information Top Topics: AbdulBasit Makrani Spills the Beans; What's Your Outbound Sell-Through Rate?...

Spaceship Spaceship
In this week's Top Topics, an investor asks for suggestions as to what you do when you first acquire a new domain name, and we ask - does being multilingual make a difference in domaining? Elsewhere, there's a video interview with AbdulBasit Makrani, and this week's featured poll asks you to reveal your outbound sell-through rate.


What Are the First 3 Things You Do When You Get a New Name?

When you register or acquire a new domain name, what are the most important or the most pressing things to do? In this discussion, an investor is asking other domainers to list the first three things they do on a new purchase.

The most popular initial steps to take seem to include changing the nameservers, add the domain to marketplaces, and adding the name to a spreadsheet to record the purchase details. What do you do?

Does Being Multilingual Make a Difference?

Success in domain name investing could arguably be down to your ability to perceive the value of words and combinations of words, since NameBio shows many domain sales come down to this skill. The majority of this kind of domain sales are English word combinations, but would it help to be multilingual?

Would being multilingual help to acquire valuable domains in other popular languages? Could it also be an advantage when negotiating a sale either via inbound or outbound?

Poll: What's Your Outbound Sell-Through Rate?

Targeted outbound sales marketing has often been touted as a means of creating cash flow to a portfolio, rather than waiting an indeterminate amount of time for interested parties to come to you. The effectiveness of outbound domain sales varies drastically based on factors such as the quality of the domain, the industry, and the asking price.

This week's featured poll asks investors to disclose their outbound sell-through rate by voting in this discussion. As of writing, it seems like the majority of domainers who practice outbound have a very low sell-through rate.

Thanks @James Iles for the shout out on interview. Just wanted to say that it's in Hindi/Urdu language. Hope the hosts can add caption to the interview for everyone to understand.

Also as you said it's "half-hour "ask me anything" but in actual it's little more than 2 hours and is divided into 4 parts. As per now, 3 parts have been uploaded.

Thanks! :)
