Earlier this week, the sale of Sumo.com for $1.5 million was unveiled. The domain name's value itself has been discussed at length, but what hasn't been noted is the fact that the $1.5 million sale has given SumoMe a great domain in Sumo.com as well as an incredible amount of publicity from a number of popular websites. That's positive publicity that's very difficult to buy.
Here's this week's Top Topics.
My First Sale: $1,000 Within a Week!
Having recently started investing in domain names, @UmerK registered the domain name with the keywords "Mobile Insurance Agency", which he has now sold in his first ever domain sale.
The new investor does an excellent job of giving sales tips to fellow newbies from what he has learned following his first sale. It's a discussion that is well worth reading for advice and motivation.

New GoDaddy Two Factor Authentication Tools
NamePros regular and GoDaddy aftermarket product manager @Joe Styler, has announced that GoDaddy has now introduced new two factor authentication (2FA) tools to help keep your GoDaddy account more secure. The tools enable you to use 2FA for your whole account, or just high risk transactions. Google Authenticator is also available for the first time at GoDaddy.
If you do have domain names at GoDaddy, it may be a good idea to spend a minute of your day setting up 2FA to keep your names more secure.

I Sold Three Domains in Ten Days!
Here's a little more motivation for those looking for it. Domain investor @jamaltq has just shared the news of three domain name sales that he has completed within the last ten days. The domain sales totalled $365 for a five-letter .COM, a one-word .MOBI and a two-word .US domain.

Has Anyone Bought a Domain Name Simply Because it Humoured You?
We buy domain names for many reasons. It could be as an investment, for business or as a personal project. However, it seems plenty of domainers have bought domains just because they found the names humorous.
Sometimes those names can turn out to be good investments too, but more often than not, investors seem to acquire them just for the novelty value. Have you ever done this?
