I wrote a quick recap of my first ever NamesCon. I don’t like spending money, and for me, this trip was a luxury. Was awesome to bring my son, Jackson (15) with me and spend some quality time with him.
Other notes
This was a topic that came up at NamesCon quite a bit. James Booth talked about sending an initial email then calling on the phone. And be persistent and use a British accent, of course.
I heard others talking about using LinkedIn messaging, sending letters via postal mail (snail mail). These aren’t bad ideas if you’re looking to liquidate your domains.
The issue I have is that I think this will cause you to get a lower price, it stinks of desperation. Of course, perhaps I am wrong. With domains, I think people need to understand the value themselves. When they do, if you own good domain names, then you will have leverage.
I’m going to rant for a moment. Experience domain investors will tell you that your domains suck, that you’re doing it wrong, and some of them will laugh and maybe even ignore you. Do you anyways.
I haven’t added any content to the site since the original 10 articles. One article is drawing some interest, though it’s a “seasonal interest” site. Progress is extremely slow. I’m working on making time to add some more content in coming weeks – probably 1 article every 2 weeks or so, and see how that goes.
