  • What is Domaining? How to Begin a Domain Name Business

    What is Domaining? How to Begin a Domain Name Business


    For those who are unfamiliar with the domaining business, it entails buying, selling, developing, and monetizing domain names. It is, in fact, a BIG business with the potential to earn you a million dollars. You may not believe me, but when you consider that AsSeenOnTv.com was sold for $5.1 million, Autos.com was sold for $2.2 million, Express.com was sold for $1.8 million, and so on.

    It’s a million-dollar business, but it’s not just about big names; expert domainers frequently make $10,000 or $100,000 on unknown domains as well. With so many new domain name extensions entering the market and so many businesses closing down and abandoning premium domain names on a daily basis, the industry is constantly growing. This expansion brings with it an ever-increasing potential for success, but it also brings with it a slew of new challenges.

    This article will go over a few important checklist items to think about when starting a domaining business from scratch.

    1- Recognize that you will need some money to make more money:

    Yes, money is required to start a domaining business, and it can range between $100 and $100,000. Successful domainers typically own a large number of domains to build their portfolio, but you can begin with a small number. A lot depends on the business model you choose, and your financial needs will vary accordingly.

    2- Skills Required

    To be honest, you don’t need any specific skills, but you should be eager to learn, gain experience, and grow. The best way to learn about domaining is to do it yourself. To be successful in your domaining business, you will need experience, which you will gain through experimentation and learning from relevant domaining resources such as Purely Space. Never close the doors to learning, and you will find success!

    3- Be Aware of and Understand the Risk:

    In reality, no business is risk-free, and domaining business is no exception. You must be aware of the various types of risks associated with the domaining business, such as domain marketplace scams, the value of.com names (or other top-level domains) decreasing for various reasons, typosquatting popular companies can result in a lawsuit from the company, and so on. Domaininvesting.com has correctly described the five types of risks associated with the domaining business.

    4- Avoid the Wrong Ways to Make Money from Domaining:

    Every business has ethical and unethical ways to make money, and the domaining business has some unethical ways to make money as well. It is critical to be aware of and avoid these bad habits. The following business models should be avoided:

    • Domain hijacking is the process of stealing an internet domain name from its rightful registrant.
    • Cybersquatting is the practice of registering domain names in bad faith in order to profit from the goodwill of a trademark that you do not own.
    • Typosquatting occurs when you register domains that closely resemble popular domains, such as Goolge.com, MciroSoft.com, and so on, with the intent of gaining traffic and possibly selling the domain at a higher price. It may not be illegal, but it increases the likelihood of a lawsuit from the companies.

    5- Discovering the Most Profitable Strategy:

    If you are serious about getting into the domaining business, the best option is to go the legal route, which is both risk-free and highly rewarding. Here are some of the most successful domaining business models.

    1. Domain monetization is one of the best business models because it is low risk, completely legal, and can yield massive profits. You purchase domains, create strategies to profit from the traffic they generate, and then sell the site for anywhere between 12 and 24 times the site’s monthly revenue + brand price.
    2. Another business model is domain development, in which you buy brandable domains, add a website and a service to the domain, and capitalize on traffic until you sell the domain name and its service.
    3. Domain capitalization is a risky business model, but if you’re good at valuing domains, it can help you sell the next million dollar domain. For example, if you purchase fitandtrim.com with the expectation that a product or service with that name will be released sometime in the future, you are the only person who can purchase this domain.

    In conclusion:

    Make sure to choose the right business model before you begin your domaining venture. Take some time to learn about all of the different business models and then select the one that suits you best. Experienced domainers run multiple business models at the same time, but as a newcomer, it’s best to start with a single direction.

  • 7 Stock Market Investing Tips

    7 Stock Market Investing Tips


    Have you decided to invest in the stock market? Consider these 7 stock market investing tips when making your investments.

    1. Have a solid comprehension of basic economic principals.

    Before you get started, you should understand basic principals and laws of economics. The stock market closely follows the law of supply and demand. For example, when there is a large demand for the stock of a certain company, the cost of its stock will increase along with the demand. However, if there are more stock available for sale than there are buyers, the unit price of that company stock will decrease.

