Another "What Would YOU Do With This Domain" Question

So on a whim, I bought tion.club a while back. Any thought on decent ways to use it? I bought it for it's massive subdomain potential, i.e. anima.tion.club, playsta.tion.club, demoli.tion.club, etc.

What are your opinions?

Thanks,
Phil

  • I think its a waste. Tion, really?

    Too many sub domains to type...

    • Agreed. But the subdomain possibilities are massive, marketing wise.
  • Hi Phil,

    I think it'd have tons of potential.....without that first dot Not sure if people will be typing in the first dot anytime soon. But that's just me.

    I'd deep six 'em and pick something memorable, easy to remember and most importantly, a domain you feel passionate about because your passion is where that monster potential is.

    All the best!

  • I'd use this in such a way that people dont have to type in the domain from memory, since remembering that first dot would be really tough.

    Maybe put it on a business card or physical marketing items, like an invitation to the "playstation club" or something. So that people could look at the actual text and chuckle because its a neat domain ^.^
  • Its clever thinking, don't ever be ridiculed for clever thinking

    As for what to do with it, well you said yourself..just try something out

    With the internet, people don't always have to remember or type in the address if theres a link for them to click =)

  • Exactly - marketing potential. But it needs to be a clickable link, otherwise it's "usability" gets lost.

    • Phil,

      Why did you register the name in the first place? Surely you had some idea of what you would do with it.

      The flaw in your thinking . . . "the subdomain possibilities are massive, marketing wise" . . . IMO, is that there is a solid marketing angle or premise that you can profitably exploit. I have no idea what that might be - and apparently you don't either.

      I can't think on one good reason why someone would want to invest in or spend effort working on a subdomain that they didn't control. Unless you come up with a one-in-a-million idea like Facebook or Twitter (it's not going to happen, sorry) I would just drop the domain and focus your effort on a business you can create and run.

      I've owned many, many domains that I bought on a whim because I thought they had great potential. Nearly every one I have just dropped because I never got around to developing them.

    I woudn't want it but if there's a reason you bought it, use it and see. It won't be worth registration fee if you don't. It's not a domain with a subdomain that will be memorable to people. They would have to click on it from a link most likely. That's a drawback.
  • I think this is the only use you're going to get out of it.
  • Exactly. That's the reason why I bought it.
