Identify a Strategy Before You Buy Your Domain

Identify a Strategy before you buy your domain BL

 

With affordable pricing and innumerable options, it can be easy to want to buy every new .TLD out there. But do you know what you will do with them? Having a plan for your domain is important, because it allows your to get the best value and ensure a return on your domains, whether that’s traffic and a thriving online business, or a great sale price for your domain. Read on for tips on developing the best strategy to use to buy your domain.

How Popular is the Domain

When you’re looking to buy a domain, do research into the popularity of that domain. As new TLDs become available, some are gaining more interest than others. Like many things in life, the more popular a domain is the more likely you will be able to sell it in the future or increase the value of it. TLDs can be fun and unique but if you’re interested in getting value or selling in the future, research which are the most popular new TLDs. Industry, length of TLD and marketing will affect how popular a new GTLD is. Do your research before buying.

What is Your Sale Price

If you’re buying TLDs to sell down the line, you should have a sale price in mind. This sale price is what you would accept for your domain. This will help you understand what if a good value for you for a domain. What is the right price for someone else, may not be what is right for you. Is your sale price way above the current cost of the domain now? Understand that you may have to hold on to the domain for a period of time before you can earn that price. Is your sale price close to what you’re paying for it today? You can expect to get that sale price soon with the right marketing moves.

Who Would Use the Domain

A domain that is important to you, may not be important to someone else. Consider the market for the domain you’re buying. if you want to eventually sell your domain, versatility is your friend. Consider more generic domain names that refer to industries rather than to proper names. Ask people in your industry what type of domain name they would be interested in, this will give you an idea of the market for the domain you just purchased if you decide to sell.

How Long Will You Own the Domain

Knowing when you want to sell a domain is an important factor to consider before purchasing. If you want to sell your domain right away, why are you buying it? The longer you are able to hold onto a domain, the more likely you will get the sale price you want for it when you do decide to sell. A domain is an investment and if you can let your investment mature or wait until others are interested, you stand to have a much better financial return.

With the low cost of TLDs it’s easy to want to buy them all. You can buy as many domains as you want, just consider how you will use them before your buy. Smart domain buying is better for your business and ensure better returns in the future.

Five Reasons to Purchase Multiple Domains

Five Reasons to Purchase Multiple Domains

 

Domain Cost Club’s pricing and exceptional service makes it easy for members to purchase multiple domain names at many different top level domains (TLDs). But should you purchase multiples or maybe just one domain to start? For cost reasons, the benefits are great for DCC members. Your membership grants you at-cost pricing, so multiple domains won’t break the bank with markup. But are multiple domains the right choice for you? Read on to learn the benefits of owning multiple domains.

Diversity

For many people, a domain is an investment, and like many investments, a grouping of multiple domains is often referred to as a portfolio. A portfolio is often used when discussing stocks, which is a great way to frame reasons for having multiple domains. You wouldn’t invest all your money into just one stock, would you? That’s one reason to own multiple domains. Consider buying multiple domain names as well as domains at multiple .TLDs. This way, your investment is spread across many options that could give you a return on your purchase.

Experience

While there is much money to be made in domains, that doesn’t mean you’ll get rich off of your first domain sale or even feel totally sure of what you’re doing. With the low price point of domains purchased through DCC, you can learn domaining as you grow your portfolio. Perhaps your first few domains will be inexpensive, as you have success selling them or using them, you may feel comfortable buying domains in a higher price bracket with the hope of  a bigger return. Your experience in “domaining” and your portfolio can grow alongside each other.

Price Points

Due to demand and different TLDs, price points for domains purchased through DCC can range a bit. However, you can always be sure you’re getting the best price for your domain. Currently, domains with a .energy TLD purchased through DCC run around $66.00 dollars per year, where .net is just $7.54 per year. These TLDs offer different branding opportunities and a priced differently to reflect that. People might be interested in these domains for many different reasons, so it makes sense to purchase a few domain names at different TLDs and different price points to build your portfolio. This will help you to get different levels of return from your domain sales or personal use.

Investment

We’ve mentioned it a few times, but domains can be a great investment! The more domains you purchase, the more money you stand to make from sales of those domains. Just be sure you can manage the number of domains you own. Like stocks, domains will have high and low days and not everyone will be interested in the ones you own. Remember, investments can take time, so dont be afraid to hold out for the sale price you think your domain is worth.

