For those of you that do not know me I became a full time domainer about four months ago. At the age of only 31 I am retired from four years of running successful real estate investment companies. Not today, but soon I will share more details about my previous business and how it compares to domaining.
For now, I want to discuss one of my first purchases helping to prepare me for what was to come with domaining. I googled the term domain ebook and came across several options. I reviewed the sales site for each and the cost, of course looking for the best deal. After reviewing everything I decided to purchase the Domaining Manifesto by John Motson. At the time I had no clue who John was nor his experience in the domaining industry. The information provided on his sales site seemed to be a fit for what I was looking for.
Let me fast forward to last week. I was visiting the industry blogs to see what everyone else was putting out. I visited DNXpert as I do periodically and read something that showed an ebook. I read a little more and it showed the Domaining Manifesto by John Motson. After seeing this I emailed the owner of DNXpert and found that he is John Motson. Long story short we have emailed each other several times since. He has even featured an article of mine on his blog.
For me, the most useful thing about the ebook was the many different explanations about everything domain related. Trying to learn a new businesses jargon is a project on its own, like learning a new language. It has given me the inside scoop on what goes on in the domain industry. I learned a lot about expired domains, tasting, registering, values, short domains, trademarks and many of other things. In fact if I remember correctly this is how I found a few of the domainer forums. Yes it is, looking at the ebook now and it shows how to buy and sell domain names on the forums. It also has tips about trader ratings and how to keep the transaction as safe as possible.
That brings me to today. I wanted to share with everyone what I first read when starting in this business. There is just too much information for me to list about this 86 page ebook. It really has everything from A to Z about domaining. It includes dozens and dozens of links to useful tools. I strongly suggest you click here to view more details. For ONLY $27 and it has a money back guarantee I could not have asked for more. My opinion, BUY IT. Since purchasing this particular ebook I have not had to buy any others.
