How to invest in domain names related to fashions or fads
Fashion trends can be passing, cyclical or become established. We generally think of fashions or fads as being short term.
Investing in domain names around fads or fashions is much riskier. You must snap up the domain names very early and offload them at the peak of demand.
You can hold domain names for fads that you think might be cyclical but you should take the intervening amount of time into account. Domain names for an area with seasonally recurring demand are good investments.
Anticipating fads is quite difficult. Sometimes a fad is popular among a small group and then rapidly spreads to the general public.
Even if you are too late to pick up names directly related to a fashion, you can look to see if there are any associated areas which are seeing increased demand due to this fashion. For example, as surfing becomes trendy, so does clothing associated with surfing.
