Let me be upfront in saying that I got into blogging as a means to earn income in my extra time. I wasn't all that good in writing before I started blogging. For years, I haven't even wrote a whole story. I never wrote a poem, an essay or a story my whole life. Needless to say, people who know me would tell you I'm the last person they expect to be a blogger.
In any case, here I am... 1 year into blogging. It felt like an addiction after a couple of months. Good things kept happening which only encouraged me to get better at it. Right now, I have 2 main blogs I maintain regularly and also I have 3 other blogs in development. This blog included.
Why do I think blogging and domaining can complement each other? Well for one thing, I think a blogger and a domainer are both doing the same thing which is building a brand. When you're blogging, you're trying to create a name for yourself in your chosen niche. Building a reputation and good content is a primary goal if you're blogging. An authoritative blog gets more traffic and gets more readership. In my mind, this is the same goal a domainer is reaching for. To get the most out of selling a domain, a domainer needs to develop his domain so that it gets more traffic, gets indexed by search engines better and gets more visibility on the web. A domainer's blog/domain that gets more subscribers and search engine traffic is definitely more attractive than a domain that is parked. A developed domain/blog will fulfill a domainer's goal of selling the domain for a heftier price.
Not all domainers are bloggers and vice-versa. Knowing both and doing good at both, however, will definitely be a plus in the long run.
