Wanted The Laziest Way to Monetize Any Domain

Timothy Carambat · May 7, 2020

Hey everyone,

We all know about parking and the profitability that comes with that solution. I am here to offer a new revenue stream for domainers that you will only find with DynaDomains.

What DynaDomains does is allows your single domain to be leased the hundreds of people, but all at the same time. Crazy right? You make a nice ~70% commission on each lease paid out monthly. All the magic is hidden behind the scenes because all you need to do is set up a 301 redirect. That's all.

You could onboard your first domain in 5 minutes to try us out - I promise its totally painless.
1. Create an account
2. Onboard your domain and accept a suitable commission and rate for your domain
3. Setup the redirect to our routing engine
Now you're live!

With DynaDomains we handle everything and as a domainer - I know how important inbound leads are - that is why we will redirect all non-leased requests to your generic domain sale page or we show an autogenerated page for potential buyers to inquire on.

What's it cost?
As a domainer - absolutely nothing. This literally just becomes another potential revenue stream while you manage inbound leads as you were before.

How do I make money?
When you onboard a domain (or 100) you will determine the rate and commission you wish to be paid with, typically 65 to 75%.

Once your domain is live businesses and marketers can now lease your domain over their own geographic area they get to define. The lessee pays per square mile. Whatever the lessee pays per month you get a huge cut of that. We payout our domain partners monthly.

We also pre-validate these lessees so your domain is not associated with a malicious or illegal website - any grey area and we will ask you first.

What if I hate you?
Kind of aggressive. If you don't like us or you sell the domain - just remove the domain from your domain dashboard and remove the redirect from wherever you manage the domain. You can also just remove the redirect and we will find out that way also but that is really unprofessional - don't ya think?

Okay, but why should I care?
Well, we are the only service on the entire internet that is going to let you do this kind of monetization with this amount of flexibility and freedom. If you don't like our suggested rates you can request a custom quote and I can assure you we can find some pretty number to settle on.

But, if you need another reason besides new easy money...
If you onboard a domain at all and email us just saying you came from NamePros we will bump up your commission to 80% (obviously only for a limited time).
NOTE: The 80% commission for NamePros members will stop June 13th 2020 @ 5PM PST!

Closing Statements.
That's all - I'm done shilling myself now. I hope to hear back from some fellow domainers. I began this whole startup because I think we can all agree parking just doesn't bring in revenue like it needs to - sure a few dollars here and that is great, but unless you have some golden premium domain with high traffic you are hardly making much.

DynaDomains allows us to monetize any unused domains that we have in a way we never could before without interrupting what we are already doing to squeeze every dollar out until the final sale.

Thanks.
-Tim

@NickB - The leasing does work globally, but our focus is the US/EU area currently. If/When you sell the domain we have an off-boarding process that won't conflict with the sale or the customer's lease. Currently when a user clicks Buy we just get them in touch with you at first on our platform. If a sale occurs we don't take a commission.

@Rhinnnn - You actually don't need to refund anything and we would handle that. If/When that event occurs we handle it in a way to where everyone is happy. We are very clear with our buyers on the risks/rewards of using DynaDomains so we can always avoid this conflict.

@nononsense123 - It is not hard an fast. if a domain does expire and stops resolving properly we would know. It more is a rule of thumb!

This looks like a great idea.

It reminds me of Traffic Avenue that was going "well" back about 19 years ago. It seemed to be working pretty well until it wasn't.

I had several domains that should have paid out really well but I don't reminder ever getting paid which I think is what caused it to fail - very sad

I'm in no way suggesting your site will do the same at all, I was just reminded of the other site while reading this thread.

Also, I may have some great domains to add to try this out so I signed up. I may also have some domains for you to consider if you want to rebrand.

Robbie · May 11, 2020

Congrats on the new venture, It sounds interesting and something I would be happy to discuss more over at our blog so you can tell everyone about it and how it works - One question from me though is - How will Google be able to distinguish between the different website and understand how to rank it?

namemarket · May 11, 2020

A question is I am not clear on how you find buyers to lease the domain and what's the benefit for them especially assuming the leased name has low or no local geo traffic?

A reason I ask is from my leasing opportunities available I had just one person who actually leased from me, in fact no one else has ever inquired about it even though I have been marketing it for a long time.

Timothy Carambat · May 11, 2020

@namemarket
We find buyers for leases through traditional marketing like you would expect. We also have partnerships with some agencies that can be leveraged. That all, of course, depends on if the domain the end user needs is available.

Soon, leasing will not be the only way to earn on DynaDomains, but it will be the primary one. When it comes to leasing we offer rates that cannot be found elsewhere because we allow leases to be active only over custom-defined geography. We also support being able to lease a single domain to multiple people at the same time. Otherwise, they would normally have to lease outright or purchase for use of the domain. We offer a lot of flexibility in this space that makes leasing more palatable.

Looks like a great opportunity. Just signed up to get it a try!

Cheers.

@Bob Hawkes Thank you for that. You are correct and I am trying to target higher-end but perfect for leasing domains but have not gotten much response from them as of yet. If anything the response has been somewhat hostile for some reason.

As for VPN that problem is very real and is a concern. The caveat of that is that a considerable amount of traffic online is mobile and mobile users are very unlikely to use a VPN. They can, but they are not the majority of use cases.

