Domainers Bucket List

Do you have one?

New Year resolutions are made to be broken and they generally get shorter as we get older but what about your bucket list.  For most people (I will guess) this list gets longer with age.  We become wrapped up with work, incur greater responsibilities as our families grow and plan on spending our golden ages doing the things we want to do.  The fault with this logic is many of the things we want to do may not be possible when we reach our golden years (hoping you are still alive).

My advice is to put serious priority on those things you want to accomplish and try to do them as soon as you can.  In the business of domaining that means mapping out a plan.

Start short - make a list for the next year.  Don’t just hope you are going to sell a name (or two), develop a site when you get some time or pick up that name you always wanted next time around.

Develop a plan – a detailed plan where you can actually check things off.  Some ideas could be:

• Develop at least 1 site in the next 12 months
• Allocate X amount and buy one premium name
• Consolidate all your registry accounts into one
• Buy the house next to Frank Schilling
• Limit your purchases to a proven extension
• Develop another website
• Raise some money (even $1,000 from friends)
• Beat Kevin Ham in an auction

Every domainer will have a different list - what’s important - is to have a list!

Remember, a bucket list can only really begin when one of the items is marked as done – otherwise its just another broken new years resolution.

P.S.  Go see the movie….
