Domain Acquisition Strategy

Sam Ovens shares how he acquired the valuable domain consulting.com by using a simple but effective approach.

Key Points:

• Domain Discovery:
  • Went to consulting.com URL directly
  • Found inactive/unused website
• Owner Research:
  • Used MX Toolbox to identify domain owner
  • Located owner's contact information
• Acquisition Process:
  • Sent direct email asking if they wanted to sell
  • Owner agreed to sell
  • Purchased domain for $300,000

This demonstrates a straightforward approach to acquiring premium domains:

• Check desired domains directly
• Use technical tools to find owners
• Make direct contact
• Be prepared to invest significant capital for premium names

The strategy worked for acquiring a highly valuable industry domain that later became the foundation for a $30M+ revenue business.
