domain investing

It’s been 2 years since I last attended NamesCon out in Las Vegas at the Tropicana. Fast forward two years, and tick tock goes the clock as we count the weeks, days, and hours until NamesCon 2020 arrives here in my backyard, the growing metropolis of Austin, Texas. There is a bit of everything...

When you search your portfolio do you find personal projects, “protective registrations” of some of your favorites in other TLD’s, and names you tell yourself you can always develop. Lastly, do you see a name and its future “if” you could build it out, and end up buying a domain name with only...

The domain industry can be quite an insular experience, especially if you don’t connect with others, attend meetups and conferences, or participate in online forums and blogs. Then, the complexities of domain buying, selling, leasing, and development increase exponentially when adding in...

It’s hard to believe that another year has come and gone, and with it, a decade too. The sky is the limit in 2020, and the future is quite bright for all aspects and persons in the domain industry. I finished 5 out of 9 (56% accuracy) for 2019 domain predictions. In the last couple of days of...

It’s that time of the year to look back to see how those lofty predictions actually turned out. For 2019, I made 9 predictions pertaining to domain sales, new domain extensions, bloggers, conferences, and the overall economics of the domain industry in general. I’m hoping to greatly improve...

When I tally my final results in the next week, this year will likely rank at the top end of the middle of my annual results since 2006. My guess is it will be a top 5-6 year for my business out of the last 13 years. Not extraordinary, but not too bad either...Read More

Does anyone know how I can get into serious domain investing? I'm talking like the higher end domains? How would I acquire them and sell them? Does anyone have a good place or point me in the right direction? Any tips or advice will be appreciated Thanks
