Deep dives
The podcast episode features a domain Sherpa crew filming on location in LA and playing the domain game.
During the podcast episode, the domain Sherpa crew gathers in LA and plays the domain game. They mention the special guests and domains that were featured in the game, including flickswave.com, L.A. accident lawyer.com, crypto bro.com, and podcast agency.com. The crew also discusses the auction process, sellers, and the value and branding of certain domain names.
The podcast discusses the importance of verifying bidders and the issue of non-payment in domain auctions.
During the episode, the crew delves into the topic of verifying bidders and the consequences of non-payment in domain auctions. They reflect on past experiences and share their thoughts on how to ensure legitimate bidders participate in auctions. The conversation touches on the challenges faced by auction platforms and the need for transparency and accountability within the industry.
The crew analyzes the impact of plural versus singular domain names on their value.
Another point of discussion in the episode is the influence of plural and singular domain names on their perceived value. The crew examines examples from the name jet list, such as 'cantines' and 'cantine,' and highlights how singular names may be more suitable for branding purposes. This prompts a conversation about the dynamics of product-oriented versus brand-oriented domain names.
Importance of Investing in a Good Domain Name
Nick Huber, the sweaty startup guy, emphasizes the mistake of not investing in a good domain name for businesses. He suggests that even spending $10,000 on a domain name is worthwhile for the long-term success of a business. Huber's message is important not only for domain industry professionals but also for small business owners who may overlook the value of a premium domain name.
Lessons Learned from A Failed Domain Auction Bid
An individual who bid on high-value domain names like Bird and Fish in a RightOfTheDot auction, but failed to pay for them, recently settled the case. This incident led to a discussion on the importance of holding non-paying buyers accountable and verifying the credibility of bidders. The episode highlighted the efforts made by certain industry professionals, like the ICA, to ensure the integrity of domain auctions and protect the reputation of the industry.
As we say on DomainSherpa - all roads lead to domains. And in the reverse, domains have us venturing "down the rabbit hole" for different topics all the time. This is a tech-adjacent, digital asset and pop culture, tangent-positive, monthly-ish podcast - with a bunch of domains stuff thrown into the mix for good measure.
