If you missed the .COM domain name business in the mid 1995's or early 2000's, well it's not too late to join this 2 billion dollar industry as reported in Fox News (The Domain Name Business is Real). Though registering a good .COM or .NET .ORG domain name extension is now a challenge. Most terms, words, keywords or street language in Webster Dictionary are all gone, probably own by individuals or in domain name business.



Let me show you how you can join this business with starting $8 to $100 dollar capital.

I worked in Information Technology field as Manager/Consultant by day and domainer by night. So when I try to register a domain name, it something to do with Information Technology, Networking, Security, Helpdesk Operations and other IT related keywords. This is where I start building my own portfolio, from 1 domain name in 1999 to approximately 1300 domain names this year; and hoping to own 10,000+ domain name before ending year 2015. For some readers, my forecast of owning 10,000+ domain names by 2015 is impossible to achieve because of growing competitions from fellow domainer, company, business bully (that use reverse hijacking to claim a domain name) but some will agree that it is possible to accomplish this task.



HOW TO?



When I started in Domain Name business, I figured that I'm already one step behind so I decided to invest in other extension such .CN .IN and .TV. Why these domain extension you ask? Well, simply .IN for india and .CN for chinese, their population counts as the most prospected Internet users in years to come. And .TV is a generic extension that everybody knows, great opportunity to build your own business in media or entertainment sector. For this article, I will show .TV statistic that was sold this year (2007) as reported in different forum e.g. NP, DNF and DS.

LOL.
