What is strange is the price of just about everything else is going up. The only other thing I can think of that the price is dropping is Marijuana. Could it just simply be that there are more digital products to invest in now, like NFT's, and Crypto, so people are putting more money into those things, and maybe even playing the stocks too, rather than spending money on a domain name?

 

[vitrudotcom]

Great observation! Yes, the evolving digital landscape with NFTs and crypto does indeed attract significant investment. While domains face increased competition, their unique value in establishing online presence and branding remains. In my view, it's about finding the right niche and effectively communicating the enduring worth of premium domains. What strategies do you think can help domains stand out amidst these emerging digital investments?

 

[ibuyandselldomains]

There are multiple answers to that question. I would say invest in 4 letter or less com only 3 letter or less com net or org, and com only one and 2 word keyword rich dictionary words would be a good start for a beginner, or good for most domainers period. I am leasing to own pictures.net right now. Its a good name. Its probably worth about 30k. Com I could see fetching 6 to 700k. I would say that between 3 and 400k would be the magic number though. And I would say about 20 to 25k would be the magic number for pictures.net but its worth way more than that to me.

Solid advice on domain investments! Pictures.net, with its concise and memorable name, holds great potential as a versatile and marketable domain in the visual content and photography space. It's a great name suitable for diverse applications such as multimedia sharing platforms, graphic design resources, or even a community hub for creative enthusiasts. And now, in the trending area of generative AI ventures within the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence and creative algorithms.

I agree. Pictures are also digital products. I am not big on net, com is still King, but a name as good as pictures.net I couldn't pass up. I am one of the greatest domain name appraisers of All Time. I appraise domain names for free. If anybody wants me to appraise one of their domain names, feel free to send me a DM, or if you want me to appraise a domain that you are looking to buy, or whatever the reason please DM me. My phone number is 541-219-2020, and on January 1st 2024 I am launching a free instant domain name appraisal business. I will give free domain name appraisals to anybody who wants one. I can tell you how much it is worth on the spot. I am one of the best domain name appraisers of all time. Maybe even the very best ever.

 

[vitrudotcom]

pictures.net is indeed a gem, and your expertise in domain appraisal is impressive.

 

[ibuyandselldomains]

Thanks. I have over 20 years experience in it... I am not bragging about how good I am. I want everybody who wants a domain name appraisal to be able to always get it done for free. I am one of the very best domain name appraisers out there, and I will always appraise domain names for free. There is no sense paying for something that you can get for free.

 

[ibuyandselldomains]

Do you own virtu.com ? I can see it selling for 60k. It's not out of its range at all. A million is a stretch though, but still not out of its range. I would say the magic number on that one would be somewhere around 35k or so.

Hi

some things, like poor advice, even when given for free, isn't worth taking or heeding to it.
especially when coming from someone without a proven track record for the claims they make.

also, since you are leasing "pictures.net",
then that means you don't own it until all payments have been made.

therefore, i suggest you limit further promotion or speculation here, as you already have an open appraisal thread for it.

imo....

I have been appraising domain names for over 20 years. I have been a certified domain name appraiser since 2004. I think my track record speaks for itself.

 

[ibuyandselldomains]

Nobody owns any domain names they have, unless they are with a company like network solutions and pay the renewal for the next 100 years. If you don't pay the renewal you lose it. You just rent domains by paying the renewal to keep them. You really don't understand that, do you?

Hi

lol

who certified you?

also, you aren't the legal registrant until domain is transferred to you, after you pay the lease in full.

It isn't much harder to sell domain names now, than it used to be. You just have to own ones that are worth investing in. It also doesn't make it easier to sell them, in most ways, with all the new tld's.

Hi

i've had hundreds of sales and didn't have to do any strategic marketing.
only marketing if any, is to list on various aftermarket platforms and let them do the work for us.

the key to success is having domains that buyers are looking for.
this way, you don't have to spam unsuspecting victims with email solicitations to buy your domains.

imo...

Too many TLDs.

Yeah.It's like printing too much money.

Although we're biased, listing on marketplaces will give your domain the best visibility in front of potential buyers & therefore the marketing is built in!

Quality of domain, landing page & payment options matter.
