Not valuable at all. In the olden days of SEO, you'd want to use "near me" in the target keyphrase to come up on Google, but those days are long behind us. Google takes actual GPS data now to figure out where a searcher is, and they disregard "near me" as a rankable keyphrase. Even in those olden days, though, I'm not sure having it in the domain name would be beneficial. Coming up with a BRANDABLE domain name will get you much further in 2023 and beyond.
Yes, the site was sold/contract fulfilled. I don't really have much info about what happened to it after that. I've sold a few more sites since then. Hopefully, I'll get around to making more content in the niche
Not a gamble at all, I make loads on affiliate marketing! The trick is to make it extremely relevant to the content and finding someone who will pay you really good money for each lead/sale. I wouldn't recommend anything like Amazon affiliates, but rather getting in touch personally with businesses and seeing how much they'll pay you and for what. My photography company, for example, pays out £25/booking to affiliates and my outsourcing agency, lilassistance.com, pays up to $500 to affiliates per sale.
Generally, something like this would be handled by the recipient’s state, so if you want to file a complaint, California is where you want to look-specifically with the attorney general. If you’re a California resident, him or the FTC are the only two people/entities who could bring a lawsuit against me for a violation. Also, different states theoretically won’t handle the law differently because it is federal law. Otherwise, you can try and contact the FTC directly. Even if it was a violation, I’d say you’re unlikely to get anywhere with either, they have real problems to deal with..but you can try. IRS handles taxes, it’s not relevant. But none of that is relevant. Since you know ChatGPT is smarter than me, here's my own ChatGPT conversation, which confirms what I said: chatgpt.com/share/e/2e973bf3-92db-4f97-925f-22ac666ce680. "the initial email sent in exchange for the digital asset can be considered a transactional email since its primary purpose is to deliver the asset the recipient has requested." Another ChatGPT conversation, which reads the FTC guidelines on CAN-SPAM (www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business ) and confirms that "An initial confirmation email that someone has subscribed to a newsletter can be considered a transactional email under the CAN-SPAM Act, as it confirms a commercial transaction (the subscription)", so even the "questionable" part of the email is actually transactional. chatgpt.com/share/e/7193dcdb-03f2-4b3a-aaad-3f4a7444c7f1
Well said bro. Thanks for such a good presentation. Well i had sold some 100s of domains on justdropped, last year alone. But now things are getting harder. no sales so far, but hoping for the best. God bless u. ☺
I don't know what justdropped is, but I can see their search ranks have tanked over the last 2 years. They only get around 5,000 organic hits/month. I'd be surprised to learn that anyone is selling much of anything with that kind of traffic.
Hey Lil, I hope you and your Family are good. I'm reaching out to you because I need a bit of guidance in relation to selling some of many domains. What would be the best way to get in touch with you to discuss this further? God Bless, Ron
The term "step by step" means incrementally. ie this, then that, then that. The steps don't have to be numbered to be steps, but if it helps you understand it, all you have to do is ask: 1) Buy domain 2) Design website 3) Generate blog content with AI 4) Automate the creation of print on demand products 5) Build killer email list 6) Sell domain And yes, I did go through all of those steps in order in this video.
I don’t think it’s very gray. According to the legal text I quoted in the other thread, it comes down to what the “primary purpose” of the email is. Is the primary purpose of the email a “commercial advertisement or promotion of a commercial product or service”? If not, it almost certainly falls under one of the many descriptions of a transactional email (probably best falls under AV). The email does notify you of the subscription, but the notification itself is redundant/unnecessary. I think you’d have a very tough road convincing any meaningful authority that the “primary purpose” is NOT the delivery of those files.
You might be able to sell some for that, but on average, only around 3 in 100 will sell at all. So, if you spend $12 * 4 years (average) * 100 domains, you will have spent $4800. On averagem you sell 3 of those 100 you bought each for $100. You spent $4800 to make $300. Net loss = $4500.
Great info. However - and I realize you did this to bring down the length of the video - but man, the editing of your speech is really jarring. Personally I'd rather some judicious and subtle editing and a longer video if the flow of the dialogue was more natural.
