It’s all about cashflow and patience. The best money is made when everyone else is worried or paying attention to the “hot” product. . This has been a great year for my portfolio. I have picked up some great one word and short domains over the last year. Everyone is playing bitcoin while I hunt for domains. Names that used to sell are no longer selling leaving many domain investors with a portfolio full of junk and no valuable inventory. I have some of that as well but most of my buys could be sold immediately the next day for 70% of the purchase price which is an indicator of a decent buy. Have I sold very many? Not really. But enough to keep upgrading. Fortunately I’m diversified and have good cash flow. This blog and a few other sites are having a great year and keep the domain investment money flowing. And I keep buying. Could it be a mistake and I lose all my money.? Sure. But I got my money through my domain investing and Internet ventures so if I go out, it will be through reinvesting in what brought me to the dance. There is no better way to define success in this industry than to make a profit and still have a better portfolio than when you started. And I think right now it is a great time to do just that. Here are today’s names. Click for most recent price

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. I 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 me, Shane . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything I say is based on my own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or my opinion is correct. I hand choose my names but I am paid to make this list by 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
“most of my buys could be sold immediately the next day for 70% of the purchase price which is an indicator of a decent buy”
Trading bitcoin at 70% wouldn’t be decent. Great thing about crypto is there are no renewals!
RE: “Moneyy.com – Brandbucket has proven these double letter endings sell.”
I’d respectfully disagree with you on that. BrandBucket has proven nothing of the sort. I’m willing to bet that their turnover for this class of “domainn” is well under 1%. I’m also willing to bet that they likely make more money from the $10 submission fees on these double letter domains than they do on commissions of actual sales. so yeah sure .. they are fantastic for brandbucket .. but certainly not for domainers.
That being said .. if you’re going to do exxtra letterrs, then moneyy.com is the one to get (although I’d rather “mooney.com” if I had the choice because at least it’s pronounceable). But I reallyy don’tt likee 99.9% of extra letterr domains .. and I think it’s an illusion that they sell, because while some do sell, I’m willing to put money that the turnover % is vastly lower than average .com’s (and I’m not even talking about the obviously premium equivalents like “money.com”, I’m just talking about average 2-word .coms or actual pronounceable made-up word brandables).
Ategy,
Or you could look at it from my side. I would have thought 0 sell. So the fact that ANY sell on Brandbucket proves that Brandbucket does move names that nobody else would. But nobody should buy a lot of these names.
If you are in the brand name domain game and not making enough to cover renewals and replacement of names then you should find a different strategy or move to another investment platform. If you are taking your outside money and having to pump in cash every month then you better have just started. Otherwise domains can be a money pit.
Well .. admittedly they might not be at 0% .. but I’m thinking there is likely a colossal gap between what the actual % likely is, and the % it would need to be for the average extra letterr domain to even break even.
.
Does brandbucket publicly breakdown their sales and inventory numbers to the sub-type like “doubled extra letter”? I’m curious …
Re: ” This blog and a few other sites are having a great year and …”
.
Just curious if these other sites are public knowledge or not (not sure if you ever mentioned them here in the past). Curious to know what they are?
I have a few public and a few partnerships I don’t share. I have some small sites that make a few hundred a month each but have a handful so it adds up. Heucheras.com, Viburnum.com, Vermicomposting.com. Most I haven’t updated in a while but they still do well. I have sites like LazyStripper.com I haven’t updated in forever and it still brings in some revenue. And I still have some residuals on a few site sales from years past
Why not do both? I have been and it’s working out so far. Domains and cc’s are a perfect compliment to each other.
These guys are like crypto sherpa’s. That’s what it reminded me of when I started watching them. Both industries are very new and similar in many ways.
