And as the year 2021 closes, which saw a surge in domain and website sales, OnlineBusiness.com seeks to educate prospects and investors looking ahead to 2022. 

“The term ‘starter site; is one, if you haven’t already come across it, that will be one of the top trends of 2022. What we’ve seen this year is a lot of companies rebranding themselves to ensure a solid digital presence for years to come which in turn opened some eyes to how the world does business post-pandemic. With that comes a lot of new ideas and innovations from small businesses and individuals who are looking to enter a lot of up and coming verticals,” said Michael Santiago, founder of OnlineBusiness.com. “They will want to be agile and quick in order to try and corner their piece of the market they are in. Starter Sites are the answer.”

The Top Online Business Trends for 2022 Reports OnlineBusiness.com

New York, NY – As 2021 comes to a close, OnlineBusiness.com, a digital marketplace for premium domains and starter sites, lists the top online business trends heading into 2022. In a year that continued reshaping marketing strategies and ways to reach target audiences, OnlineBusiness.com has seen some emerging trends in the digital marketing landscape. From the rebranding of many companies to many solopreneurs looking for a ready made website for sale, 2021 was a year to reflect on to help better prepare all business owners for a successful upcoming year.

“In general, there has been a year over year trend in news business applications, and with a 24% increase of new business between 2019 to 2020, there doesn’t appear to be any slow down. Along the same grain, most of those businesses are including an online marketing component to their business as the pandemic has made the need for a digital footprint essential,” said Michael Santiago, founder of OnlineBusiness.com. “We continue to research these trends to stay on top of the emerging niches and types of businesses that are thriving to ensure inventory for our clientele.”

OnlineBusiness.com highlights some of the major online business trends expected for 2022:

Digital Presence is Essential 

Having a digital presence for one’s business has become integral in most types of business and has been the determining factor if they have been able to sink or swim. Marketing online has become more important than ever and establishing a digital presence is very important.

Local SEO and Marketing

Local businesses have looked to local SEO marketing more than ever with ‘near me’ searches increasing more than 500% since the pandemic. This is important because it is known that 50% of users visit a store within a day of a local search, the number is higher if one is searching with their smartphone.

The Way We Shop

Social media channels are not just ways to drive traffic to your business but have become an extension of your business to convert right then and there. Shoppable social media posts have created customers out of consumers who are casually browsing their social media feed and hit with a targeted ad to purchase something.

Rebranding and Repositioning

We’ve seen many rebrands over the course of the pandemic as many companies look to reposition themselves for more purpose driven messaging and content.

In a day and age where consumers and readers are fighting fake news, truth and honesty is most important and many consumers want to ensure they are contributing to a company that is helping the cause and not worsening it.

By taking note of these trends, OnlineBusiness.com aims to translate that into continuing to offer a valuable marketplace for those looking for a premium domain, turnkey website for sale, affiliate website for sale, or looking to rebrand their business.

The Revolutionary Social Media Aggregator App Sprouter Is Coming To PC With New Data Analytics Features

blank

Minneapolis – Jan. 12, 2022- The Sprouter app has been a massive success with businesses and social media users who have used the app to streamline all their social media accounts into one handy application. Now Sprouter is coming to PC along with a variety of important data analytics updates. 

The incoming update will incorporate data analytics into both the smartphone and the new PC applications, giving companies, influencers, and social media fanatics the ability to monitor metrics across all platforms. Monitoring will cover follower growth, post-performance and other metrics across all registered social media accounts. 

Improved analytics will help Sprouter users understand what makes followers tick and open the door to improved marketing strategies and more popular posts. 

Daniel Everist, the founder and CEO of Sprouter, dropped out of college and built Sprouter to help businesses and individuals streamline how they manage their social media accounts. 

Daniel and his team developed Sprouter as the answer to the logistical issues presented by trying to manage dozens of social media accounts at once. It allows users to message friends, check all social media feeds in one place, and quickly connect with new friends and clients. 

Before Sprouter connecting on Instagram, Facebook, or any other social media platform was a painstakingly slow process that forced social media users to search for accounts individually. 

However, with Sprouter’s QR code system expanding your virtual social circle or expanding your business’s presence online is a breeze. 

Clients and new friends scan the QR code, which can be stored in a virtual wallet or printed physically, and they are re-directed to the social media accounts linked to Sprouter. 

The application presents an opportunity for companies to tap into the power of local business marketing. Customers that come and go from the establishment can seamlessly connect to the company’s social media pages using their smartphones.

For influencers, the application presents an opportunity to improve their accessibility online. Potential Followers will be able to connect to their new favorite online personality’s Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and other significant platforms with just a quick scan of a QR code. 

Despite the open nature of the application, it also emphasizes security by allowing users to alter how many profiles are being shared through the QR code while eliminating the need to hand over sensitive data such as email addresses, phone numbers, and full names. 

Anyone interested in using Sprouter to improve the management of their social media accounts or gain a more profound insight into how to grow their platform with data analytics should download the app from the Apple or Android store. For specific questions, the Sprouter’s customer service team can be contacted at  support@getsprouter.com or via a contact form on their website www.getsprouter.com

Blockchain Companies Contribute to Non Traditional .Com Domain Sales States OnlineBusiness.com

blank

New York, NY – At a time when crypto continues to hit all-time highs, Blockchain companies are showing a major interest in .xyz domains. When purchasing a domain, some investors gravitate to buy a website with traffic and one with the .com extension, However, Blockchain companies are going against the grain and according to DomainNameWire.com, Domain investor Swetha Yenugula has sold a number of her .xyz domains to blockchain-related companies.

OnlineBusiness.com is a digital marketplace for premium domains and starter sites and always looks at the latest domain sales to find trends within the industry. One such trend is how the Blockchain industry is making its mark in the domain industry by using non-.com domains. 

Some .xyz domains that are being used for blockchain projects include:

  • Flip.xyz
  • Talisman.xyz
  • Highlight.xyz
  • Decent.xyz
  • Agora.xyz
  • demeter.xyz

As an industry that looks to disrupt how we look at traditional payments and fiat, it’s no surprise that Blockchain-related companies are gravitating towards non-.com’s in what is usually the direction a relatively new industry would go in, especially when there is a lot of capital being pushed into these companies. 

And it’s not just .xyz that is gaining traction within the blockchain industry, domains with extensions such as .crypto, .eth, .nft, among others are hitting NFT marketplaces and selling for upwards of $100k. It is expected as cryptocurrency and blockchain continue to trend up so will these crypto domains and at some point in time start to reach the domain sales seen for .com domains. 

“As emerging tech such as blockchain continues to gain mainstream adoption, new GTLD domain sales continue to rise. Only time will tell the staying power of these new extensions but if we’re going by the current demand, there could be a major shift in the way investors approach their strategy on how to buy a website domain,” said Michael Santiago, Founder of OnlineBusiness.com

It isn’t to say that .com is going anyway soon nor is being looked over by blockchain companies. SushiSwap recently acquired Sushi.com for a purported $1.9M.

With the amount of funding going into Blockchain technology, one thing is for certain is that these companies also understand the importance of a premium domain name to increase their brand and reputation whether they opt for a non-traditional .xyz, trending .crypto, or the traditional .com.

For companies or investors looking to purchase domain names, OnlineBusiness.com has a growing portfolio of Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Domain Names.

Alan Gudiel of More Calls More Clients reveals the eight psychological biases marketers use to sell high end products and services.

blank

San Diego, CA – October 26, 2021 – People have a tendency to think that marketing tricks don’t, but the truth is that marketers have long had the “answers to the test”, in that they use humans pre-programmed brains and psychology against them to get them to buy. This means that even if someone learns all about every bias people have, they will never be free from them, and will always “fall” for them to a degree.

Of course, this does not mean that every person will buy every time a commercial or salesperson uses one of these tricks, but the tricks sure make a difference to their bottom line.

This article is going to focus on high-ticket expensive purchases and how people are influenced to buy them or spend more than they usually would. As with any business, much of this will always come down to presenting the right offer at the right price, and most importantly, to the right audience.

There are three biases related to the sell-er, followed by five more related to what they are sell-ing.

1) Conviction & Enthusiasm – Passion, emotion, and enthusiasm are all very contagious. That’s exactly why people are much more likely to like (and buy from) someone who is enthusiastic, and more importantly, completely sold themselves on what they are selling.

2) Optimism Bias – While the media loves to portray rich people as greedy, menacing, and unhappy, the truth is that many-to-most wealthy people are happy, positive, and optimistic about the (and their) future.

While there are always negative/pessimistic people in every market segment, incorporate hope and optimism when selling high-ticket offers to wealthier audiences.

3) Affinity Bias – People tend to like others similar to themselves and who like them back. Focusing on the first one, they are much more likely to like, trust, and buy from a seller who shares the same interests, goals, history, politics, hometown, enemies, or anything else.

4) Endowment Effect – This bias has many names, including the “IKEA Effect”, and it comes down to the fact that people can’t help but over-value the things that they had a hand in creating (ahem*kids).

By making an audience a co-creator, they’ll feel a strong attachment to the outcome of the creation, and they’ll happily pay more to support it!

5) Peltzman Effect – This is another bias with several names which people experience if they ever followed up a gym session by gorging on fast food, pizza, or ice cream. In other words, a tendency to over-compensate.

Marketers use this bias by asking questions like “Isn’t it about time you got some [attention], to balance out ALL of the sacrifices you’ve made and work you’ve put in to reach your goals? Reward yourself!” That’s a hard argument to disagree with.

6) Speed – The speed bias is true with most consumers, but especially with wealthier ones. This means that faster speeds and time saved tend to be high priorities with higher-ticket buyers.

Incorporate speed everywhere by having features such as, fast delivery, fast results, fast implementation, immediate access, and more.

Two related biases include recency bias which is when people favor what is new over what isn’t, and hyperbolic discounting, which means that people value everything “now” significantly more than that same thing later.

7) Exclusivity & Scarcity – Scarcity bias leads people to assign a higher value to things that are rare (or exclusive) from trinkets, to memberships, to event access, to secrets themselves, and more.

While it’s great to preach inclusion and sharing, it’s clear that most people prefer and often pay extra for exclusivity itself, aka something not everyone has access to.

One way of ensuring exclusivity, which probably deserves its own number, is personalization. Crafting and presenting a custom offer, specifically tailored to your prospect, can raise prices and everyone’s satisfaction.

8) In-Group Bias – When most people consider a purchase, they actually consider what someone like them (their ideal self-image) would do.

So marketers are intentional to:

1) remind prospects what kind of (great) person they are,

2) remind prospects what great people (like them) do,

and 3) make prospects an offer to join, support, and even remain in said in-group.

How One Company “Stole” Their Domain in a Billion Dollar Industry Highlights OnlineBusiness.com

blank

New York, NY – As a digital marketplace for premium domains and starter sites, the OnlineBusiness team is always monitoring the latest trends and burgeoning industries. It’s always interesting to see an upcoming industry explode right before our eyes but it makes for an even more interesting story when a company within that industry has the vision to acquire a domain for pennies in relation to their future valuation. This is what happened with Marshmallow.com

The “insurtech” industry has boomed since 2018 and is estimated to have a market size of over $300+ billion since then. A trend within the industry is for companies to have shorty, catchy, and seemingly irrelevant names related to insurance, such as Lemonade, Hippo and Oscar.

Marshmallow is another one of those companies in the insurtech that has recently hit a $1.25 billion valuation. 

So how much did they acquire the premium domain Marshmallow.com for back in 2018? Well, the number is surprising. According to Namebio, the company purchased it for only $12,500, a ‘steal’ in comparison to other domain purchases made by other companies in the industry.

“This goes to show you that there still are deals to be made, especially if you have the vision on what your company can and will become,” says Michael Santiago, founder of OnlineBusiness.com.

If you are a startup exploring options for the best domain name for your company, OnlineBusiness.com provides free consultation on how to select the right domain for your business.

How Shorter Domain Names Help Brands Thrive Reports OnlineBusiness.com

blank

New York, NY – Shorter domains have always been in demand. If one tried to register a 4-letter domain today, they’d be about a decade late in trying to register one. As more businesses understand the importance of a domain name, many are confronted with the question if a shorter domain name is better than a longer one. And if the cost associated with a shorter domain is justified. 

OnlineBusiness.com has assisted clients in answering such questions when it comes to purchasing the right domain for their business. “Choosing between a shorter domain or a longer domain is one that should be determined on a case by case basis, however, we do have some data to show initial advantages of having a shorter domain”, explains Anthony Santiago, Marketing Director of OnlineBusiness.com. 

Short domains are usually defined as two words or less, some say consist of no more than 5-8 characters. In general, there are many benefits of having a short domain for your business such as:

  • Easy to read, share and type on mobile
  • Easy to remember and has social media appeal
  • Takes up less space on printed material
  • Adds authoritativeness due to the rarity of short domains

Some have also said that there might be some SEO value in a short domain, and while Google itself has recommended one’s domain to not exceed 2-3 words and has commented that shorter names are easier to remember, there isn’t any strong evidence giving shorter domains an SEO advantage. However, with mobile traffic continuing to rise, we can likely assume that shorter names are easier to recall and visit from one’s phone.

One clear advantage of a short domain is its increased chance of being ‘catchy’ or ‘stick’ in one’s head as opposed to a longer domain. Take the example of MatadorApp.com, which rebranded to an ultra-premium and shorter domain in Public.com. Public.com is a domain name that is easily remembered and easy to spell as opposed to its original name, MatadorApp.com.

Some can argue that Public.com has had even further success and funding due to its ‘catchy’ domain name.

On the flip side, one downside which may stop someone from using a shorter domain for their company is that many shorter domains cost a premium as opposed to longer domain names.

CollectingCars.com for example rebranded to Collecting.com but did so at an expense of $70,000. 

“The general rule of thumb is that shorter is usually better unless there is a unique reason to include additional words such as geography or keywords”, said Anthony Santiago, Marketing Director at OnlineBusiness. “An increase in trust and authority can be a direct result of having the right domain name.” 

From OnlineBusiness.com’s past experiences, the advantages of a short domain name are very beneficial, it just needs to be taken into consideration if the short domain that fits one’s company has a domain available at the right price or if there is a longer domain name that may still work at a more reasonable cost basis.
