I'm Almost ASHAMED To Admit I Have This Problem...

But, maybe you have it too.

It's all consuming. Like an addiction.

An affliction.

No way to stop it...

Hands trembling now -- because - I - must - buy - one - more

DOMAIN NAME!



Anyone else suffering?

Anyone else need intervention?

Anyone else's mind run wild with FANTASTIC URLs that you feel you "Must snap up before someone else does?"

Come on...

Admit it -- let's hear it!

"Who Else Is Ready For A 12-Step Program That Will FREE You At Last From Your Domain Name Registration Addiction?"


Come one... come all... my long lost bruthas and sistas!

On a serious note this behaviour falls into the opportunistic mindset that plagues the Internet, unless you're approaching it from a business-building angle - ie dominating a market, protecting trade names etc.

My suggestion - avoid wordtracker and large doses of coffee in the early hours of the morning. Seriously, pictures-of-sedu-hairstyles.com? What was I thinking?

I think I own close to thirty domains right now. None of them with the intention of cybersquatting. I fully intended to do something different with each one. I only actively use four of them.

Yes, it's a disease.

Yeah I own about 80 domains right now. And I deleted like another 20-25 the other week.

poor me, the opportunistical devil.

Here's what I have done in the past whenever I got too many domain names...

I either sell them outright on eBay, I throw up a quick little minsite using a cheap little template and sell them as a business starter kit on eBay, or I give them away as nice little gifts to friends and colleages...

For goodness sakes, don't "throw" them away!

If you can at the (very least), double, triple, or quadruple what you paid for them, then it might be worth your efforts.

I once sold a domain name on eBay for over $400.00 by simply getting a few freebie ebooks and creating a website to sell them as an online business. It only took me 8 hours to do this.

You can do this too... just use your imagination.

Thanks for the ideas, haven't thought about that, business starter kit is kind of clever.

THanks
