One year ago, Jeff Bezos went to space (and I registered a domain on the same day)
I registered a domain name on the same day that Jeff Bezos went to space.
And I just let it expire.
Here's what happened:
As I was watching the Blue Origin launch that sent Jeff Bezos and a small crew to the edge of space, the newscasters mentioned something called the Karman Line. This is a line used to differentiate the Earth's atmosphere from space.
The Karman Line is defined by 100 kilometers (62 miles) above sea level.
As more and more people reached this altitude, it would mean that more and more people would be in an exclusive group of individuals who have been past the Karman Line.
More and more people would join the 'Karman Club'.
It has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
So I registered the domain name KarmanClub.com with ideas of selling Karman Club t-shirts and other merchandise.
"I joined the Karman Club and all I got was this lousy t-shirt."
In hindsight, I don't think this is a good idea. But at the time, I thought it was worth the $8 "cheap bet" fee to 'lock up' the domain for a year. This way, I didn't have to rush the idea or worry about someone else taking the domain.
And now, a year later, I have no problem letting it go.
This is just an example of what I do and what I would teach to anyone wanting to learn more about domains. I only want people to get into the domain business SAFELY and with the right expectations.
Yes, you can make money with domains. But that involves spending money to buy/acquire domains as well as positioning yourself to make a sale of the right domain to the right buyer at the right time.
If you want to learn more about all of this domain stuff, the FIRST PEOPLE to have access to this domain course and book will be those who join my next Authorpreneur Challenge (details coming soon).
