Elliot,

Stick to your “bread and butter”, buying and selling domain names which is bringing you money. Developing is fine, but if it takes time away from what makes you the most amount of money than it’s not productive.

Thanks, Jim

Or maybe the best approach is to develop all of the premium domains, immediately adding the value onto the domain, while monetizing it at the same time to create an income stream from it. At the same time, listing all of the assets for sale endlessly for premium prices until a buyer comes along. Its a buy and hold approach, however, each asset still has an acquirable price tag which the seller will accept. At the same time, live frugally (like Warren Buffett) to minimize any damage personal expenses can have on ones own personal business venture.

You have a very similar business model to myself (federer over at NamePros). This is without a doubt a WINNING model that can only drive revenue and profits up over time. Each domain (especially if generic, product/service-related) is a unique piece of real estate that will, at some stage, catch the eyes of a motivated investor or end user. Developing allows you to raise awareness concerning your digital asset (ex. higher ranking in the major SE’s) whilst enjoy residual income. Development is best when targeting just handful of nicely searched terms/domains that you don’t mind holding onto for quite some time. Good things always come to those who wait.
