Take stock of your top Domains.
On Twitter yesterday, Shane Cultra said he didn’t know why so many people keep their domain portfolio private.
2nd thought. If you are ashamed to publish your top 50 names then essentially you already know that your names aren’t that good. Which is fine unless you operate as a domain investing expert
— Domain Shane Cultra (@DomainShane) August 22, 2019
I asked Shane what his current top 10 domains were, and he has a nice list. I also created my top ten list (all .com):
DNW
Astounding
Lakeway
Comptroller
Comatose
CandyCorn
BagCheck
ExecutivePay
RoyaltyCheck
Brainstorms
After coming up with this list within a few minutes, I decided to take stock of my overall portfolio.
I’ve said this before, but my main business is Domain Name Wire. Domain investing is secondary. I also run PodcastGuests.com, which has turned into a nice business.
I roll over my cash from domain sales into domain purchases. I don’t need to throw off excess cash from my portfolio because of my other businesses.
Looking at the market and what I’m buying lately, I’ve been focusing on domains that I can resell for $1k-$5k. I’ve added a couple of hundred domains to my portfolio over the year, but most have been acquired for under $200 on GoDaddy Auctions.
This is probably reflected in my top domain list. My domain investing isn’t focused on blockbuster sales. I’m impressed with people who do that but it’s not how I play the market. So I like my top ten list, but beyond 20 or so domains my portfolio drops off in a hurry.
Beyond my top 10 domains, here are some others I like:
DataMapping – becoming a big business
Leptospirosis – it’s long, but the other day at the vet I was told I need to get this vaccine for my dog
USMCA – I created a simple site on this domain and it gets hundreds of visits per day.
PatentLicensing and PatentMining – I spent time in this business. It’s big.
LeftofCenter – A three word domain that gets lots of purchase inquiries.
PodcastSearch – As you know, I’m big on podcasts.
Heists and CrimeSpree – They have negative connotations but I like them.
ShowMeState – Since I grew up in Missouri.
CivilForfeiture – I bought this because I was frustrated about civil forfeiture. Its days are probably coming to an end now.
HullSpeed – Great brand.
What are your top 10 domains.
Kevin Murphy says
A better question might be: what are your all-time best, including the ones you already sold?

Andrew, nice list of domains. I own brainstorm in a few extensions. Wish I had the .com.
You do a super job on your podcasts — as podcasts are booming now, I believe you should expand beyond domans — maybe have guests who specialize in alternative investments and IP.

There you go, lots of transparency and nothing to hide.

Just like yourself, domain investing is secondary for me. I used to be very transparent, publishing a monthly report on my blog, writing about my purchases and sales, when I started investing in domains as it was a great way to get feedback, learn and enage with others.
I haven’t done that in years but I have a public marketplace site for anyone interested to browse my inventory. My focuss hasn’t changed much over the years, I still go for names that I believe make great brands. Here’s my current top 10, in no particular order.
MovingUp-com
StarTalent-com
BadMonkey-com
Zuha-com
Olki-com
Irso-com
Scan-co
Catalyst-co

Without any offers these domains will suck and you will be right. However, I have received several offer of 4 figures and one offer in 5 figure. If you have not invested in them, naturally you have not received any offers and you do not understand the value.
My most recent sale was last week at DAN.com for $500 for one of nice domain which ranked around 80 in my personal list.

Trolls like telling ppl their domains suck all the time, not even worth answering them, let them fail. I just assume guys like that are JB Lions, IMDOER, or most any PRO from namepros that talks behind ppls backs. Many of those that publish these blogs will pump on .com all the time too, sure they see their traffic has been falling (too dumb to figure out why).
These types a bunch of 2 word .coms and see the ngtld penetrating all around them, so they treat us like Sh!t, ridiculing us between themselves in private. We know who they are, and when we’re on top, we won’t hit and run, well have them stuck under our boot.
I think your ask.doctor and medical.help are your best ones by far.

Thanks for topic and you awesome posts and podcasts all year, Andrew. Some off the lists in reply are truly inspirational!
I view myself as more a domain analyst than investor, and as a retired person domain investing mainly as a hobby I generally use a bootstrap approach of building my portfolio from proceeds of sales, rather than investing anything significantly in startup funding of the portfolio.
Anyway, here is my list. I decided to take the twist of allowing myself just a single entry from any one TLD.
manufacture .one
your .pH
roboadvised .com
scoot .best
broadcasts .me
reputations .pro
PB .coach
CRISPR .science
melodic .ca
phrases .online
The list is somewhat ordered – my favourite is manufacture .one that I like so much for prototyping, custom manufacture, artisan craft, 3D printing etc.
