			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At some point in almost all domainer&#8217;s careers, they&#8217;ll write an end-user email. When writing an end-user email, you don&#8217;t want to be too formal, but you want to be too casual either. Companies will often trash letters and emails that don&#8217;t have proper grammar or spelling as well. I have created and wanted to share a good general end-user email, that companies have taken seriously, some of which have converted into sales for me.</p>
<p>Dear Mr./Ms./Mrs. _____________ (try not to use Sir/Madam)</p>
<p>I am contacting you on behalf of _____________ (company name). We own the domain name www._______________. We thought your company might take an interest in it because ____________________.</p>
<p>The domain name gets ______ visitors monthly (always use the monthly visitors because it will look like a bigger number). It is registered at ________________, and is set to expire _______________.</p>
<p>Our asking price is only $_________ (set the asking price a little above what you&#8217;re willing to take), but we do have some flexibility. If you&#8217;re interested, feel free to email us back, or call us at ____-____-____.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>(Full Name)</p>
<p>(Position in Company)</p>
<p>(Company Name)</p>
<p>That end-user email has worked out for me in the past, but I would also love to see the emails you generally send. So please comment below on what you think of my end-user email, and make sure to submit your comments with the end-user emails you use to send to end-users. I hope this post helps to everyone who is sending out end-user emails!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I would estimate that 99.9% of internet entrepreneurs are in the business for the sole purpose for making/raising money, or spreading the word about their product/idea/company. When a company wants to make money, they have two options for what to do:</p>
<p>1) Try to create a new website with a totally unique concept that hasn&#8217;t been done before.</p>
<p>2) Stick with what they know, and the different types of websites that normally provide a solid income.</p>
<p>Those are the most likely the two biggest things a business must evaluate. For option number 1, the risk you take is not knowing any types of statistics, or numbers, that can help you figure out whether that concept will be successful. For option number 2, your risk is simply, competition. So each has their own risks involved in it.</p>
<p>Trying something new normally will either prove itself to be a complete success or total fail. There are exceptions, but that is how trying new concepts normally goes. Right now, I am trying to develop my first website that is a totally unique concept you won&#8217;t find anywhere else on the web. I haven&#8217;t seen the results yet, but I will certainly share them to viewers. Also, another big issue I have now experienced, and most experience when creating a new concept is expenses. It tends to be a lot more expensive because if it&#8217;s a new concept, it normally needs a lot of customization to the website, and also to create a website that is fully functional.</p>
<p>Sticking with the basics is something I have done before. I built a PTC (paid-to-click) website, which is a relatively new concept, but there are a good number of PTC websites out there, including many big ones. I made it, promoted it, got many users, and made a lot of money. I ended up selling the site for an undisclosed amount after I figured out it was too time consuming, but I got a very nice return. So sticking with the basics can really pay off. But there are plenty of PTC websites for example that completely fail. I think if you are going to stick with the basics and build a website that isn&#8217;t a new concept, you need to know how to market it correctly. You need to also be willing to of course put some good money into that marketing. It&#8217;s important because you have competition, who you want to beat out.</p>
<p>Anyways, what do you guys think will make you bigger bucks in a general sense, new concepts or sticking with the basics? Please comment below, I think it would be interesting to see what everyone has to say based off and on personal experiences.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a huge difference between 5 letter domains and 4 letter domains. Earlier in 2008, I used to be a big investor in LLLL.com’s. Right before the LLLL.com market crashed, I got out of the market, made my fair share, and got into keyword domaining. Since then I have been keyword domaining, until about a week ago. I was surfing eBay for some good deals on domains. Then I found a 5 letter brandable domain, which I thought was a perfect domain for one of my upcoming mini sites.</p>
<p>Even though the domain had absolutely nothing to do with my site, it was just brandable. It’s kind of like Google. It doesn’t really mean anything, infact it’s just a random set of letters that sound “brandy”. That’s the biggest difference between 4 letter domains (LLLL.com’s), and 5 letter domains (LLLLL.com’s).  LLLL.com’s, unless they are CVCV’s or VCVC’s, it usually isn’t pronouncable or “brandy”.</p>
<p>Also, LLLL.com’s are normally easier to flip to end-users than LLLL.com’s are. That’s probably the biggest reasons LLLL.com investors give when they are asked why they are better then LLLLL.com’s when LLLLL.com’s can usually be found at much smaller prices.</p>
<p>That brings me to my next point. LLLL.com’s are much more costly then LLLLL.com’s for the most part. If you are going to get an average LLLL.com, which is normally unpronouncable, chances are you are looking to pay about $40. A nice brandable LLLLL.com can normally cost about $10.</p>
<p>Definitely check out DNUnderground.com tomorrow, because we will be discussing the absolute best thing about LLLLL.com’s, and why I along with my other successful domainers are beginning to invest in them. Please feel free to comment your feelings about LLLL.com’s -VS- LLLLL.com’s.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The laws of supply and demand made me take a second glance at LLLL.com’s. The law of supply and demand says that when costs are low, there is a high demand. So in the case of LLLL.com’s, prices crashed from about $50 for the average LLLL.com to $15 in only 5 or 6 months. But the law of demand says that when prices are low, demand is high. This made me second think LLLL.com’s.</p>
<p>The only contradictory point to this is now that LLLL.com’s have been steadily selling for prices around $15, demand still isn’t high. When I thought about this point, I realized that there isn’t a high demand is because there isn’t really a high demand for any type of domain these days, other then real estate domains, considering we are in one of the worst economy’s we have ever faced globally. Most people are wondering where money for their next meal will come from. They can’t afford to risk their money on LLLL.com’s.</p>
<p>Now, instead of looking at the bad things about LLLL.com’s, which I have done in past articles, we will examine 3 of the main advantages of LLLL.com’s:</p>
<p>1) They have high liquidity. If you are ever need in some quick cash, you can always get some amount quickly for an LLLL.com. Whether or not you make profit, thats another subject. But LLLL.com’s can be turned into cash quickly.</p>
<p>2) They could potentially stand for something, or be an acromyn. If you own TAHA.com, it could stand for “The American Heart Association”. Now, that was just an example, but it shows that LLLL.com’s could have potential end-users for them.</p>
<p>3) They are short. A lot of people say shorter domains are easier to remember. And the easier a domain is to remember, the more returning visitors it could potentially get.</p>
<p>Those were 3 of the top reasons LLLL.com domainers give whenever asked what they like about LLLL.com’s and why they are investing in them. Of course, as I said before, there are many disadvantages to LLLL.com’s, such as small amount of acronyms, a small market (even with high liquidity), and while a lot of people say that while short domains are easier to remember, mixed letters like QNLX are very hard to remember.</p>
<p>I don’t know how I feel about LLLL.com’s at this point. I mean, there are fewer reasons why LLLL.com’s are good, but honestly, they have some solid logic behind that reasoning. At the sime point, there are so many reasons why LLLL.com’s are bad investments. And especially if the law of supply and demand applies here, LLLL.com’s could have a future. I am not saying I believe they will, but they have a lot of potential if they follow the law of supply and demand.</p>
<p>I would love to hear your opinions and takes on LLLL.com’s. It should be quite interesting to see the different reasons you guys like or dislike LLLL.com’s, and I can wait to see your comments, which you can submit below. Also, please make sure to subscribe to our brand new available domains newsletter, which you can find in the sidebar.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I like to think of the price for LLL.com’s as a very strange curve. Some sell for $100,000, while other’s sell for $5,000. They have very unsteady prices, which is why I compare it to a curve. While some sell at the $100,000 price, they are at the top of the curve, while others are at the bottom of the curve selling at $5,000 or $6,000.</p>
