GM 😎 So much is happening. So many opportunities. So many potential customers everywhere. If I had AI when I was 20… The next 3–5 years are a goldmine. After that? It’ll be a different game. Young people today have no excuse.

Setup ready for outbound. Some will talk. Others will act. Guess who gets paid.

💡 Today’s domaining tip 💡 This chart (Google Trends) shows why “AI” beats almost every other keyword out there. That’s exactly why I’ve invested in 1,000+ AI domains over the past 4 years. If you don’t have strong cash flow, don’t waste money chasing other keywords that won’t last. Yes, I’ve said before that other niches can work but that’s for domainers holding thousands of domains... Over the next 10 years, there will be one dominant term used everywhere: AI. Just like cloud, phone, and laptop before it. For any other niche to work, you need exceptionally strong domains with ultra-premium keywords, otherwise, they simply won’t sell.

In life, there is no such thing as luck. Luck comes after years of study and practice. When you see people succeed, you call it “luck.” I do the opposite, I go back and check whether it really was luck or not. Here’s what I found about Tannane, the Best Goal of the Year: he had tried it many times before in his career. The difference? This time, the stage was the final and he was rewarded.

💡Today's Domaining Tip 💡 Why Registry Fees Matter to Your Domain Portfolio The infrastructure behind every .com domain you own is controlled by a single company "VeriSign" and this creates one of the strongest business models on the internet. Here's why domainers should care: ✅The Toll Road Economics: VeriSign operates as the exclusive registry for .com and .net domains, managing approximately 171.9 million registrations and processing over 450 billion DNS queries daily. They don't compete with you as a registrar; instead, they collect a fixed annual registry fee from every domain in these extensions. This means their revenue grows automatically as the domain base expands.​ ✅Why This Matters to Your Portfolio: Stability & Reliability 👉 VeriSign maintains 100% uptime across distributed infrastructure in 60+ nations. Your domains won't disappear due to infrastructure failure; the registry ensures every transaction is backed by institutional-grade resilience.​ Pricing Power 👉 VeriSign's exclusive ICANN contracts run through 2030 for .com and 2029 for .net. This means registry fees can only increase within contractual bounds. Unlike new gTLDs that compete on price, your .com and .net holdings benefit from this pricing stability and predictability.​ Perpetual Demand 👉 VeriSign just reported Q3 2025 revenue of $419.1 million (up 7.3% year-over-year) driven by 10.6 million new registrations, up from 9.3 million in Q3 2024. Businesses continue registering .com/.net because they remain the web's default choice. Your domains sit in an asset class that scales with internet growth itself.​ ✅The Domainer Takeaway: While VeriSign profits from the registry layer, domainers profit from the domain layer. The better VeriSign's business performs (growing registrations, price increases), the more valuable the .com and .net namespace becomes. Your portfolio is essentially leveraged to VeriSign's monopoly 🤷‍♂️and that monopoly has never been stronger. Focus on premium .com domains with strong fundamentals; the infrastructure beneath them is unshakeable.
