A great domain name helped this entrepreneur launch his business.
When Ryan Maltbie had less than $1,000 left in his bank account, he decided to do something bold: bet his family’s future on a new ecommerce store that sold BBQ grills. Fortunately, he had deep industry relationships to get started and a killer domain, BBQGrills.com. It’s been less than 18 months since launching the site, but it recently did over $500,000 in revenue in a single month. In this episode, we talk about building this business and the importance of the great domain name.
Also: Patsy Cline, System1, Walmart.com and more.

No Facebook pixels tracking?? “BBQ grills” keywords doesn’t show up in Google search. Must be all social traffic.

USELESS?
A EMD keyword dot-COM is never USELESS, as CarParts.com has inherent value as an asset. Sure, an individual or business with experience in the car parts industry can build an active business on the site.
Specifically, BBQGrills.com had inherent value WITHOUT a business; which is why the interviewee mortgaged his home to acquire it…
