Can a Little Guy Battle the Gurus in the Game of Domaining?
By Jim | February 4, 2008
You may think that thousands of people are flocking online daily to seek out their rightful place among domaining giants who have created a virtual empire of passive profits.
But while they may be looking into it, many prospective domainers are too intimidated to actually do anything to stake their claim. The primary reason? They don’t know how to go after that domain name with a unique slant or have the large monetary resources to buy a “super premium” domain name like porn.net that sold recently at a Snapnames for $400,000.
Many newbie domainers believe that if one person is already successfully selling domain names, then there’s no room at the top, so they drop their dreams and return to the shackles of a 9-5 daily grind in corporate America (or elsewhere in the world).
Is it possible for an unknown to break out onto the scene and become a hit based on what they know that’s better or different from what Big Guy Guru has to say? Of course it is.
But in order to do this, the domainer has to come onto the marketplace with insurmountable confidence so that his or her target aspirations will become successful.
A guru isn’t someone who knows better how to do something. A guru, in the domaining world, is someone who did it in an original fashion and/or someone who has been earning a living steadily online for a long amount of time and therefore knows his or her “stuff.”
A little guy may be new to the world of domain names, but that doesn’t mean he or she hasn’t worked online for months or years to learn the ropes. If you were able to come online and learn domaining well enough that it allowed you to succeed in a short amount of time, then that makes you a guru in your own right.
Many people are, in fact, turned off by the word “guru” and get bored of reading about someone’s expertise. Fresh is a good thing in the world of domain names, so before you throw in the towel and call it quits, make sure you at least give your dreams a shot at success - the world of domain names isn’t really that hard. Find your niche and stick to your guns, there is still earnings to be made!
Remember that enthusiasm boils over - so if you believe in your skills and domain marketing, then it doesn’t matter what niche you’re targeting for your efforts – your custoemrs will soak up your attitude and carry the torch for you into the realm of profits and guru status yourself!
