Here are the 12 included (click over to get the full descriptions):

  1. Domain conferences
  2. Annual domain registrations
  3. Internet access
  4. Home office
  5. Mobile phone
  6. Domain software
  7. Domain services
  8. Web hosting
  9. Advertising
  10. Meals and Entertainment
  11. Legal expenses
  12. Office supplies

Please remember to consult an accountant before filing your taxes.

On some rare occasions, I will get someone that sounds interested and wants to learn more.   Where do you point someone like this?   Going forward, one place I will be sending this people is Domaining 101.   While this post is very basic, it does a great job of providing many of the essentials a domainer needs to get started.

In the interest of full disclosure, I am not a big fan of Domaining.com.   While they technically aren’t feed scrapers, they don’t do any work.   They don’t write content, they don’t do research, they don’t post any original thoughts.   They just publish an excerpt of what was already published elsewhere.

As a person that runs a domain blog, I don’t like that it takes away from the need to visit the actual blog.  Now they want you to pay them?   I think this is a bad move on there part.
