.mobi Mobi Pie

[acc]

Just because one geographical market may develop does not mean another one has to decline. New markets sprout and grow and GDPs expand all around the world. The pie is getting bigger. That makes plenty of room for all languages and all extensions. Dot-com has been the meat and Dot-net/org/etc. have been the potatoes and vegetables. And now Dot-mobi is going to be the dessert.

Generic dot-mobis are as unique and unforgettable as homemade pie ... mmmm. The nice thing about pies is that they come in many flavors. In the dot mobi space, the english term mobis are like apple pie, the standard. And there are many, many people who also love cherry pie, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, key lime pie, Bostom creme pie, mincemeat pie, and many others. Each one with their understanding and appreciation of the local flavor have the ability to satisfy their diners (customers).

With the size of the US economy and breadth of use of english in business worldwide, it will be the default and preferable language for dot-mobi domain names. With the sheer size of spanish speaking population, it will also become a major dot-mobi name term. Chinese, french, german, italian, dutch, etc. names will also be important in their individual markets. Even though english terms are and will be the best to own and develop, generic dot mobi names in these other languages will be valuable as well.

If you understand a language other than english, you have an advantage over the vast majority of domainers. Take advantage of it and register those good keyword dot-mobis left in foreign languages and you can be very successful offering your regional pies.

Before anyone needs to remind me, I do understand that there are also many "cow pies" being registered in the dot mobi extension too. We all can see the thousands of cow pies offered for sale, posted for appraisals, and being dropped every single day in EVERY extension. Yes, we shake our collective
heads wondering what on earth someone was thinking when they registered some of these names, I guess we have to keep one thing in mind that - that it is an integral part of the system. Maybe some of those cow pies will fertilize the seeds sitting near them.

Ideas are just seeds until they sprout. Something triggers every good idea.

Keep baking.

ACC there are some great symbols here that, on taking a closer look, point like parables..

I agree, the pie is getting bigger and bigger.. how small a percentage of the world's 6 billion people are using the internet? Then, how much more can a global TLD like a Dot Mobi have value as greater and greater of those 6 billion raise traffic? You think you've seen it all in the dot com era? The best is coming, NOW, online en masse.. (through the affordable mobile phone, FiRsT)

Yes India and China combined repreent 1/3 of all human beings on Earth - and, yes, though most may not buy that diamond ring luxury item on your site.. BUT the world's masses coming online will CLICK ON YOUR AD.. and that PPC traffic alone is like money appearing from thin air in front of you..

The worlds masses also represent resources and services alongside traffic..

So you wanna get paid for doing nothing huh? That's why your in domaining!

Currently, just a fraction of the 6 billion have a PC in their home. How many of the 6 billion have a cellphone? Food for thought....

The mobile internet will be much larger than the PC internet, IMO.

 

[satsdifference.com]

Yes

Yes

Now, say we travelled in time to the future; and, indeed mobile internet is dwarfing pc internet..

Does that mean the mobile TLD .mobi's value dwarf anything .com has ever done in its 10-15 year old infancy as a commodity?!

Does that mean, as long as ICANN holds par, if the best times best generic dotcoms sell for 1-2 million.. and the glory days of a .mobi could reach 5-10 million for a best generic some day conceptually?

How many more millionaires are there today than before? How can the value of the chief generic domain name of the times ever go down?

..and happening worldwide?

This is unprecedented..

I don't think it's a question that in the future mobile internet will be more widespread than dotcom. Of course, perhaps another extension like .wap will come out to rival .mobi, but it seems definitive at this point that whichever mobile extension (perhaps some other) prevails shall make certain people quite wealthy.

As for greater value than dotcom... My belief is that depends on how common cell phone internet usage becomes. Yes, there may be more mobile phones than computers, but will those who have both only use their cell phone when there's no computer around? What about cell phones with built in projectors that will someday be widespread giving everyone 17"+ screens just like a computer? Will that change people's minds about whether the mobile internet is more for convenience, rather than for hour+ long browsing?

There are alot of questions remaining to be answered at this point... We just don't know what the future holds in store -- or how far down the road that future is. If I buy a name for $10,000 today and it's worth $50,000 once the mobile web matures, is that a good investment? What if it takes 10+ years to materialize? What about the opportunity lost to invest that money in dotcoms -- i.e. 2, 3-letter dotcoms. Two of them will probably be worth $50,000 in 10 years also, and with very, very little risk.

