In part 1 of this case study, I shared some initial impressions about my “I should try brokering domains at a 5% commission through my newsletter” (longest name ever?) experiment. Today, after crunching some numbers, I can say that financially, the results have been ok-ish.

New gTLD Case Study, Update #4: Dot XYZ
Posted on 06 June 2014 by Andrei
In my second case study update, when I referred to my development plans for Stocks.XYZ (landrush domain), I also told you guys that I got some general availability domains but since I wasn’t sure what my final list looked like (one of the domains went to auction), I decided to only write about them once I know the outcome of the auction.

New gTLD Case Study, Update #2: Development Experiment
Posted on 02 June 2014 by Andrei
As mentioned on the 18th of May, I’ll be documenting my new gTLD journey as of this point and will let you guys know what I bought as well as what my plans/results are.
Yesterday, I picked up Stocks.XYZ, my first landrush domain (all of the other ones have been bought during the general availability phase). The domain will have a standard renewal fee and I plan on turning it into a megasite with 100+ articles.
New gTLD Case Study
Posted on 18 May 2014 by Andrei
As of today, I’ll be documenting my new gTLD experiment.
I’ll let you guys know which domains I bought, why I bought them, how much I paid and what my end user asking price will be. Every now and then, I’ll post a follow-up with new acquisitions and relevant updates.
I don’t own many (only 13 at the moment of writing) and will probably end up owning 100-ish at the end of 2014. Should be a decent enough number for this experiment and enough to at least draw some preliminary conclusions.
