.tv NICHE Play That could be worthwhile

[equity78]

This is a play for #1 DOG LOVERS a market that is huge and secondly it goes with the whole Social networking genre too. Many people socialize and come together at places like Dog Parks

First off in a reverse move These names were premium that are now non premium

Reason I know is because I own a min pin who acts more like a stuck up person and not a dog. He gets a ton of attention people actually call to talk to him. I always thought about making him a You Tube star.

Min PIN.tv was $500 a year I just regged for $24.99

Many names are avail such as
Labrador Retriever
Golden Retriever
Siberian Husky
Shih Tzu
Dachshund

I am giving you a link to the top 68 most popular breeds according to THE AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB
http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/mammals/dog/popular.shtml

Now you can get content from WIKIPEDIA and AKC.org

You know Dog Lovers will have pics and videos and they can build your community for you. Monetize through adsense/ypn Vidsense Brightroll
Get sponsors like petstores/pet insurance/dog clothing and toys/breeders

A lot of dog owners tend to be breed specific other min pin owners I know could care less about poodles they own Min Pins they go to min pin websites
I think this is a common trend

This is a development REG IDEA don't reg a bunch and in a year say Equity that idea sucked. If you don't like dogs and don't develop the idea does suck. Its funny they kept Rottweiler at $500 but you can get the top two most popular breeds for reg fee.

Here you are getting a category defining name that is taken in all gtlds and all MAJOR cctlds

I think you can make some money and have some fun I think when Demand Media sees what going on they will change the pricing back

Again IMO not a recommendation..... Do not reg 10 Reg 1 of a breed you know and or like.

This will be going on DOTTVNATION blog giving peeps here first look

this is a good niche concept. i thought about this a few months ago, but since I don't know the first thing about dogs, I decided to pass.

As EQ said, please develop these, around a breed you know, and you can have a nice income generating site over time.

I got Dachshund.tv

I have a miniature Dachshund named Honey. She is a doll! Maybe I'll dedicate a site to her with a forum and video section (once I get over being a development noob).

Thanks for the tip! Rep left!

I love it!!

As an aimal lover, both dog and cats , I think its nice to own a name for once not thinking about making a profit, more as a hobby to watch it grow into a social network.

I wanted German Shepherd, but it was taken, so I went with Golden Retriever instead.

Thanks Eq, rep added.

 

[equity78]

Thank you guys and congrats on your regs, I think this is a unique opportunity that allows you to have something that is the category definer the top keyword for that Niche "the breed" Then it has the social networking play and it is a huge market. On top of that like Millers mentioned people who love dogs can get benefit from these type sites even without focusing on the $ aspect because they will have a great interest in the topic

equity- I see you finally picked up mudwrestling.tv, great reg. My hand hovered over that one, but alas I ran out of money first.

Picking a breed of animal is a great idea, and can be applied to several different animals, though dogs and cats are by far the most popular.

As we think about how one goes about determining values for domains, the social networking factor should play a significant role in this extension, almost as much as the dot com. When you find an available keyword that makes sense for this extension, has merchandising opportunities, and has social networking potential, then you've regged well.

[StoneRoses]

Interesting idea, i had a similiar thought a while ago and picked up Dogspace.TV,

 

[johntv]

Very nice idea Raymond and nice minpin.tv reg
I have four dogs in Kenya and regged dogs.tv and puppy.tv some time ago. To my surprise puppy.tv was no premium and available at that time.

John,

Thanks
BTW I just checked and puppies.tv is still available at premium, $500 a year. Too expensive in my opinion.

 

[equity78]

Thanks John yes I think this is an idea that is bankable with the right effort. I notice 2 no votes but neither said why, I guess because there is nothing to say IMO..... especially when I look at all the crap I have seen regged over the last 6 months if someone can't get this idea THEN THEY JUST DON'T GET .TV

i regged kittens.tv a while back (non-premium), so when you figure out what to do with puppy.tv let me know...and I will shamelessly copy you!

 

[equity78]

Was only going to take one min pin but I took a related one DOBERMAN results were too big and a lot of people think MIN PIN's are shrunk down DOBERMANS but the MINPIN been around much longer.

The more I think of this if you are new to .tv and love dogs pick a breed and go you will be able to do a lot and make it worthwhile and profitable IMO