Establish

As you purchase and sell more domains, you will become more experienced and established in the domain industry. This allows you to work with others who will benefit from your experience. A prospective buyer might be unsure if the person selling them a domain has only purchased one, built a portfolio can show a buyer that you’re experienced and have many domains to offer. This will give you great referrals too!

A DCC Global Domains International History Brief

Global Domains International History

 

GDI History

Global Domains International was launched in 1999 by Alan Ezeir and Michael Starr. The founders of GDI had the foresight to see beyond the restricted world of .COM and wanted to gain another top level domain (TLD) for use by people like you. Ezeir and Starr decided on the TLD of .WS, which stands for website and many other branded names.

In the early days of TLD, countries around the world were each granted their own  TLD, usually an abbreviation of the country name. As such .WS was the TLD of Western Samoa. GDI’s founders worked with the government of Western Samoa to secure .WS for use with GDI. GDI launched as an opportunity for people to have their own branded domain for life at .WS. The average consumer could never afford an expensive .COM, but .WS opened personalized domain names to everyone at an affordable price. In addition, GDI launched many support tools to build out the website at those domains as well as an affiliate marketing opportunity. To this day you can secure your .WS and more through GDI and earn income.

Domain Cost Club

Much like Ezeir and Starr predicted, .COM  is becoming less and less powerful while personalized TLDs are now becoming a hot commodity. Starting in 2013, ICANN began releasing TLDs never before imagined for public use. Think of .attorney, .pizza, and .website to name a few. These TLDs give the opportunity to brand your website in a whole new way.

Domain Cost Club was launched to bring these TLDs to you at the lowest price possible. All you have to do is become a member and you can have any number of these TLDs at cost—no markup! Now you can uniquely brand your business or businesses with any number of exciting top level domains. You can also become a DCC affiliate and work to offset your membership cost and make additional income.

The Connection

As you can see, GDI and DCC were both founded by the same people, Alan Ezeir and Michael Starr. In 1999 they saw the potential of opening the world of TLDs to buyers like you and as the landscape of TLDs changed, they are doing it again. GDI is still a great way to secure your Internet Address for Life as well as some great support tools to build out your website. DCC is a wonderful way to get into investing in domains and being ahead of the curve as the world of TLDs once again changes forever.

Adult Branded Domain Promotions

Adult Branded Domain Promotions

 

The adult industry is big business on the Internet. Countless searches every day include adult keywords, many of the most trafficked websites are adult themed, and now there are several new top level domain extensions launching to target that traffic. The registry for .XXX is launching .ADULT and .PORN in May 2015, and is doing so with deep promotional discounts. Domain Cost Club will pass those discounts on to you, courtesy of our at-cost pricing.

[tboot_table strip=”yes” border=”yes” condense=”yes” hover=”yes” cols=”Top Level Domain,Regular Price,Promotional Price” data=”.XXX,$62/yr,Only $12 for the first year during April!,.ADULT,$62/yr,Only $12 for the first year during Domain Matching from May 6th-31st!,.PORN,$62/yr,Only $12 for the first year during Domain Matching from May 6th-31st!”][/tboot_table]

.XXX domain owners get dibs on the matching string in .PORN and .ADULT before those names become available to the general public. The “Domain Matching” window gives existing .XXX holders (as of April 30, 2015) a priority registration opportunity from May 6th – May 31st. All you need to do to be eligible for this special is own your .XXX domain by April 30, 2015. The matching domains have to be from the same registrar as the .XXX registration, so if you already own a .XXX you need to transfer it to DCC asap.

If you’ve ever considered profiting from adult traffic, now is the perfect time to buy in. Grab some .XXX domains at an 80% discount during April, then do the same for .ADULT and .PORN in May!

Domains and Registrars and ICANN, Oh My! Domain Vocabulary and History

domain history

 

It’s easy to get overwhelmed with all the vocabulary associated with domains and websites. Thankfully we are here to help and offer you some easy to understand definitions you won’t find anywhere else. Study this domain jargon and you’ll be feeling like a whiz in no time. Consider bookmarking this post, it will be helpful to revisit.

