Tips for buying domain names ebook
When I first started out in self-employment, I traded under the name ‘New Dawn Graphics’. Looking back, there’s a touch of cringe-worthiness about my choice, and I can vividly remember the arduous journey involved when deciding upon a business name.
It’s vital to work under a name you’re 100% happy with, but equally essential is the availability of the corresponding domain name. My naming process would’ve been a lot smoother if only there was an easily accessible a source of tips for buying domain names.
Now, three years on, there is such a source. Daniel Scocco, of Daily Blog Tips, has today published his first ever ebook, Killer Domains. Two days ago, Daniel kindly sent me an evaluation copy, which I opened almost immediately. I knew if the content was anything like what Daniel publishes on his website, the ebook would be an excellent resource for domain name buyers.
I certainly wasn’t disappointed.
The ebook is 50 pages in length, and following an insightful introduction, there are six chapters full of valuable tips to help you when researching, choosing, buying and managing a domain name:
- The 7 Characteristics Of Good Domain Names
- The Process Of Researching Domain Names
- Keyword Research
- Prefixes And Suffixes
- Tools And Resources
- Registering And Managing Domain Names
Since first buying the newdawngraphics.com domain name, I’ve accumulated between 10 and 15 others. There are only two main websites I run (this one and Logo Design Love), but you’ll learn in Daniel’s ebook why it’s important to cover more than just one base.
Killer Domains is available now, for the cost-effective price of $17 (less than £9). The button below takes you to a purchase page.
Aternatively, if you’d like some more info, visit Daily Blog Tips to see what Daniel, the author, has to say. Here’s a quick quote:
I am pretty sure that the ebook will be worth the $17 for the buyers. A good two-word domain name sells easily for $100, so even if you manage to find just one domain using the tools and techniques described you already recovered the money. If you end up finding a cool domain for your new website or blog, the ebook will probably be even more valuable to you.
That being said, if after reading and trying to use the described methods you arrive to the conclusion that this is not what you were looking for, just shoot me an email and I will refund your money.
A 100% money-back guarantee! I doubt there’ll be many people asking for a refund. Daniel, thanks very much for piecing these domain name tips together. I learnt quite a lot from the ebook, and am sure many others will too.

“New Dawn Graphics”………I remember that from your look back at your websites over the years! Sounds like your were thinking about starting a cult with that name! Or some church like group! The prophet of graphic design shall rise!

Thanks for the recommendation – I will be following Daily Blog Tips and probably getting the book for additional domain purchases.

Siddharth,
I’ve noticed you comment on Daily Blog Tips before, and completely agree with you on the help Daniel offers to blog authors. Even now I’m using one of Daniel’s WordPress plugins to power this blog.
Brian,
Everything was going great with the New Dawn Graphics cult, until the local authorities decided to step in. My plan was scuppered. I now have a new strategy, however, and will soon be changing the name of this site to, “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Apocalypse”.
Sandy,
You’re very welcome. I can highly recommend the ebook, and I don’t often get the chance to say that. The content includes some excellent tools, tips and resources.
His tips on his blog sure are gold. I just trimmed my feeds back but he was one who stayed.
The only problem with buying books is that I already have so many others that are “must reads”, just not enough time and money for them all but this definitely seems interesting.

Hi David
Are you still holding on to newdawngraphics.com? Older domain names are now becoming valuable because their maturity seems to give them a little bit of a boost with the search engines. I’ve bought loads of domain names over the last few years – it can get a bit addictive, can’t it? I should have held onto a few and maybe tried flogging them. Damn! Back to my get rich slow scheme of hard graft ….

I agree, Jermayn. Daniel provides a continuous flow of relevant info for bloggers. I’m a long-term subscriber too.
Jennifer,
I’ve still got newdawngraphics.com on my hands. Not sure how much it’d be worth (not a lot I guess), but maybe I’ll keep it for more sentimental reasons. ;)
Very good stuff. I went back to an old article – website grader – did the entry and got a 90. Not bad considering I don’t really use all the things needed to get it up there.
So how goes it in your part of the world?
