How Much Overlap on AI Domain Name Creation?

I sold a two word .com domain name for $4,999 via Afternic last night. The domain name consists of a noun and a verb, and I acquired the domain name for less than $200 in 2018.

Because it’s more of a brandable domain name than an actual term, I think there are similar types of domain names out there that have not been registered. In fact, DomainLeads.com shows only two SLDs registered in the domain name I sold – my .com and the .org domain name. Put simply, I believe this could be fertile ground to explore alternative domain names.

To that end, I used AI tools to try and come up with similar types of domain names I could search in bulk. I would then be able to do some additional research to assess whether any of the available terms are worth registering.

Atom Pay Offers $10 Transaction Fee Through 2025

Atom.com introduced one of the better Black Friday deals I’ve seen offered. The platform is allowing customers to transact with its Atom Pay service for just $10 instead of the 4.5% standard transaction fee. Theoretically, this could be a huge savings depending on the size of deals transacted on the platform.

Outbound Sales? Look for a Trade Organization

I don’t think successful outbound domain name sales is easy. In fact, it can be pretty demoralizing depending on the response to your outbound efforts. From not receiving a reply to being told off, there’s nothing really glamorous about outbound sales.

If you’re looking to sell an industry defining domain name via outbound, I thought I would share a tip to help find prospective buyers that goes beyond what I typically find with Google, DomainLeads, DomainIQ, and AI searches. Find an industry trade organization and reach out to some of the public facing member companies that would benefit from buying the domain name.

Redeem That GoDaddy Monthly Auction Credit

GoDaddy recently announced a new benefit to its Domain Pro program. Domain Pro members receive a monthly $20 auction credit that can be used to pay for GoDaddy Auction purchases. This amounts to $240 in total auction credit value, and I think that is approximately the current annual cost of a Domain Pro membership.

Notably, this monthly benefit is not automatically applied to auctions each month. Members will need to be redeem it manually with a monthly promo code. On the Auctions payment page, there’s a “Have a promo code?” link, and clicking that will allow the buyer to enter this monthly promo code. For November, the code is “NOVPROWIN.”

Cloudflare Outage Impacting Multiple Industry Websites

If you’re having a tough time visiting some domain name industry websites today, you’re note alone. I was checking on something at Atom.com this morning, and I saw this Cloudflare Internal server error message at the top.
