Goals for the New Year: IDNs & New gTLDs
Published January 9, 2012 | 
The first of the year is always a good time to reflect, evaluate, and make plans for the coming year. So here goes my list, these may be in the form of tasks, goals, or projects to accomplish this year. Some may be minor and take only a small amount of time others may take a significant allocation of time and resources this year. So here it goes….
- Make sure all my domains have potential to earn revenue and are optimized. Many times the dns for a domain will be set to the registrar, which may or not allow you to collect parking revenue from the domain. Secondly the domain’s dns may be set to the parking companies servers but its not in your account. Finally clean up hosting accounts to ensure there are not any orphaned websites.
- List domains for sale in multiple places, SEDO, afternic, forum posting ect, where appropriate. Also try and get a sales page up on idnplace.com
- Fully develop at least 1 domain (definition on fully develop to come later)
- Start actively posting on IDNPlace (actively means at least once a week)
- Finish the IDNebook I have been working on. It will be available for download via IDNPlace hopefully soon.
- Market at least 1IDNvia an email marketing campaign.
- Start sharing drops with my readers, why share,…. well considering that I well over my desired level of investment in IDNs as far as number of domains and I am trying to become more focused via language and niche I can’t go after them all….. well at least I don’t think I can. So I will probably start an email list forIDNdrops of interest to me. Check back to sign up.
- Give at least 1 of the new gTLDS serious consideration
- ….. still working on a few
- Would love to hear yours or thoughts on mine Cheers and happy New Year
