opinion What Will 2022 Hold? Input for future blog post sought.

[Bob Hawkes]

I hope that many NamePros members will help me out. I am putting together, for publication at the start of 2022, a NamePros Blog article summarizing views on what the year ahead might look like in domain name investing.

What trends do you see?

• Is there a new niche that you think will become hot?
• What sectors will be highly sought?
• Are domain name prices on way up or down?
• Do you see the top, middle or bottom of market, price wise, as offering best opportunities?
• Will ETH, meta and NFT stay strong?
• Will the surge in .xyz continue?
• What about .io? .co?
• What about national country codes?
• Will there be more, or fewer, million dollar sales?
• What changes do you predict in the marketplaces we use?
• Will decentralized domain names grow in acceptance?
• What trends do you see happening in branding?
• Overall, do you think 2022 will be better or worse than 2021?
• What is your biggest concern about the future of domain investing?
• What one thing do you hope will happen? Perhaps a new service you think the industry needs.

I am not looking for you to comment on all of those topics! Just select one, or two, and give your opinion, or comment on something not on the list.

While space will not permit me to include everyone's comments, my intention is to quote, with attribution to you, a number in the NamePros article.

Please don't be hesitant to share. Having many viewpoints, from all parts of the world, and from different experience levels, will help produce a balanced article.

Thank you in advance.

Bob

Hi

year after year, since i've been domaining... it has grown,
and that to me, is a measure of strength, relating to it's longetivity.
the volume of transactions and the overall expenditures,
the expansion of domain related services, the reports, the blogs, the conventions, the personas` and personalities alike.

and within all of that, are the trends that come and go and the domain names that get bought, sold, dropped, and then get caught or re-regged again.

the "new money" that flows in yearly, from across the globe, all want in on a piece of this action.
from the $10 hopefuls to the whales who scoop-up portfolios'.

and as with nature, only the strong will survive.


imo...
