I wrote a quick recap of my first ever NamesCon.  I don’t like spending money, and for me, this trip was a luxury.  Was awesome to bring my son, Jackson (15) with me and spend some quality time with him.

Other notes

This was a topic that came up at NamesCon quite a bit. James Booth talked about sending an initial email then calling on the phone.  And be persistent and use a British accent, of course.

I heard others talking about using LinkedIn messaging, sending letters via postal mail (snail mail).  These aren’t bad ideas if you’re looking to liquidate your domains.

The issue I have is that I think this will cause you to get a lower price, it stinks of desperation.  Of course, perhaps I am wrong.  With domains, I think people need to understand the value themselves. When they do, if you own good domain names, then you will have leverage.

I’m going to rant for a moment.  Experience domain investors will tell you that your domains suck, that you’re doing it wrong, and some of them will laugh and maybe even ignore you. Do you anyways.

I haven’t added any content to the site since the original 10 articles.  One article is drawing some interest, though it’s a “seasonal interest” site.  Progress is extremely slow.  I’m working on making time to add some more content in coming weeks – probably 1 article every 2 weeks or so, and see how that goes.
