Preface: This is a gathering of friends. We are not limited to talking about domain name investment.
Domain name investment is a highly comprehensive industry. It can be said that it involves all aspects of the world. When you really invest in it, you will find that it is not only an investment, but also brings you great fun, because It's really fun. Because to understand whether a domain name has investment value, you are forced to know a lot of things. This is also a learning process. Your vision for investing in domain names will gradually improve as you learn more; and you have mastered more in some aspects. More knowledge will also help you find better domain names in your field.
Who is suitable for domain name investment: It is suitable for almost everyone. However, I think it is more suitable for everyone here, because most of you are webmasters. What webmasters have to do every day is to conduct data analysis. You know best what users need. You know best which keywords have the largest traffic on the Internet, and you can even predict the future in order to make your website stand out. The above will help you know what a suitable domain name is, and will help guide you to discover a good domain name and get it.
Many friends say that the best time for domain name investment has passed. I think things may not be as bad as you think.
This is also true. I graduated from a junior college in finance in 1995 and knew almost nothing about network technology. The first domain name I registered in 1996 was sirclub.com. At that time, I stubbornly thought it was a good domain name, and then I registered toysee. com, chinamove.com (I thought this was China Mobile) and other domain names, and resolutely ignored those digital and pinyin industry domain names. Finally, in 2000, we achieved fruitful results: a disastrous failure (no one cared about several domain names) ). In 2000, I lost confidence in my IQ when it came to domain name investing, and I was stuck there for a while. (About 2001, I saw toysee.com dropped out, and my salary just happened to increase a bit, so I took it down as a souvenir, and it has been there until now).
From the above stories, we can know that success is not always possible. Success requires a certain environment, but it also requires one’s own level and vision.
Because there is no hope in the domain name, and life needs to change. So around 2001, I tried to make some simple web pages. Fortunately, I caught up with the rise of SP, so several friends in Wuhan and I made movie websites (not really movies, they were all beautiful women). Or funny videos), I am a joke site, I am a text message site, I am an anti-virus site, and I have earned some income from NetEase, TOM, Caixiu, 21CN, Rising, Kingsoft and Asian Dating (my Asian Dating account number is g321). The ranking of the website has also risen rapidly. What I do most every day is to look at the data in various backends, which is so cool.
In 2002, because the website did not take me a long time to update, and I had some spare money on hand, I occasionally logged into Yiyu (formerly eachnic.com, now called Domain Name City: domain.cn). I was attracted by my love for domain names. I stopped again and started playing with my favorite domain names. At this time, after working on websites for a while, I felt that my understanding of domain names had greatly improved. During this period, I gained haoge.com, cnmovie.com, and shadu. com, moshu.com and other domain names.
Before I became a webmaster, I failed to make domain names because the environment at that time made me lost in the halo of English domain names, and I did not have a certain level to distinguish what a good domain name was. After becoming a webmaster, I gained some benefits from playing with domain names, because I understood user needs at this time, so I said that people who have been webmasters are more suitable for playing with domain names, and a good domain name can also make a website better.
How to invest in domain names
This topic cannot be explained clearly in a short time. I hope everyone will remember a website address: domain.cn. Before you make an investment decision, it is best to spend some time in Domain Name City. If you want a quick fix, there is a shortcut: Go directly to the highlights of Domain Name City. Those with a high level of understanding can basically complete the course in one week.
The first effective way to invest in domain names is to make a list of domain names that you think are good. Don’t bother and bid one by one. If you come across one, you will make a lot of money;
The second effective way to invest in domain names is that you can go to 4.cn and ename.cn in China to participate in the domain name auction and get the domain name you want;
The third effective way to invest in domain names is to go to yumichong.com and kingnic.com in China or snapnames.com and overseas.
pool.com to participate in the domain name squatting auction and get the domain name you want;
The fourth effective way to invest in domain names is to go to domain.cn. When a cost-effective domain name appears, don’t hesitate to buy it immediately. This will test your vision.
How to choose your investment object - domain name? My suggestion is that either you choose domain names that are very popular and wanted by everyone, such as 123.com, or the domain name you choose has multiple end users, so that you Will not worry about selling. Do you want to know what it feels like when no one cares about your product? Hehe
What I want to focus on reminding you is how to control the risks of domain name investment.
Domain name investment, like all other investments, carries huge risks, and the ratio of success to failure is consistent with the 28 principle.
Around 2001, there were cases of people jumping off the building after failing to invest in Chinese domain names; most of the first batch of registrants in Domain Name City did not persist to this day; many domain names worth hundreds of thousands today were worth hundreds of dollars in Domain Name City at that time It was easy to sell it; someone once invested tens of thousands of digital domain names and renewed them for several years, but after a few years of heavy rain, the money was wasted; my friend once spent a lot of money to buy a .cn domain name, but he I didn’t know that this domain name was still in the 15-day review period after registration, but it was quickly withdrawn by CNNIC, and there was no place to file a complaint; some people randomly registered other people’s well-known trademarks and ended up being sued in court, becoming moral villains. (Of course this kind of squatting method can make money, but I always think it is not a good investment method)
There are two best ways to control domain name investment risks. This is a very simple truth that I spent a lot of money to understand. I will share it with you today.
First, insist on investing only in high-quality domain names. The characteristics of high-quality domain names are: 1. They have strong liquidity and can be sold at any time; 2. They increase in value faster; 3. Because you don’t have many domain names on hand, you won’t have much pressure to renew. Although it may cost a little more to buy a premium domain name, I think it is the best way to invest.
The second is to turn a very ordinary domain name into a very NEWB website. Even if it cannot be NEWB, at least it must be able to support yourself, so that you will have no pressure and travel lightly. Just like im286.com
There are even completely risk-free ways to invest in domain names
If you don’t plan to spend money to invest in domain names, and you don’t plan to tire yourself out by building a website, you can even become a domain name broker and make profits by intermediating good domain names from investors. There are already such websites, such as dalao. com.
I don’t want to waste a lot of everyone’s time, so I end up chatting.
The current Internet environment is becoming increasingly bad for small and medium-sized webmasters. I believe that no one wants to see it, especially friends who run websites in a regular manner. Every time they see a friend doing vulgar, private servers, virus plug-ins, etc. I can't help but warn them about being a fishing station, but most people can't listen to these words. In the face of huge interests, I also understand their unwillingness to stop, but these actions are for selfish gain. What is being harmed is the interests of all of us. If you come out to mess around, you will have to pay back. This sentence is so right. I think we webmasters here have better remind each other when they encounter friends who are cheating. Better. In fact, there are many legitimate ways to make money, so why take that kind of risk?
When it comes to making money online, it's actually not difficult. You can make money every day by getting a code for an online store or directly through Taobao, and concentrate on promoting and optimizing a certain product. For example, New Year’s goods, tea, boxed fruits, folding furniture, business gifts, etc. Some of my webmaster friends have become 5 crowns by making clothing, some have a monthly income of 5 digits by making frames, and some have gotten truckloads of fruit orders through the website. , this process can not only realize the benefits of online promotion, but also learn business skills without being afraid. This is the right way.
Tomorrow’s speaker, Dai Yue Geng NEWB, just graduated from college and had successful entrepreneurial experience when he was a student. His website operation and domain name investment experiences are very exciting, so stay tuned!
I very much hope that through our exchanges, the level of Hubei’s Internet can be improved, even just a little bit. Thank you to the organizers and everyone!
