Ryan Ewen - AMA (2.Viewing)

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to pop in and say hello.

You may know me from DNWE, Brandable, Flip or Domain Manage.

If you have any questions about domaining in general then feel free to ask away and i will do my best to answer them.

I am based in the UK and have been a full time domainer since 2020.

I have been on the internet for a long time having created over 500 websites and stumbled into domains in early 2010.

DNWE is a private investor marketplace where investors buy and sell all kinds of domains.

Brandable is our premium UK only marketplace and flip is an auction site.

The big vision is to replicate Brandable and Flip (with different designs) into every ccTLD as most ccTLD's are not well served by global marketplaces due to currency conversions, sales tax and general awareness (often ccTLD's rank last on page 2 which is a shame.

Hi Ryan, welcome aboard

Hello Ryan

Thank you for joining, I have been following you on X for a while.

I was surprised when you acquired dnwe and even more so when Brandable launched.

Thanks Frank.

Brandable flew under the radar which was handy that we managed to time it with DNWE acquisition.

Thank you.

With DNWE we are adding some additional features:

1. Greater exposure for ccTLD's
2. Addition of standard auctions - starting at $69 with no reserve and also the ability to make them public facing auctions
3. Dutch Auctions will go to $29 (currently $99)
4. Standard listings will become flea market - starting price $69 or $49 (down from $99)
5. More data feeds - starting with Godaddy Valuations and looking at AHREF & estibot (for traffic / ppc data)
6. Better curation of domain names so that great investor deals get more awareness
7. LTO and down payments enabled
8. Some brand identity/logo work
9. Monthly publishing of sales data - not domain specific but gross sales and TLD breakdown
10. Incentives for bringing more buyers & sellers on platform
11. Ability to upload and sell or auction portfolios

Around 2 weeks until these are live

I'm getting tons of messages from UK members telling me there has been a data breach at Brandable.uk

People are complaining the information is being deleted on Acorn and the public is not being informed.

I did some research and it appears to me that Acorn and Brandable are trying to see the impact and if indeed there has been a breach.

It is too early to speculate and hopefully an official announcement will come soon as the information becomes available.