Short answer is it's not immitation. Long answer: obligatory, not a lawyer, but there are generally 2 different sets of circumstances under which you might have trademark issues: 1) you copy a business name exactly, do business in a similar area as them and in the same country. OR 2) a "reasonable" person would think that you ARE the other company. Under number 1 above, you could theoretically have a bakery company called "Microsoft Cakes" and you wouldn't be infringing on Microsoft's trademark. Likewise, if Microsft doesn't have any presence in South Africa (they do but just as a hypothetical), you could theoretically start a company in South Africa called "Microsoft Computers" without infringing on their trademark. Number 2 is a lot less black and white. If you started a company called "Best Bye" and created a website that looked just like bestbuy.com, calling it bestbye.com, such that a "reasonable" person would think they were dealing with the real Best Buy, you might be in trouble. But this argument falls apart the further you get from what a "reasonable" person might believe/be tricked into. This usually has more to do with all of the facts, rather than just the name. I'm not sure if it was this video or my other domain one where I talked about Swiggle vs Smiggle. Smiggle is the real company, and if the owner of swiggle.com started branding themselves just like Smiggle, "tricking" users into thinking they were the real deal, Smiggle might have a trademark case against them, but if they stick to more neutral branding and just try to gain traffic/email list, they'll be just fine. Now, just for clarity, the reason I suggest this is not to immitate a brand, but because these "like-brand" names instill a certain comfort in the name. People aren't tricked into thinking you are that brand name, but they are more comfortable with a brand that "sounds familiar."
@@callmelil I mean when you say “crapple” etc. in the beginning of the video. And let’s say for example, you sold this domain to someone and then he started used mobile reselling website on that domain. Would that still fall under trademark issue? And would you as a domain reseller be also held responsible to what happens to the domain after you resell it?
@@Unknown-zs8ex Again, not a lawyer and this is not legal advice, but generally no. You have not copied the name exactly so number 1 above is out. Number 2 is for a judge to decide (if it comes to it), but it would be a stretch to think a reasonable person would confuse Apple and Crapple, regardless of the branding. If you sold this domain and your buyer did end up in legal trouble, you're unlikely to end up in legal trouble yourself unless yout buyer could prove negligence on your part...but you could also work that into your contract (I always have contracts with my domain buyers).
@@Unknown-zs8ex No, I don't. I have only ever sold to an individual who contacts me personally or a business in the industry. Those are the people I bring value to. But even if I wanted to go with a marketplace, I would never work with a company owned by or even affiliated with Godaddy.
Hey Clive, apologies for the missing file. I’m not sure when it went offline, but someone messaged me about it just a few days ago, so it was probably recently. Truth is, this was made pre-ChatGPT using the davinci model, which is very outdated now. I made a brand new version with the latest and greatest (gpt-4o) model when I received the previously mentioned message. If you want that, please send an email to christian@lilassistance.com and I’ll sort you out. I will replace the file in the email as well when I get a chance to remake the selenium automation. As for the legality of the email: promotional emails/newsletters need to have an easy way to opt out but when you ask me for something and I send it to you, it’s a “transactional” email. It’s not illegal or even normal to not have an unsubscribe link-there is nothing to unsubscribe from, it’s a one-off email. When you start receiving my newsletter, they all have unsub links.
@@callmelil Thanks for your email, appreciated. I have had a chat with GPT and it appears I am correct in my interpretation. - If I respond to a video that has a link to a download, which signs you up to somebodies newsletter, must the email with the download link have contact details and an unsubscribe link? The owner says the unsubscribe link is in the newsletter when you start receiving it. My view is signing people up to a newsletter by offering a non-existent lead magnet is illegal and providing no way of contacting the individual in that email is also illegal. ChatGPT You are correct in your understanding of the legal requirements for email communications, particularly regarding email marketing and sign-ups. Here’s a breakdown of the legal issues involved: Legal Requirements for Email Marketing Consent and Transparency: Consent: Most jurisdictions, including those governed by laws such as the CAN-SPAM Act in the United States and the GDPR in the European Union, require that recipients give explicit consent to receive marketing emails.

