Late Night Chat, and Domain Registrations Don’t Mix

To be clear, this wasn’t Crystal’s fault. I am not blaming her for this, but the fact is that after talking to her in the chat room at Fresh Wonders, I came up with the idea to register eight domains based on the words “Live Success“.

Now it’s not as if I don’t have enough things to work on right now, so I’m not sure what I’m even going to do with eight versions of “Live Success”!

When I did a domain search, a similar name came up as a “Premium Domain” name which happens to be for sale for $2,588.00, so until I can figure out what I can do to develop them myself, I decided to park them and put them up for sale. If someone does offer to purchase them from me, I certainly wouldn’t mind getting some cash up front! Otherwise, I think they may work well as some kind of motivational site.

When I begin to type “live success” into the search box, Google suggests looking for things like “eat to live success”, “52 Ways to Live Success” (a book I haven’t heard of, but a lot of people must be interested in it), “how to live successfully”, and “quake live success”. I could probably do well with “eat to live well” and “how to live successfully”, but I don’t know much about the other two.

Using more Google tools I can see some search volume for the words, not the greatest results I’ve seen, but by combining it with other results, I can see the top searches that include these words are “live for success”, “success in life”, “quotes about success”, “xbox live success” and “quotes for success”. I can also see that the Rising search lists “quotes for success”, “quotes about success”, “live for success”, and “success in life” as terms that are becoming popular.

Armed with this knowledge, I can most likely build and monetize a very nice site if I don’t find anyone interested in purchasing the domain names from me. Of course, I didn’t figure any of this out until well after actually registering the domains, so I still have to ask: “What was I thinking!?”

Sounds like a really interesting niche, Dan! Why not? :)

Nice looking spot you have carved out on the beach, Dan.

You never know what might ‘accidently’ happen. That X-Box thing could be a great deal for a year ’round niche. Or, most everyone can eat successfully :D

Crystal can be quite the inspirational angel, can’t she? I have to laugh but not at you. The fact is I have done the same, thing in the past.

With that said, It seems to me you were passionate about what you were doing at the time. Rope it, tie it all up and “Live Success”. That passion will lead you to greatness if you let it.

You made me chuckle, Dan! Actually, I know a guy who makes some serious cash each month selling domain names.

I get dreadfully distracted because I hear “good ideas” and then worry about whether I should act on them or not.

Dan it seems like you have got something here but I think I will resist the temptation to start doing this sort of thing because I am trying so hard to see something through before I start on something else :)

And oh it is sooooo hard because there are so many “good ideas” out there!

This made me smile! You may have the last laugh though, Dan, if you go ahead and develop your new domains. Could be the best move you ever made. (And if not, as you say, you can always sell ‘em on!)

Love the title of your blog. It has to be one of my favorite questions to myself. I too have had episodes of late night “chat-initis” myself. :D Just curious… any updates on how your domains are selling/going?

I don’t have time for a full post, but I haven’t sold any domains yet. I did take http://live-success.com/ and started building a site.
