Why You Should Surround Yourself With People Who Know What They’re Doing

By - January 16, 2012 - 8 Comments
One of the reasons I would never leave DomainShane.com to write for another blog that perhaps may be offering more money is because on most any other blog I wouldn't be able to do a post like this. Sure this is a domaining blog, but domaining is a business, and inspiration or business can come from anywhere. I think one of the main reasons I enjoyed this blog so much before I started writing here, and why many of you enjoy it now, is it's not ALL about domains. You can expect to be entertained here and can expect to see stuff on this blog that you probably wouldn't see on other domaining blogs. I'd l... Read More »

Domain Squatting Isn’t Right, But Will Companies Ever Learn?

By - January 13, 2012 - 6 Comments
When will people learn? I'll be the first to say that domain squatting isn't right. While some would argue differently, blatantly trying to capitalize on someone else's idea and hard work just isn't the American way, to me anyways. Do your own work, make your own successes is the route I feel people should take. A lot of people do this, but I just don't understand why some make it so hard on themselves. I just read an article about a new music festival that decided to change their name  after someone snatched up the matching domain name before they did. Naturally, the festival founder claimed t...

If You Have To Explain The Value, You’re Selling To The Wrong Person

By - January 10, 2012 - 9 Comments
Recently a buddy of mine tried to sell me a TV wall-mount he didn't need anymore. He was asking $100. I told him I can buy a brand new one for half that price. He got offended. He explained to me what a high quality mount this was, pointing out all of the features, told me it was $300 brand new. I explained to him that to me, it was a TV mount that holds a TV on the wall and nobody sees. I went as far as to explain that to ME, the difference between a $50 TV mount that holds a TV on the wall and a $300 TV mount that holds a TV on the wall is simply $250. Clearly, he was selling to the wrong person. ... Read More »

DomainShane Contest: Win a FREE UDRP

By - January 9, 2012 - 1 Comment
Big news out of the Detroit International Auto Show today as VW unveiled the all-electric E-Bugster concept vehicle . The E-Bugster is a pure electric vehicle that looks slicker than a regular VW Beetle, sure to be a hit with environmentalists and Mac users. Surpisingly, VW decided to unveil the vehicle without having previously registered the domains E-Bugster.com or EBugster.com. Let the scrambling begin NOW. I'm not a fan of squatting like that and I think I've called out people in the past for doing it, so I'll spare myself the ridicule and let someone else sign up for a potential UDRP with VW. ...
