Nine techniques for domain name investment are indispensable

2. Understand whether the end-users for the domain names you register are in China or abroad. Double-pin domains are undoubtedly within the Chinese-speaking world. When it comes to single words and word combinations, look at the suffix. Almost the entire world recognizes domain names consisting of single words and word combinations. However, in the Chinese-speaking world, these have mostly become collectibles. In the early days of open suffixes, it was also one of the first types to be widely acquired.

3. For domain names with daily traffic, it is recommended to park them; if you can earn some revenue, that's a good approach. Creating sales pages for them would be a waste of traffic.

4. Pay less in tuition fees, and you're more likely to endure until the time of end-user pricing. The best way to pay fewer tuition fees is not to impulsively register. Registrations made without thorough research typically result in domains that are prepared to be discarded after a year. Generally, it takes 2-3 years of registration and renewal for domain investors to determine whether a domain is valuable.

5. Short domains are highly regarded for their investment value. In terms of combinations, there is a limited quantity, and in applications, short domains are convenient for branding and easy to input. Since there are numerous suffixes, they greatly influence the level of investment risk. Therefore, heavily investing in short domains is a way and strategy to reduce risk.

Planning for domains several years in advance, domains are like fruit trees from seed to blossoming, and the harvest season is when domain investors profit.

7. Domain investors have only two profit strategies: one is to go for quantity, and the other is to go for high prices. Making a profit with low-margin quantity is very challenging, and even going for quantity at a loss is not easy. In today's landscape, making a profit with low margins and quantity is nearly impossible, and it comes with high risks. Therefore, going for high prices is the only choice.

8. The variety of prefixes and suffixes chosen by domain investors determines the two major factors of future investment risk and investment success. Investment is about planning for the future in advance, minimizing costs, and reducing risks as much as possible.
