Hello, my name is Alex Drobushevskiy.

\ I’m a solo entrepreneur and domain investor.

\ The idea of investing in domains came to me several years ago. At that time, I had a small design studio.

\ I visited the websites of large design studios and marketing agencies to gather contacts and offer them our outsourcing services.

\ During this process, I came across websites that were not working or had errors. I thought that if a site wasn't working, perhaps the owner had abandoned the business. I considered redirecting traffic from these non-functioning websites to my agency's site to attract targeted traffic and clients.

\ I began tracking domains for websites that are down, to register them.

If the owner doesn't renew the domain, it becomes available for registration by the registrar. Knowledge and understanding of a domain's life cycle are important as they provide information about what happens if an owner forgets to renew a domain.

\ 👉 The life cycle of a domain

\ That's how I started buying domains.

\ By reading various business articles, I became interested in people's businesses and visited their websites. This way, I found non-functional and abandoned websites that had external links and a good reputation.

\ I added these domains to my watchlist, and when they became available for registration, I registered them.

\ To track domains, I use the Telegram bot YourDomainBot, which sends notifications when a domain expires or becomes available for registration.

\

This helps me avoid having to keep all the information about each domain in my head.

\ I track about 500 domains.

\ Without the assistance of a bot, this would be impossible.

\ In this simple way, I created my first domain investment portfolio.
