Hi there,

So I have some news for you.

I have decided to leave GoDaddy. My last day is April 28.

GoDaddy acquired my company, DNAcademy, last year and it is now 100% integrated as GoDaddy Domain Academy. The entire course and toolset is rebuilt from the ground-up and I'm excited about a couple of new tools we have in development.

The GoDaddy employees in the Domains division are smart, hard working, and care about their customers. I'll miss working with them.

I've been in and out of retirement since 2008 and am excited to spend the summer playing pickleball and deep-diving into the exciting world of artificial intelligence.

If that interests you, stay tuned! 🤖 

But don't worry, I'm still a domain investor first and foremost, and I look forward to staying involved in the industry, on Clubhouse, and Zoom socials.

And watch out: there will be another bidder in the hot GoDaddy Auctions starting in May! 🚀

Here are my top 5️⃣-for-Friday domain tweets from this week.

Have a great weekend, my friend!

We all start on square one.

Learn how to buy domain names that others want, but not risk too much.

Prove out our model, then move-up in price or scale-up in quantity.

Nothing wrong with either path.

And either way, we're likely to move-up in price too.

Without domain name sales information, domain name investing is more difficult.

If you have the means, I suggest you support NameBio with a subscription.

One of the benefits is these emails, which I love getting in my inbox.

Because who has time to check a website daily?

(Check the yearly pricing for 50% off. I have no affiliation nor receive no benefit from recommending.)

Commit to excellence if it's important to you.

Every year I'm amazed at the new investors that are succeeding in domain name investing.

Tony. Busy Father. Leanne.

And many, many more.

It would have been great to hand register single words in .com 30 years ago.

It's also great to buy two word .coms before everyone else today.

The first quarter of 2023 was slow for a majority of respondents in this week's poll.

Interestingly, a decent percentage were higher or about what they expected.

Don't forget to update your ****AI.com price in Sedo.

Don't list your landing page price higher than in Afternic.

Don't forget to remove your pricing from marketplaces when in negotiations.

It's a lot of hard work.

Hopefully someone will solve this soon.
