I'm launching a Domain Name Newsletter just for Alliteration Domains & Brands. Starting with available to register domains. First newsletter goes this Friday. Then I will send every Monday. looklion.com

@rebekah_creates This is what Executives and Management thinks. Let them learn the hard way.

100% correct. Good SEO is not something you can currently outsource to AI with no human oversight. Maybe one day. Lots of tools make it easier. But if you see this, you are reading a lie. 🙃

Digg is dead. If you visit the homepage you will be greeted with this message and the social network is gone. The relaunch lasted for just about 2 months. It shows how hard it is to get a social platform launched. They claim they will relaunch again... but somehow I doubt it. Do you think we will see Digg again? Can Digg ever be a true competitor to Reddit?

@dagorenouf Paid ads will burn money unless you understand what to do.

Many indie hackers are stuck with low revenue because they're afraid to spend $50 on google ads. But it should be a no brainer.

Just download Claude Code and installed on Linux. Where do I start?

@Yibecoder Most are junk but you can find needles in the haystack. 🪡 You need very specific buying criteria but there are good domains available everyday.

Domains that hit the drop are usually the lowest tier of quality. By the time a name actually reaches open availability, it has already gone through multiple layers of filtering. The original owner decided not to renew. The registrar ran its expiration process. Auction platforms exposed it to investors. Backorder systems scanned it. Portfolio buyers ignored it. If it still drops to handreg level, that alone tells you something. Most registrars do not let good names simply expire quietly. They have structured expiration pipelines. After the grace period, many names are pushed into registrar-run auctions. If bidding interest appears, the name never reaches public drop. If it receives no bids, it may move to closeout pricing where it is discounted daily until someone grabs it. Registrars actively promote these inventory streams with email campaigns, featured auction lists, and expiring soon alerts. better names usually get absorbed during these stages. Only when there is no auction demand, no closeout buyer, and no backorder interest does a domain finally delete and reappear for standard registration. By that stage, it has already failed multiple commercial tests. Serious investors, automated valuation systems, bulk buyers, and drop catchers all passed on it. That does not mean every dropped domain is worthless. It means the burden of proof is higher. You need to check historical use, spam footprint, backlink profile, trademark exposure, keyword demand, buyer logic, and whether the term has real resale potential. Many drop domains look available because they are clean. In reality, they are available because they were filtered out repeatedly. If you approach drops thinking you found hidden gold, you will accumulate weak inventory. If you approach them assuming they were rejected for a reason and demand strong evidence before registering, you will avoid most mistakes.

@paulmetcalfe Booking my ticket.

@AdamYamada -15 in the morning and -20 at night (C not F)

So long Norway. Thanks for the empty pistes and freezing my nuts off.

Is being too handsome a reason the LinkedIn algo does not like me?

@PSaezT Was the prompt simple or complex?

@AdamYamada It's amazing

Gemini can create songs now. Here's a terrible jingle for a business optimization company. Enjoy 🤣

@dynatodd Ideal for customer service pages. Different languages, different forms, different support teams.

We just launched Geo Forwarding. You can forward your domain to different URLs based on the country of the ip address of the visitor. This is a free service.

You don't need a huge audience to have a lot of success. It's better to find that niche audience and focus. Insurance Exam Queen (IEQ), aka Melissa Dillon, on YouTube is proof of that. She started her channel several years ago and has experience as a teacher and in the insurance industry. She combined both to help people pass insurance license exams with her YouTube channel. I can attest to the fact this material is quite boring... I feel asleep while studying for my Life & Health exam. I watched IEQ for the L&H License and passed. All thanks to watching these videos. Melissa makes learning about insurance fun, engaging, and interesting. IEQ has paid courses along with insurance classes and coaching sessions. The main part of the channel is free for anyone. She's made $1 million+ dollars since she started her channel. (Likely more now as this was what she made at the 4-year mark.) Currently the IEQ channel sits at around 8.2 million views. That's far from going viral but shows how a specific topic, need, and niche can be a great business. She has great reviews online everywhere. This includes on Reddit. People constantly mention her when Redditors ask about studying for resources for the Property & Casualty exam or the L&H. People are eager to jump to say how helpful and what a great teacher she is. She earned those mentions. Lots of people ask me how they can get similar mentions on Reddit. You need a great service or product. If you don't have that Reddit Marketing might actually hurt you. I see it all the time. Redditors are honest when something doesn't meet expectations or sucks. Most managers and executives are not prepared for this. Insurance Exam Queen far exceeds anyone expectations for a free product. That's why Melissa has been so successful with her insurance teaching business. Great service gets rewarded and mentioned on Reddit.

@mehrab_build This is what you have found for .xyz domains?

@AdamYamada TRUE 💯

If SEO matters to you, don’t buy these domains 👇 1. .xyz You’ll likely face indexing issues. It sometimes feels like Google has a personal problem with it. 2. .cc Often blocked by VPNs and firewalls, because of how much malware has been hosted on this TLD. 3. .top Same story as .xyz, not worth it. My go to domains: 1. .com 2. .ai 3. .org 4. .co 5. .net Other TLDs can work too, like .so or .app, but I usually stick to these.

Many people try to take over inactive subreddit communities through a process know as Reddit Request. The process is a bit complex for those new to it. Reddit has also additional guidelines for accounts doing a Reddit Request these days. For instance you need 2FA enabled on your account. Just because you want to take over a community through does not mean Reddit will let you do it. There are many factors beyond your control or something I can even advise a client on. Publicly some of what we know Reddit Admins have stated when reviewing requests as reasons for denial. 1. Moderator Experience If you are requesting a Reddit community that has a lot of potential traffic and users, but not Mod experience, Reddit may not like this. They like to see if you have Mod experience somewhere else. It helps to participate in Reddit, something I tell clients all the time. 2. No Reddit Activity If you are not upvoting, downvoting, or commenting on Reddit... why do you want run a community? Reddit typically want to see you are an active member in Reddit to let you manage a community. 3. NSFW (Not Safe for Work) Mod Experience This is more specific to NSFW, and some that focus on OnlyFans, but I've seen these get denied as well. NSFW subreddits come with a lot of extra headaches for mod duties. Be prepared for it if you want to take over a NSFW subreddit. 4. Inactive Moderation If you are already a Mod in a Reddit community and just let chaos happen in the subreddit you will definitely be denied. Again Reddit likes to see active participation in the community. 5. Too Much Modding If you have like 50 subreddits you are Modding for, Reddit will not like this either. Managing communites properly takes a lot of time, care, and mental energy. They prefer you focus on a few. 6. Account Suspensions If you have had any recent suspensions of Reddit accounts, this will not be looked on favorable by Reddit. 7. Community Bans If you have been banned from a lot of communities, Reddit will definitely take this into consideration. Why are you getting banned so much and why? 8. Violation of Reddit ToS If you have violated Reddit's Terms of Service this is a pretty obvious no. ____ Want a Reddit Request to go well? Shoot me a message and we can chat.

@AlexejKirillov Being able to spin up things using AI is incredible.

For someone like myself - who has great domains and attention of a puppy, AI coding has been amazing. It’s never been easier to develop, and in the last 6 months I brought to life: ContentCreators․com WebsiteAudit․com FutureOfGaming․com But, opportunity cost is real - and at some point need to consider if I’d be better off slapping a sales lander on and selling the domains only.

@PSaezT Acer will cover the repair.

@AdamYamada Install Ubuntu and see if it keeps shutting down. Or contact support. If it's new you should still be in the warranty period.

My new Acer laptop has an issue where it randomly shuts down. Throws a Kernel Error. Is this an Acer or Windows 11 issue? Any ideas how to fix it?
