Are you currently less than satisfied with your parking revenue? Do you think that domain development is the best thing since sliced bread? Are you excited and eager to make things happen? If so, get ready to fail MISERABLY!
I’ve received quite a few emails from domainers who are thinking about developing at least a handful of domains and most of them have told me that there’s TOO MUCH information out there. Well, they’re right and here’s the thing:
You ARE Going to Screw Up Royally!
Remember the first domain you bought or registered? Did it end up representing a great investment? Probably not! In fact, most if not all domainers have started out by buying or hand regging crappy domains.
What happened afterwards? Well, there are two main types of people:
1) Folks who get discouraged and give up
2) Folks who see failure as something that teaches them valuable lessons and motivates them to become better and better
Why would things be any different when it comes to development? Go ahead and ask anyone who is currently making bank how things were back when he or she started out. Was that person’s first business model brilliant? Yeah right!
Reading is great and everything but it can only get you so far. On the one hand, it makes sense to dedicate at least a few minutes each day to reading, even if you are making some decent coin. On the other hand, all of the books in the world won’t help if you’re not willing to work your ass of.
I LOVE Failure, Don’t You?
People who come up with all sorts of excuses because they are afraid of failure will also end up hiding from success. Your comfort zone = your biggest enemy. No matter how much you read, you will still fail when starting out as a developer and that’s NOT a bad thing.
Fail, learn a few lessons, fail some more, make bank: rinse and repeat
