I need your ideas- SIMPLY.DO domain name

    Hi. I recently snapped the domain simply.do. I want to sell it, but it is clearly valuable. Is there any way I could just sell simply.do/insurance, simply.do/religion, etc.?

    I'm totally open to your thoughts and ideas, so post them below.

    Thanks!

    Some of these can really be valuable I agree. Your domain I am more sceptic about though. Simply do doesn't really make any common phrases I believe. About.me etc is valuable because it's just simply awesome. I think you will not get this one sold easy as only a domain, but what I do think and recommend is that you create a website for it and then sell it as a package. That would work better I believe. What that website would be about I'm not sure about but I see you have something going there.

    Technically, you can't just sell path within your domain and transfer "that portion" to another person. The entire domain will still own by you. You may try and bring traffic into your site and with the stats, you may try and convince some companies by selling them "redirection packages" that redirects to their site.

    Or setup ftp accounts for those paths and allocate some space and bandwidth for each account. Look for start up businesses and see if they want to have a simple page on there.

    Be creative. Good luck. :)

    Thanks for your ideas. I think I may create a directory website for various services like maids, handymen, plumbers, etc.

    I'd also add that you could rent the space rather than selling the space, as another option.

    I'd also suggest that you could create subdomains, rather than files/pages, so that you'd have insurance.simply.do and religion.simply.do

    You may want to add some content, try to get some rank and traffic and try adsense on there if you don't have any luck selling it immediately

    Good luck

    My organic associations for simply.do are:
    1) DIY/instructables site
    2) fitness site

    On the other hand the domain can be sold and used for whatever unrelated topic. For example thegeneral.com as a most ridiculous domain name for a heavily promoted auto insurance site.
