Daily Poll: Did You Submit Domain Names to the NamesCon Auction?

14

The NamesCon extended domain name auction is ongoing at NameJet. It looks like there is a little more than one day remaining in the auction, and it seems like most of the highest valued domain names have not yet met reserve prices.

For today’s poll question, I am curious if you submitted domain names for inclusion in this year’s NamesCon auction. Vote in the poll below:


Daily Poll: How Much is Your Most Valuable Domain Name Worth?

15

Everyone loves their domain names. Some were won in difficult bidding wars and others were bought after long and sometimes challenging negotiations. Most of us buy domain names because we think they have more upside than the purchase price.

I am curious to know what you think your most valuable domain name is worth. You are invited to share what you think your most valuable domain name is and are also welcome to share what you think the name is worth in the comment section and within the poll.


Daily Poll: How Many Names Do You Hand Register Each Year?

3

I have never spent a lot of time and money hand registering domain names. Perhaps it is to my detriment, but I also don’t think I would have the patience to find unregistered and available domain names to buy. I think I hand registered just one domain name so far this year (UpForEverything.com). It would be interesting to see what others’ buying habits are.

Today’s poll question asks how many domain names you hand register each year. You are also welcome to share what types of domain names you look to hand register – ie new extensions, trending domain names, potential trend domain names…etc. Vote in the poll below and share your thoughts!


Daily Poll: What Rate of Return Do You Expect on Domain Investments?

9

When buying or registering a domain name, most people have a sales price in mind. Some people hand register names they hope to sell for a few hundred dollars and others buy names for thousands of dollars and hope to get a 50% ROI (less than 1x) on their investment.

Today’s poll question asks what rate of return you expect to achieve on your domain name purchases. You are invited to vote in the poll below and I encourage you to post additional thoughts in the comment section.


Daily Poll: Do You Own Emoji Domain Names?

7

There was a lot of talk about emoji domain names in 2017. Even Vice News covered Emoji domain names.

Today’s poll question is Do You Own Emoji Domain Names? You are invited to vote in the poll below and are welcome to share additional thoughts in the comment section.


Daily Poll: What Auction Platform Do You Use Most for Sales?

5

Every day, I look at domain name auction platforms to see what is coming up for auction. I actively bid on GoDaddy Auctions and NameJet, and I occasionally bid on Sedo, DropCatch.com, and a couple of others. I also sell domain names occasionally via auction. Millions of dollars worth of domain names are sold via auction platforms each year.

Today’s poll question is What Auction Platform Do You Use Most for sales? You are invited to vote in the poll below and are welcome to share additional thoughts in the comment section.
