So 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 and special guest Hugo McDonaugh, co-founder and CEO of GBM Auctions (GBM.auction), a bid-to-earn platform where the bidders are incentivized to bid on an asset. When a new bid is placed, the GBM formula calculates how much money that bidder will earn if they are outbid. Every bidder that gets outbid earns an incentive, and the highest bidder at the end of the auction wins, with the seller receiving what is left in the pot. Together, the Sherpas get into how GBM Auctions work and some exciting and groundbreaking things happening with GBM. The Sherpas also discuss how GBM Auctions are now being applied to domain names at GBM.domains, including a few premium domain names being put up for auction by Drew starting this week and running through July 25th.

On this Profitable Flips show, we talk to Mark Levine, a newer individual investor who purchased a series of .io domain names that – as a portfolio – have yielded a 100 percent return on his investment in less than a year with a 23 percent sell-through rate. Given that most domain name investors agree that a 2-3 percent sell-through rate is typical, 23 percent is unbelievable. Listen in as we learn from Levine what types of .io domain names do or don’t sell, what types of end users are buying them, how he sets retail pricing, and how his .io investing tactics are going to change in 2017.

Hardcore Hustling Tactics to Buy and Sell LLLL .com Domains - With Jeffrey Emerick

Mon, 04 Jan 2016 00:05:00 -0700
