Finding Active Domainers Outside Of The Forums

After launching a few of my sites, I am finding that there’s a lot of non – “nay sayer” forum domainers in the real world.

Not that I am calling every forum domainer a “nay sayer”, but we’ve all had our doses. I am just glad to report that yes, there are real people out there at all of levels (from big to small) that have never stepped foot into a domain “forum”.

The misconceptions range from: Digital Point is full of hackers & you WILL get scammed, NamePros controls how you view domaining and for DNF well, simply the forum is full of domainer’s who’s ego’s have blown out of their chests.

With services like twitter, facebook.. even MySpace – I am finding more of the teach & learn technique. I share with a genuine follower what I do every day & in return I sometimes learn something new. It’s like a kind of push & give or give & grab new insight.

I do enjoy the fact that forums do put you in touch with people, services & do fufil a need. You can find a ton of useful info. But Also, I find that domainers can become forum rats. Always quitting or vanishing from the forums & coming back.. or the regular lame posts.. over & over again.. c’mon.

I guess after venturing out into the real world, I am finding more & more genuine people like myself who are actually doing it. We’re not farting around & posting useless stuff on forums. We’re actually doing the work & getting paid. Or if not paid, we know we will soon. We’ve learned better & understand that a post thread bump will only gain 1-5 new visitors a day. While the hard work is getting us repeat visitors.

The people who do the work daily, by going out & mingling deserve my congratulations.  A real domainer will be spending quality time in for example finding another end user sale.. or eye balling the drop lists. If you are out on the forums, you are losing quality time.

For me, it is discipline that keeps me away from forums & movies, tv shows. etc. I have so many things to work on, that I wish I had the time to fart around at the major domaining forums. I am off to do the work & pave new ways for every domainer & while doing so am finding cool people who are also doing the same.

I have doubled my contacts from people who reach out to me & never even heard of namepros. They are now members.. and that helps the forums, but I guess every domainer & his mom has a NP acct :P
