## How to Promote Domains

**The Key Question** 

Before you promote a domain, ask yourself: "Do I know someone who needs this domain?" 

This is the most important question in Name.art. The members who earn consistently are not the ones who hold the most tokens — they're the ones who can identify a specific person, organization, or community that would benefit from a domain and make that introduction happen.<br>

1. **Use the Built-In Share Buttons** \
   The fastest way to get started is to use the share buttons built into your Portfolio tab. For every domain you hold a token for, you can post directly to Facebook or X in one click — no copying links, no switching between apps. \
   \
   This is designed to remove friction between deciding to promote and actually doing it. Use it to get the word out quickly, then follow up with more targeted outreach.<br>
2. **Reach Out Directly** \
   A personal message to the right person will always outperform a public post. If you know someone who would genuinely benefit from a domain, reach out directly. \
   \
   Keep the message short and focused on the value to them: \
   \
   • Mention the domain name and why you thought of them specifically \
   • Explain that it's a premium .ART domain currently available through any major registrar \
   • Make it easy to act: share where they can register it (any registrar works — GoDaddy, Namecheap, Get.art, or others)<br>
3. **Post in Relevant Communities** \
   Beyond your personal network, there are online communities where the right buyer might already be. Consider: \
   \
   • LinkedIn groups in the relevant industry or niche \
   • Facebook communities for artists, creative businesses, or the domain's subject matter \
   • Industry forums, newsletters, or online events<br>
4. **Follow Up**&#x20;

   One message or post is rarely enough. If you've reached out to someone who showed interest, follow up. If you've posted on social media, post again after a few days with a different angle. \
   \
   Your token is active for 6 months. You have time to build momentum — but don't leave it all to the last week.<br>
5. **Use Category Browsing to Find Promotable Domains** \
   If you're not sure which domains to back, use the category filter on the Available Names page to browse by industry. Choosing domains in categories where you have genuine connections gives you a much better chance of making a successful match.
