- Domainers are seen as squatters. The recent .co sure didn’t help.
- Domainers are seen as scammers. Flipping names without adding any value (or age) sure doesn’t help.
- Owning a domain is not enough. The good-old-days of domain parking are over. Monetizing a domain name means developing.
- Domain names have lost glamour. The center of your business might no longer be the domain name (ie Farmville)
- “Domainer” is English only. The next internet revolution won’t be in English.
Yes, I still research, buy, develop and sell domains, but from now on, please call me an Internet Entrepreneur and not a Domainer
