I thought of some domains but since I didnt know how to purchase, i asked a collegue who know how to acquire do it. She purchased it in her name. I co-own a Media Company with her so I didnt bother to have them transferred to me. Later, we decided that I should get started with a blog, and so I used one of the domains. Later when I gave up my stake in the company, i wanted to reimburse them for the domains. But for the one I used, I am being billed 88x the cost. Apparently for the advertising she has given it which is a link in her blog. Later I learned that b5Media was purchasing it (or maybe purchased by now). I was given first refusal(to buy the domain i though of and put content on), but since its beyond my budget, I let it go. I wonder if B5media purchased it for its name or its PR5(which is what Im being billed for). Lesson? Purchase domains in your name. Yes, I know how to now, and own a few dozen.

They generate income automatically, with no interference on your part, and that income can be quite large. Yes, domain name business can be profitable. I am not experienced with domain name business so far, but this aspect is on my ‘to-do’ list.
