Discussing Afternic Boost and if it’s worth it.
Last week, Afternic announced Afternic Boost, a new program that the company says will increase sales up to 10%. While everyone likes to sell more domains, the announcement landed like a lead balloon with most people I’ve talked to. The key reason is that you have to give up the majority of your gains in the form of higher commissions.
There are other things not to like about the program, and today domain investor Mark Levine joins me to discuss the new program and our takeaways.

Not a chance in hell. I despise paying 25% as it is for next to nothing. Prefer to do using Escrow.com . I would prefer to give customer 15% off price.
I’d like this interview better if it didn’t keep referencing 15% commission, when tons of us are already stuck with 25% commission since we want to use our own landers, and not give away the data.
kind of squishy
