How many of you are on Twitter?

[Brands.International]

Guys,

how many of you are on Twitter? Are you doing some good sales there? Let's discuss

I personally started my Twitter account yesterday (and would be glad if you connect me there).

After having more than 12k followers on LinkedIn, I want to experiment with Twitter now, as I think LinkedIn can be sometimes pretty boring and slow.

Twitter seems to be more lively.

GL to everyone, and create your Twitter presence if you are not there yet!

I am on Twitter @AGreatDomain

I have never directly tried to sell there - now and then show a graphic for a name.

It can be another way to network outside domain community.

I tried Twitter during my first ~5 years in domaining.
Then stopped, like I stopped email outbound.

Proud to say NO.

Maybe y’all will convince me, seeing who’s on..

I feel it’s become too partisan political negative

In my Twitter bubble, it will be all about domain names.

I do not feel it is professional to get into politics when you are a domain investor.

Anyone who will start to act in a nonprofessional way will get ... INSTA BLOCKED

@DirkS what does SM stand for ?

Sorry about that. Social Media. In full disclosure, I hate most forms of social media from the bottom of my heart.

Clubhouse... Don't even get me started...

Your best shot? Didn't expected that kind of .... move.

Try Clubhouse instead. Seriously, insanely overhyped so a great platform to flog some domains.

It's not available yet for android users.

Because LinkedIn is more serious in terms of business activity.

It seems I missed one of the splendid person in twitter. Followed you too Bob .

 

[BradWilson]

I'm an old hat with Twitter.

In fact, 12 years ago I developed a really cool marketing system called Powered By Tweets which unfortunately died shortly after that when Twitter changed the rules - big sad face

The domain I let expire awhile later and someone probably Twitter itself snatched it up.

So, which one of the dozens of accounts should I list? hmm okay @BradCWilson that account is for the most part unused and extra "nice" ha.

Well all my stuff is nice but this one just doesn't overly expose my old domains

So if anyone wants to pull some of my old domain "nuggets", you'll have to do some diggn.

Oh yes of course I've used Twitter to market my domains but I haven't done it recently so I'd be very interested to see if it works now because it didn't before.

 

[noneisnone]

Using social media to sell your domains is basically like saying, "a good domain isn't gonna cut it to sell your stuff". Think about it, is that the message you want to convey as a domainer?

there is nothing wrong with reaching out to potential buyers to let them know the domain is up for sale.
you think RE/MAX chief of marketing is visiting afternic or sedo looking for good domains to buy ? i don't understand this whole mentality of letting domains set parked waiting for the buyer to approach , not everyone can afford a one word.com

using social media is just like doing outbound

This is nothing .. he's liking his own tweets. // Congrats! Using all of us for your own agenda. Not cool.

 

[Brands.International]

You are not selling your soul to the devil Dirk - you just helping fellow domainers to get an audience on social media.

I know - many domainers are used to quarrel together, most read threads here are those where you fight with someone - but why not be friendly and help each other?

When you will create new account on Twitter or at LinkedIn and ask me to help, I will do it

 

[Brands.International]

I know, you mean well...

LinkedIn used to be ok but gets 'abused' so much these days. I just don't trust any company harvesting big data. Looking at the rate tech is evolving I can only contemplate about the level of evil they will reach in another decade or so.

Anyway, yeah spot on. Helping each other singing kumbaya next to a campfire seems nice .

Thanks Yeah, I know, singing kumbaya together might seem a little bit off, but I think there is so much unnecessary quarreling - domainers would do so much better if they would promote domains together to the external world and stopped their internal disputes.

I do agree with you that at the moment the cost (financial and from an energy point of view)

Yes, that's the only issue I take. The energy resources wasted to create them/power transactions.

I don't think they add much value overall anyway so it's concerning to see this take off big time.

Let's hope over time more people will opt for the environmental friendly options. Ultimately if society continues to go 'virtual/online' more and more we're all doomed in my opinion. Orwellian doom If you'd ask me but that's beyond the reach of this thread so let's save that for a thread focussing on the philosophical side of the issues this world faces as of today.

Yes, I agree - it is likely going to be a pretty Orwellian doom. The good thing it is still time to prepare for it. I see that many very intelligent and rich people are now hastily learning about blockchain/crypto/NFTs - they know that there is only a few-year time period, and if they do not catch up, the power they accumulated will transfer somewhere else.

I think domainers are very well positioned to understand NFTs, as we are pioneers when it comes to the value of totally non-fungible things

I would personally not underestimate NFTs - they are just another form of agreement between humans, and will serve as a store of value, access, privileges, voting power, etc.

Hop there again LinkedIn is pretty good, and I think Twitter will be even better - let's experiment

 

[Brands.International]

Because LinkedIn is more serious in terms of business activity.

Honestly - I think people on Twitter are much more approachable. I was now experimenting with NFTs/crypto since November (so I neglected domains a bit) and I want now to transfer my experience from these areas into domaining again

 

[Brands.International]

can you share your experience on linked in(Domain sales) ?

Well, if you have a good profile there, you can DM to CEO/decision-makers directly and many times they react in a very positive manner. They can also directly contact you there - good profile = trust.

I have NEVER experienced any negative or abusive behavior on LinkedIn. I think the reason is that most people there are fully uncovered - and when they are not under anonymous profiles, people usually behave pretty decently.

The same or similar I expect at Twitter, but I think Twitter has more anonymity, so it will be a more rough place to be - yet to be tested
