Short Domains as a Hedge Against Currency Devaluation

Posted on 27 January 2016 by Andrei

I live in Europe where we actually have a DEFLATION problem rather than inflation concerns but in a lot of other countries, especially in Asia and South America, currency devaluation is a huge, huge threat.

Domain Sales Newsletter Case Study – Part 23

Posted on 25 January 2016 by Andrei

Offering a really nice portfolio of premium LLLLs today, final price reductions, should be interesting.

As time passed, the newsletter ended up carving a little niche for itself, I didn’t start out with the intention of focusing on LLLLs but that’s what ended up happening 🙂

OneMinuteEconomics.com Case Study – Part 4

Posted on 23 January 2016 by Andrei

Things seem to be on the right track with my YouTube channel (through which I explain important concepts through entertaining one-minute animations), with one of the 5 videos already at over 1,000 views.

Domaining and the Rat Race

Posted on 10 January 2016 by Andrei

A significant percentage of the people I interact with, both online and offline, are workaholics. The more time passes, the more people seem to be entrenched in the proverbial rat race and this got me thinking about domaining as well as the idea of making money online in general.

Escrow.com Starts 2016 With New Features

Posted on 08 January 2016 by Andrei

I’m pretty excited about the three new features Escrow.com started 2016 with. First and foremost (and this is something non-US domainers will certainly appreciate), they’ve expanded their office hours from 8 am – 4 pm to 8 am – 11 pm which is a huge improvement.
