Humans are somehow obsessed with dates and numbers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since the early days of cave-dwelling, counting the goods we owned has apparently instilled a certain level of instinctive focus on numbers: how many, how often, when.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When it comes down to domains and domain portfolios, renewal dates<\/strong> are effective timestamps that tell us it’s time to fork out more money to extend their lifespan, or drop them and take a loss.<\/p>\n

But how can you effectively leverage<\/strong> your domain portfolio’s worth?<\/p>\n

Every domainer is more or less biased<\/strong> when it comes down to determining the worth, the value, the moolah related to their domain portfolio. Often times, we are partial to a domain because of a sudden plan we had – often under the influence of alcohol, chocolate, coffee or other stimulants.<\/em> We are not as objective as we should be<\/strong> regarding our domains’ worth, simply because like during those early days in the caves, we are counting the beans as ours and we’re refusing to give them up.<\/p>\n

The solution: give your portfolio list to someone else to evaluate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although it sounds very simplistic and bears a certain degree of embarrassment – perhaps due to adult names or completely crap names<\/em> – getting a second opinion on your group of domains will take away the heavy load of commitment to bad names. By having a second – or third – opinion over your domains’ worth, you’re letting go of the weight of obsession over certain names you’ve held onto for years, for no apparent reason other than to tag as *yours*.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So find a respectable domainer associate and share your “family jewels<\/em>” with them; it will save you a lot of money at renewal time.<\/p>\n
