DomainSherpa Review – August 21, 2025 – Skills to Pay the Bills

DomainSherpa Review is the flagship show on the DomainSherpa Network where we get into the minds of successful domain name investors – who we call Sherpas – and talk about the value of domain names. By listening to the Sherpas, we expand our knowledge and understanding so that we can become more successful domain investors ourselves.

In this episode:

• The Sherpas play The Domain Game (starting at the 17:23 mark) where they guess what certain domains were bought and sold for by the Sherpas and discuss the reasons behind their evaluations. Today’s domains are AresFunding.com, Speed.ai, Pay.ca, and StrikeTeam.com.
• They review a list of domains about to come up for auction on NameJet.com, including Lancer.com, PrivateClasses.com, ComfortSystems.com, and Mime.org.
• The Sherpas discuss how they evaluate domain pricing and purchases, and how comparable and competing options inform their decisions.
• They also discuss the relevance of exact-match domains—whether they still hold value in today’s changing search landscape, where AI tools are reshaping how people find information online.
• Make sure you go to NamesCon to sign up for NamesCon Global 2025, which takes place in Miami on November 5-6 and don’t forget to apply the 20% DomainSherpa promo code: DS20.
• Also, DomainSherpa is now integrating with Muse.ai for episode transcripts and an AI-driven video player to easily look for topics, words, phrases, etc., and jump to the points in the video where they occur. Let us know your feedback!
• Plus, all DomainSherpa podcasts are now up on our YouTube channel at DS.tv, and much more!

JT is joined by Josh, Braden, and Rob Schutz!!
