Domain Naming Helper Software with Garrett Dimon
Nuggets:
- Learn why now is a great time to find a great domain for a new project.
- Find out how to start from a very simple mockup, validate an idea and grow it through iteration.
Action Steps:
- Do some market research on power users for domain names, i.e. people who spend a lot of time searching for and creating them. Can you attract enough that would pay a decent amount for a service like this? Find out if you can sustain a business based on power users paying for this.
- Research business models to find out what would work best. For example, affiliate programs, advertising or charging users at different tiers.
- Research registrars that you might connect with through an API to validate availability. Find out which registar(s) could be the right one(s) to connect your users to register with.
- Research the technical challenges of matching against all existing registered domains and storing and accessing the data on which domain name inquiries would be based.
- Keep in mind there may be "non-technical" ways to get this started. Don't assume you need to have advanced computer science skills.
- Validate with a landing page builder. But include a really rough version of it that people can play with. For example, generate four input boxes that accept nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs. Spins them all together and gives users a huge list that gives them an idea of what could inspire them.
- Use this foundation, plus take advantage of tremendous capacity for constant evolution based on user suggestions and your observations to slowly iterate and improve.
