In the 90s: I arrived in NYC with just $20. I was homeless in NYC for 18 months. I was denied admission twice into a master's program in NYC. However, I bought my first house in NYC. Earned a Master's degree in NYC. I met my spouse in NYC. Don't accept NO for an Answer
Sales At Atom
I sold
@squadhelp
while getting ready to leave for
@Namescon

#domain
portfolio which could lead to more sales. Congrats to the buyer

Ultra Domain + Patience = Sale
It took 19 years & 50 days for to sell for $30 million. It took 24 years & 5 months for to sell for $1.4 million. There is no point complaining about your unsold
#domain
that was reg/acquired in 2023
IMO, there're still $10,000, $20,000, $50,000 or $100,000
#domain
name available for hand-reg. However, you need to think globe and learn more future demands. I'm currently researching the next hand reg domain that will sell for $100k
INTRODUCTION
There are more than 10,000 domain investors on X (formerly known as
#Twitter
).
In a few words introduce yourself to both new and vet
#domain
investors. GO
Just because you haven't sold a single domain name in over a year or two, doesn't mean you quit! There are thousands of other domain investors in similar situation. Be patient your time of celebration will soon arrive.
The biggest mistake is to quit the domain investing business when things are not going your way. If it takes 32 years to sell a super premium domain name registered in 1990, why should you be in a hurry to sell a name registered in 2021. Success takes time, patience and effort!

"Your domain names sucks." "Your domain names are worthless." Your domain names are pigeon sh..." Negativity and hurtful words are not feedback. Always give constructive feedback, backed by good suggestion on others can improve in their investing.
The Future of .XYZ
I have this positive vibe about .XYZ. In concept, I don't think .XYZ is going away. Rather I think its here to stay. The .XYZ
#domain
registration/renewal is reasonable. A $1.88 Trillion company is still using .XYZ. Startups love .XYZ
Encouragement. Some of us have not sold a single domain name in 2022 or in the past few months. Don't give up. When you feel like hanging up your
#domain
hat, keep researching, keep your outbound going, keep networking & be patient. Your time of celebration will come.

I get really excited when other domain name investors sale domain for $100 or $110,000, because they are proving to the naysayers that
#domain

KEEP YOUR GPT DOMAIN
"The U.S. Patent & Trademark Office has denied OpenAI’s attempt to trademark “GPT,” ruling that the term is “merely descriptive” & therefore unable to be registered. It’s a blow to OpenAI’s branding." I own 3 GPT related
#domain
names. Do you own any?
Few months ago I set a goal of having 100 brandable
#domains
listed on
@brandbucket
by December 31. As of today I have 109 brandable domains listed on BB. My next goal is to get to 500 by June 2022. Submitting names to BrandBucket has helped improve my naming skills. Thanks BB
If you haven't sold any domain name, don't worry it will happen. There was a 5 to 7 years gap between my first and second sales. Keep yourself busy until you get that email that reads, "your domain name has sold." Thank you for your patience.

A lot of
#domain

If you own a single word .XYZ domain name, taken in more than 45 extensions, do not be in a hurry to sell. It's better to wait & sell to right end-user who knows the value of a great name, than sell for less day. Oftentime, it takes time for a great domain name to sell
myOpinion
I learned so much about .XYZ extension at
#Namescon
. IMO, .XYZ is worth writing about. I will be renewing some of my .XYZ names. Lastly, I will be dedicating a chapter to XYZ in my next book "EVOLUTION"

If you haven't made any domain sale in the past 6 to 9 months, I will encourage YOU to try outbounds (email) or pickup the phone & make that call. The only any thing that YOU have to lose is not trying. Outbounds worked for me in 2002, it will work for YOU in 2022. Go & TRY IT
Opinion
85% of your domain investing portfolio should be .com. Remember, .com is the default
#domain
name extension of choice for global businesses. The other 15% of your investing portfolio should comprise TLDs (ccTLD, gTLD, etc.) that
#investors
or end-users see value.

$6,895 for Hand-reg Domain?
Hard to believe, but true. There are 1000s of good
#domain
names available for hand-reg. Some of these names could sell for $895 to $6,895 in a few years. I'm about to go into the mine to find 3 good names that could sell for up to $4,895 (each) later
PLEASE don't listen to naysayers, believe in your ideas & follow ur dream. One of the biggest regrets in life is not trying. If U have idea for a Book, write it. If U have an idea for a business give it a try. Don't let negativity stop U. I received the 1st copy of my BOOK today
