Practically Assessing the Value of SEO and ccTLD Domains with Kalin Karakehayov
Written by: Alvin Brown

There are nearly 4.75 billion people connected via the Internet worldwide. That’s nearly 60 percent of the world’s population.

Once limited to the physical location where we reside, the Internet has vastly opened the door for everyone to connect with one another around the globe with a few simple keystrokes.

The Internet, especially search engines, has forever changed the way we live and do business. In fact, most of us now Google, Bing, or Baidu our way through daily living. But have you heard of The Bulgarian Search Engine?

Exploring and De-risking ccTLD investing with Morgan Linton and Nikul Sanghvi

Exploring and De-risking ccTLD investing with Morgan Linton and Nikul Sanghvi
Written by: Alvin Brown

The first digital land rush — .com, .net, and .org to name a few — happened a couple of decades ago, and minted quite a few millionaires along the way.

Not quite a decade ago, the second digital land rush — new TLDs — had high hopes minting even more millionaires. Actually, the inverse has happened.  More folks lost their money than actually made a dime worth talking about.

But between these two milestone events, an entire domain market segment and economy is thriving, getting bigger as the days, months, and years pass: country code top-level domains (ccTLDs).

Hitting the Jackpot Buying and Selling .IO Domains with Bar Franek
Written by: Alvin Brown

It’s one thing to negotiate and sell a domain name for cash, yet something different altogether negotiate, sell, and transact using bitcoin.

And the most interesting thing about this jackpot-of-a-domain-sale is that it was an .IO domain. Let that sink in.

The Hidden World of Drop Catching, Appraising ccTLDs, .IO Popularity and more with Steve Webb
Written by: Alvin Brown

A person’s entry into the vast wilderness of domain investing likely passes the through the gate of mostly hearing, seeing, and investing in .com, .net, and .org.

While an unknown percentage of domain investors have packed their bags and headed even further west in hopes of striking profitable domain glory with the supposed second-coming of the domain land grab of new top-level domain extensions (new TLDs), quite a few stayed behind and settled into what has become a nice source of revenue: investing in country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs).

From the decades of Ron Jackson’s success with .us to Raymond Hackney pioneering .tv sales, a growing number of young upstarts are making a way for themselves buying and selling a variety of ccTLD domains.

How CEO Kristen Anderson Caught the Vision for Catch.co
Written by: Alvin Brown

When we remember 2020, the world will certainly not forget the one thing that scoured and traveled to the ends of the earth: COVID-19.

It has voraciously snuffed out hundreds of thousands of lives and counting — young, old, and everyone in between.

Now into the tens of millions and counting, COVID-19, also known as the novel coronavirus, has ravaged the lives of many now finding themselves jobless, all sources of income and savings barren.

To add injury to insult, life and disability insurance, retirement, and health benefits have all evaporated for some into the land of furlough and others in the the land of never returning.

But for all that find themselves having to pull up on the ol’ boot straps, today’s podcast guest and the company she leads just might be the break you’re so desperately needing to catch.

Live with Morgan Linton at NamesCon 2020 in Austin, Texas
Written by: Alvin Brown

“As a domain investor, should I invest in attending NamesCon Global?”

For a large percentage of domain investors, especially hobbyist and part- time domain investors, attending NamesCon can be quite the investment in time and money.

After all, NamesCon is truly a 7-day investment in terms of time, including travel, conference, and recoup days, and travel expenses — air travel or driving cost, hotel lodging, meals, and outings.

While NamesCon can be an expensive endeavor, it can also pay for itself and some, seeing you meet the right people while there, like meeting Morgan Linton — long-time Domain Investor, Angel Investor and Co-founder of Bold Metrics, a SaaS solution that is changing the way the world’s most innovative brands make clothes..

I recently sat down with Morgan Linton while at NamesCon Global 2020 in Austin, Texas to discuss the following:
