Welcome to our second episode of Domainer Income TV.
This episode is HUGE – both in content and length! It’s one of the longest episodes we have recorded (29 mins), and its so big we had to split it up into two parts – just to fit on YouTube. For the second half of the video click here. If you use an iPhone or iPad, subscribe to our iTunes channel and you can download the entire episode.
Episode 2 is jam packed full of wisdom from two experienced domain investors that are known the world over. I’m talking about Michael and David Castello.
I know you will want to watch this episode straight away, but I’d strongly encourage you to get a pen and paper, because you will be taking down a LOT of notes. I also have no doubt, that many people who are new to domaining and buying / selling web sites will have a new perspective on the industry after watching this episode.
While it takes a LOT of time and resources to put together one episode of Domainer Income TV, I’d like to thank both Michael and David for their time and hospitality while we were filming in Palm Springs (and yes they own PalmSprings.com as well as many other premium gTLD’s).
As always, if you have any quetions or feedback, please post a comment below and let us know what you think. Your question might be read out and answered on our next show.
Once again Simon, a very enjoyable interview. Michael and David alluded to the Madison Avenue advertising agencies and other large corporate entities still not yet fully grasping the significance of premium domain names. It’s quite obvious for example that something like PalmSprings.com is a powerful brand. Why have the larger media corps been so slow to rally around very high-quality domains … while spending exorbitant sums on more traditional ads? I don’t believe these supposedly polished larger firms have it figured out yet. Perhaps just slow to change.
Reminds me somewhat of the newspaper industry blindly stumbling forward on their past merits thinking the gravy train would never end for them. It seems inevitable that a sea change will come. However, not as quickly as some expected.
The most inspirational piece of David and Michael’s story was the determination to run with what they had, and not allow themselves to be limited by the backward thinking of the local newspaper and other old-style entrenched “experts”.
Wow – Thanks Max! Great feedback and insight into the interview. David and Michaels story is an inspiration. It’s certainly one of the best (and most enjoyable) interviews I have done to date.
Congratulations for a great show and production. Thank you!
Simon,
Fantastic Interview! I really enjoyed the answers to the question about “Starting Over… What would you do?” It makes me think that I still have a chance… if I put in the time. I like the “trading up” strategy that they mentioned. I appreciate you doing the interview and posting it! Cheers!
