Latest Interview
As we say on DomainSherpa – all roads lead to domains. And in the reverse, domains has us venturing “down the rabbit hole” into different topics all the time. This is a tech-adjacent, digital asset, pop-culture, tangent-positive monthly podcast – with some domains stuff thrown into the mix for good measure.
In this episode, JT is joined by Drew, Matt Overman of Identity Digital, and Mike White of Newfold Digital to discuss the domain name aftermarket. Mike manages NameJet and Snapnames on behalf of Newfold, Matt and JT were both previous GMs of NameJet, and Drew was one of NameJet’s power users in the past and they all dive into the platform and how it operates in the domain aftermarket ecosystem. They also discuss the domain name lifecycle, different types of inventory on the platforms, how ccTLDs and gTLDs operate in the aftermarket, and a whole lot more!
So, tune in and jump down the rabbit hole with the Rabbit Hole Gang!

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.

Anyone who buys expiring domain names knows that there are three major auction sites on the Internet. But of the three, NameJet.com is the one that seems to get fantastic domain names on the most regular basis.
In this interview, NameJet General Manager Matt Overman walks us through how private auctions work and describes how you can take advantage of them too.
