The Launch of NamusFamus
Every time a new domain sales platform/site is launched, we typically like to take a closer look to see what others in the industry are doing. We were notified by email that NamusFamus was a new website, launched this week, that focused on low priced, high quality domains with a few interesting features. We were contacted because we have bought and sold a few domains with the owner, Michael Storseth, in the past. Overall we were pleased and impressed with the site’s design and flow and feel like this has a good shot at being successful.
The Good
The content is fresh and the design is easy to navigate. The site is supplementing it’s traffic with daily email updates and includes a simple and clear subscription process that is well promoted on the main page. The best part about this is the fact that it should have appeal to an audience not already familiar with the domain aftermarket industry. Also very good are the prices. So far this week, we have seen quite a few very nice domains priced under $100 (AccountingPrinciples.org, ExerciseCenters.com, Impropriety.net and many more)Also, there seems to be a nice selection of higher priced names with impressive search and CPC statistics. As many of you know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder so you will need to check it out for yourself.
There is also a daily “Star Deal” feature that highlights one domain or set of domains and provides a little more depth in it’s description. Pretty nice selection of names so far for this feature. One more thing this site is providing is a daily trivia contest worth $25 in gift cards, incorporating some sort of tie-in to a name(s) listed for that day. We were fortunate to win the first one and were delivered our prize within hours of notification of winning. Not sure how long this will last so I would encourage you to act now to try and take advantage.
The Bad?..Not Really
As we stated earlier, we like the site and the prices so what’s the hitch. The biggest hitch we see moving forward is the DAILY demand on the site’s owners(s) to provide fresh names, prices, descriptions and emails that engage their audience. It will be a lot of work, but if they are able to do it, it should be a tremendous success.
Check it Out Yourself
Have a look for yourself to see what the team over at NamusFamus have put together. We always love to see folks success in this industry, especially if they are doing it the right way. Feel free to check out the email subscription as well. Have fun and Good Luck to NamusFamus and Mike.
