Domain Shane’s Daily List of Domains at Auction for Friday October 5th, 2018

1. I made a comment on a DomainSherpa episode maybe a month ago, but it was never approved, even though it wasn’t offensive or anything like that. So it could be that someone/webmaster doesn’t know how to approve comments (or is extremely sensitive to what people write).

   And to be honest, I don’t like the direction the show has taken lately. An entire show discussing the acquisition of px.com? Come on.
   I understand why Drew would be interested in that, but average domainers, and certainly rookies like me, are not buying and selling two character domains. Hearing experts discuss the type of domains I have a chance of investing in are way more interesting to listen to. Just my 2 cents…

   1. I agree Tomas.

   2. Thanks for the comment Tomas.

      First off, as you said, the comment issue was / is a webmaster thing. We literally haven’t been approving comments apparently and now there is a massive back log. Some folks were apparantely auto approved when Cyger owned the show so those comments get posted but everyone else ended up in a black hole! We are working on this! SORRY!

      As for the show on PX.COM, I have to disagree with you! The domain itself is NOT the point. Its not the focus of the show. Just like when we reveiw a really horrible user submitted portfolio, even if all the domain names are worthless, there are a lot of lessons to be pulled from the show. Specifically in the PX.com show, I would argue that one of the most important lessons every taught on DomainSherpa was presented. The perspective of a founder on how THEY value a premium domain and what elements push them to make a big investment. Understanding what motivates an end user to buy your domain and how they arrive at a value for that domain for their business is CRITICAL. LITERALLY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN LEARN IN DOMAINS. PERIOD.

      Stick with us. We’ve had growing pains since we bought it from Michael Cyger no doubt but we are doing our best and plan to make lots of positive changes in our communication, formats, etc… and of course approving comments!

      1. Thanks for replying Andrew!

         I have to admit that I actually stopped watching the PX.com episode after 5 minutes. I guess I will have to watch it after all! 🙂

         I’d also like to say that I love watching the DomainSherpa show. I’m watching at least two episodes/week and I have now “worked” my way back to early 2016. I’m learning a ton!

         Something that gets discussed a lot on NamePros is doing outbound and what the best practices are. Would be great if you could do an episode on that!

2. Tomas,

   That has been a reoccurring problem. Approving comments in a timely manner. I appreciate the feedback. Will pass it on

3. They do not reply to emails either for whatever reason, and seem to have a general communication issue. If more reader/viewer engagement is desired, that should be addressed. Thanks for asking.

   And, there is a tremendous queue for portfolio review. But the ones that are reviewed are always so bad. Personally, I would find it more interesting with better portfolios. Watching the Sherpas struggle to find value amongst the crappy hand-regs is getting old. A bit of quality control would be great!!!!!!!

   Finally, I find your insights and knowledge and experience to be the most relatable to the average/upper average investor. Thanks again Shane. I always look forward to your shows.

4. Hi- I have been watching the show since it’s creation and domaining since 2000. We live in an interactive and what’s in it for me world. Just like at NamesCon, maybe once a month have a live episode in which people can type in or call in questions. You can have someone on the other end screening them and choosing the most relevant ones.
   I have no clue about the logistics involved in making a live show happen without technical issues, but I do know that every Sunday they have live feed shows talking about who to start in fantasy football and watchers ask who to start. Having a time slot like a Tuesday night at 10:00 may get enough of an audience to watch and ask questions about a domain they own, bought or sold. It may be easier to analyze one portfolio, but telling people about one of their domains means more to the listeners.
   Just food for thought….
