"Developing" your domains is literally the worst thing you can possibly do as a domain investor.
Horrendous advice that has become even more common with the introduction of AI slop.
@BettyAiProject What a run it was, Rick.
You mustn't forget that your inputs, teachings, and opinions inspired many in this industry all across the world.
Congratulations.
@pcshipp SEO has little to do with your extension in 2026, but for brand positioning and user trust, get a . com, if you can. .ai close second, and .io a worthy mention.
@BettyAiProject Hi Rick, HelicopterCharter .com and HelicopterCharters .com shouldn't be two distinct projects. One should be 301 redirected to the other.
A little more context to the https://t.co/qfTxzxFbRm sale:
I grabbed PrivateLLM at GoDaddy Closeouts in May 2024 and initially had it priced around 7500.
Then I saw the original tweet in this thread and got to thinking about how good a keyword Private was and repriced the name. I saw there were a few startups on worse extensions that helped validate that.
My takeaway is that in this business, it helps to be plugged into the zeitgeist and have an instinct for what makes a great brand. It also helps to pick your spots well and focus on taking good, convicted shots on goal. Some will hit.
Domaining will probably still remain my side thing rather than my main thing, but I will share more and am determined not to let this sale be my apex.
