How to Value Domain Names Step-by-Step
This is Domaining 101: learning the key characteristics that define a domain name, use them to find relevant, recent, and retail-priced comparable sales, and know how to value domain names in the wholesale and retail markets. Increasing your valuation accuracy sets you up to make better decisions in both buying and selling domain names.
Monetizing Web Traffic

Real Numbers!
The domaining industry is notorious for holding its cards close to the vest—real numbers can be rare. At NamesCon, though, the biggest deal-makers in the business give attendees a rare glimpse at what drives their decision-making. But you have to be in the room when it happens!
Alternative Digital Assets
Building a future-proof career means diversifying your potfolio to include not only what buyers want today, but what they will want tomorrow. From fractional ownership to adult domain names; Web3 to fantasy sports (!!!), there are more digital asset types than most investors realize. Set yourself up for success at NamesCon!
