Questions

Over the years I've collected about 200 domain names as a hobby. Thinking that some names would get a lot of traffic or I could at least hit a niche. I want to get a landing page set up on each. What's the best way manage all these domain names and make something happen. Should I try to sell them, get a simple wordpress site up on each of them or should I leave this for the professionals? What are your thoughts?

About once a week, I run across a domain owner who has domain names gathering dust and who is hoping for an idea that will be easy to implement, make money, and require little maintenance.

In reality, though, that's backwards. Start with a business idea. Evaluate whether you can make that business succeed. Then consider which domain(s) will best help you brand that idea and market that business.

Don't look at your domains and invent justifications for their existence.

Running a business -- let alone 200 mini sites -- is far from easy. It requires much time, stress, money, and commitment ... probably in excess of what you've put into those 200 domains so far.

Maybe those 200 domains deserve to be developed. But unless the idea precedes the domains, you're more likely to be deluding yourself when you try to convert them into websites.

Start with 1. If you can make 1 website work for you, expand to 2. Forget 200 for now.