    2. Learn about prospective companies you want to invest in.

    Do your homework before you invest in prospective companies. Read the company annual report and find out about their products, operations, services and basic business track record. This information gives you an idea of how stable the company is and whether they can deliver on their promise to offer profits to investors.

    3. Select companies with staying power.

    There are so many companies that exist in today’s stock market, selecting becomes a major decision for beginning investors. Relatively stable companies and business are owned by the government, unless there is a political revolution or crisis going on. Gasoline companies and telecommunications companies are usually profitable and stable because there is a constant demand for their services and products. While IT companies are rapidly growing in today’s stock market, there are so many of them it may be a challenge to check their profiles to exercise reasonable care before investing. Before putting your money into an IT company, verify their track record and make sure they are stable and profitable for a minimum of 10 years.

    4. Keep an eye on the news.

    Guesswork is completely ineffective when it comes to investing in the stock market. Good intuition and solid decision-making come from learning about global and local news both politically and economically. When you watch the news, make sure to keep track of the industry your company is in. Even stable companies may go bankrupt or have a major blow that will bring them down.

    5. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

    Avoid investing in just one company and spread out your stock investments to several businesses. When you have stock concentrated in just one company, you have a greater chance of losing it all. When you spread out your investments over several companies, those earning profits can cushion the ones that not not as profitable.

    6. Stockbrokers aren’t the final word.

    A stock broker is actually gambling with your money so you need to do your own homework. Dishonest brokers can take advantage of investors who do not fully comprehend how the stock market works.

    7. Greed is your enemy.

    While everyone is eager to make profits in the stock market, an investor loses their sense of reason when they are fueled by greed. A money hungry investor may forget to check on economic rumors and spontaneously decide to sell or buy with the thought of making major profits and then lose it all.

    Putting your money in the stock market can of course be risky, but the above stock market investing tips should help point you in the right direction.

  • Becoming an Investor in Nepal

    Becoming an Investor in Nepal


    Before we get into how to become an investor in Nepal, it’s important to understand who an investor is. An investor is someone who puts money into something with the hope of profiting in the future. A return is the benefit derived from such an investment. Investors are always on the lookout for high-yielding investment opportunities.

    What distinguishes an investor from others?

    Based on a book written by Robert Kiyosaki Rich Dad Poor Dad, people can be divided into four distinct categories in terms of generating income. They are:

    1. Employee (Salary-based) are those who work for others in order to meet their needs. They are paid at the end of the month for their work. Job holders are included in this category. Employees benefit from security because they know they will be paid at the end of the month. The main disadvantage of being an employee is the lack of freedom.

    2. Self-employed are individuals who work for themselves. They have more freedom than salaried employees, but they must work like salaried employees to meet their demands.

    3. Businessmen are the owners of the company Business owners hire others to work for them. They create products and services in order to make money.

    4. Investors invest in businesses and stocks for profit.

    According to the book, in order to become wealthy, you must be either a businessman or an investor, or both.

    Investing characteristics

    Not all of your money can be considered an investment. There are a few factors that distinguish between spending and investing. The following are the two most important characteristics that every investor should possess:

    1. Safety of principal

    The principal is your machine, which can print money for you. It is in your best interest to keep your machine in good working order. When you lose your principal, you can’t make money off of it. As a result, the safety of the principal should be your top priority.

    2. Adequate return

    When you put your money into a good business, you get something in return. Your return can take the form of cash, shares, or stocks. What you should remember is that your principal earns you some level of return. You should not expect a return on your investment that is exponential or even out of the realm of possibility. Investing with a non-realistic expectation of return is gambling. Never put your principal at risk. It is all you have.

    Benefits of being an investor

    1. Beating inflation

    Inflation is a term used to describe the gradual decline in the purchasing power of money. A popular saying goes, “A dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow.” As an investor, you have the ability to outperform inflation and keep your money’s value constant. You should always keep an eye on inflation and strive to outperform it. Your investment return should always be greater than your country’s inflation rate.

