New gTLD investor Demographics

[atinc]

When it comes to the renewal time I keep my new gTLDs and drop most of my .com domains.

I think new gTLDs are under estimated as of today and will keep grow in value in time.

Most of the new gTLD bashers are middle aged or just old as I observed on namePros and I understand why they hate new gTLDs so much because it effects their .com aftermarket sales while there are super generics available with new gTLDs.

I am curious about the demographics of new gTLD investors.

I am 28 years old and I think young people will determine how the new internet will be shaped.

This thread is exclusive for only new gTLD investors to prevent bashers to speculate on the results.

Please go ahead and participate the poll to see the average age of new gTLD investors.

Offers? That's not money in the bank. If they were good offers, you would have taken them. Be real.

What is a good offer for you and what is a good offer for me is different.

You are okay for $ xx- $xxxx, but I am not.

I added to my post while you were typing, address this:

"Since you have 0 sales, that means you've felt you haven't even gotten 1 good offer yet, or you would have taken it."

And that you actually posted more offers than sales, as if that's a good thing. And most likely false on top of that.

Again a good offer in my literature is different than yours. I don`t need a $1000, so $xxxx offers won`t satisfy me.

I am pretty happy cause each month I receive more and more offers on my new gTLDs from resellers and the offers grow in value too.

I think same will apply for end-users too.

School me on how markets work, when you're not selling anything. Brilliant. Then link to this thread - https://www.namepros.com/threads/20-domains-all-state-code-phx-az.1042283/

Those are horrible. In the other thread you talk about which new gtlds look better, you're posting up .us and .mobis. I don't think you even know what new gtlds are?

@jaseon I am thankful for your support buddy, but @JB Lions got a point on the link he shared above.

You won`t make any sales with these domains man, no offense but I got no idea about even what

PHXAZ.ACCOUNTANTS
PHXAZ.BID
PHXAZ.BUSINESS

even mean.

You need to learn before you make any further investments with new g`s cause they will cost you more money then .com.

I would suggest you to read @lolwarrior `s book which you can find part of it here:

@JB Lions , may I ask if you participated the poll to see the results?

Is it you who voted for 40 - 45 years old?

Wait have you sceen how other city, state codes new gTLD's have been doing? maybe I won't hit on all of those but like I said I regged those for pennies, the worst that will happen is I will turn .business into a phx az business directory, and bid will be a bids guide affiliate, and phoenix az accountant has the most hits beside .club. Thanks for your opinion but you strictly domain guys lack vision, it seems.

He said he wasn't a domainer, so he's not a domain guy. I started out with developing, so I do both.

"Wait have you sceen how other city, state codes new gTLD's have been doing?"

I asked you about other sales in that pattern, they don't exist but you seem to think they do? Post them. So I can "sceen" how they're doing.

You're going to start a city business directory in 2017? Have you done one of those before, if so, which one, how much does it make?

Look at your competition - https://www.google.com/search?q=phoenix+business+directory&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

No chance.

I know how they are doing man, now I get it, it is Phoenix Arizona...

I still suggest you to read @lolwarrior `s posts.

He is sharing his experiences with new gTLDs which costed him some capital.

I think phoenix or Arizona alone makes more sense with these extensions. I didn`t even get what the hack is PHXAZ mean.

 

[jaseon]

phx az . business doesn't make since

 

[jaseon]

city and state code, check it out some time

 

[atinc]

city and state code, check it out some time

I think either state or city name is enough.

Combining them with short versions doesn`t make any sense at all.

@atinc
I live in Greece and I know what phx az stands for

btw. I support ngtlds and I also believe that some of them will succeed but I believe this thread took the wrong turn.... like every other ngtld thread does really :/

Anyways as I mentioned on my first post in this thread I don`t want any bashers to come and make a post since they got no any valid answers that I am looking for on my question on the poll.

That's not even genuine and no that wasn't my poll answer.

"Most of the new gTLD bashers are middle aged or just old as I observed on namePros and I understand why they hate new gTLDs so much because it effects their .com aftermarket sales while there are super generics available with new gTLDs."

You invite it each time on purpose. You could have just asked a question with the poll.

What was your answer then?

That`s just my way buddy and that`s really what I observed spending time on namePros.

True..

Domaining (sorry: "domain name investing") is not the future of domain names but new gTLDs, with descriptive extensions, is.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

I think either state or city name is enough.

Combining them with short versions doesn`t make any sense at all.

Because there are many Geos with the same name... so exact state is used to distinguish them...
In our case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix#Places

I am not sure what is the purpose of this poll.
It should come as no surprise that nTLD investors are less experienced with domain names on average. Those who have some experience (possibly being burnt in the past) are usually more restrained toward new extensions.

But it's not really a question of age. Some people may discover domaining after they retired. NP has members from all walks of life.
If you are trying to suggest that the young generation is more open to new extensions - I don't believe it at all. One good reason is that they have grown up surrounded with .com and ccTLDs. These are the TLDs that are ingrained in the minds of consumers.

As to the claim that "young people will determine how the new internet will be shaped". I have a more nuanced opinion. Consumers (whether young or aged) don't shape the Internet, it is the entrepreneurs who will, based on the expectations of the public. Consumers provide feedback but usually don't have a direct influence on things.

Even the startups seem to prefer established extensions, or sometimes they go with ccTLDs such .io or .ai or whatever (depending on the fad of the moment), domain hacks, brandable names, 'creative' domains. New extensions are not a popular/obvious choice, even for startups. Consumers have spoken already.

PS: I didn't vote in the poll since I am not a 'gTLD investor'. My age doesn't matter anyway.

If you're a domain investor, save your time and money and focus on .com. If you're a developer, get whatever you like because the value will be in your work. If you're a major company, it has to be .com due to marketing, email security, and overall public recognition reasons.
