A few months ago I acquired on the aftermarket the domain name 'Go.LA', a fantastic purchase with outright potential, but as it turns out just too much potential. I now am sitting on a domain name that following months of research is proving just too big of a project for me to handle.
I guess it was stupid of me to treat such a potentially huge 'geo domain' as just some normal geo domain. Almost immediately upon starting the research to build the site the size of the project expanded daily as new spheres of development would hurl themselves forward. Of course initially I was thinking along the lines of Tourism, Real Estate, Social site, market place, news site, sports site, an 'Olympics' site for 2028, road traffic site, and the list just expanded more and more.
In the end I had to admit that not knowing LA made any planned development by me impossible, anything I attempted to do would always be sub-prime at best. Obviously I will not let the domain drop but I will now just hold it until someone in the years ahead comes along who can do the domain justice - something I obviously cannot do.
Having a domain with literally huge potential can be a real headache.
(And before anyone asks although my investment was not an insubstantial amount, at least it was not a six figure sum. Thankfully! LOL)
