Hi Everyone,
My name is JD Bloodstone and am new to your community. I had actually never heard of this site before until I met one of your members in a very interesting way. After some brief exchanges he recommended I come here and introduce myself, so... here I am.
If any of you know me it's because of a few books that I've written based off of Napoleon Hill's teachings along with many other self-improvement authors, except let's just say I put my own spin on them. If any of you are interested in learning more about his let me know, but that's definitely not why I'm here.
Almost two weeks ago I became a white-label reseller for GoDaddy's domain services which essentially means that I can sell any of their products and/or services under my own brand. The goal is to provide a seamless user experience to customers without them ever knowing that GoDaddy is powering everything behind the curtain, including their telephone support. What intrigued me about this concept is that I control the pricing... for everything. This got me thinking. As a domain hoarder myself, I'm obviously price-sensitive, but how much of my decision in choosing registrars is based on the brand? How much of it is based on ease-of-use? Any other deciding factors that are important to you?
To answer the question above, a whangdoodle is defined as 'a fanciful creature of undefined nature', so it's really whatever you want it to be; however, because of the book written by Julie Andrews (yes, Mary Poppins), most assume a whangdoodle is a moose-like creature that grows a new pair of bedroom slippers every year. And, where would a whangdoodle live? In Whangdoodleland, of course. So, why am I asking you about whangdoodles? Well, because I've adopted the whangdoodle - AKA The Whangdude - as my mascot and he pitches the services of Whangdoodle's Web Services, a full-service domain registrar. In an ultra-competitive market I wanted to introduce and represent a company that is whimsical, fun, and friendly, and I thought what better way to do than with a whangdoodle?
From what I understand about this community is that you are it... my target market... and is in the best position to provide valuable feedback to my newest venture. So, what sayest thou? Do you think I'm on to something or just wasting my time? Thank you in advance for any insight you may offer.
Onward & Upward,
JD
