It would be a sad day for the community if @Bob Hawkes left the industry. He has added a great deal of value since he joined.
If I were @NamePros, I would look to understand any actions by users that make someone like Bob even think about leaving, and then work to eliminate those actions from...
Hi Anjani,
You're not alone. We all buy domain names that we think are good for one reason or another and sometimes later find out that they have little or no value -- but we're not sure why. I'm going through and dropping domain names like this that I purchased years ago.
And it can be...
As I mentioned in this interview, I've always been into making resolutions and seeing if I had the will power to keep them. So when I finally decided to build an app, of course I had to buy the domain name first. Domains always proceed development for me.
On 2014-Jul-09, I hand registered the...
Welcome, @advill99!
Spending time watching the DomainSherpa shows -- especially the DomainSherpa Reviews with experienced investors -- is a great idea, as is reading the blogs of experienced investors.
And based on your activities so far I think you're well on your way to understanding how...
No, not the same.
I'm building a domain monitoring tool (Notify.domains) that watches specific names you want to acquire and alerts you in plain English when something changes (WHOIS, auctions, marketplaces, DNS, SSL, downtime, site information, blocklists, and more) so you can act before...
Hi all,
Apologies for the delayed reply.
I completely understand the concern about privacy and "tipping off" interest in domains. It's something I’ve thought about a lot while building this for 2 years.
To be clear: we do not share user data with anyone. Period. Even if multiple users track...
I developed a script that monitors my domains every day to detect any unauthorized additions or deletions.
The script now monitors my GoDaddy and Dynadot accounts, where I keep 99% of my domains (and definitely the valuable ones).
This proactive bot provides peace of mind to alert me first...
Hi @Arpit, good to meet you via nP! :)
@Bob, thanks for commenting about the Domaining 101 and 201 presentations that I gave at NamesCon in January 2019. Yes, the information was an abbreviated version of portions of the DNAcademy course.
"The course, as I understand it, is pretty well...
I’m going to be in Venice Beach, California for a couple of days and was thinking an impromptu domainer meetup would be fun. Want to join me?
Anyone in the LA area that wants to grab a beer with me on Sunday (3/11) between 5 and 7pm, meet me at VeniceAleHouse.com, 2 Rose Ave, Venice CA 90291...
You're very kind, thank you for your thoughtfully worded question.
The point of the competition is to show new investors what 6 seasoned investors would do with a $500 initial investment, and then highlight the different strategies, tactics, and thought processes.
So I'm definitely handling...
@Eric Lyon Thank you for all you've done at namePros. You've contributed a tremendous amount to the forum; I know you'll continue to do so in your new role. And I am relieved to hear that you're simply changing roles and not leaving.

I have no association with NameLiquidate. I'm simply testing out their system and writing up a SOP (standard operating procedure) for DNAcademy.

I always try to stay positive in work and life. Positivity is a life force. It keeps me moving forward, not looking back. Dialogue and constructive feedback is positive too.
But when you (@Recons.Com) take a private conversation and make it public, out of context and without full details, I...

I want to thank NamePros for their comment and for allowing me to clarify the situation -- from my perspective -- by reopening this thread.
Similarly, I am grateful for the contributions that NamePros makes to the community by allowing people to share their views and advice.

Great summary of your strategy and tactics! Thanks for your complete write-up on your past 2.5 years as a brandable-focused domain name investor.
I think it's especially useful for those starting out in their investing journey because brandables are the one type of domain name that newer...
