Finding End Users for New Domain Name Extensions

16/07/09 4:51 PM

Larysa Mykhas, an associate of Brands-and-Jingles, tipped me off to a press release her company recently wrote about the .me domain name extension. Brands-and-Jingles is a domain name company which has successfully invested in .me domains. One notable sale I’m aware of that Brands-and-Jingles had earlier this year was LUV.me which they sold for 6200 EUR ($8600+ at the time of sale).

Even if you’re not a .me investor, the press release is well worth checking out. It’s very well put together — quality information presented aesthetically which is both comprehensive and easy to understand. Every domainer dealing in lesser known domain name extensions should take the time to put together something like this if they plan on targeting end users. Even if you’re dealing with an established domain name extension like .com, why not put together an information package for potential buyers? Another thing any domainer targeting end users should have is a website.

If you think that most end users will find you via whois, Namepros or DN Forum, you still have a lot to learn. When I had a contact link visible on this blog, I would get 1-2 end users and 4-5 domainers inquiring about purchasing LLLL.coms every month — even at times when I hadn’t made a mention in weeks that I was selling anything. I’ve had  people ask me to broker their short domains and partnership offers on website development projects. Almost every top SEO today recommends that most businesses have a corporate blog. You will not only increase traffic to your website by doing this but also establish yourself as a real person, someone people can trust, and someone who will do right by them.

    I just sold a .Me domain to an end user on Sedo for $500 a few days ago. The funny thing is that I sent out my email pitches in April without a peep. Three months later and a sale. End users do not think like domainers. Domainers are forced to think on a whim when names go into auction and such. End users, the ones who are actually building on the names, are on a completely different timeline.

    Completely agree Lisa and congrats on the .me sale :)

  3. James Says:

    Well .ME are perfect for branding:
    LasVegas.me , Love.Me, Insure.Me, Loan.Me Youand.Me.
    I am not surprised over the success.

    Thanks James. Yes, they are very brandable and names like the ones you listed certainly have the potential to build popular websites around.
