Your first sale...

[Enerika]

Still waiting for it. I am studying, asking questions ... trying different things. I need a domain name for my "brain", at this point...Oh, That would be: " KariDosNoDough .calm(?) .... or: " NoIn .com "
So I am just wondering what it was like for everyone else during this time... before, and of the " BIG ONE"
Did your first sale come as a big surprise? Or, did you just KNOW you were doing all the: "right" things (including suffering?), so...ANY MINUTE.!

My first sale was before I started domaining. I was a gambling webmaster with a single site and bought a few additional names I wanted to develop down the road. Then one of my partners I was doing affiliate marketing for saw them and offered me 700$ a piece for them. I jumped at the offer and it opened up my eyes for the possibilities in domaining.

I then started buying expired names with traffic and reselling them for 2-5x profit to webmasters on Digitalpoint. Once I got my first end user sale I abondonded the reseller model (competition was heating up at that time anyways) and went exclusively towards end users.

THANK YOU, Castion...your sharing this experience with me is invaluable. That is exactly where my head is at , right now...I need to watch and learn in the meantime. I am more determined and happy to have learned something this EARLY in the game for me. and I don't want to be stupid
What to do with the rest of the names I was going to put up...and all of that AFTERNIC rig-a-ma-roll!
It feesl like a weight has been taken off my shoulders, actually.
