💡 Today’s Domaining Tip 💡

One of the most overlooked outbound techniques in domaining is using app stores.

Search an exact-match keyword or close variations in the Apple App Store or Google Play, then analyze the apps ranking for those terms.

Go to the app’s information section:

-Developer name
-Website URL
-Contact details
-Company branding

This gives you highly targeted outbound leads already operating in your niche.

Bonus: you can also discover if a domain was previously used by checking old app websites connected to similar brands before acquiring a name.

Useful for:

-outbound targeting
-validating commercial intent
-finding startup buyers
-spotting active industries before trends explode

Have you ever wholesaled a .AI domain?

I haven’t… yet.
So I’m starting to test the .AI wholesale market myself.

Right now I only own around 150 .AI domains, but I want real data before scaling bigger.

I’m starting with 4 categories:

• Premium 1-word
→ https://t.co/OdHHeEoNZC

• 3L
→ https://t.co/fYtkBAYLfl

• Brandable / made-up
→ https://t.co/oLHBThFvav

Curious to see:

Which category moves fastest
What investors actually pay wholesale
Whether liquidity in .AI is real or mostly hype

Have you sold or bought .AI wholesale recently? What’s moving for you?

Yes ser 🫡

So much is happening.
So many opportunities.
So many potential customers everywhere.

If I had AI when I was 20…

The next 3–5 years are a goldmine.
After that? It’ll be a different game.

Young people today have no excuse.

Don’t trust blindly in this industry...

Some of the biggest players are also the biggest rule-breakers. And those who love giving lessons aren’t always the ones setting the best example.

Stay fair.

Setup ready for outbound.

Some will talk.
Others will act.

Guess who gets paid.

💡Today’s Domaining Tip💡

One of the highest-converting outbound emails is surprisingly simple:

“Hey just a quick note to let you know the .com version of your brand is currently available.”

That’s it.

No long pitch.
No hype.
No pressure.

Why this works
It creates awareness, not resistance.

It triggers defensive branding instinct (nobody wants someone else owning their .com).

It feels helpful, not salesy.

In domaining, your job is often just to make the buyer aware of an opportunity or a risk.

Don’t complicate it.

From experience: After sending so many outbound emails, I’ve learned:

✅Short emails outperform long ones.
The more you explain, the more doubt you create.

✅Curiosity > Persuasion.
If they’re interested, they’ll ask the price.

✅Neutral tone converts better than excitement.
“Available” works better than “premium opportunity.”

✅No attachments. No logos. No fluff.

✅Keep it human. One person to another.

AI Agents Will Prefer .COM (And This Is the Big Miss Everyone Makes)
Here’s where most people misunderstand AI.
AI doesn’t replace human behavior. AI learns from it.

💡Domaining Tip of the Day💡

Prediction markets will explode in the next 3–5 years and they’ll need LOTS of domain names.

We’ve already seen the hype with Polymarket. That’s just the beginning.

Why this market is emerging now ⬇️

• Global uncertainty (elections, AI, macro, climate)
• Crowd wisdom > single experts
• Blockchain enables trustless, global betting & forecasting
• Regulations are slowly opening the door
• Big money loves probabilities & signals

Prediction markets are becoming the financial layer of future decision-making.

Why domains matter so much 💰

• Trust & credibility are critical (like betting & finance)
• Keyword domains capture organic traffic
• Strong brands reduce CAC massively
• Multiple domains used for redirects, funnels & brand defense
• This industry has MONEY and understands digital assets

Same pattern as betting, trading & crypto:

👉 serious players secure domains early.

High-value keyword angles 👇

prediction · forecast · predict · signals · outcomes · odds
marketpredict · predictionmarket · futureforecast · cryptoforecast · onchainprediction
predictionhub · marketinsights · futuresignals

📌 Domainer takeaway:
Secure category-defining + keyword-rich domains now.
Demand will come later, thank me later and send me some crypto 😂😂😂 I don't care about your X tags #joke

OpenAI is projecting losses of $14–17B in 2026, largely due to massive compute costs, infrastructure expansion, and model training expenses that outpace revenue.
And honestly? This is great news for our domains. A single hub with a monopoly is never healthy. Decentralization wins. Let’s rock. 🚀

💡 Today’s domaining tip 💡

This chart (Google Trends) shows why “AI” beats almost every other keyword out there.

That’s exactly why I’ve invested in 1,000+ AI domains over the past 4 years.

If you don’t have strong cash flow, don’t waste money chasing other keywords that won’t last.
Yes, I’ve said before that other niches can work but that’s for domainers holding thousands of domains...

Over the next 10 years, there will be one dominant term used everywhere: AI.
Just like cloud, phone, and laptop before it.

For any other niche to work, you need exceptionally strong domains with ultra-premium keywords, otherwise, they simply won’t sell.

Nothing mystical about success.

Show up. Do the work. Repeat.

Do that long enough and results have no choice.

In life, there is no such thing as luck. Luck comes after years of study and practice.
When you see people succeed, you call it “luck.” I do the opposite, I go back and check whether it really was luck or not.

Here’s what I found about Tannane, the Best Goal of the Year: he had tried it many times before in his career. The difference? This time, the stage was the final and he was rewarded.

💡 Today’s Domaining Tip 💡

Treat your domain portfolio like a VC fund, not a lottery ticket.

•Stack the odds with quality: short, memorable, .com-first names in real, growing markets.

•Let data, not emotions, decide what you renew, drop, or double down on (STR, inquiries, repeat visits, type-in traffic).

•Accept that most names won’t sell and price the few winners so they can pay for your entire portfolio and then some.

Domaining is not about owning the most names. It is about owning the few names that matter.

Why Registry Fees Matter to Your Domain Portfolio

The infrastructure behind every .com domain you own is controlled by a single company "VeriSign" and this creates one of the strongest business models on the internet.

Here's why domainers should care:

✅The Toll Road Economics:

VeriSign operates as the exclusive registry for .com and .net domains, managing approximately 171.9 million registrations and processing over 450 billion DNS queries daily. They don't compete with you as a registrar; instead, they collect a fixed annual registry fee from every domain in these extensions. This means their revenue grows automatically as the domain base expands.​

✅Why This Matters to Your Portfolio:

Stability & Reliability 👉 VeriSign maintains 100% uptime across distributed infrastructure in 60+ nations. Your domains won't disappear due to infrastructure failure; the registry ensures every transaction is backed by institutional-grade resilience.​

Pricing Power 👉 VeriSign's exclusive ICANN contracts run through 2030 for .com and 2029 for .net. This means registry fees can only increase within contractual bounds. Unlike new gTLDs that compete on price, your .com and .net holdings benefit from this pricing stability and predictability.​

Perpetual Demand 👉 VeriSign just reported Q3 2025 revenue of $419.1 million (up 7.3% year-over-year) driven by 10.6 million new registrations, up from 9.3 million in Q3 2024. Businesses continue registering .com/.net because they remain the web's default choice. Your domains sit in an asset class that scales with internet growth itself.​

✅The Domainer Takeaway:

While VeriSign profits from the registry layer, domainers profit from the domain layer. The better VeriSign's business performs (growing registrations, price increases), the more valuable the .com and .net namespace becomes. Your portfolio is essentially leveraged to VeriSign's monopoly 🤷‍♂️and that monopoly has never been stronger.

Focus on premium .com domains with strong fundamentals; the infrastructure beneath them is unshakeable.
