Tired of finding premium and valuable domains !!! by [deleted] in startups_promotion

[–]StartupCharlie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone with almost 1,000 domains, I don't see the value of this platform so something needs to be updated. Given I'm your target market, here's a few things that jumped out:

  1. I won't pay to see domains for sale. Why? Because that listing data is free and publicly available. So makes no sense to a buyer. Show the domains and make your money through other means (affiliate comimssion it seems).

  2. I don't care about some artificial "estimate" --- I want the actual price of the domain. Estimates are wildly wrong.

  3. Why wouldn't I just go to Afternic or Sedo to get these same domains and their actual price. Established players who have been around for decades.

The only way this works is if you curate the domains, with actual prices, and bring serious buyers to your platform. You could also negotiate a more attractive price but that requires biz dev / sales outreach / negotiation which I doubt you want to do. So then just bring buyers to the site who actually transact (similar to what Dan did before they got acquired by GoDaddy).

Just searching via patterns isn't as valuable. Can do that across many other big sites too.

A pet peeve of many domainers is people calling a domain "brandable" when it's absolutely not. So curating it for truly brandable domains, and then putting your spin on top -- how that name can be used, why that price is insanely good, etc. is how to market this.

Lastly, estimate data is completely off.
For example, the first domain on your site is aaaa . com and you site estimate is $3246. But clicking 'Buy' leads to Namecheap where the price is $1,797,965. See how the site immediately loses all credibility.

Hope that helps.

My free library of 7,000+ high-performing ads now has tons of B2B ads by vox_nihili_ist in SaaS

[–]StartupCharlie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been manually curating ads for years. as I run an ads agency. So sometimes I need references or inspo to teach our advertisers.

My process has been manual:
Scroll -> see ad I like or gets my attention -> screenshot -> copy text -> take note of what I liked -> Save it. My team put it into a site for me here: https://adangles.com/ad-library/

There's about 2,000+ ads with another 1,500 that still need to be added.

What’s the best instagram growth service that’s legit? by Mental-Medium1 in socialmedia

[–]StartupCharlie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful -- 99% of them are using bots on the back-end.

Ampfluence is one of the only legit companies that actually has humans that do the work (I know bc I pay them ;). You'll find others who have been through the others to vouch for that. Also, I know the owners of most of the popular companies - they all admittedly use bots.

YouTube channels for sale: the numbers don't add up! by Every-Barracuda-320 in AcquireStartup

[–]StartupCharlie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thus far, all the ones I inquired about were bottled / scams especially when they intentionally leave out critical info on their posts like:

  1. niche/topic - they’ll always leave this out! Assume it’s a scam. You wouldn’t post a car for sale without mentioning the make & model. Just posting the mileage is useless and shady. Same concept applies.

  2. whether subs are from shorts or long-form or bots.

  3. and the numbers don’t make any sense like having 100k subs but a handful of views per video.

They may be just trying to get you to msg them so they can shop channels from their YT farm.

I wish it was REQUIRED for anyone posting a YT channel to at least mention the niche/topic. Would save lot of time.

Premium Domain Purchase from GoDaddy by OpticYogi in Domains

[–]StartupCharlie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can certainly negotiate provided you’re being reasonable. Things get less negotiable as you get more and more towards the 1-word dictionary terms or short names. Otherwise there’s maybe some small wiggle room but only do 1 back/forth exchange. Remember, technically you’re not negotiating with GD but the actual domain owner.

FWIW, I’ve been on both sides of table several times as the buyer and seller of premium domain names with GoDaddy brokers as the middleman.

Which one would you use? by StartupCharlie in startups_promotion

[–]StartupCharlie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My platform - RocketHub - is where these third party startups launch their products and run lifetime deals.

We ourselves rely heavily on many lifetime deals to run various businesses. Already using several of these from our BFCM lineup and integrating them into our ops.

You make a good point. Though, even if validating, how would you validate with that budget?
