We’ve Soft Launched One of Our First Big Sites: StudentLoanCenter.com
We haven’t made a big marketing push yet to Banks or Issuers, but we’ve soft launched the Student Loan Center site so we can work on SEO and uploading content.
We acquired StudentLoanCenter.com on the domain aftermarket last year and even the type-in traffic is over a thousand visitors each month. If you’re a domainer or webmaster and have advice on the best way to get quality listings, we’d love to hear from you.
We also acquired StudentLoanCenter.org, shortly after we picked up the .com on NameJet.
Obviously, the biggest challenge will be ensuring we have high quality listings and resources on the website, so we can have a trustworthy brand and that’s what we’re striving to do. We were going to use our CJ.com ‘Commission Junction’ account to post affiliate ads, but on the advice of other Domainers, we decided against it since we could probably generate more revenue through direct advertising.
The site has a long way to go, but if you have time, we’d appreciate your feedback.
Need to Sell Some of Your Domains to Yield Cash? Try Rick Latona’s Newsletter
We made a decision a few months ago to raise some cash, and the staff at RickLatona.com have been great in assisting us with several transactions over the last few months. We’ve been able to promptly sell several of our domain name assets and convert them into cash. There are other fabulous companies out there that can help your business such as Bido.com, but the quickest solution to liquidate we’ve found is through Rick Latona’s newsletter.
Sure, we realize we may have gotten higher prices with patience and timing, but they’ve been able to help us raise some much needed cash.
Rick Latona’s company will serve as an Esrcow during the transaction which makes things very smooth. If you want to submit domains to Rick’s newsletter, make sure you have a price in mind before you submit them. Once you reach an agreement on price, they will promptly list your names in their newsletter and notify you right away if there is a Buyer.
Thanks to the staff at Rick Latona.
Domain Name RobbsCelebs.org at NameJet, Original Owner Ran Popular Website
Robb of RobbsCelebs.co.uk worked for years on a very popular celebrity skin website, until last year when he unexpectedly passed away according to various internet sites.
One of his domain names RobbsCelebs.org is currently at NameJet and has 3 bids. If you check domaintools, you’ll notice the domain is still registered under his company name and still receives traffic.
Not sure if Robb’s estate is aware of the names expiring, but we have no plans to bid on the name.
