The new top level domain playbook - DNW Podcast #596

from Domain Name Wire Podcast · host Andrew Alleman, Colin Campbell

The clock is ticking down if you want to apply for a top level domain name. Applications close on August 12.  On today's show, I talk with someone who has launched a top level domain name to better understand the business. Colin Campbell founded and launched .Club, which he later sold to GoDaddy. Today, he discusses the cold, hard reality of running a top level domain name. We talk about how long it took .club to turn a profit,  the keys to getting distribution, and why running a TLD is a marathon, not a sprint. Sure, there are challenges. But that's not to say it's not worth it. After all, Colin is applying again in this round. Mentioned in this show: DNW Podcast #455, Start. Scale. Exit. Repeat book Also: Telegram outage, Vint Cerf, Google TLDs, and more. Sponsor: Sell your domains with Sav.com domain landers
