This is the show where we get into the minds of successful domain name investors – people we call Sherpas – and talk about the value of specific domain names. By listening to the Sherpas, we expand our thought process so we can become more successful investors ourselves.
In this DomainSherpa Review:
- We learn what the Sherpas bought or sold recently: Estates.com, Etho.com, Cappuccino.com
- Get your bids in soon for these NameJet auctions: Siz.com, EverGo.com, Je.net….
- We look at today’s momentum in lower end aftermarket vs extended deal cycles in premium domain market and the verticals/keywords to focus on and shy away from during this global pandemic.
- We discuss Thies Lindenthal’s essential Internet Domain Name Index, which pulls 8 years’ worth of private domain transactions for computing domain name valuation, and shows how “domain price changes are very similar to changes in the NASDAQ 100 index, the stock prices of internet giant Google or total revenues from online marketing (US).”
- And much more!
We’re joined by three Domain Sherpas: Brian Harbin, David Clements, and Andrew Rosener.
