I was chatting with a friend last week, and he asked about how business has been for me during the pandemic. Thankfully, business has been fairly strong, all things considered.

While it is unusual for me to see very strong sales numbers in July, it is not unusual to have ebbs and flows throughout the year.
Tucows Job: Sr. Product Marketing Manager – Domains
I saw a job opportunity posted on LinkedIn that might be of interest to a domain industry professional. Tucows is looking to hire someone for the position of Senior Product Marketing Manager – Domains. The job will be based out of the company’s Toronto, Canada office, although I am unsure if Tucows employees have returned to the office due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Here’s an excerpt from the job listing about the job opportunity:

Favorite Search on NameBio
I use NameBio on a regular basis for blog research as well as general domain investment research. The domain name sales data dating back many years has considerable value to me because it is helpful when writing blog posts and when buying or selling domain names. When NameBio announced its membership program, I immediately took advantage of the saved search functionality.
