Domain Shane’s Daily List of Domains at Auction for Sunday December 9th, 2018

Escrow.com

NamesCon is coming up and you’re going to hear all different thoughts from various people about why they go and why they don’t.  I’ll tell you that like everything is life, the conference is what you make it.  If you want to go and make connections and put in some effort you absolutely will.  I remember the first time I met Mike Sallese.  We were either at a live Domain Sherpa show (before I was a regular) or a live auction.  I can’t remember which but a name came up.  ButterCrackers.com.  He walked up to me and said “that’s my name” .   Hey said it with such a smile and looked so proud of the name that for the rest of the show I called him ButterCrackers.  Half because I couldn’t remember his name but because it was a hilarious domain.  Not too long after I got back I received a package addressed to me at the nursery from Mike.  Yup.  A big box of generic butter crackers.  We’ve been friends ever since.

It shows that just a little something that breaks the ice, starts the conversation, or is memorable could build a relationship. There is no such thing as good old boys club for most attendees.  A smiling face and a handshake will pretty much do the trick. Add that initial meeting to a gathering at night and the stories will flow.  Its amazing what a few beers will do to a conversation.  The bar at the Tropicana is always a great place to start.  You’ll see the who’s who of domain investing there at some point and the evening almost always starts and ends there.

If anyone blows you off then you really didn’t want to work with them anyway.  And don’t get upset if someone ignores you or doesn’t acknowledge you.  Again,  its part of business. I’ve been active for 9 years and dozens of people ignore me in every room I enter. Heck, We didn’t even make the top 10 domain blogs for Daryl Lopes……..yesterday. And there are only 8 active blogs.  Not everyone is going to be your best friend and your new domain friend.  But there will be some that get you.  And those some will make you happier and more profitable because you’ll be able to share information that will make you a better domain investor.  Sure, you could meet them via email but meeting them in person and putting a face to a relationship is always a better start.  NamesCon gives you that opportunity.  4 days of it.

Like I said, the afternoon and evening is where everything happens.  My advice would be to sleep in and stay out late.  It would also be to pace and limit your drinking.  A drink or two to smooth the edges always is good for a conversation but too many and you because known as the drunk guy instead of the guy you’d like to talk more to. Another piece of advice is to bring your story.  People remember who you are by what you do for living or hobby when you’re not domain investing.   Josh is is a paramedic EMT,  Cyger was a Six Sigma expert, Drew Rosener was the fish guy. Everyone was something else when they first started.  If you have a big name , and make sure its really a nice name, make sure people know that.  Steven Kennedy was the Strawberries guy because he was a very young kid at the time but he owned Strawberries.com, or maybe it was Strawberry.  But either way it was how we knew him.   In short, give people something to remember you by.

I know this is socializing 101 but I write this every year to remind people what a great opportunity lies ahead at our biggest conference.  Anyone that thinks they don’t need it is limiting themselves. I don’t think you have to go every year but its a must every couple years IMO.  I can almost guarantee that there will be a relationship or a helpful tip or trick that will pay for the entire trip.  If you think you don’t have time I’ll tell you what my wife says when I say I can’t make it to her parents for the weekend.  “When you really want to do something you always find a way to make it happen. If your friends ask you to somewhere you suddenly are able to get off work.  When I ask you to go to my parents its always an important weekend and you can’t get off.  Make THIS something you really want to do”  So I say the same thing.  Find time.  Make NameCon something you really want to do,  Here are today’s names.  Click through to see the current price and to fund this daily list

  1. I remember one time (11 years ago) Andy put his-domain-at-the-time LG.com on his conference nametag. He was definitely known as “the LG.com guy” at that conference and for several years afterwards.
