Since arriving on the domain scene a few years ago, and much to the chagrin of old time traditional domainers, I've created something I refer to as "Niche Domaining" btw, NicheDomaining.com is available to register, and it was registered for 12 years from 2005-2016.
As an example I've carved out niches with first and sometimes second word domains like; "Ark", "Homes", "757", and even "Whisky"
Let me tell you about my latest niche using the word "Gumbo". Who doesn't like Gumbo, the designated dish for the state of Louisiana? For anyone who hasn't had gumbo, you're missing out on one of the finest dishes anywhere in the world.
Interesting, when you go to Gumbo.com it takes you to a software company simply called "Gumbo", along the lines of "Amazon". "Gumbo" it turns out is a pretty cool name. It has just 5 letters, two syllables and is memorable, and frankly I think it's better than "Amazon"
How do I know it's "overlooked"? For one thing, if you go to Namebio you'll see where just 5 domains with "gumbo" have been sold over the past 20 years;
gumbo.net 2019
gumboyaya.com - 2019
sweetgumobttom.com - 2018
gumbocity.com - 2014
gumboy.com - 2010
Of course the naysayers reading this will say "Gumbo" is a bad name, and I'm sure they're the same ones who would say "Google" is a bad name
Regardless, i've registered about a dozen "Gumbo" domains in the last few days similar to GumboBrand.com and GumboDigital.com.
The last thing I'll share, unless you have a "plan" for marketing a "niche" like this, don't waste your money. However if you do, "Niche Domaining" may be for you
