So...I might start blogging about domain investing again, but I'm still on the fence

Last night on Twitter/X I posed a question:

I got a lot of positive feedback so I’m starting to think more seriously about starting to write about domain investing again. At the same time, the reality is, domain investing is a very small part of my life these days so I’m not as plugged in as I used to be.

That being said, I can’t help but watch the industry and I’m pretty excited by some of the recent developments like the dream team Kate, Todd, and Shane are building at Defining.com or the awesome stuff Richard and team are doing on the registrar side at Spaceship.

One piece of feedback on my tweet has been running through my head:

Right now 99.9% of my time goes into being the co-founder and CTO of a software company, so that’s what is really on my mind. So I did like the idea of maybe writing more about what I actually do day-to-day.

But I’ll be honest, here’s my main hesitation that I’m still working through. I don’t consider myself a domain investing expert, and I’m definitely not a startup expert. This is my first startup, I’m learning as I go.

When you write a blog it’s tricky – many people see bloggers as influencers and/or thought leaders and well, I’m really not either of those things. I’m just a guy who likes to write who misses writing this blog but also doesn’t really want to get back into the fray in many ways.

One thing I’ve learned about myself over the last few years is that I’m probably more of an introvert than people might think. Putting myself out there tends to add a lot of stress that I know people don’t see, but it’s there and I think that was one of the reasons why I stopped blogging in the first place if I’m being honest.

I’m not good at sales, nor do I like selling things, and I definitely suck at selling domains. But when I write a blog post about domain investing I find some people read it and think – oh he must be an expert, he must sell a lot of domains, be good at sales, etc.

At the end of the day I’m really just someone that is passionate about technology, I love building products and more than anything I love building teams. At the same time, I’m not an expert in doing either, I really am just a student of everything in life right now.

I don’t have any aspirations to be an influencer or thought leader, I don’t want to speak at conferences, but I do want to love writing and want to get more of my writing out there. So I’m at a bit of a crossroads, not sure what I’ll end up doing but it was nice to see so much support when I put out that tweet last night.

The question is – can I make this a comfortable path forward for me? Time will tell, for now I’m okay with not really knowing what the answer is today.
