STAYING UPDATED. FOLLOW THE TRENDS/NEWS.

Straight to the point.
You see this domain investing, you have to be current. You need to know what's happening/trending in the domain world and outside (globally). Why?

1. Registrar's run promos from time to time. Domains that should cost $8 are made available for $6 or less. Some also create sweet/affordable transfer deals. So you have to be current in order not to miss the info.

2. In the domain industry, registrars (you already know what a registrar is) and marketplaces sometimes FIGHT/QUARREL with each other. And when two elephants fight, it's the grass (domainers) that always suffer. Example: SAV registrar currently have a FIGHT with DAN domain Marketplace (the other way actually). Because of this, if you bought/registered your domains at SAV .com, you CANNOT sell it at DAN marketplace. And you know how important DAN marketplace is. So if you are someone who likes DAN marketplace, then you'll avoid SAV registrar.
There are also other ongoing 'Fights' among marketplace and registrars. So you need to be current.

3. From time to time, there are new developments in the world, from tech, to lifestyle, to sports. As a Domainer, if you are always current, then you stand a greater chance of profiting from trends. Just imagine the people who were first to grab/register good bitcoin names. BitcoinMarket, BTCMarket, GoBitcoin, etc. That's cool money! Currently, NFT (Non Fungible Tokens) is trending. Many NFT names have been registered and there's been Many report of Sales in $$$$.
Also, sometimes last year, someone reported (on twitter) he sold 2 .VC (.VC is an extension like .com) domains for about $4999 in quick succession. When the new got out, many domainers started registering .VC domains. Even me, I registered 3. Though no sales yet. But Many have reported sales. So you see the importance of being current.

4. Sometimes, domain brokers make public posts on various media platforms requesting for certain types of names. If you have what they need, then you stand a good chance of selling your domains that way.

5. Some domains sell well at specific marketplaces. If you are current, then you'll know which marketplace is suitable for your domains.

6. There are pros in this business with thousands, and hundreds of thousands of Domains. From time to time, they share golden nuggets/insights/info about pricing, marketplace, etc. Generally, what has worked for them and what isn't working. If you want to climb up the Domain investing ladder, then you better pay attention to what they are saying.

There are still more reason why you should be current/up-to-date. But let me stop this post here.
Next, I'll post some domain industry related Twitter handles to follow. As a Domainer, After registering at Namepros (the largest domain forum in the world), Twitter is the next place you need to get an account. The domain industry's big boys and girls are there.

On April 1, the President reportedly met with four Islamic clerics, namely, the Chief Imam of the Abuja National Mosque, Ustaz Musa Mohammed; leader of the Izala Muslim sect in Katsina State, Sheik Yakubu Musa; Sheikh Isa Pantami, and the President of the Supreme Council of Sharia in Nigeria, Sheik Ibrahim Datti-Ahmed.

The clerics reportedly prayed for the President.

The visit of the Muslim clerics preceded that of their Christian counterparts, who also reportedly visited Yar’Adua at his private residence at the Presidential Villa last Monday.

The four Christian clerics, namely, the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Archbishop John Onaiyekan; the General Overseer of the Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo; Pastor Emmanuel Kure of the Throne Room Trust; and former Aso Rock chaplain, Prof. Yusuf Obaje, also prayed for the President.

While the Muslim clerics said they sought the invitation to meet with Yar’Adua and pray for him, the Christian leader said they were invited individually.
