The term domainer or domain investor can hold many meanings not limited to merely flipping domain names or collecting PPC payments. I have associates who work under the domain industry umbrella by flipping names, developing domains related to their offline businesses, brokering domains, monetizing domain traffic, attracting leads, building software, even promoting themselves for government offices.

Personally, I am more of an entrepreneur than an 'old school' domain investor. I like to focus on my talents and interests in graphic design, scripting, philosophy and art while using domains to build on those interests. I apply my personal strengths to a specific path I choose to take when it comes to domaining.

If you want to excel in the domain industry then you should start by focusing on an interest (or a set of interests, passions, hobbies) and fusing those with domaining in some form. For instance; if you are good with sales you can try lead generation, flipping domains or brokering domains. If you are good at woodworking you can use domains to sell your work. The possibilities to get your foot in the door are endless.

No matter which path you choose one thing remains universal; if you are going to do it, do it with dedication, persistence and critical thinking. Dream it. Build on it. Learn from it.

And then do it again.