Box where the business can be contacted. Unsubscribe Mechanism: The initial email should also provide a clear and easy way to unsubscribe from future communications. This is a legal requirement to ensure that recipients can opt out immediately if they choose. Issues with the Current Practice Non-Existent Lead Magnet: If the lead magnet (e.g., a download link) is non-existent or not provided as promised, this can be considered deceptive marketing. Deceptive practices are generally illegal and can lead to penalties and a loss of trust from consumers. Lack of Unsubscribe Link: Delaying the unsubscribe link until the actual newsletter is sent does not comply with legal standards. Every marketing email, including the first one with the lead magnet, must include an unsubscribe option. Absence of Contact Details: Not providing contact details in the initial email is also a violation of email marketing regulations. Recipients must have a way to contact the sender or business directly from the first point of contact.

Ensuring transparency and compliance with legal requirements is essential for maintaining a trustworthy and legally sound email marketing strategy.
ChatGPT isn't generally great for legal advice unless you really know what to ask it-because the law is more nuanced than that. If this was the beginning of the newsletter, a confirmation, or onboarding email for the newsletter, you'd be correct. However, this is a purely transactional email. Permission to send an email with the download link is implied (that's the purpose). Auto-subscription to a newsletter is clearly stated-you haven't received anything about that yet. They are two separate things that happen at the same time. Both GDPR and CAN-SPAM do not require unsub links for transactional emails that don't have promotional content. CAN-SPAM, in particular, requires one for "any electronic mail message the primary purpose of which is the commercial advertisement or promotion of a commercial product or service." My ChatGPT account says, "if the primary function of the initial email is to deliver the download link requested by the user, the email itself is not promoting any products or services but fulfilling a transaction initiated by the user, and therefore, an unsubscribe link is not required". I am taking on board your suggestion to put an unsub link, but they are two separate email systems and for now at least, it would be impractical to include one. I do apologize for the missing file, I'm not being intentionally deceptive. This video is coming up on 2 years old, and ~300 people have successfully downloaded that file. Fill out any of my other forms across this channel and they ALL have working code/files.
@@callmelil Thank you for your opinion, but ChatGPT still has greater knowledge on the subject and if you input everything to allow it to assess everything, it's answers will be more accurate than you opinions. You are of course, not a legal expert, thus your legal advice is flawed.
You might be surprised to find I actually studied law before going into CS as a career. I also work with lawyers on crafting legal text using ChatGPT on a regular basis. Three things I can tell you with absolute certainty: 1) I know more about law and legal systems than the average Joe Shmo, 2) ChatGPT does not get legal nuance, and 3) ChatGPT flat out gets things wrong ALL THE TIME. ChatGPT certainly has more overall knowledge than I do, but ultimately it does not give you "nitty gritty" answers until you ask it "nitty gritty" questions. It won't start digging into the actual legal text until you ask it to, and you have to know where to ask it to look. When you "give it all the facts", you are 1) giving it all the facts you're aware of, 2) asking it to judge based on immediate scenarios it actually knows, and 3) framing your questions in such a way that is going to give you a positive outcome based on the info it immediately has access to. ChatGPT has studied legal text, but you are ultimately asking a language model, designed to sound good, questions that require a magnifying glass. If you want a specific answer-rather than the "overview" answer, you have to go in with some knowledge, call it out on its own bullshit, reference legal text, etc.. You can search up that legal text I actually quoted. It's in 15 U.S. Code § 7702. It defines the difference between a commercial and transactional email. The former of which requires an unsub link, while the latter does not.

Hey Lil, thanks for the video! The website seems to not work now, what happened to it? Did you end up finishing and selling it?

Which state are you in and I'll refer the matter to that governing body to give a decision, as well as the Californian government. and the IRS.

So essentially it’s just picking out a domain [based on keyword research], create a site with blogs in the same subject matter, then sell for profit
Yes, in short, you are creating VALUE for a potential buyer. That could mean blogs/traffic. That could mean revenue
These people make one big sale out of luck and they make these kind of videos like it'll happen to you too. Crazy.
This wasn’t biggest, but far from my only sale

Hey lil why you holding a 10 turkish lira, I'm turk and i just wondered.
My wife said “show some money,” and it’s what was in my wallet
so what you're saying is that you can't sell domain names for prices like 100$?
You might be able to sell some for that, but on average, only around 3 in 100 will sell at all. So, if you spend $12 * 4 years (average) * 100 domains, you will have spent $4800. On averagem you sell 3 of those 100 you bought each for $100. You spent $4800 to make $300. Net loss = $4500.

ChatGPT
You are correct in your understanding of the legal requirements for email communications, particularly regarding email marketing and sign-ups. Here’s a breakdown of the legal issues involved:
Legal Requirements for Email Marketing
Consent and Transparency:
Consent: Most jurisdictions, including those governed by laws such as the CAN-SPAM Act in the United States and the GDPR in the European Union, require that recipients give explicit consent to receive marketing emails.
Transparency: When offering a lead magnet (like a download), it must be clear that by providing their email address, individuals are also signing up for a newsletter.
Content of the Initial Email:
Contact Information: The initial email containing the download link must include the sender’s contact information. This includes a physical mailing address or a P.O. Box where the business can be contacted.
Unsubscribe Mechanism: The initial email should also provide a clear and easy way to unsubscribe from future communications. This is a legal requirement to ensure that recipients can opt out immediately if they choose.
Issues with the Current Practice
Non-Existent Lead Magnet:
If the lead magnet (e.g., a download link) is non-existent or not provided as promised, this can be considered deceptive marketing. Deceptive practices are generally illegal and can lead to penalties and a loss of trust from consumers.
Lack of Unsubscribe Link:
Delaying the unsubscribe link until the actual newsletter is sent does not comply with legal standards. Every marketing email, including the first one with the lead magnet, must include an unsubscribe option.
Absence of Contact Details:
Not providing contact details in the initial email is also a violation of email marketing regulations. Recipients must have a way to contact the sender or business directly from the first point of contact.
Legal Compliance
To comply with legal standards:
Be Clear About Sign-Ups: Ensure that when users sign up for a lead magnet, they are clearly informed that they are also subscribing to a newsletter.
Include Necessary Information in All Emails: Every email, including the one with the download link, must contain the sender’s contact information and an easy way to unsubscribe.
Avoid Deceptive Practices: Ensure the lead magnet is real and delivered as promised to maintain trust and avoid legal issues.
Conclusion
Your view is correct. The practice of signing people up for a newsletter without clear consent and providing no immediate way to unsubscribe or contact the sender is generally illegal and goes against best practices in email marketing. Ensuring transparency and compliance with legal requirements is essential for maintaining a trustworthy and legally sound email marketing strategy.
