Pieter Levels tweeted about a guy who buys random domain names and then tries to turn them into businesses.
For example:
- BirthdayParties.com – directory of birthday party venues and entertainment
- RanchWork.com – ranching job board
- VidaliaOnions.com – D2C onions
The guy’s name is Peter Askew and he wrote about the onion business here 🧅
Highlights:
- He paid $2,200 for the domain in 2014.
- “I had no idea what to do with it. Ready, fire, aim.”
- He eventually found an onion farmer to partner with.
- The farmer provided the onions, and Peter did everything else.
- Estimated 50 orders for the first season, ended up with 600+
Apparently the business is still going strong =💪