    2. Own businesses of different types

    It is yet another advantage of being an investor. You can own as many and as varied businesses as you want. What you should have are some investing principles that you can use before you start investing. After you’ve established your investing principle, the world is yours to explore.

    A popular investing field in Nepal

    There are three main popular fields of investing in Nepal. They are:

    Land and Real estate

    Real estate is and has always been the best investment opportunity. Real estate investment generates income from two sources: renting and selling real estate. It can be both active and passive investment. You can actively buy and sell properties, or you can simply invest in real estate and let time do the work of calculating your income. You can always expect your property’s value to rise over time. In the meantime, you can use the money you earn from renting to cover your day-to-day expenses.

    Interest yielding deposits

    Banks in Nepal offer competitive interest rates on fixed deposit savings. You can protect your principal by using fixed-deposit schemes offered by commercial banks or development banks in Nepal. While cooperative companies in Nepal have high rates of return, they have a bad reputation for fraud or scams. It is not a good idea to put all of your money in cooperatives.

    In Nepal, there is also peer-to-peer lending. It pays a higher interest rate on your money than institutions, but it also carries a higher risk.

    Interest-bearing deposits are one of the best passive income ideas in Nepal, regardless of where you choose to invest.

    Nepal Stock Exchange

    Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) is the country’s sole stock exchange. If you are new to this, you can read the NEPSE beginner’s guide. Investing in stocks provides you with two significant benefits. You can be a shareholder in any company you want, and you will receive an annual return. Alternatively, you can sell your stocks if the price rises. Stock investing, like real estate investing, allows you to be either an active trader or a passive investor. Stock investing can begin with as little as 100 rupees. Stocks could be the next best small business in Nepal for you.

    Furthermore, the best investment you can make is in yourself. Always seek to broaden your knowledge. Read books, websites, and news to stay current. One thing that all of the best investors have in common is that they are voracious readers. As the saying goes, the more you learn, the more you earn.

    Lastly…

    It is not easy to become an investor. To become a good investor in Nepal and other countries, a certain set of principles and hard work are required. However, it is not as difficult as learning rocket science. Anyone can become a good investor with careful planning and dedication. There are a few things you should never forget and a few things you should never forget. Best wishes for your investment.

  • The Use of Stock Investment Tools

    The Use of Stock Investment Tools


    In days past, stock market information was limited and often buyers depended on stockbrokers to try to get the facts about investments. Today there are a variety of stock investment tools to assist modern investors and maximize the amount of information they can find about potential investments and trading activities.

    The widespread use of the Internet puts a wealth of information at your fingertips right away. The Internet has facts about many publicly listed companies in the United States. Certain websites provide free research information, which may be rather general in nature but still useful to beginners. Other companies publish in-depth research reports outlining the activities of listed companies. These detailed reports may only be offered through a subscription, which may be an expensive choice for retail based investors. Based on the quality of the research provided about the company, such detailed reports may wind up costing hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

    For simple background facts, stock investors can peruse news articles, analyst reviews and research reports intended to supply fundamental company information. This basic information can come from analyzing previously published financial reports or catching up on current news events regarding the company’s activities. This fundamental research can be a place to start to obtain more information so investors can adequately analyze the data to make educated investment decisions.

    Investors can also take advantage of a variety of stock investment tools that offer management or raw data including current stock quotes, index performances or historical price data. Such tools may be purchased from a software company and then installed in computers. These tools assist in gathering, processing and analyzing raw data so the information is more useful to the investor.

    For example, an investor can take raw data of the historical closing prices of certain companies and run it through investment software to find out additional information such as the volume of stocks traded on a particular company for a said period of time or the historical price trend of one company compared to an index of other companies. These stock investment tools generate reports that assist investors in developing more effective trading strategies from the raw data they originally had.

