What are you really selling -- your originality, or your monopoly on the domain name?
If you were really selling your originality, why not let people fill in a form, you do the brainstorming, and then find a domain name that suits the buyer's needs. Then you'd contribute real value.
But in the scenario you're describing you don't give people a choice to take advantage of your creativity, you force them to pay you a premium, even if they thought of the domain name themselves. That makes you a squatter.
- growt 17y agoIf I just tell them a free name after they filled the form, how would I get paid? If I register the domain I have an assurance that someone actually pays for the "idea".
- ErrantX 17y agothat's the risk factor: if you then offer them to purchase the domain from you at a reasonable price then you will likely get a sale :) this is a standard marketing technique. Buying the domains in advance (as pointed out many times over here) is an increased risk factor. I dont think you've considered this idea fully if you think that this approach is more financially risk (for you) than the one you originally pitched :)
