The Fundamentals

We're going to start by reviewing some of the fundamentals that you need to understand if you're going to invest in domains.

There are far too many people on the internet preaching that you need to make some cash as fast as you can so that you gain a sense of success and don't quit. I disagree. Like anything worth doing, it's worth doing well. Learning to play a musical instrument, learning to play a new sport, whatever it is, you are going to be much further ahead if you master the fundamentals first.

Of course, this is usually more difficult than jumping straight to "the fun stuff" and never really understanding the reasoning behind your decisions. If you think back to some of your teachers the ones that you respect the most in hindsight probably were real task masters at the time. You know the ones that you would curse under your breath every time they made you run the same drill over and over. But voila, years later you can still play the game better than many of your buds because you mastered the fundamentals.

Don't worry, we're not going to make you run drills over and over. That's up to you how much you practice and put the knowledge we're going to teach you into action. But, we are going to take some time up front and lay out the fundamentals properly. So, if you start to wonder "where's the beef", hang in there and follow along with the knowledge that when we're done you're going to be way ahead of 95% of the so-called domainers in the game today.
