At the end of March we asked, What percentage of domain investors do you think are profitable?
This post followed a poll on Namepros that seemed to show a greater percentage of profitable domain investors than most probably thought.
The results of our poll showed that 39% of voters went with only 10% in the black. Another 20 voters were at the 20% level.

I would imagine the 90% votes were just meant to troll.

Really Id guess more than 90%.
If you visit a conference and meet a success story there are more than 9 others who have or are failing I would imagine. Then again who is a domainer comes into play, is it their full time job (likely not) or they’d be broke so domainer represents all those who buy and try to sell domains period, correct? If so Id imagine many more dollars are spent on reg’s than sells, again just a guess but highly likely.

Just realized 90% was ment to be profitable, ya clearly a troll, no way that is the number as you could tell by my first post. I though 90% was the voted fail rate, so ya, flip that poll to find truth.

Well, the questions itself i so trolly. How would anyone know the answer anyways. Even some of the so called big timers aren’t entirely truthful when they claim their monetary success came from domains alone.

Which big domainers are lying? How is a question trolly? People give their opinion on how successful they think others are who ply the same trade.
