In terms of effort, domain development is the most time consuming and costly aspect of domaining. But it is the most rewarding financially. If done properly, a domain name developed in a popular niche or business area can fetch over $1,200,000 within 12-18 months – or the equivalent of a daily income of $2,222.22.
