Atom's WLM (White Label Marketplace) Thread.

[ivey]

If you're a fan of Atom's (formerly Squadhelp) White Label Marketplace (WLM), this thread is for you—long overdue, in my opinion. I often find myself searching for other investors who use Atom's WLM, just to get insights on how sales are going and what strategies work best. Such as- should you only showcase your own portfolio or include Atom's entire inventory? And here's a big one—are people actually getting that 10% payout? Is it being tracked fairly?

The frustrating part is finding answers, I have to sift through tons of posts in Atom's official thread when it would make way more sense to have all things WLM in one dedicated space. Atom's general listings and premium names are an entirely different setup from the WLM, which deserves its own thread since it's its own product.

In my search, I even came across a domainer who was baffled by another domainer’s 90k+ name portfolio. Turns out, it’s because they’re using Atom’s WLM and have opted to showcase Atom’s full inventory as well.

So, let’s make this space useful:

1. Share your WLM URL
2. Ask questions
3. Share your WLM sales (so we can see if it’s really worth it)
4. Discuss technical aspects that could be improved
5. Share marketing/SEO tips

Let’s get the conversation going!

To kick this off, my WLM is in my signature or can be viewed here.

Good idea for a thread, I agree that this deserves its own.

I'm thinking of switching over to Atom's WLM instead of Afternic's landers, I'll share my rationale and I'll come here to post updates along the way.

7.5% of the sale price, and Atom handles the payment processing fee? That is great.

Probably going to entirely delist from Afternic, too, but that's a whole other rant.

I am very curious to see how WLM does for non-brandable domains. For brandable domains that didn’t get approved for Premium, then Atom standard makes sense, but I’ll be interested to see how it performs for geos, exact-match, or other domains that are a million miles away from brandable use.

With the end of Dan and the issues people are having with Afternic, it would be great to see another strong competitor emerge.

I'd assume since it's your personal WLM business, you can market it for whatever niche/names you're selling.

I have my iks with Afternic as well and have been on and off with them. Beyond the exposure, i'm not a fan.
It's possible to have your WLM business, even with names pointed to it and still have names shown within the Afternic network. I'm looking to give the WLM a fair chance, and market it seriously so it can become a brand for whatever niche used(Tech, two words, brandables etc)

Personally I've been using the Atom WLM for a few weeks now and I have to say I'm very impressed. I like the look of the landers, the home/portfolio page and I like the new AI logos. I also like the low(ish) commission on sales.

Also forgot to say (in the thread) the sales process was lightening fast. From offer to money in the bank (or paypal) in under 24 hrs. Also the AI descriptions are pretty good.

One thing I will say I that obviously the AI is influenced by what it finds online which can be problematic in some instances. For example if you have a generic name but when you Google the keyword there is one strong search result, the AI may create a logo, description, keyword list, possible uses list etc etc based on that search result (existing company) which I would imagine could give them ammo for a UDRP? Hard to explain but it might look like you're specifically targeting one company with your name.