I believe the biggest concern (or what should be the biggest), is how much time it will take until dotmobi becomes the mobile standard, should it become such. At present, my renew fees are $4,000+ annually (sig is outdated). If it takes 10 years to materialize, I'll have sunk $40,000 of my own money and lost out on likely $40,000 in profits having put that 40k in energy. So I'd basically be staking 80k USD on dotmobi. That's a pretty big risk! And it would have to be pretty successful for me to end up getting 80k+ for my portfolio... I keep investments and play money (i.e. dotmobi money) separate, so it's not a big deal if I were to lose out on this -- it's not like 80k would change my life radically (I'd still have a mortgage :yell: ), but for some people investing substantial amounts (their retirement savings?), they may have a heck of alot more at stake here!

I'm trying to stay away from regging too many more dotmobis, aware of how rapidly annual fees come along. Sticking to premium dotmobis on the aftermarket helps mitigate risk (i.e. should I become ill and not be able to afford these annual fees) should dotmobi take longer than some expect to materialize (should it materialize).

Oh... I almost for got how much I love PIE

My situation..

Yes, although it seems like .mobi has all the tools to the the best ever.. it's not yet, so who knows?

Instead of looking how it can make it, I try to look at how it can NOT make it..

There doesn't seem to be alot of competition in the vast mobile internet field.. hence, probably the slow and careful pace..

But, with that said, even if there was a .tel or something else like it, it doesn't seem like that could better or even duplicate the current coalition of corporate giants backing DotMobi..

Maybe DotCom was like the George Mikan of basketball players.. First, legendary and the biggest.. however, for a 10-15 year old baby commodity of domaining, naturally, it should only get better.. so, can a .mobi be like the michael jordan? .. It always gets better, and in values too.. Til prime Internet Real Estate becomes noticeably more valuable than prime real estate?

Also, perhaps in the next 0-3 years even is like a Judgment Day for the currently hot and speckless MTLD business gang - 0-3 years for us to be seeing if all hopes hold true.. remember all the reserved generic names have yet to be distributed to businesses that will use and publicize it..

Everyone involved in this, from bottom to top, know its all about timing..

Yes, renewal fees are a concern of mine.. but I try to live for today mostly, because with this dot mobi it's hard to predict our tomorrow.. what's going on here with regards to my prior domaining experience is really unprecedented.. I don't know what or which business opportunity might just pop up as a result of one of my dot mobis.. out of a crazy hunger I am buying more.. so, although I wouldn't like to drop any ideally, I'll do my best and work hard for that $4000 before a year to renew everything.. take it one year at a time..hopefully one sale at a time.. play the present..

I agree it's all about timing; but, remember that there is a big difference of action between a 6 month year old baby and a year and a half old baby.. it's just we have to keep fishing now harder to pull in the nice ones for deals of a lifetime (remember this treasure chest closing drafting habit/lifestyle will not last, it's a once and only opportunity in the present).. .. and now, is the glory days.. and when this treasure chest of landrush name availability closes.. we may be forced to turn more to development with what we have and turn to growing that organic traffic.. but now, I'm still looking to reg.. Ones I have been regging I think are better than some I regged months ago.. and I don't mean one worders.. but two worders, combined, can be more effective than current available odd one worders.. like KeywordNews etc.. RSS considerations..


Happy Dot Mobi Friends,

Hi Everyone

Hi Guys

As a baby, DotMobi:

In the early stages of a lifespan cycle, I think it is more a buyer's market instead of a seller's market..

Before this swings..

Should we be more attentive on buying (aftermarket and new regz) more than relying on selling at the moment? (I am trying to do both, of course; but, I am really selling to be able to consider buying more hehehe)

And if you're broke like me, then it's really a holder's market hehehe

Hold your best, friends really! In the coming future, don't be hastily tempted to sell your best (just because you can) for a fish today, aspire to feed off your best for a lifetime! RIGHT NOW is the best chance in time I have to make it.. so it's all about your best of Dot Mobi and Defense.


Hold on, friends!



Kind Regards,

Yelo