Domains

Top level domains (TLD) are the fancy name for what you see at the end of your URL bar. This is .com, .ws, .net and myriad other names. The domain is partly a home to your website and partly a tail that your domain can’t shake. That TLD will be at the end of your website no matter what pages you add to it.

Country-code Top Level Domain (ccTLD)

This refers to domains that were originally assigned to countries. These domains are two letters long and were assigned to countries starting nearly 30 years ago. Examples of this are .us (United States), .uk (United Kingdom), and .au (Australia).

Generic Top Level Domain (gTLD)

These are the domains you see most commonly in your browser like .com, .org, .net and .ws. These are the original general purpose domains thats were assigned for people to use for their website outside of ccTLDs. Now they are the most common. Starting in 2013, ICANN began releasing TLDs never before imagined for public use. Now domains like .pizza, .website have joined the ranks of generic top level domains.

Domain Registrar

A domain registrar is a company or organization that essentially manages the reservation of a specific group of names, like. org or .ws. A domain name registrar can manage several different domain names, which is why you can have access to multiple domains through one domain name registrar. However, each different domain grouping is a separate registry. So .coms are one registry, .ws and .org another. Thanks to ICANN, domain registrars have access to these different registries.

ICANN

Domain name registries started to pop up in the 1990s, but unlike today they were able to put somewhat of a monopoly on the market. You could only get certain domains from certain registries. To combat this, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) was formed and forced the creation of a shared registration system, which allows multiple domain name registrars to sell the same domains. So many domain name registrars could offer .coms, .nets, and other top level domains.

Domain Wholesaler

You can see that domains and domain registries is a fairly regulated industry. As such, all domain registrars buy domains at exactly the same price from registries. But for domain registrars to make a profit, they have to charge you, the consumer, a higher price. However, a domain wholesaler like Domain Cost Club offers you domains for the same price they pay for them from registries. You just need to join the club.

The following tips will help you hone your affiliate networking craft and starting making sales and earning income more quickly!

1. Build Relationships

Relationships are key to affiliate marketing. Constantly networking, having conversations, and finding ways to help others will be extremely beneficial to you. The more contacts you have, the better. No matter where you are, there is always time to meet someone new, strike up a conversation and build a new contact. Even if the person is not interested in your product, perhaps they know someone that is.

2. Solve a Problem

Is the product you’re selling useful? Does it actually help the customer in some way? Does it save them money or help them in their daily life? Affiliate marketers for Domain Cost Club can use the discounted prices of domains and enormous variety of new TLDs (or Top Level Domains) as one of their top selling points for the product. Purchasing domains from Domain Cost Club will save the customer money. Period.

3. Use Quality Content

Make sure anything you post on website, blog, social media, etc. is quality and can stand the test of time. Don’t post or write about things that don’t matter or will be outdated within a few months. This tip is especially important if you are an affiliate marketer for multiple products. Make sure you are conveying the most important, useful information regarding your products or that you are providing information helpful to your audience.

4. Use the Product

As an affiliate marketer, it’s easy to get a bad rap in the online world – simply by the nature of the business. Make sure you have actually tried and like the product you are selling. People can easily see through a disingenuous sales pitch and will not buy from someone who they don’t trust.

5. Be Honest

Transparency is key in gaining the trust of potential customers. Make sure you mention that you are an affiliate marketer of the product, and give details about how that actually works. Make sure your audience knows that you have indeed used the product, and that you would never endorse something you wouldn’t use yourself.

6. Set Specific Goals

Beginning an affiliate marketing journey without actually sitting down and writing out tangible goals will get you no where. It’s too easy to avoid hitting vague goals or let yourself off the hook if you don’t have real numbers written down. Talk with peers to evaluate realistic, yet challenging goals. Then create a road map to hitting them. You will accomplish more by knowing what it is you have set out to do from the beginning.

7. Be Patient

As mentioned above, success with affiliate marketing doesn’t happen over night. Extensive research regarding the product you are selling is essential. You need to be an authority figure on the subject. Not to mention the long process of building up your network, gaining their trust, and actually closing a deal. However, if you commit to following through, you will no doubt reap the rewards!

Implementing these tips into your daily affiliate marketing routine is sure to help you close more sales and achieve your goals. Make sure you build upon these guidelines each day to get the most out of your experience.

