Sold a site I bought for $5 here for $2,200!

A bit of luck, but mostly a strong intuition that the site name I bought here in a domain pickup thread was a bit undervalued. Once I got the site, put together a full templated news site with images and ad placements, contact forms, the whole 9 yards. Was going to try for high hundreds...

Sold a site I bought for $5 here for $2,200!

The name was a common name, though with a .us sub-TLD, so I was going to use it as a news template. I set it up completely, including getting a facebook and twitter page, along with a gmail account. Google now requires a phone number to open a new account, and in addition they refuse new...

Showcase Your "X" Domain Name

Slightly modified, but related: Elon just announced he was changing "Tweet" to "Xeet"... so even if it was a joke, I believe I still made out with these grabs: xeet.ai, xeet.us, xeet.info, xeetai.com, xeet.ai, and xeetbot.com. Let's see what happens...

Sold a site I bought for $5 here for $2,200!

Ducoc.com is my site still. I'm trying to develop it as an art theme using artist Lucien Ducoc as the French-based artist. The one I sold for now is confidential, but it is expected to be an alternate news site for an organization that just got a white house press pass, and they are branding...

domain Renew or Drop? - COLDDROP.COM, VTALY.COM.....

Colddrop sounds like a great domain registration-themed service. Anyone else get that first impression as well? Though it is literally a weather phenomenon in Spain (wikipedia), you can probably use it for medical items, like cough drops for colds. (Maybe trademarking as well, then selling to...

advice How do you get ideas?

I listen to a lot of news. It rarely happens, but if I can catch a trendy word live and sense it's going to explode, I try to get the dot com for that trendy word. But this morning Elon Musk hinted that he would be changing "tweet" to "xeet". I know it sounds a bit awkward to pronounce, but then...

domain TekNutrition.com

I would be careful about brand infringement with Tech Nutrition, which is an established company (at technutrition.net). (TechNutrition.com is being squatted). Unless you have a robust marketing plan and can get away from brand infringement legalities, I don't think it's worth much over reg...

Someone is selling my domain

The COMPLETE SCOOP on WebName Solutions. WebName Solutions scans every domain that is on PENDING DELETE status, in particular the dot coms. After they do that, they scan the WHOIS registry for any active usage of the same domain name in either .NET or .ORG. If there is a match with one or...

domain Job Related Domain

good name in my opinion. I follow politics closely so this is a hot button item. Currently, the other names are parked. But you may wish to approach congressional candidates, particularly conservatives who favor job growth, and have definite plans. I think it's worth at least in the hundreds...

news Elon Musk Announces X.AI

And I snagged XEET.ai, as well as a few others like xeet.info, .us, and .dev . So even if Elon was joking when he said he was going to change "tweet" to "xeet", at least the joke itself will drive the traffic for awhile.

I'd get a domain broker myself. Probably won't get a million but six figures is likely.

priced Small lot of names including oneword .com and LLL.us

That's all three for $12.50? If so, I'll take them; if you mean 25 (12.50) apiece, then no.

domain ConanTBS (.)com

Also, keep in mind that "conan" and "tbs", taken together, may constitute a valid trademark infringement in the future. Not saying that they will do anything about it, but lately there has been a crackdown on such postings. How you use the site is another thing. You can blog to it, load it...
