Share Your Success Story

I frequently write about large domain name sales and smart domain name acquisitions. One thing that I would like to write more about is success stories involving descriptive keyword domain names. I am sure there are people who are doing well with business development on keyword domain names, and I would be happy to share your story.

I’ll give you an example. Sol Orwell shared insight about his success with Examine.com, and I thought the discussion that followed on Hacker News were interesting.

Information that I think would be beneficial include some of the following:

  • Revenue and traffic numbers
  • Marketing / advertising spend and efforts
  • Capital raising and growth funding
  • Social aspect
  • Personal stories about starting building the business
  • Complications and how you overcame them

Obviously people who read the articles will have quite a bit to gain from these stories, and I also think the entrepreneurs who are willing to share may gain as well. I believe sharing is a good way to get outside insight from others based on what was shared, and the best part is that the advice is free.

If you have a success story to share, please get in touch. It doesn’t have to be a mega success story like Hotels.com, but even a moderately successful website (like DogWalker.com) would make for interesting reading for me and for other people who read this blog. If you know of someone killing it with their keyword domain name, let me know and I will see if I can get in touch, too.

As a means of gauging interest, would you want to read some success stories involving keyword domain names? What types of information would be beneficial if it were to be shared with us.