    Certain stock investment tools purchased from various software companies may cost hundreds of dollars. This type of pricey investment may not be practical for small scale investors looking to make a profit right away. Individual or beginning investors can take advantage of analysis tools on the Internet made available from stock market companies for free to their clients. These tools are also made available for free to online investment clients to help them develop their trading strategies to try to achieve profits.

    Efficient stock investment tools, research products and information are readily accessible on the Internet for your convenience. However, it still requires data gathering, interpretation of analysis and careful planning to ensure successful trading. By using some online tools and careful analysis of the data, investors can develop viable trades for long term investment growth.

  • How To Choose the Best Router For Your Home WiFi?

    How To Choose the Best Router For Your Home WiFi?


    Choosing a reliable router is critical for getting the best WiFi performance out of your home network. Discover how to choose the best wireless router for your home WiFi.

    In Nepal, we have routers ranging from low-end to very high-end for various customer classes. TP-Link, Nokia, NETGEAR, Digicom, and other brands are available. When you setup a new internet connection, you are given a default router that meets the most basic criteria. However, if you want to ensure optimal performance as well as improved security for your home network, you must consider a number of variables.

    More antennas (MIMO) correspond to improved signal direction and allow you to receive the maximum bandwidth equitably across all of your devices. Using numerous antennas generates numerous streams of data packets over radio channels, increasing data speed to the devices.

    Routers with only one antenna are a thing of the past. All ISPs now provide their clients with dual antenna routers. However, if you want greater confidence, you can purchase a router with three additional antennae if necessary. However, there are more performance criteria than just antennas, which brings us to frequency bands.

    Dual-Band Or More

    As our internet requirements grow, so should the functions of routers. We require routers that provide continuous connections while using the same bandwidth. This necessitates the use of a dual-band router capable of delivering a continuous connection. Routers operate on two frequencies: 2.4GHz and 5GHz. A 6 GHz model is on the way.

    Another important element for modern companies or even households is the USB port. We can connect hard drives, printers, and other devices to the router and use them to run prints, examine data, and update software. If you have a USB C connector, you can charge your phone while making critical calls.

    Currently, most routers that come included with ISPs include a USB 2.0 port. If you want to go a step further, get your new router with USB 3.0 and USB-Type C capability.

    Router For Smart Home

    In recent years, the concept of smart houses has grown in popularity. Although the definition of a smart home is hazy, it includes the use of IoT, Alexa, Chromecast, Sensors, and other devices that require a stable internet connection with a high bandwidth speed.

    A router that is linked with Alexa or Google Assistant is required to supplement the demands for a Smart Home connection.

    Having a router with smart home integration will allow you to run many apps and devices at the same time, resulting in a domestic eco-system. You can control the router by speaking commands to Alexa. You can enable or disable WiFi, switch off the router’s LED lights, and so forth.

    If you want to buy a router that works with Alexa, you can go with the TP-Link Deco Voice X20 or look for others available in Nepal.

    An extension is good for one or two rooms, but if you want a full WiFi network solution, a mesh router is your best alternative.

    It is possible to infiltrate a greater area with a mesh Wifi router, such as the balcony or the basement, to the poolside.

    Mesh routers use two or more connected devices to provide a consistent WiFi signal throughout your area. It’s similar to configuring a slew of routers at home. Mesh router settings will provide you with a flawless WiFi connection in any room or region of your home.

    Mesh WiFi routers can easily found online.

    Security Features

    Security features are critical for protecting your home network from hackers and spies. Routers do include security measures such as antivirus software, VPNs, and other extensions to help safeguard the connection. The issue is that these features are not properly supported by routers with low-cost hardware.

    The image above depicts a typical menu of a Wifi Router that comes standard with Ntc FTTH.

    Search For Review

    Allow yourself some time to research a specific router if you have your heart set on it. You should look at its performance, dependability band, and security features to see if it meets your needs.

    You may find professional reviews on reputable websites, as well as consumer evaluations on YouTube. You can also read the buyer reviews and learn from their experiences. It does aid in determining whether the router you desire will satisfy your expectations. Learning ahead of time will save you money and help you avoid future regrets.

