It’s Saturday again!!
Over the past few weeks or months, to be more accurate, my blogging efforts have been reduced to these weekly domainer musings. These musings started in the summer with me wanting to just offload a few thoughts and then going to bask in all the fun that London has to offer.
Then as the work and projects got more demanded, these musings were simply used as a means of keeping the blog alive.
These musing focused on what was happening in the domain industry. As usual, I know I have pissed a few people off week in, week out. However people shouldn’t take it personal. I just see things differently.
Now, today is the last day of October, and that leaves only 2 more months in 2009. I believe 2010 will be huge for business, for most sectors. Domaining will be no different.
I have been treating 2009 as the year to prepare for the big bang. It’s all about repositioning your business for even more success. Getting ready for the spotlight.
With eBusinessDomains.com, my focus has always been on the end-user. Not much is being done in the domain industry to educate the wider world about the potential of domain names. This leaves people to believe what they hear, in the absence of compelling facts. And, most likely, they will hear that domainers are all squatters.
With eBusinessDomains.com I have always focused on having a design, setup, articles and supporting sites that will provide some sort of instant education for any newbies or clueless end-users that may just happen to reach eBusinessDomains.com.
I have been preparing this site to present it to end-users from all sectors. The key thing is to let the website do the talking.
I am a bit mindful about how I present my domaining business to end-users. The very first time I heard about domain names was in business meting many years ago, when someone somehow started talking about the domain squatters who registered the domain names of major companies, and then proceeded to contact these companies demanding exorbitant prices for the domains.
I believe that even today, even if a domainer contacts a company regarding the most generic of domain names, he will be seen as some form of squatter. In business, image and presentation is absolutely important.
This is something that the loud mouth domain “superstars” don’t seem to get. Here in London you see billboards advertising all sorts of conferences and tradeshows – religious, property, cars, guns, aeroplanes, you name it. Why is that not one of these domain conference organisers could ever muster the confidence to market the domain industry in business magazines, newspapers, billboards etc.?
So, what I’m trying to say is that these domain musings were about domainers and were for the most part, written for a domaining audience.
From a business perspective, that is wrong, and it has to change, NOW. As we prepare to enter a new year, and a new season, it is time to focus solely on efforts that will pull the attention of non-domainers and end-users. It’s time to engage the wider world. It’s time to take domaining to end-users.
As I have said, I have been focusing on getting eBusinessDomains.com ready for the end-user spotlight. I will be advertising in business magazines, newspapers, and all outlets where I can be assured to get the eyeballs of CEO’s, business executives, business leaders, brand specialists and entrepreneurs.
Now we can confidently take this step. eBusinessDomains.com now has the inventory. With over 500,000 quality aftermarket domain names, I am now confident that we have a domain name for every business sector and industry.
So, with immediate effect, I will be tuning out the domainer noise, and turning up the volume from the business world. I will not be blogging about domainers, to domainers, or even be mindful if domainers understand what I’m blogging about.
My focus will now be solely on educating the business world about how to use domains to enhance their business and to share any news that will help draw end-users to the ebusiness domaining world.
By the way, those trigger-happy domaining aggregators better get ready to censor my blog posts, as a few of them will have nothing to do with domaining. I’m well aware of their zeal to censor my posts more than anyone else’s, and as I normally don’t get a reply, don’t expect another email from me asking why. As a matter of fact, I won’t even be taking notice, as I no longer visit certain websites. Funny enough, the excessive and biased consorship inspired a lot of positive marketing initiatives here at eBusinessDomains.com. So in the end you did me a favor. Not having thin skin or anything, but while I’m on it, I did accidentally notice that I’m no longer being followed on Twitter. Hmmm. We are competitors, but come on now. Anyway, enough of that politics. Don’t worry if you as the reader is a bit confused
.
So, unless you are an entrepreneur interested in advancing your ebusiness, then you may not find my future posts useful. After all, domainers are all about stats and minisites, and you should by now know where I stand with those.
It’s time to mix business blogging, Internet marketing, SEO and all thing ebusiness with domains.
Have a great weekend!
