Mike Mann is Hiring

Mike Mann is looking to hire people to help his company sell domain names, according to a tweet he posted earlier today. As he mentioned, this is a commission based opportunity, so the better salespeople have the greater chance to make money selling domain names.

One of the good things about this opportunity

Washington Post Writes About Mike Mann

Thomas Heath of the Washington Post published an article about domain investor Mike Mann, and I thought you might find the article interesting. There have been quite a few articles written  about Mann over the course of the last three years, and while there isn’t much new information shared in this article, there were  some things you might find interesting.

In my opinion, three  of the most noteworthy aspects of the Washington Post article include

Flippa to Host “Exclusive One Day Masterclass”

I want to share the content of an email I just received from Flippa announcing “an Exclusive One Day Masterclass.” The class promises to give students “access to never-before-seen data, tips and insights into how you can make more money from the web in 2015!” The class will be held at Flippa’s San Francisco office on Saturday, November 22, 2014 from 8:30 – 6:00pm.

Flippa currently has a limited time “early bird” offer price of $99 per ticket, and the EventBrite listing says there will only be 30 tickets sold at this price. The regular rate is listed at $499 for this class, which sounds a bit expensive to me.

According to the email, here are some of the topics that will be taught in this class:

Domain Masters Radio Show Relaunches Tonight

The Domain Masters radio show on Webmaster Radio is set to relaunch this evening at 5pm (Eastern timezone). Hosting the show will be NameJet Marketing Manager Scott Pruitt and NameJet General Manager Jonathan Tenenbaum.

Domain Masters was initially created  in December of 2004, and its broadcasts have featured some of the most successful domain investors and domain industry experts like John Berryhill, Richard Lau, Ari Goldberger, Ron Jackson, Mark Ostrovsky, and many others. Monte Cahn, then at Moniker, founded and hosted this weekly radio broadcast. Victor Pitts followed Monte as the host, and Mike Mann hosted Domain Masters  late last year.

Flippa Announces “Website Classifieds”

Flippa is known as a domain name and website marketplace where people can buy and sell domain names via auction. Flippa boasts that there are over 500,000 buyers, and it seems like there are often some pretty solid domain names listed for sale. This morning, the company announced a new offering called “website classifieds,” which allows owners to list their domain names for sale without the auction.

Similar to the current set-up, a domain owner can create a classified listing on Flippa with the same information they currently use for an auction listing. Instead of having an auction that ends on a set date, the listing will stay active for as long as the domain owner would like, up to one year. The domain name or website sale listing “will be included in

Neustar Rings NYSE Opening Bell

Neustar is one of a handful of domain industry publicly traded companies (stock symbol NSR on the NYSE), and representatives from Neustar rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange this morning to open the trading day.  The focus of the event was on the new .NYC domain names, and representatives from the Office of the Mayor of New York City also participated in the bell ringing.

I embedded the video of the NYSE opening bell ceremony, so you can see how  .NYC was promoted at the New York Stock Exchange. Video of the opening bell is generally carried on the financial news networks, and it is often followed by interviews with some of the participants. I am not sure if that happened in this case, but ringing the opening bell gives good exposure to the companies who participated.