    So those are the guidelines we prepared to assist you in determining your next best router. However, it is entirely dependent on your needs and budget. Most default routers provided by ISPs have a single band that operates at 2.4GHz. They have one or two USB 2.0 ports as well as basic security measures and a restricted network range.

    Which One To Buy?

    We have compiled a list of critical elements that will ensure you get the best performance out of your router. However, the following critical question is which one you would require. Do you require a WiFi router with a 5GHz band, or do you require a WiFi Mesh router for a greater area? Or would you be OK with a standard router with a 2.4GHz band?

    The solution is in your goals. If you’re looking for a router for a large workplace with a lot of employees who use a lot of bandwidth, the default router from your ISP might not be the best option. Furthermore, network congestion may not be beneficial on a standard router. For constant performance, you may need to purchase a 5GHz router.

    Meanwhile, if you’re only using it for your little family, any basic router will suffice. Spend less on specifications and more on dependability and ease.

    In Nepal, you may purchase routers ranging in price from NRs. 2,000 to NRs. 15,000 or above. The major brands that offer numerous routers in various classes include TP-Link, Digicom, NETGEAR, and others. Mesh routers and repeaters are also available from several online retailers. As a result, first decide what features you want in a router before parting with your money. Having the greatest Wifi router is one strategy for increasing your internet speed.

    Which WiFi router are you currently using? Are you happy with its signal range and performance, or do you intend to replace it? What features in a decent wireless router are most important to you? Please share your thoughts in the comments box below.

  • How to install Windows 11 if your PC does not meet minimum requirements

    How to install Windows 11 if your PC does not meet minimum requirements


    Microsoft released Windows 11 earlier today, along with updated minimum hardware requirements. Many people have already complained on Twitter that their relatively new hardware, such as Microsoft’s Surface Book 2 (released in 2017) and even newer hardware, isn’t compatible. This is due to the fact that Microsoft now requires the presence of a TPM 2.0 module in the device, as explained below by the Twitter handle @KorokuGaming:

    Open Windows Powershell and type get-tpm to see if your device has the compatible TPM; here’s an example from one of our recently built gaming rigs:

    Windows 11 screenshots

    In a nutshell, if you are planning to try out Windows 11 then you’ll need the minimum specs below:

    • 1Ghz 64-bit dual-core processor
    • 4GB RAM
    • 64GB storage
    • 9-inch display (1366×768 resolution)
    • UEFI, Secure Boot
    • TPM 2.0
    • DirectX 12 compatible graphics / WDDM 2.x

    Windows 11 screenshots

    If you get the above message when running the Windows PC Health Check app, there’s still a way to get Windows 11 next week when it’s released to Insiders. You’ll need to opt into the Dev channel of Windows Insiders within Windows 10, and you’ll get the build automatically when it’s released, minimum specs be damned.

    To join Windows Insiders, go to All Settings > Update & Security > Windows Insider Program (you may be prompted to enable Optional Diagnostic & Feedback), then click Get started and select the Dev channel if it’s available (you may have to restart Windows in order to switch channels).

    The complete process is outlined in this post at the Windows Insider Blog:

    All Windows Insiders who have already been installing builds from the Dev Channel on their PCs up through June 24, 2021 will be allowed to continue installing Windows 11 Insider Preview builds even if their PC does not meet the minimum hardware requirements.

    People who choose to get Windows 11 Insider builds despite the fact that their device isn’t eligible may experience bugs that will never be fixed, which could lead to them being flagged as having an incompatible device when reporting bugs to Microsoft.

    Windows 11
    Come here my pretty!

    Furthermore, if you run into issues and decide to reinstall Windows by hard-resetting your computer, those devices will be automatically opted out of Windows 11 Insider Preview builds and will not be able to upgrade to Windows 11. These devices will be treated as new PCs, according to Microsoft, and the minimum hardware requirements will be enforced.

    Finally, when Windows 11 is made generally available, which means when the final build is released, those PCs will be removed from the flighting program and will have to reinstall Windows 10 from scratch.
