I don’t do a ton of outbound marketing to sell my domain names. Not only can outbound be a bit disheartening, but it’s also generally not the best way to get top dollar for domain names. Obviously, I prefer to negotiate with prospects who have expressed an interest in my domain names.
That being said, I used Grok and ChatGPT to help me sell a descriptive domain name a couple of weeks ago, and I wanted to share the prompts that I used to find buyers, contact information, and to craft an email.
Domain name parking hasn’t been great for quite some time, but it recently took a major hit with recent Google updates. ParkLogic, which is operated by Michael Gilmour, is a business that specializes in domain name monetization. I have not used its platform, but the company helps domain investors monetize and sell domain names.
I was recently invited to participate in a session to showcase some of its new offerings, but I was unable to attend due to a conflict. In advance of NamesCon, the company is hosting to virtual sessions for domain investors to learn about its platform.
Spaceship announced a big milestone this morning. The registrar now has more than 5 million domain names under management (DUM). This metric is used to compare the size of a domain registrar, and it can also be used to show growth. In fact, the company highlighted that it only took two months to go from 4 to 5 million DUM:
5 million domains, infinite futures: all in perfect harmony.
Spaceship’s evolving faster, because your trust is behind it.
Ideas, visions, progress – you’ve made it possible.
Let’s continue to grow, side by side💙
P.S. It took less than two months to grow from 4 to 5… pic.twitter.com/KhbBCkDTd2

There’s a major AWS outage that is causing problems for websites and web-based services around the world. GoDaddy is one of those businesses that is impacted by the outage, I learned this afternoon.
When I visited one of my Afternic-listed domain names that resolves to a GoDaddy landing page, the incorrect landing page was shown. Instead of the newer “custom” landing page with BIN, Make Offer, and Lease to Own options shown, the older BIN landing page was displayed. This particular landing page doesn’t include camel casing.
