How Kevin Bacon & Six Degrees Helped Kick Off My Domain Business

Posted: October 4, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Domainate News | 2 Comments

The interesting thing about the domain business is that it’s such a new business that almost no one actually in it aspired to be in it. When I was little, domain names didn’t exist, so I couldn’t dream of making a living with domains. Most people never even realize that there is a domain industry to begin with!

Over the 15 years I’ve been involved in the domain industry, I’ve had the opportunity to get to know several thousand of part-time and full-time domainers. (The term “domainer” is used broadly to designate those who invest in domains.) Everyone has a unique story – just as unique as the path they have chosen to take in the domain business.

We maintain our own blogs at Domainate.com and Doma.in but we thought it might be useful to try and expand our reach by having a blog here.

This blog will be a bit more informal in nature. We’ll use it to share information about new things at our company and also provide commentary on the domain industry as a whole.
