0. About me

@anvius 2017

Mathmatician, in domain market from 1997 (20yr OMG).

BigData and Machine Learning applied to domains.

My company is small (8 employees) with no office and using videoconference daily.

I live and work quietly in a sea village, Machine does everything. :-)

1. The problem (2011).

@anvius 2017

We was renewing over 5000 domains per year.

Sporadic sales only.

No annual profit (therefore no business)

2. Der prozess (not Kafkian)

@anvius 2017

We needed:

• Clean portfolio and select most profitable (probably) domains.
• Design strategy to buy and sell.
• Automate most processes.

3. Valuation.

@anvius 2017

Find relationship between data and price.

Using Machine Learning for training and analisys.

We are using linear regressions with each dataset.

We can mesure error gap.

4. Sell and buy.

@anvius 2017

We can mesure:

• Amount of domains we will sell.
• Expected profit we will do.
• Quantity of people interested in our domain.
• How much they can pay.
• How much time portfolio will live.

5. Next steps.

@anvius 2017

• Sell API for Valuation, Brands, Email to sell, etc...
• Expand to other languages: Chinese and English
• Accelerate growth with more domains (more than 100% per year)

Summary

@anvius 2017

• Automation has a multiplier effect that tends to infinity for (almost) everything.
• Machine learning can be more reliable than a human because it has no feelings toward a domain, so decision is more accurate.
