Hi all
My name's David and I've been domaining for about 5 years, the first 3 part-time while I worked a job and the last couple full time from home. During this time I've bought and sold over 10,000 domains. At one stage I had a portfolio of around 4,000 names but have trimmed back significantly since.
During the past year or so I've also begun to focus on development. This is how I got into the .au domain space. Once I finish off current projects and upload the sites I'll have around 150 websites online (mainly mini-sites). They are a mixture between US & AU focused sites. I think 150 is more than enough for now so will begin to focus more on SEO and backlink building rather than the creation of new sites.
At the moment I'm really focused on end user selling of my domains though as this is keeping me working 80+ hour weeks and bringing in very good money - currently averaging about $25,000 US per month in sales and rising
I focus mainly on volume rather than really large sales. The largest sale I've made this month was for $5,000 US but most are in the $300 - $1,000 range.
I have made good money in the past by selling wholesale (LLLL.com, LLLL.net, etc). However these days I'm focused on keyword rich domains that have great end user prospects as this is where the real money is and is far less speculative and reliant on a good economy.
Am 25 yo and have been married for just over 5 years. My wife and I had our first baby just over 4 months ago, a beautiful baby girl named Charlotte. We live in a small town called Fernvale about half an hour's drive west of Ipswich, Qld.
I've had a bit of a look around the forum and am looking forward to getting to know you all as time goes by.
Best regards
David
