Domaining in 2021 is shaping up to be a stellar year, in comparison to 2020, as we approach the halfway mark.

Per Rick Schwartz, in 2020, there was $5.27M in domain sales reported on the top 10 list. Only 5 months into 2021, and there is $11.12MM in reported sales.

If you’re a lawyer or attorney in Texas, or if you know one, then today is your or their lucky day — as far as domain names are concerned.

The State Bar of Texas has long held firm on its belief in the law that all attorneys and lawyers should use their surname(s) as their legal entities’ names.

Texas is one of the last states that bar law firms from using trade names — New York and New Jersey revised their professional conduct rules in the last 12 months.

Now you’re likely wondering, Alvin, “what does Texas approving a change allowing law firms to use trade names have to do with domain names and domain investing?”

“It’s another day, another dime, another dollar, another day here in domaining paradise…”

The domain industry is quite small when compared to most industry and market segments. It’s mostly been a male-dominated industry, lacking ethnic and gender diversity.

However, the industry is growing, reaching and connecting with new audiences that look, live, and think differently than the status quo western-centric domain investor.

In fact, a number of domain investors are popping up around the globe, making not only a name for themselves but transfiguring their lives as they master buying and selling domain names to create generational wealth.

But with everything in life, buying and selling domain names is full of ups, downs, twists, turns, and everything in between. You win some. You lose some. And then, there are those that are simply a draw.

We rarely hear about these types of stories, if ever, but this is not the case for today’s podcast.
