Buy Domain Names

In today’s interview, Aron Meystedt describes valuation ranges not only for two- and three-letter domain names (e.g., AA.com, BN.com), but also for two- and three-number domain names (e.g., 16.com, 144.com).

While DJI.com sold for $300,000 and 114.com sold for $2.1 million, both in July 2013, one is likely an outlier. Find out which in this interview.

Also in this interview is an opportunity to sell LL.com, LLL.com, NN.com and NNN.com domain names through Heritage Auctions to their 800,000 registered users.

You are probably like today’s guest: You learned about the Internet and domain names in 1995 or 1996, but domain names were expensive and “the good ones” were taken. Although Shane Cultra dabbled in domaining, he mainly considers his fruitless investment during that time to be part of his learning curve.

By 2007, Cultra had figured out what makes domain names “liquid” such that they can be sold more readily in domain name aftermarkets and auction sites. By doing so, Cultra earned six figures in 2012 from domain name investing – in addition to his full-time job running Country Arbors Nursery in Urbana, Illinois.

In this show, Cultra shares his methodology for determining and valuing “liquid domains,” as well as his sweet spots for buying and selling, and how he finds and sells through his favorite marketplace platforms.

Even though some people see domaining as a highly speculative business, I hope we can agree that if you play it the right way, it’s not speculative at all.
 
So how can we apply the investments principles of Warren Buffet (the greatest investor of all times) to domain names?

Carlos Aguilar asked a question recently on an interview with NameJet’s general manager, Matt Overman.

He asked: “[C]an you explain on a video on how you setup [email notifications of NameJet saved searches]?”

Here’s a screenshot walk-through of how to setup email notifications for NameJet saved searches, which should be faster than a video.