Desktops, of course, do often use VPNs and there would be no circumvention around that as it sits currently. When marketing to the buyers I am upfront though about the limitations of the technology so I do not mislead them on what DynaDomains can and cannot do.

Thanks again.

Why not make the visitors select the region they are interested instead of geo forwarding them automatically? Tell them that the content differs according to region.

When a region is booked a subject matter can be given for that region. Then the users choose subject matter.

Can be a dynamic select box based upon the available regions for any given domain name.

Hey Timothy,
This is an intriguing business model.
Best of luck in this endeavor!

namemarket · May 12, 2020

I spent a long time on the website and could not really figure out how it all worked from viewpoint of both a buyer and seller. Lots of questions with little if any clarity or explanation.

It is quite confusing to me plus some website functions or links do not appear to work. At this time I have given up trying to figure it out.

Same here.
Spent quite some time yesterday writing a rather long email asking questions. Currently waiting for an answer.

Timothy Carambat · May 12, 2020

@Hypersot I have not received an email from you to my direct email nor on namepros? You can DM me on here if there is something going on with emails not arriving. If you could forward them to me that would be great.
[email protected]

@namemarket I am not sure what you're referring to. I attempted to answer your previous question and i hoped that would have helped. Nothing on the website is reportedly unresponsive or broken so if you could alert me to what exactly you came across I would be glad to know so I could address it properly.

To reiterate, we don't just do one to one leasing like you are familiar with. We facilitate one to many leasing because we are able to lease a single domain to multiple people over distinct geography.

For example, a bakery in Chicago could lease greatbakedgoods.com in the Chicago metro area that leads to their original website (upperloopbakery.com) while another bakery in Los Angeles could lease the same domain at the same time in LA County to redirect to their site (johnsbeachsidebakery.com).

In that example, one domain can now lead to two distinctly different websites totally seamlessly depending on where the user is when they visit the domain greatbakedgoods.com.

As a seller, you can now earn money from receiving payment from one or more leases as opposed to just one.

As a buyer, you can now access domains that were previously commanding high lease prices with fixed terms to lower-priced leases and more flexible terms. We support all of this by the domain just having a redirect set up to our service.

You would get a commission of each geo lease on any domain you own. That is how you make income with DynaDomains.

Let me know if that helps you understand what DynaDomains does. If there is some "ah-ha!" text that would help others better understand the concept let me know so i can incorporate it.

Timothy Carambat · May 12, 2020

@jamesall While i do see your point, bringing users to a new page and requiring them to engage on an intermediate page is likely to cause them to drop off - which would result in the diminishing of the value proposition on the buyer side.

So while I do see the point. In practice, DynaDomains is supposed to be as though it isn't even there - being a total passthrough service to where the user needs to wind up.

Hypersot · May 12, 2020

Regarding some things not working on-site,
here is what I get when I click your FAQ button at the bottom of the main page:

fyi. I just re-sent the email to the address you provided

Timothy Carambat · May 12, 2020

Interesting! I ran a CloudFront invalidation on the site so all edge locations should be synced...

It was supposed to go to https://blog.dynadomains.co/faq/ and it does in my browser and incognito. Always more to do. Thank you! @Hypersot

Redirects, how will that help with SERP and sells? It's stupid!
Brand franchising with emphasis on the domain name would have and will work better.

@Rob Monster I hope you pursue this opportunity!

P.S. Timothy, those bakeries have the money to buy a 3000-4000 bucks domain.
6 and 7 figure domain names ......

UncleBrand · May 12, 2020

can you explain why you start such an ambitious project on a .co domain
and a hard to read domain name who fail the radio test

domainers will think less of your credibility just for that poor choice

dgmweb · May 12, 2020

Just signed up and going to give this a try.

Totally disagree.

if we are talking about domainers, we don't need anyone to sell us 'cosmetics' on a domain. Anyone that is interested in the service they are going to create an account, test it out and then use it..or not.

I would have used the service even if it was on a totally exotic extension with a domain all consonants and dashes if the service worked for me.

namemarket · May 13, 2020

Look to the top left corner (highlighted blue) and you will see a drop down that has a few example domains available for you to choose.

re above, Did not see a drop-down and did not see or able to chose any domain

maybe i am missing something?

Timothy Carambat · May 13, 2020

@namemarket

Are you referring to the demo? I would reckon this is a technical issue. I am using Chrome. Can I ask what you are using? That whole demo relies heavily on Javascript so if you have any restrictions in your browser issues will arise.

I tested the demo on Chrome (Mac/Windows) and Safari and it works. To be honest, the demo will likely be going away soon which is why I made the Youtube video that walks through it.

Video:

I am sorry you're having a bad experience using the demo. The video really does exactly what the demo offers. Hopefully, this may help some more!

namemarket · May 13, 2020

yes the demo. used Chrome.

King · May 13, 2020

Interesting concept but as an end-user, I would never consider this especially if you want to be global.

What if one person grows & wants to buy the domain but other users refuse, they lose access to the domain forcefully?

Also, I would at least moderate the listings as I am already seeing some domains I wouldn't even pay reg fee being offered more than that a month.

dtagr · May 31, 2020

I sent you a .com and 2 .ca's - one is a category killer and the other has 89% CTR.
We'll see what you can do with them.
