Patrick Carlson started out on the Internet as a domain investor. Some people feel there is no longer a market for domain names. Mr. Carlson feels that if you study it first so that you know what to buy and how to buy it, there is plenty of money to be made with domain names. Read all you can, learn all you can, use the information as best you can, and make all the money you can.