<p>Now, I am someone who absolutely hates LLLL.com’s. So in my opinion, I think that the LLL.com’s, while they can be very valuable acronyms to companies, are also junk if they have no meaning. People say they are memorable. But having 2-3 words in a domain can be just as memorable, if not more memorable. Personally, if I had to choose remembering DNU.com and DNUnderground.com, I would remember DNUnderground.com a lot better then DNU.com.</p>
<p>But as for the prices for LLL.com’s, I would say that a few months ago, the curve was as tall as a tower. LLL.com’s were selling at crazy high prices. But I have seen that curve is falling, and shrinking, as these LLL.com’s have been shooting down in prices. For example, a few months ago, minimum wholesale for an LLL.com was $7,500. Now, only a few months later, minimum wholesale is all the way down to $5,000.</p>
<p>Overall, I think that the prices for LLL.com’s are very unsteady, and they are not safe investments in any way, shape, or form. The “price curve” is falling down with the LLLL.com’s, and I believe will continue to go down even more. Please comment all your feelings on LLL.com’s, for I, as long as all the viewers would just love to hear them!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>August 25, 2008</p>
<p>Recently, I have read up and done some research on LLL.net’s. In fact, about a week or two ago I bought one. LLL.net’s actually have a very interesting market. It seems to be a risky investment at this point, and no one knows where the market will go.</p>
<p>In my opinion, I think LLL.net’s only have a reseller maket, just like LLLL.com’s, which we all saw go down in flames. End-users will either want an LLL.com or an LLL.org. That being said, all three markets, LLL.com’s, LLL.net’s, and LLL.org’s are going down to lower prices then they have been in years.</p>
<p>I recently bought an LLL.net (as I mentioned in my first paragraph), UHQ.net, for $650. It was an eBay auction, and to be honest was sort of a spur of the moment thing. I was looking through eBay domains, and I saw this domain, UHQ.net, had 2 minutes left. I ended up bidding, and that’s what got me started reading about the market. Now, two days later, I sold it on DNForum.com for $785. So even though that is still a high price for a domain, it is still below the LLL.net minimum wholesale value of $800 back in July, 2008. And that wasn’t a bad LLL.net at all. It was actually pretty good the way I saw it. So it would have been worth much more in July, probably closer to $900 or $1,000. And that just shows you how much the market is dropping.</p>
<p>My guess is LLL.net’s will go down the tube soon. We will need to see, because LLL’s have many, many acronyms, which does give them some value. But will they eventually just crash to rock bottom prices like the LLLL.com’s are doing? We will need to wait and see!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Earlier today I decided to sit and closely watch the NamePros.com live domain auction, to see what the domains were going for, and how the different markets for different types of domains were doing. Before the auction actually started, I wanted to go check out the prebidding area to see the different domains that were going to be auctioned off. I noticed that there must have been a good 20-30 LLLL.com’s in the auction, which wasn’t surprising at all considering how much the market was dropping. I am sure domainers are freaking out and getting rid of them while they can. Once the auction began, it was shocking to me seeing the LLLL.com’s going off at such high prices. While the prices did show a significant drop from the last couple of live auctions, they were going at reasonably high prices for the current market.</p>
<p>The most significant LLLL.com sale was Mafy.com for $1,050. Now, although that probably would have gone for a good $3,000 back a few months ago when the LLLL.com market was huge, $1,050 is still quite a significant price looking at the current market. It is a pretty catchy CVCV.com, but to be perfectly honest, I would rather have something like Maffy.com for $20 or $25.</p>
<p>My company used to be quite involved in the LLLL.com market. In fact, we even had our own price guide for LLLL.com’s. But, my company got out of the market back in late april when we saw the market falling to pieces.</p>
<p>Once the auction ended, after seeing tonight’s LLLL.com sales, I was just shocked to see how many people are still investing in them. Whether it’s Mafy.com, or even a random one like VPJY.com or QKUH.com (which both went for $25 a piece in the live auction), the market still seems to be alive. Who knows, maybe it will come back. I guess we will have to wait and see!</p>
