After a full year of moving 300+ names over to Atom, I would say it was a roaring success. I doubled my sell-through rate and did around $400k in sales. No doubt in my mind they have some of the best discoverability in the industry and provide a great place to move quality domains.
I have one issue with Atom. I’ve never seen a full smile from Darpan. A little grin here and there, but never a full smile. He seems to be a very serious person, or maybe he just doesn’t like me. Both are very possible. It could also be cultural. I’m in retail and have learned that many cultures smile less than others. Russian women used to tell me I smiled too much and that it seemed like I was trying to hide something. Yes, I was told that more than once. If there’s such a thing as smiling too much, then I do. When I’m happy, I smile. It’s not a nervous smile. If I’m nervous, I tend to stay to myself. I say this in jest. I am sure he smiles and has plenty of belly laughs in private. We’ve barely crossed paths and it’s not like he was doing a stand up set when he speaks. He’s there to do business.
Darpan should definitely be smiling with what he’s built at Atom. Every day the platform gets a little better and continues to provide domain investors with a strong option to sell names. It’s clearly risen above others doing similar work. I have to give credit to Hilco and the team. It’s not a coincidence that Atom made a huge jump right when that team joined. I think Hilco is the superpower that doesn’t get showcased very often. Andrew Miller, Daniel K, and others should be commended. We all smile when they land you the big sale.

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. We Charge $10 per name per day. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.* All names chosen by us. (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything we say is based on our own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or our opinion is correct. We hand choose the names but we are paid to make this list by both the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good.
Hi Shane, congratulations on your success with Atom
now for the domainer-meat, The big question:
which “Atom” level of listing did you choose, Standard/Plus or Premium?
the exposure/commission is very different for each level
thanks and keep up the great work,
Hal
ps: i love the newsletter format
I am in premium. 100 plus and I have some solid domains. If they don’t get accepted to premium I don’t list them and I only have 1/3 of my portfolio there. The rest are afternic, efty or my own landers
