Going Above and Beyond in Domain Portfolio Management — Jebidiah Burnett

January 24, 2022 No Comments
Going Above and Beyond in Domain Portfolio Management — Jebidiah Burnett
Written by: Alvin Brown

Optimal, profitable management is the key to almost any and everything thriving and growing with abundant life.

Such a statement is quite critical to the domain industry, specifically critical for domain investors with sprawling domain portfolios.

If only the rule of thumb were that profitability and a domain portfolio’s sprawl were in direct relationship with one another, then life would be a dream. But the reality is that not all domains and domain portfolios are equal.

With a myriad of strategies to assemble new or purchase existing domain portfolios, one of the most critical considerations to be made before one begins is a bonafide method to manage one’s way into sustained profitability.

Is Clubhouse the next live domain auction disruptor?

February 3, 2021 3 Comments
Clubhouse - LIVE domain auction disruption.
Written by: Alvin Brown

At approximately 4:05 pm Tuesday afternoon, Hal Yaffe created an impromptu Clubhouse room: LIVE Domain sales action. Let’s make a deal now! 1,200 .coms.

Hal had one goal in sight: to see if anyone would join the room. He sat in this room in complete silence for 5 minutes before anyone joined.

It was wasn’t long before people began trickling into the room to talk domains. As talks progressed amongst clubbers, a few domains were swapped and then sold.

And in the blink of an eye, the room filled with veterans and newcomers stepping up to the stage in hopes of buying and selling .com domains, averaging 80-90 persons in the room and nearly 700 passing through the room over a six hour time period.

A Watershed Moment for Domain Industry: NamesCon Online 2020?

October 1, 2020 1 Comment
Could the future of NamesCon be a hybrid conference model?
Written by: Alvin Brown

“An all virtual conference or event will never work.”

“People meeting online only for a conference is simply a waste of time, and the most outlandish idea I’ve ever heard of or thought about.”

“Why would I ever attend an online-only conference?”

Let’s be real with one another or, at least, ourselves for a moment. How many of us likely thought and said those very words, if not something similar, prior to COVID-19?

Little did I, you, or anyone else realize that NamesCon Global 2020: Economic Domain Forum could likely be the last physical domain investing conference anyone in the industry would attend, and for a long while.

Upping the ante, none of us certainly thought or ever imagined a completely virtual domain conference some eight to nine months later that would forever transform the landscape of the conference experience.

As Harold Arlen penned, “Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.” And so it goes with the industry’s leading domain conference, we’re in uncharted waters in terms of what is next for the conference experience, especially NamesCon.

So many questions to answer as the future fast approaches.  Will the conference experience go back to being in-person only?

Page Howe and Team Make Virtual Splash with TheDomainShow.com

The Domain Show 2020 Recap
Written by: Alvin Brown

The domain industry chartered into new and virtual territory with the debuting of the first ever digital investors online conference sponsored by Dan.com: TheDomainShow.com.

It’s Founder and Executive Producer, Page Howe, is no stranger to the industry, investing in domains for 20+ years, having sold 5,000+ domains (most notably sold Seniors.com for $1.8M), and once known for his domain tip sheets, emoji domain investing, and occasional DomainSherpa appearances through the years.

As all eyes were on Page and team, industry professionals eagerly awaited and anticipated what the shift would be like from a paid in-person to a free virtual conference experience spanning three days, July 23-25.

There were many questions to be answered from the time it was announced in early April:

  • What would be the format of the show?
  • Who and want would be presented?
  • Would sessions be live, pre-recorded, or both?
  • How would the show address time zone challenges?
  • and many more…

Written by: Alvin Brown

Time flies when you’re having fun, making friends, learning new thoughts, and the list goes on.

It’s hard to believe that NamesCon Global was just kicking off about this time last week.

So many connections made, both new and old. A plethora of content presented across three days — Day one, Day two, and Day three. Too many meetings, dining dates, and parties to capture.

It was only fitting to close out NamesCon Global with a Fun Day at Banger’s Sausage House & Beer Garden.
