Domain Sales

One of the multitude of ways to use AI tools to sell domain names is for lead generation. A tool like ChatGPT can help find targeted prospective buyers for domain names, and I will share an example.

I want to proactively sell a domain name I think will become a good marketing tool for a real estate agent. A Google search of real estate agents in the town brings back many results, but all of the top results are for the largest real estate brokerages and platforms like Zillow and Realtor.com. Clicking through to listings is time consuming, and it brings me to contact forms on these same platforms.

Instead of using Google to find prospective real estate agent buyers, I plugged a prompt into ChatGPT to identify who might be the best prospects:

According to a post on X linking to a press release on CoinDesk, the 45.com domain name has been reportedly acquired for $1.8 million.

Serial entrepreneur and investor Jason Calacanis announced the recent acquisition of Begin.com. Jason didn’t share the acquisition price, but he did mention this is a “$1m+ domain name.”

According to a post on X, the Slash.com domain name was acquired for $1 million. I understand the domain name was acquired with the help of Rob Schutz from Snagged.com:

I was told the domain name was acquired in an all-cash deal. The full payment was already made by the buyer.

Paul Rubillo shared some details about a deal he struck for the Diversification.com domain name. When the deal concludes, it will be valued at more than $1 million. Paul shared that the buyer paid some cash and will be paying for the domain name via future payments and revenue share. In addition, Paul also retained some equity in the new business and could capitalize on future sale proceeds.

When sharing the news with me, Paul mentioned that it was a “Rick Schwartz-inspired deal.”

Paul commented on the sale of this domain name via LinkedIn:
