interviews My 2023 meeting with Swetha Yenugula

Hi Everyone, I decided to write in detail about my 2023 meeting with Swetha (@DNGear) though its been almost 2 years because of the recent upheaval on X immediately following her DomainNameGear account being banned - probably because of being reported by her haters. No one on earth will be able...

opinion Proof that Hand Reg is NOT dead!

Hi y'all, Here's some solid proof that hand registration is not dead! Background: I write a lot of poetry and yesterday another poet appreciated my post on Instagram... I noticed both of us write a lot of 2 liners... So today morning I had an idea about separating my 2 liners to another site...

interviews My 2023 meeting with Swetha Yenugula

Your question has a jealous, racist and sexist undertone but I will still answer. As far as I know she is from a wealthy family and she made many many sales - almost 700 as per her content in my book. What more does she need to show as proof when NameBio, DAN and Afternic have all confirmed her...

Jack Domainer VS common sense. A tale about .xyz sales

Thank you @alienbaba and others for this great thread and research - I agree, much of it is so easy to find, it was more likely done out of jealousy and for eyeballs and to spew hate because it brought the addictive attention desired (especially from big names). He even maligned me with a lot of...

Why should I check out your history? No one has time for all this and nor are anonymous people here interesting to me in the least. Your question was loaded, insensitive and disrespectful. First get that. She is not some new domainer who has to prove herself. All pertinent questions that should...

opinion Proof that Hand Reg is NOT dead!

Yep agreed. But I was not really pin pointing brandables... That's a given that most of those will be hand regs and creativity and innovation go hand in hand with that sector. The hand regs I meant to highlight are the exact match .COMs that many assume should have been taken. Newcomers fret...

opinion I quit domaining

If everything was about gains then the world is no place for good genuine people and probably there wouldn't be great forums like this or so much of free resources :) I feel a USD 100 profit is good technically but you probably got frustrated along the way. To stem the frustration and if you...

Longtime Domainer New to NamePros

Hi Colin. Welcome and good luck. Selling here is tougher IMHO as mostly only resellers buy here. Have you tried Sedo and Afternic/GoDaddy? Existing sites with income go well on Flippa I think.

interviews My 2023 meeting with Swetha Yenugula

Thank you for saying it. I guess truth either silences or makes people turn away bored that there is no drama or things to say to sound clever?? Gone are the days where doing good or going out your way to do something for someone else is celebrated. In my personal experience I don't see a...

Atom / Atom.com - Marketplace (formerly Squadhelp)

I feel the blame lies on all three parties, the Buyer (for not knowing the difference between a $30M and $30K domain, and for not reading the description), the Seller (for not insisting on a logo with a clear zero - 0 with the slash - and without the 1) and on SquadHelp (for the misleading logo...
