There has always been an argument of which type of domains serve a better investment, the generic names or the short and brandable ones. We know that names such as chair.com or table.com could fetch a handsome price, but we should not take these into account as these names are already considered a very premium name which is registered more than perhaps a decade ago.

Lets compare the 2 word generics such as PerfectLoans.com or CheapDomains.com versus a 3 letter .com domain such as foh.com. The reason that we are not taking premium one word generic domains as stated above is because the there are single word short domains available too for a very high price such as bar.com or fog.com. If we were to compare 2 word generics and a short 4 letter .com such as firo.com, I would personally choose the short and brandable ones as this is the Web 2.0 era and these types of domains are the first in choice for companies or site owners.

We have seen the huge increment in the pricing for the LLLL.com since the extinction of these type of domains from the registrars since 2nd November 2007 especially for the quad premium names. In my opinion, this price increment is only the tip of the iceberg as it is still quite recent looking at the fact that it is not even half a year since its extinction.

I have a total of 16 quad premiums, as opposed to many of the resellers who are holding more than hundreds of them. I have planned that I would keep these names for at least another 3 to 4 years or so, in hope that each of them could fetch at least 2-3K in pricing at that time. If it ever does, it could mean a handsome income for just a short period of time. However, apart from that quad premiums, I do have beliefs that the triple premium names would also appreciate in price and I am holding more than hundreds of those.

Now, they had all said that investments are all about luck. However, I really do beg to differ. In my opinion, all investments would eventually flourish. The only concern is the time. When would your investments double fold? When would your investments mature? When would your investments which is in a deficit, rebound back to a 10% profit?

As you can see, it all boils down to time. Lets take for the example of an initial investment of USD 10,000 at the current time. 1 year down the line, you incur a deficit of 10% which results to networth of USD9,000. 10 years down the line, the investment turns out to profit USD1,000 that you could liquidate for a USD11,000. Yes, you would have a profit of USD1,000. However, have you ever thought how much you would gain in return if you have put this cash in a Time Deposit and calculating the level of inflation? Obviously, USD1,000 in 10 years would never be a great investment at all.

If you are in a situation where you are always in shortage of cash, you really need to do something about it rather than seeking assistance in increasing your debts or performing a debt consolidation that could lead you to incur more debts in the future.

Apart from your day job, there is much that you could do for a side income. You just have to be more creative and instill more intiative in yourself to do it. The fact is that the online environment was created in such a way that you could harness the power of it to collaborate in many types of industries to gain some extra bucks. One of the more lucrative income generating source that you could indulge yourself into would be the online advertising through the virtual world. As the internet consists of millions of different websites, you could be rest assured that the hunger for advertising from the advertisers would never be exhausted.
