The Domain Developer: My Journey 👨‍💻 Developer: Self-taught programming and started working as a developer in 2007. 🌐Hobby-Domainer: Began domaining as a hobby in 2009 due to my interest in brands and names. 🤑First Domain Sale: Sold my first domain in 2012 for $500 at Sedo, which changed everything. 👓Obsessed-Domainer: Invested all my earnings, managing 7800 domains at one point. 💡Lesson Learned: Lost much money and time with no good sales. Learned that "quality trumps quantity" and started learning more about domain investing. 📗Refinement: Dropped most domains and reduced my portfolio to 1500. Unfortunately, I realized I had also dropped many gems that are hard to acquire now in 2024. 🥰Fascination: Inspired by the opportunities high-value domains provide, I quit my 10-year developer career in 2017 to focus on developing my own domain names and ideas, becoming "The Domain Developer." 🤞Now: Since then, I have developed a few domain names into projects, sold a few for $300k in total, and dropped many. Right now, I am working on domain360.com, a project that will benefit both me and other domain investors. Follow my journey and insights into the world of domaining!
