So many immigrants building businesses in India, what's stopping Indians from doing the same?

People don't realize the cost of promoting an unknown brand until it becomes part of everyday language. Though using an EMD is also not a complete solution, a happy medium can be achieved by having both till you scale.

"Unpaid users", assuming this news is even correct.

Anyone looking for amazing domains at reseller prices? This is your chance!!

In other words, the shorter the domain, the higher the recall. While prefixes and suffixes are common, if you truly want to stand out, use the root word.

There you go, one of the most important aspects of a premium domain is the doors it opens.

For three decades, people have told me, "It won't work," from the internet to domains to digital advertising (yes, seriously). I stopped listening when I realized they meant, "It won't work for them," and they're right, it won't, for them. Put your head down and get to it.

Domainers don't seem to do math. L = 26 LL = 676 LLL = 17,576 LLLL = 456,976 LLLLL = 11,881,376 LLLLLL = 308,915,776 4L or fewer are not available for hand reg, so commoditized. 5L and 6L, even patterns, are available, so not rare. Domains must have intrinsic value.

Can't beat the truth - the numbers speak for themselves, but then all the sales reports have been telling us this for a long time - .com accounts for 80%+ of all reported sales. Though ccTLDs do really well too! Even .ai is a ccTLD btw so they do ~7x of all new gtlds!!

Brilliant!

Domainers on X seeking views: x domain sold for $y, z domain sold for $k (None are their sales, just engagement farming)

Dukan means shop in India and likely in many SE Asia and MENA countries as well. Great brand for an AI assisted ecommerce enabler.

Good explanation of why different types of domains work for different companies.

.COM maxis who have never built a single enterprise are giving advice against using a newtld to an enterprise that has raised over $25m! 🤦‍♂️

"Domains aren’t commodities. They’re strategic digital assets. Explaining the Opportunity - We’re talking about strategy. About outcomes. Creating the Narrative - Make your pitch visual. Make it emotional. If they don’t see the value, they can’t rationalize the cost"

Domain investing is a long term game, though sometimes a month can make all the difference.

I'm going to say Human .com - in an increasingly digital world, the human connection is becoming more important. See the video at IRL.in - underlines what's important for us.

Wouldn't call it a money printing machine, but certainly some interesting pointers in this thread.
