Brand Domains
Below is a hand-picked list of quick pick domains that have NO BIDS. That’s right, NO BIDS!
I personally think there are a few sleepers on the list worth NOT BIDDING on, and allowing to enter into buy-it-now closeout status.
Attempting to allow domains with no bids to close in auction can be a bit risky. Once domains enter buy-it-now closeout status is also risky too.
I love getting steals at the final $5 price (really $13 after renewing it for a year), but be wise and don’t lose out on a good domain in an attempt to wait it out.
As always do your homework and research each domain before you commit to bidding and buying. Continue reading
DNSeattle was everything it was billed to be and more.
The weather was perfect. The location and venue were great. There was a good selection of music, food, and beverage on hand.
And of course, there was not a shortage of domain hobbyists, investors, and professionals in attendance at Amazon’s campus (Terry Avenue) in downtown Seattle.
This time last week I was in route to League City, Texas with much anticipation for a bit of shop talk, and engaging new relationships at the DNHouston Meetup.
And what a time we had aboard a HoustonPartyBoats.com barge sharing with one another as well as hearing some insight thoughts about search marketing and domain industries. Continue reading
It has been said that a “picture is worth a thousands words”.
You don’t have to look to far these days to guarantee that statement.
And from the looks of it, it appears that we as a society are moving more and more towards pictures telling the stories of our lives.
Or maybe we’re coming full circle with the use of modernized pictures from our primitive years.
Nevertheless, we’re not talking about just any ole’ pictures. We’re talking about EMOJIS! Emojis can do now wrong and are on at this very moment, being used by all walks of life.
They’re the 💣, and have hit the 🎰 for sure this year!
Don’t believe me? Just ask Forbes… Continue reading
You’re likely a bit perplexed by the title, right?
No worries, because you’re not the only one perplexed by finding out that emoji domain names are a reality. 😮
Yes, the silly 😄, 😂, 😜 and other icons, also known as emojis, you send via text, email and across social networks daily.
They are even included in Google search results! Yes, Google has fallen in ❤️❤️❤️ with emojis, and started having mixed emoji results.
Per Fortune, even GoDaddy is getting in on the act to win over millennials with an emoji search engine for available emoji domains (more on this in a minute).
And if that’s not enough, emojis are set to hit the big screen August 2017 🎥. Continue reading
I often field emails and phone calls from persons wanting to break into the vast world of domain investing.
Some think it’s a business where they’ll be the ones to purchase a domain on Monday for pennies on the dollar and then flip it for thousands or millions by Friday.
I call this person the simpleton domain loser. Yes, I was once this person.
Without adequate understanding and comprehension of the various domain niches, they think it is just as simple as hand registering domains or bidding up expired domain auctions.
If you want to lose money quickly, then domain investing is one of many ways to lose your job, shirt, house, and car.
Domain investing is a precise game of patience and thorough understanding of supply and demand economics.
So, where did I go wrong? Continue reading
Over the last few weeks, Rick Schwartz has fallen beyond head over heels in love with Twitter.
While his blog has long been silent without new posts, there is no commentary shortage via his @DomainKing Twitter account.
Of course, I follow Rick’s antics, thoughts, spats and other rare dispositions as they relate to business and domaining. The following tweet captured my attention and spawned this very post.
As I delve into the commentary of replies and rebuttals from Rick’s statement, I came across an intriguing back-and-forth between Rick and Elliot Silver (@DInvesting / DomainInvesting.com).
@DomainKing @thedomains In the last 10 years, how many times have you bought a $2,500 domain name and turned down or sold for $100k+ cash?
— Elliot Silver (@DInvesting) March 27, 2017
Elliot’s question got me thinking about what it would be like to have no domain investing experience and start from ground zero today.
After all, all the good domains are taken, right? I mean, is it really possible to purchase domains at hand-registration fee or up to $2,500, and sell the domains for $100K+?
The short answers are “No” and “Yes” respectively.
It is very possible to purchase domains at hand-registration fee or up to $2,500 TODAY, and sell the domains for $100K+ DECADES later.
But how, and how can you make such a claim? Well, that’s what we’re here to debate. Continue reading
