Saved Search Tips and Tricks for Domain Auction Aftermarket

September 14, 2018 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

If you’re new to the domain investing (even if you’re not), then you likely encounter a how cumbersome of a task it is to identify undervalued domains.

From NameJet to GoDaddy to Dynadot to SnapNames along with many more domain auction aftermarket platforms, identifying and narrowing in on undervalued domains — whether expired, public, private, or closeout — is a full time job in itself.

Thousands of domains expire in auction daily (as a subset of data is shown via DomainState.com chart below), and an unidentified number of those domains go on to be caught, or deleted and made available for hand registration (small percentage, but still happens).

5 Reasons Domain Investors Should Attend MERGE!

August 23, 2018 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

It’s now weeks before the 2nd Annual MERGE! Conference — a digital asset conference event gathering a number of different conferences under a single roof and with a common access pass.

As a new conference bursting onto the domain conference scene in its inaugural debut last year, I wasn’t sure what to expect although I had attended insightful events, DNHouston and DNSeattle, leading up to it.

Little did I realize, MERGE! was perfect “next” event and stepping stone to have attended. I encourage all to consider attending MERGE! this year — especially domain investors — based on the following 5 reasons:

Is New gTLD Financing a Match Made in Heaven?

May 17, 2018 1 Comment
Written by: Alvin Brown

Of course, financing domain names is nothing new under the sun. Domain leasing and financing certainly happens each and every week, if not on a daily basis.

It’s not news to read about a person or company leveraging varying financing options to hopefully stake their claim to highly-valued virtual real estate.

The question I pose is whether or not financing of new gTLDs is likely the chasm that separates registries that fail and flop versus those that wildly succeed.

How to Convert Emoji Unicode to Punycode for Emoji Domains.

April 20, 2018 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

Today’s tutorial is likely to be well received after .WS made emoji domains available for the newly released Unicode Emoji v11 earlier this month.

If you were one of the few emoji domain investors to stake claim to a newly released emoji as an emoji domain name, then consider yourself fortunate. 🤩

If you didn’t move quickly enough or didn’t know how to convert Unicode to Punycode, then you’ll want to pay close attention and keep reading. 🧐

You’re likely wondering how did folks register emoji domains using Unicode version 11 Emoji when they’ve not yet been released to devices, right? 🤔

I’ll answer this question by sharing with you two ways to convert Unicode to Punycode. This should allow you to hopefully get and keep a step ahead in the emoji domain game as new Unicode Emoji versions are released.

Two Important Questions to Ask When Buying Domains.

March 30, 2018 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

Most likely, everyone investing in domains has hope and dreams of realizing substantial ROI for their domain portfolio.

And if you don’t, then you might need to consider your motive for domain investing in the first place. 🙂

I’m not going to tell you that you can or can’t make a reasonable amount of money buying and selling domains.

The truth is, domain investors can make money, lose money or do a combination of both, hopefully, more of the former and less of the latter. 😉
