then I have one thing to say to you, “Be really, really careful!”
Over the years I’ve seen literally millions of dollars poured down the drain. From professional investors that think they know everything to complete amateurs that have fallen into some money and appear to be dying to get rid of it.

2. Get control of your assets! It seems obvious but I’ve spoken with a large number of domain investors that for whatever reason don’t have the keys to their own domain portfolios at a reputable registrar.
