 | Entrepreneur Magazine: Imminent Domaining
Via Entrepreneur Magazine:
The barrier to entry for domainers is nil to zero–great if you’re low on funds but bad because the competition is stiff. In a market where Fund.com sold for $9,999,950, iReport.com for $750,000 and even 248.com for $175,000, you can see why so many people are viewing this as the latest gold rus...

| The shameful WIPO case of Aspis.com
I just came across this WIPO case with regards to the domain name Aspis.com
It would have been a typical case, if it weren’t for the fact that I actually visited the web site back in 1998 when it was registered; its purpose has always been to gripe against the (then) CEO of Aspis Pronoia, an

| My Domaining Strategy + A little Test
How do I make money domaining?
Well by most part it comes to:
know the market well
buy low
sell high
Domaining is a strange market. There are the end user prices and the market/reseller prices for any domain - both can vary a lot and there is a lot of money to be made on these differences.
