Domain Name Investment Startups’ EBook

image by www.techtrendsng.com

In the recent time around the world, there are multiple startups coming up in thousands into various online business niches; the inflows are on daily basis, and with the intention of making good cash online in their mind. But those I’m much more concerned about on this write up are especially; domain name startups and their virtual or digital world they tend to enter. Yes! It is a good thing for people to get into business of their choice.

Main reason of writing this material is to correct many of them who are having good intention; but with wrong approaches, those that are having wrong approaches, in the sense that many of them do not have the prerequisite knowledge of the business of their choice. They just dived headlong into the business without first making the necessary research; they ignored the visibility studies and formal training as to how they could run the business successfully.

This article is written on the above subject matters, based on common agitations I received from various domain names’ social sites and on popular demands from those sites members on how could startups make a good entrance into domain business. 

Domain name business is a kind of business that looks very simple, yes, it looks simple but, it really, really sucks. It sucks in the sense that the startups thinks about the token amount they could spend for registrations and with the hope of making huge sales as soon as they register a domain name. 

Look, dear fellow domain investment startups, you need to learn so many things that makeup good premium domain names. The buyers or end users are not ready to waste their hard earned money for scraps or what are recognized as “dog shits”. Any domain you intend to register must really be a premium valuable property, before anyone can demand for it. If it is so easy, everybody could as well go online and register premium domains for their private businesses or make wealth by so doing.

Patience is a Valuable Trait for Domain Investor

Patience is another major trait for every successful investor, even if you are into Chinese premium domain types or western domain trading; you still need some level of patience. For instance, the old possessed premium chips are more valuable and easy to sell than the new ones, though, you will find buyers for any premium chips; either old or new, but the old one are more costly and valuable than the new ones.

What Makes Premium Domain Names:

Please consider the following factors to register or to buy from the aftermarket:

Western Types or Keyword Domain Names:

·         Number of Google searches for keywords or terms within GTLDs or new gTLDs

·         Reasonable Cost-per-Click of online advertisements that include the TLD as a keyword

·         Number of registered extensions like .com, .net etc domains that include the nTLD at the end of the keyword (e.g. forsale.com as compared with for.sale)

• Above all “Short” is a major factor of premium domains, if it is not keyword, I.e

Dictionary words are the best premiere premium domain names. Hence, they are no longer availabl. Keyword, Exact match and Brandables are the next options.

You can get all of the above factors on Google Tool Planner. You only need to have Gmail inbox address to register with Google planner tools.

Forbes 1000 World’s Billionaires - Why Are there none Domain Investor on that List?

http://i.huffpost.com

Having viewed through the list of 1000 World Billionaires on forbes website; I could not find anyone among domain investors on that list, and from hence, I have being asking myself series of questions as to why not a single domain investor on that list. There are several people running minor businesses that could not be compared to domain investment on that list.

There are people from differs background and professions and some that I could recognize as petty sales personnel such as iced cream and coffee sellers on that list. Could it mean domain business is not so dynamic and lucrative, that no one among domain investors could make that list? What baffles me was that, on several occasions, I have heard of many sales of domains worth six and seven figures; even written in black and white on dnjournal’s and namebio.com, same on sedo’s market list and on dnsalesprce.com.  Are there no more domains that could afford any one among domain gurus and genius to make that list?

The Best ccTLD for Chinese Domain Investors is .CC

Among all ccTLDs, there is one country code that is much more referenced by the Chinese investors; the .CC extension of Cocos (keeling) Island is their choice of country codes. I see many reasons for that, as it may not be far-fetched behind the so many acronymic meanings it has on internet environment and also in various human endeavors.

The internet citizen fellows love using short forms on their many online dealings, the .cc has meaning for country codes, cycling, cyclone or cyclical and clip converter etc; clip converter is  a free online apps that enables downloading and conversion of YouTube videos.  .CC is also well recognized as a very popular extension among Church Community and being used as the short form for Conference Centers, and Chat Clubs etc.

What Are The Quad Premium Domains

Image by cloudfront.net

In the recent time, internet has taken several new dimensions, hence 2014 when the ICANN began the release of multiple new domains’ extensions into the market. The dimension taken by them was with the claim that startups were no longer getting good names for their online presence, due to buyout of all good generic names in the market, and those available in the aftermarket are unaffordable for startups. 

But to God be the Glory, it has gone far, far beyond human manipulations in this year 2015 alone, domain investment has taken a new curve beyond human imaginations; the ICANN release tends to be a deliberate intention for a purpose claimed that the internet is getting saturated and that new extensions were the solutions. Though, new extensions made marks and still making marks, but emergence of the Chinese in the industry is making a big difference that no human could categorically predict or envisage how lasting the trend could be. Though, there are some levels of fear of falling of price, but I bet you, the trend does not look like it will fall soon, based on many reasons behind the risen of the market price.

Never the less, my prediction is not a guaranty for any investment attempt. Please I am talking strictly based on my research and no more. But I believe that if you invest on .com and .com alone, there will be no absolute loss out. Domain business has been before the ongoing emergence of the Chinese sudden surged in the market.

What are the factors that makes quad premium domains?

So on the above note, I realized the need to bring those factors for many domain name investors, especially, the startups and probably the end users who cares to know what are the factors that makes premium quad domains. With my studies on so many domain name sites and blogs, I brought you the below factors as found them for you, so that you can better learn the intricacies of making good investment decisions to success.

There Are Sub Categories of Quad domains: 

I believe in the facts as written by LLLL.domains on their website, but for purpose of comprehension; I have my own addition and subtraction to make it more desirable. 

Quad – is “four” or “4”, in the case of words; it means the combination of four letters. Or 4 number digits, in the case of numeric and mixed of letters and numbers, it then have the combination combos as the case may be, to make up quad domains. 

Types of Quad domains and Extensions

LLLL.ccTLD types LLLL.coms types LLLL.net types LLLL,info types LLLL,org types LLLL.NgTLD types

NNNN.ccTLD types NNNN.coms types NNNN.net types NNNN,info types NNNN.org types NNNN.NgTLD types

Sub-Categories:

Old or Aged Quads: Are the domains that were registered before or in year 2000.

 English or Western Non-premium Quad Domains: 

Are domains that includes non premium letters; in the western or English language, the following 9 letters are considered to be non premium letters because they do not appear frequently in English language: J, K, Q, U, V, W, X, Y and Z. Every domain that includes alphabets B, C, D, F, G, H, L, M, N, P, R, S and T are premium letters or good and thus good domains. Visit domainsherpa.

What is Chinese Quad Chips:
 

There are 5 vowels A, E, I.O, U and V which are not good for Chinese according to their native background. Chinese investors can only invest on names that include 20 letters as listed: B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, W, X, Y and Z.

Can you imagine that a Chinese domain investor Xiao Ping Guo was arrested for registration of a domain name with western letters and vowels, because it was against Pinyin protocol and ethics, in accordance to the laws and regulations of their Clans in the Republic of China?

Western Quad Numeric:

There is nothing Like Western Quad Numeric: The common believe is that all quads numeric are four in combination combos. It may be any numeric domains, be it all “zeros” or “4”or whatever combinations.

Chinese Quad Premium or Chip Domains:
Chinese are a typical native people who have meaning for every letter or number.  They have the strong believe that those meaning matters to them and thus have influence in whatever they do.

Their Chip domain names does not include vowels - A, E, I, O, U and letter “V”, because letter “V” is not available in Chinese Pinyin and syllables. Chinese premium quad domains are consonants combination combos, consonants are their premium letters and prefer to buy any domain that are in that format and in any extension of their choice.

However, the domains that include non premium letters are not taken serious and recognized as non Chip and low in values.

Numeric Domains:

Their numeric domains also have chip and non chip category. Chip or Premium numeric are those that does not include “double zeros” (00) or “single zero” (0) and number “four” or “4” though, they are in some cases consider single zero, if it comes as the last digit of the quad combo, example 1130.com, or 2310.com etc. Any domain that include double zeros are non premium and thus, a no go area for them. They recognized such as abomination in their native clans, because it has negative effect in their native believe.

Final Note:

However, all of the above laws or believes does not affect any pronounceable domains, if any domain is non premium or chip for Chinese clans, such could be premium for western clans. But the issue is that, the Chinese premiums are hotcake in the market today, and very liquid than the western quads. Premium Chips are Liquid in the sense that, you can buy them today and sell it in the next few days at a higher and profitable price.
