How to Explain TLDs to “Non-Domainers”

How to explain TLDs to non-domainersBL

What is a domainer? The term “domainer” is slang, but is commonly used to refer to someone who buys and sells domains and otherwise does more with domains than the average internet user. Though you may not feel like it, you may be seen as a domainer when you buy that first TLD through DCC. This can be a good thing, allowing you to connect with other domainers and enter a networking world and marketplace with more opportunities. But it can also be seen as intimidating. People may assume that its impossible to get benefits from domain purchases or use without diving deep and becoming a “domainer.”

To avoid this, here are a few tips on how to explain TLDs to make the domain world seem less intimidating:

Ease of Access

Domains don’t need to be intimidating because they are so easily accessed by anyone who wants to get started. By joining DCC, members can easily search for and  buy the domain they want with a few clicks of the mouse. Up front pricing without markups through DCC means new users don’t have to jump through hoops to find out the true pricing of a domain, it’s right in front of them.

Your Background

One way to put others considering domains at ease? Tell them how you got started. Everyone has to start somewhere, so share your background and even share all that you didn’t know before you started buying and selling domains. Humanizing our story makes domaining more approachable.

Education

The internet and this blog are full of resources for those who want to know more about domaining. Unlike investing in other opportunities, theres no need to pay someone to tell you how to invest or make money with domains. Start compiling links to your favorite resources to learn more about domains and direct beginners to them. Also have those intersted browse www.domaincostclub.com to learn more about domaning and the type of business person or networker that its best for.

Services through DCC

Another great way to get over the intimidation factor of domaining is to join a program like DCC. With the DCC membership its easy to search for and buy domains through DCC, no need to go to several different sites and compare prices. DCC prices are the lowest offered through the registrar. DCC also offers services like at-cost renewals and transfers. Not sure what this means? DCC explains for you on the website along with all the other benefits you get just for being a member. So if you know someone considering the domain world for investing, explain that it’s not hard to be a domainer and they’re just a few away steps with the help of DCC.

Beyond these personal benefits of being a member, here are a few more benefits of being an affiliate for DCC that you and all other members and “domainers” will get.

1. News of TLD Releases

gTLDs have been gradually released by ICANN, the governing body of the domain industry, since 2008. New are still being released and are released at different set dates. Often times, these new TLDs have special pricing associated with their release. With so many new TLDs being released, it can be hard to keep track of what to wait for next unless you have a reliable news source. Look no further than DCC for your news of TLD releases. Simply navigate to https://www.domaincostclub.com/tlds.dhtml to see what domains are avaialble and what is coming up next, as well as pricing. Anyone has access to this page, so if you know someone interested in getting started with exciting new TLDs, this is a powerful page to share.

2. Domain Transfers

Even if you weren’t lucky enough to originally purchase your domain through DCC, you can still transfer it to DCC for no additional cost. DCC offers all members at-cost transfers with no markup on renewals, unlike other registrars. When it’s time to renew, take advantage of DCC pricing, or get started with an entirely new domain for a great price.

3. Bounties

If someone you tell about DCC decides to become a member, you get what DCC calls a bounty, also known as a commission. Bounties are one-time commissions that reward you each time someone you know signs up to become a member with DCC. Bounties reward you for sharing your smart choice to join DCC with others.

How to Use Twitter for Marketing

How To use twitter for marketing

 

Twitter can be a powerful tool for marketing. Although 140 characters can limit some of your ideas, it forces you to be more creative and more to the point. Twitter is a basic, no frills social network because of its character limit, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have much to offer. Read on to learn how to use Twitter for marketing  and how you can use some of their best features to your advantage for business.

Lists

Following people on Twitter allows you to see what they have to say as well as encourage a follow-back to improve your follower numbers. But if you follow too many people, it can be hard to see the information you want. You don’t have to stop following people, but you do have to start using Lists to curate information you want. Lists allow you to sort people you follow by interest, topics, customers, etc. After your add one or multiple accounts to a list, you can then click on that list to view only the tweets from people on that list. You also have the option of making lists private or public. Public lists allow others to subscribe to them and can be a good way to build your presence on Twitter. Consider adding accounts to an interest list like “marketers” and others may follow. Private lists are better for things you might not want to people to know, like if you’re adding accounts to a “Potential Customers” list.

Hashtags

While lists help you to sort users on Twitter, hashtags help you to sort content. Hashtags can also help to get your tweets seen by more users than just those who follow you. Consider hashtags to be like a keyword in a search. People can type #internetmarketing into Twitter search bar and see accounts and tweets that use that term. Similarly, you can use that or any hashtag in your own content to ensure you get seen when people do a search. Try out a few hashtags for their popularity before you use them. Search a hashtag on Twitter to see how frequently people use it. This will give you an idea of the conversation going on around that hashtag and the level of interest in it.

Video

Videos from YouTube now play in steam on Twitter. What this means is that people don’t have to leave Twitter to watch a YouTube video you share. They can simply click play and the video will play right on Twitter. This is great for you because if you post a video, it keeps them on your profile and encourages them to share your tweet. Consider adding your own tutorial and promotional videos to your tweets to use this feature.

Photos

Like Facebook, photos make a post more powerful. In the old days of Twitter, you could only link to an outside service to show a photo, now photos show right in steam. Always try to include a photo with your tweet when you can, it will drive interest and make your account seem more professional.

10 Reasons We Love gTLDs

gTLD

 

Domain Cost Club is built on the accessibility that generic top level domains (gTLDs) give the domain world. How do these gTLDs work? In the early days of TLD, countries around the world were each granted their own TLD, usually an abbreviation of their country name. These are referred to as ccTLDs. People had the ability to buy the ccTLD for their country or purchase another top level domain (TLD) like .org or .com. With such few options, pricing was high for these domains and the options to creatively brand were low. In recent years, the governing body of the domain industry, ICANN, began releasing generic domains, gTLDs, opening up the domain industry and internet like ever before. Still not convinced why you should be interested in these gTLDs?

Here are a few reasons we love them:

1. Branding

gTLDs give you the option to brand your entire web address, not just the root domain. With the right TLD you can brand your domain as “www.sonnys.restaurant” rather than just www.sonnysrestaurant.com. This allows for a shorter domain and tells your website visitor what your site is all about before even hitting your landing page. Consider all the ways you can brand your business or yourself now that you don’t have to work around (or pay for!) .com.

2. Price

gTLDs are available for yearly registration for varying amounts. A browse around the DCC website shows that we offer domains for just a few dollars per year to closer to $100 per year. But despite some of these prices, most gTLDs are less expensive than .coms. Additionally, gTLDs let you experiment in the domain world without breaking your budget.

3. Fun

Have fun with gTLDs like .ninja, .coffee, and .flowers. These domains let you brand your business or just have fun! There’s nothing fun or special about .com, but unique gTLDs let you have fun with your domain and connect with your website visitors in a new way.

4. Possibilities

What ending are you interested in for a gTLD? Chances are, it exists. If you’re looking for just the right branding or the domain name that will get stuck in everyone’s head, look to gTLDs to fill those needs. Don’t feel locked in by a few choices between .org and .com, with gTLDs the possibilities are nearly endless. Even better, you can buy many of the gTLDs right through DCC. DCC is where possibility and access meet for these great gTLDs.

5. Access

Thanks to their price point and sheer number of possibilities, many people have access to gTLDs. This means you have the opportunity to do business with and share domains with many people. Build your portfolio with less expensive domains and help others get started by purchasing their new gTLDs through you. Or, share with others the great pricing available through DCC and get them started on their path to building a portfolio–while earning a bounty yourself!

6. Memorability

Unique and fun gTLDs can often transform into memorable domain names. Having .com at the end of your web address can make it forgettable. With the right gTLD, like .digital or .marketing you can make your web address even more memorable without having to do additional work.
