I was shocked! I didn’t expect domain names to have so many functions.

To outsiders, domain names are made up of only a few characters and don't look special. But even these seemingly ordinary domain names often contain great value, some of which are even more valuable than a car or a house, which makes many people willing to invest money in them.

Ways to make money - profit from domain names

When it comes to domain names, many people's first reaction is to invest and make money. Xu Jun, the "fourth master" of the domain name circle, once admitted that the industry that will make me the most money in the next five years may still be domain names.

Most people's original intention to enter the domain name circle is precisely because they see that it can bring benefits. There are many people who rely on domain name investment to make money. If you don't believe it, look:

Xie Yipeng made 17 million yuan by investing in 6-digit domain names

Captain Jack made eight-digit profits in one and a half years

Chen Donghong sold 7.cn and made millions of yuan

Maizi made eight-digit profits by investing in domain names

Chen Haonan made one million yuan in 4 months

...

To outsiders, domain names are made up of only a few characters and don't look special. But these seemingly ordinary domain names often contain great value, some of which are even more valuable than a car or a house, which makes many people willing to invest money in them.

Terminal essential - use domain names to build websites

In addition to bringing income, domain names can also be used to build websites to maximize value. Any company that wants to make a big splash on the Internet needs a domain name to pave the way for itself.

At present, many domain names have been enabled by terminals, such as maiche.com (Buy Car Network), kaijia.com (Armor Network), dfp.com (Dongfeng Shares), v5.com (V5 Mobile Games), etc., which shows how important domain names are.

The domain name is the facade of the website, an important way for users to access the platform, a traffic entrance, and also the foundation for enterprises to be based on the Internet, and plays an important role in their project development and operation.

Shocked! I didn't expect that domain names have so many functions

Publicity needs - use domain names to enhance brand image

Another important reason why domain names are so popular with terminals is that they can help companies advertise and promote brands, thereby obtaining more traffic.

No matter how wealthy a company is, it can't spend money on advertising every day, but having a good domain name that fits the brand is different. It can save advertising fees and help improve the brand image.

Nowadays, many companies are willing to spend a lot of money to acquire good domain names, such as JD.com (jd.com), Xiaomi (mi.com), 37 Games (37.com), Fifth Avenue (wan.com), etc. These domain names have become a brand identity and are deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Out of love - domain names as "collections"

An investor once told me that domain names can be collected like antiques. For example, Huang Zhenxuan used domain names as a collection before 2010, and there are many people like this.

Previously, investor Ray spent seven figures to buy 373.com from Gou Die because he wanted to collect it. The founder of Xiaopi Games also bought the single-spelling domain name sai.com for the same reason. Sometimes, the purpose of buying a domain name is not only to make money, but also to collect it and build a website you like.

Exchange virtual for real - buy a house with a domain name

In fact, as early as 2010, there were media reports that a migrant worker in Changchun wanted to exchange a house with a domain name he registered. Although he did not succeed at the time, it was enough to open people's minds. It turns out that domain names can be used in this way.

In April 2016, in Xuancheng, Yunnan, China, a domain name investor named Zhang Yao used 400 6-digit .com domain names to exchange for a house worth more than 410,000 yuan and a construction area of 143 square meters from a real estate boss. This move also ignited the imagination of many netizens. Perhaps there will be more and more cases of buying houses with domain names in the future, and domain names can also embark on the road of commercial transactions.

Another way to express love - give domain names

Domain names can be transferred and bought and sold. "National Husband" Wang Sicong's wanda.com was given by investor Xu Xianming. Of course, in addition to this form of gifting, using a domain name with special meaning to express love for relatives is also a unique flavor.

Before Father's Day in 2016, a domain name investor named "Lin Xi" bought a 3-digit domain name 521.cn, which is homophonic to "I love you". He bought this domain name for nothing else but as a gift for his daughter who is about to be born. The same fatherly love has different forms of expression.

This reminds me of a sentence: "If there is a man who likes you without makeup, he feels distressed when you are thin and happy when you are fat... then he must be your father, only your father."

Having said so much, this small domain name is really useful. It can not only make money, but also help companies promote their brands. It can even be used when buying houses and giving gifts. No wonder so many terminals and investors love it so much!