9 Tips for a Flawless Elevator Pitch

hand shake

If you are in sales, have worked for a startup, or are an entrepreneur, then you have definitely heard the term “elevator pitch.” For those of you that don’t know, an elevator pitch refers to the ability to sell your product or service to someone, and hopefully pique their interest in it, within the time it takes to ride in an elevator with them (less than a minute).  The elevator pitch, which is obviously not always going to happen in an elevator, is useful when explaining your business to an investor, a potential client or customer, or a potential partner.

The truth is, having an elevator pitch prepared when people ask, “what do you do?” is crucial for any person working at any business. You never know when a casual conversation could turn into a business deal, so being prepared when the time comes will most certainly benefit you.

The following 9 tips will help you to convey your “pitch” clearly and concisely, without coming across as a “salesman.”

1. Short and Sweet

As mentioned above, this description of your business needs to be under a minute long, while still being clear about what it is you are offering. Don’t use jargon related to your industry – assume this person knows nothing about your business and spoon-feed them the idea.

For example, if you’re an online marketing agency, don’t say “we have expertise in SEO.” Instead, say “we help businesses get their websites on the first page of Google’s search results.”

2. Clear Benefit

Speak in terms of what this product or service will do for THEM. You will have to tailor this to your audience; whether it is a potential customer or client, a potential partner, or an investor. Regardless, let them know how this product or service will make their life easier, better, or solve a problem for them. Explain this right away in simple terms.

For example, let’s say you are an affiliate marketer for Domain Cost Club, and you are trying to get a potential new member to join. You would want to let them know about the flexibility of working from home, the exponential earning value, and of course the overall value of the DCC membership in terms of discounted domains.

3. Differentiation

So you’ve explained the benefit of the product or service, now it’s time to integrate your unique selling proposition into the pitch and explain why this person should want to buy from or invest in YOU instead of your competitors.

Going back to our example above, there are many companies that offer affiliate marketing programs. You would want to explain why DCC is the best place to become an affiliate marketer. Perhaps you would want to mention how easy it is to get started, the stellar support offered in building your network, or the top-notch level of the actual product you are selling.

Make money with affiliate marketing4. Greed Factor

Everyone wants to make money, and everything relates back to ROI – it’s as simple as that. Quickly explain how your product or service will either make or save this person money. If your business doesn’t directly do that, figure out an indirect way to integrate this concept.

Someone who is potentially interested in an affiliate marketing opportunity, for example, will be most interested in the possibility of, ease of, and length of time it will take to start making money.

5. Credentials

Explain who you are, and your affiliation with this product or service. What do you do for the company and why are you qualified to be speaking about or selling it? This would also be a great time to include some recent success stats.

If you earned $15,000 in your first quarter as an affiliate marketer, that would be a great selling point to a potential new member you are trying to close. Relate to them and let them know you have been where they are.

6. Easy to Join

No one wants to go through a long, overdrawn process to get involved with or join something. If all they have to do is fill out a simple form, some short paperwork, or view a 10-minute slideshow to get started – point that out.

7. Leave them Wanting More

Remember, this first encounter is just a door opener to a more in depth conversation. Keep the upper hand in the conversation and pique their interest just enough for them to want to learn more. The more you talk, the less interest your garner. Stop when you know they seem interested, and then suggest getting together another time to go more in depth or show them more facts and figures.

8. Be Conversational

No one – I repeat, NO ONE – likes to be “sold to”. Do not sell your product, service, or yourself to this other person. Keep it casual and conversational – this works great in a social setting. Get your point across, and don’t push.

9. Practice, Practice, Practice…

You already know practice makes perfect! Practice this elevator pitch on your family and friends. Do they automatically understand the points you’re trying to get across? Would it make them interested in learning more? The more you repeat your key points, the more casual it will come across when this moment occurs in a natural setting.

Including the factors above in your elevator pitch will not guarantee that you get your investment, or close the sale – it is only meant to open the door to a secondary conversation.

With a large focus on #7 and #8, you give yourself the upper hand in this sales-driven conversation. Acting natural, as though you would be helping THEM achieve success by allowing them to participate in your offer will help draw the other person in, and give you leverage to hopefully close the deal in the secondary meeting you are bound to set up!
