opinion Why I Develop Every Domain Name Investment

I am in the Development Business myself. Perhaps almost 85% of my revenue, comes from development. And i own close to 3,000 domains now. Of course not all of them are developed. Many of them are just stockpiled in my freezer bay. Nearly all of them are COM extensions. Only a few NET and ORG...

All domains are useless so there should be no appraisal for domains

Domains are not useless. Because you need a domain to resolve your website IP address, so people can easily find you. Unfortunately, domain names in specific extensions are just one, and only one, in this planet. Once you got it, no one else can own a copy of it. So if more than one 1...

What has happened to domaining?

1) I think the Recession/Economic Downturn is forcing Domainers to jack-up their price tags. Imagine a few $x,xxx sales could pay for your 3-6 months worth of food and utility bills. The problem is, buyers have become cheapos for the same reason related to Recession/Economic Downturn. So you...

All black Friday and cybermonday deals here.

How about someone creating a thread specific to Black Friday/CyberMonday deals FOR .COM ONLY ? This way, we can skip scanning the huge discount promos on the trashy extensions, and go straight to the .COMs. (Ok, NET & ORG will do as well)

Domain Name Advice Needed (Experts Only)

I have built a perimeter fence around several of my brands myself. As mentioned by others, this is to protect against both squatters, sitters, and legit competitors who want to use the same brand name. Although .COM is king, i have a couple of competitors who genuinely rooted their own business...

discuss "What should the industry norm be for splitting escrow transactions?"

Yes, it is crazy to be haggling and arguing about escrow fees, when your ROi is 3,000% :laugh: Your goal should be to get the transaction done as fast as possible. All this accounting stuffs, are just delaying the money going to your wallet. So pay the fees and get it over with.

Awesome Domain names at "YOURBRAND"

This is the emerging trend among Domainers nowadays. Put your domain names in some exotic Photoshop fonts. Add some logos. Then run a listing site where your commission fees will help pay for the renewal cost of the domains you cannot sell. I think there was another guy last December who was...

How do you deal with low ball offers?

That's where the real issue comes in. Because domainers have various interpretations to the term: "if the name is good". Most of the time, the elite cream of the crop who owns the diamonds, will have a very easy, relaxing time to say 'no' to an offer. But as you can see in the forums...

Am I in trouble?

I think it is much better to encourage people to fight for their rights, instead of surrendering at the slightest threat. If you always take the path of least resistance, you will get bullied all your life. And you won't have any motivation to educate yourself about the accusation being...

Emails from domainers selling crap names

I am more surprised that people expect Domainers to be a special kind of salesmen, who are supposed to be more legit than your average pesky telemarketer who keeps calling you on your phone peddling just about anything from vacuum cleaners, to George Foreman barbeque grills. I would expect...

A goodbye post.

This is the first time i read this thread. Interesting to learn that Shane is jumping into the same fence where i am - "branding" business. I've never been a domainer myself, eventhough i own a boatload of domains. It gives me a better feeling, that humans will pay you for what you create...

Do you guys get this spam e-mail about an offer to buy your domain name?

All noobies must go through these kind of emails as a passage rite. There are no exceptions. If you haven't received one just yet, it means your regged domains are so bad, that even the bots are avoiding you like the plague. That means your future in domaining, is close to zero.

question ARE DROPPED DOMAIN NAMES WORTHY?

Yes, dropped domains are worthy, since NameBright seems to be scooping every domain that i have dropped for some time, and then plastering an asking price of $3,250 on each one of them.

End user ask me some questions about domain..what to answes

I think it is only in Domaning, where you can sell something you don't know how much you want to sell it. Seller: "Hey buddy, wanna buy my stuff? They are nice." Buyer: "Okay. How much is it?" Seller: "Well, i dunno. I have no idea. What do you think?" Buyer: "I'll pay you a dollar."...

Best Domain Sales Strategy in 2013!

When you talk about "strategy", you first need to segregate individual circumstances. A domainer who has no other source of income, and who is totally dependent on domain sales to survive, will have to come up with some ingenius draconian strategy that may not be applicable to others. A lot of...
