Summer is over. Let's get down to business.

 

I was so happy to sit down at my laptop this morning to create this latest DNW newsletter.

August is a difficult month as a solopreneur. As a blogger, it's even more challenging. Half of the world is on vacation. College students are just returning to class. News slows to a trickle.

I know I'm not alone in having these feelings. Elliot Silver of DomainInvesting.com published a poll last month asking if August was bad for domain sales. The majority of respondents said yes.

The U.S. Labor Day holiday yesterday is the unofficial end of summer in the States, which means that we can all get back to business now. With that in mind, please contact me if:

1. You have interesting news to share.
2. You have a good idea for a podcast guest.
3. You have a partnership, business or sponsorship inquiry.


Although August was slow, there was still some news. Let's take a look at the top stories on DNW last month, as ranked by pageviews:

1. Betsy Riot trolls NRA Lobbyist's wife with domain name - Anti-NRA gun control advocates successfully defended a domain name in a UDRP that they used to troll an NRA lobbyist's wife.

2. Living as a Digital Nomad for a month - Many domain investors can live and work from anywhere. Here was my experience setting up camp in Seattle for a month.

3. California.com sells as part of big domain name transaction - The seven-figure transaction included 10 domain names.

4. Allstate is no longer in .GoodHands - Allstate is giving up its .goodhands new top level domain name.

5. Former NFL player Shawne Merriman wanted LightsOut.com, but panelist disagreed - His clothing company tried to get a domain name through UDRP.


Podcasts

I'm guilty of taking a bit of vacation in August, too. I only published three podcasts. But they're good, so pop in those AirPods and have a listen:

#199 - Crowdsourcing (domain) name selection - listen
#198 - New TLD Economics with Colin Campbell - listen
#197 - Top Domain Sales of the Year - listen
