I deserve a break today ☕️ I've been working non-stop

A domain name is an address (e.g., google .com) and a website is a building. Not every address is right for every building. Do you want a one story home? Or do aspire for a commercial skyscraper? Pick the proper address for your desired building.

I got 99 problems and one of them is the 60-day lock on domain names where I updated WHOIS information You?

Why did the domain name go to therapy? Because it had a lot of unresolved DNS issues.

There’s nothing more exciting than finding a great pending delete domain name and hoping you’re the only person to put a Dropcatch backorder in 😬😳

I've seen many investors find gooses that lay golden eggs By buying domains for between $10 and $50 And listing them for sale between $1,000 and $5,000. A 2,000 domain name portfolio can cost $20,000 to renew yearly, but at a 1% sell-through rate can generate $60,000.

All successful investors make a number of investments in domain names that will NEVER sell. You can't look at one domain in isolation and assume it's a good decision worth replicating. Everyone makes mistakes. Don't just assume. Don't follow blindly. Do your own research.

"It's too late to start domain name investing." —Naysayers The fact is that every year new trends emerge that bring a new vocabulary. Most are transient and gone tomorrow. Some stick. There's an opportunity for every investor who can spot the right ones and act quickly.

Me doing outbound: 🥳 Got a quick response 🤔 No idea how to interpret the response

Great domain names require no explanation.

You don’t need to build a large portfolio to be successful. If you're happy and profitable, then you’re on the right path. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

🙏 That feeling you get when you’ve found a killer domain name in pending delete 🤞 And hope no one else saw it 😬 So you put in a $59 Dropcatch backorder and wait with bated breath… 😢 To find that 50+ others saw it too

Tell me you invest in domain names without telling me you invest in domain names.

Domain names are opportunity. ✨

Remember Mmhmm, that fun (but hard-to-pronounce) company making Zoom meetings better? They've rebranded to Airtime. Great new name, but they're not at Airtime​.com. They're at Airtimetools​.com. Video below explains the original name choice: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZPe...

Why do people watch Twitch? To see streamers play their favorite games. That’s why we watch @DomainSherpa too. Very soon @DNAcademy is going to offer a really fun "ride-along" learning opportunity for domain name investors. Stay tuned! 🎉

My investing strategy is time in market not timing the market. I focus on buying domains that maintain or increase in desirability over time. Could sell tomorrow. Could sell in 30 years. No shade for those who momentum invest. More power to you. Just not for me.

Need a domain name sale? (Who doesn't?) Like if you really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really need a domain name sale today ✨

This is me. Is it you too?

Just migrated from Cloud hosted TinyMCE to self-hosted TinyMCE for InsiderEmail.com and it worked on the second try

Every time someone posts their @Afternic "On Hold" statistic: 🤞🎉 Every time I check: 🦗🦗

25 years ago I launched this 👇 Just to serve others who love Six Sigma process improvement like me. Who knew it’d become the leading Six Sigma publisher, with a print mag, conference co, recruiting service, and more? Yet I still get impostor syndrome and cold feet launching anything new. 😅

Which design do you like better? The before or after?

Sometimes my iPhone (with AT&T service) doesn't ring when people call me. And when that happens the voicemail doesn't work either. I should probably get it fixed, but I actually don't mind it much. It's kind of nice.

I have to hand it to Rob Snagged.com. Targeting startups and founders looking to upgrade their domains and featuring the founder of Reddit in the ad. Their advertising game is second to none. Atom.com gets the silver. Who do you think should get the bronze?

People love data. Especially when it confirms their own biases. DSAD newsletter 🔗👇

I would really like to know what five-letter .com domain they hand registered.

Have you ever tried transferring a domain out of NetSol?

Is it weird that I'm being cordial to the AI? I'm definitely nicer (e.g., "please" and "that's great!") when it understands what I want to accomplish with the code. Do you say "please" and "thank you" too to the AI?

Spent a few days working on Insider.email, the app I use to build my Friday newsletter. New homepage has better Google PageSpeed Insights scores. Phew. Now have to work on Accessibility.

Times change: C̶r̶y̶p̶t̶o̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶b̶l̶o̶c̶k̶c̶h̶a̶i̶n̶ ̶s̶o̶l̶v̶e̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ AI solves this

Continuing work on @Watch_tools development this morning 💻 #buildinpublic

Nuance matters.

I track the daily installs of my @StyleKitio Chrome extension. It's so strange how installs fluctuates from day to day. If you need to instantly inspect any element on a webpage, this is the extension for you. 🧰

A defensive domain name registration is proactively securing domains, often variations or misspellings of your primary domain, to prevent others from using them for malicious purposes or to protect your brand.

I took a detour this week to completely rewrite the @InsiderEmail tool from the ground up. This is a productivity tool that helps me quickly build my Cyger Says... weekly newsletter. One improvement was a spelling checker that matches my tone and writing style, but fixes spelling and grammar.

"The one thing you need to stand-out from all the AI slop that's coming out is the domain name." − @PaulENicks on @DomainSherpa with @J10enbaum As @AndrewRosener said, everything else is becoming commoditized ﹣ the design, the data, the experience ﹣ through the use of AI.

The first registrar to provide an API to for AI to consume is going to win the game. Imagine people being able to ask: * Is whatever​.tld available to hand register? * Is the premium price fair, like within a "Kelly Blue Book" range if it were a used car?

I built an uptime bar chart for Watch.tools Not perfect yet, but coming along #buildinpublic

A quick-search bar for Monitor.tools I kinda like it 😍 #buildinpulic

You have to stay in the game long enough to get lucky.

🤑

This was my first time working with the Chart.js for displaying data. I love the animations when it loads the @Watch_tools average response time chart. #buildinpublic

GoDaddy asked me for feedback on Auctions when I signed into my account. What do you think about this suggestion?

Need a designer but zero budget? Here's a tutorial showing you how to get THREE pro designers to help with your startup - completely FREE. Just used this exact method to transform my Watch.tools project layout. #buildinpublic

Why are you taking advice from anyone who’s not leading the kind of life you want to live?

I love how I can just give images and a brief description of what I'm trying to resolve, and Cursor.com can "see" the difference and then look in the code to try to help me fix it.

I spent way too much time playing around with the flying animation when an alert is resolved on @Watch_tools But I'm quite pleased with how it turned out ✨ Enjoy your weekend!

Maybe I should slow down the movement of the resolved alert card at the end of this video? #buildinpublic Watch.tools
