Heyo!
Happy Wednesday.
Hope it’s going well for you! The roofers are still here and I’m still doing ten thousand things too many, but it’s all a ton of fun.
The first episode of the JUICEBOX podcast I do with Travis Jamison seems to be well received. We’ll be recording ep 2 soon, will definitely post about it on Twitter, so follow me there if you aren’t.
The Kickstarter for The Deadlands is rumbling along, +50% funded.
I continue to write at DNgeek.com (and send a weekly email with the best domains).
And finally, I just pushed the newly designed and optimized version of my cannabis B2B play live.
Phew.
Today the list is definitely on the lighter side. Sorry, I don’t control how shitty a lot of the names expiring are. But to make it up to you, I did a big tutorial/case study thing at the end of this email that should keep you reeeeal fucking busy which, sorry, is only for paying subscribers. Want to sign up? It’s just $23/mo:
Here’s what you can look forward to in this week’s issue:
🧃 Domains With Authority - A Preview - upcoming expiring auctions of domains with authority that you could build a new site on or 301 to one of your money sites.
🚧 Domains To Build A Brand On - Paid Only - strong domains that’d make an amazing brand (some of the domains with authority are shitty brands that you probably don’t want to build a long-term site on. Redirect to one of these for best brand results.
💰 What’d They Sell For? Paid Only - looking at the names from two-weeks-ago’s newsletter to see what they sold for, to give you a taste of what to expect from the “domains with juice” market.
🔥 A Barn Burner of a Tutorial/Case Study - Paid subscirbers only - How I’m using expired domains and sponsored posts to make 4 figures per month+.
Domains With Authority
Make sure to do your due diligence before buying, as I did a good enough job to make sure there was some value here, but didn’t look at trademarks and etc.
At JuiceMarket
(links work only if you’re logged in to Juice Market FYI)
UsingMiles.com - $24,325
DR 33 | 338 RD, Links from: New York Times, Business Insider, BBC, INC, Entrepreneur, American Express, Lifehacker, Popsugar, StarTribune, etc.
BIG links. Big authority in a niche that doesn’t really see a lot of inventory. Yes, this one is expensive, but if you’re playing in the credit card/airplane miles space, you’re not doing it on a tight budget, probably.
The best play here is probably building out a resource for how to earn and spend miles you earn from credit cards…
Go after that credit card affiliate money, you absolute lunatic.
This would also be a fairly 🔥🔥🔥 brand for a travel site as well. Short, punchy, memorable.
At Auction
OxfordAncestors.com - ends 4/18
DR 42 | 847 RD, Links from: Wikipedias, NYTimes, TheGuardian, BBC, CNN, Stanford, Wired, NatGeo, BiomedCentral
Well, shit. This is a sexy domain-with-backlinks
DR 42 and lots of links from big media, science, medical, and educational authorities. $2.3k with four days left.
Could be an amazing build out. Not sure about the Oxford-trademark-situation-of-it-all, but damn. Used to be a “find your ancestors” type of site, I think? Could be a nice “find your ancestors via this dna test, click my affiliate link” kind of site in the future. Either that, or just flip it to your current science/medical/education site for that sweet sweet authority and relevancy.
How to Use Expired Domains with Premium Sponsored Posts to Rank for Literally Anything
This was going to be a video but, spoiler alert, I fucking hate recording videos. I’m a text guy… I don’t watch videos, I’m shit at recording them, and I don’t want to inflict that kind of unhappiness on myself OR on you, my beloved subscribers.
So, you’re getting text!
And that super rad Expired Domains course I’m working on?
TEXT BASED.
If you super want video maybe I’ll just screen record the page where the text lives and sloooooowly scroll down so you can read, but on video! That’s an upsell, tho…
Okay, back to this topic.
So, a few weeks ago I sent out an explanation of how I would use an expired domain to juice a sponsored post to rank for anything. It was, I guess, not as completely contained and understandable as I thought, so I’m back with a slightly more in-depth explanation and SCREENSHOTS.

Until next week,
