Honestly, IMHO that price point and the value don't match.
That stated, you can't get it for free; to learn why, and to pick up other critical points, keep reading.
They claim to provide a proven system for valuing a domain name?
There is no such thing that exists!
A domain name is ONLY worth what a buyer is willing to pay, and not a penny more. Evaluations be CURSED!
I have acquired domains that I waited 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years+ to acquire because I was not willing to pay the valuation price the owners and/or evaluators placed on them.
The owners - tired of holding out, (paying registration fees + dealing with tire kickers + low ballers) let the domains go, and I aquired them for peanuts.
Currently, I have (among others) an 8 character domain name that I have been pursuing since 2012.
The domain name was named after a wildly popular televsion show that has since been cancelled.
The owner was demanding $180k when I first honed in on this domain name.
They remained resolute even after the show was cancelled. I had put together a partnership to purchase and develop the domain.
At that time, our target price was $6k for the domain and another $20K for branding, marketing and advertising.
I've constantly monitored that domain since 2012, and no one is going to pay their evaluation price.
I've been sending straw buyers to contact them with low ball offers to constantly gauge where they are. They have dropped to under $25k, but still above $10k.
My point?
They paid a hefty fee for an evaluation that gave them a strike price of $180k. But NO ONE was going to or is going to pay that price, NOT EVER!
You can use domain name appraisal tools such as Estibot, Freevaluator, etc., but those tools are about as accurate as Mel Kiper's NFL draft picks.
Again, a domain is ONLY worth what a buyer is willing to pay.
You take a risk with every domain name investment.
In terms of the other benefits that DNAcademy offers:
- How-to, Step-by-step Docs to Accomplish Any Goal (You can get this ANYWHERE!)
- Private Discussion Forum (You can get that on BHW)
- VIP Registrar Pricing (Same pricing at NameSilo, Internetbs and if you don't care about privacy, Godady domain club)
- KWFinder - Mangools ($350 annually for premium) This is the 1st reason you can't get this for free
- ZFBot ($50 annually) This is the 2nd reason you can't get this for free
The bottom line?
You would be paying for KWFinder and ZFBot through them; it's a slick set up, but not worth the time or money.
P.S. How bad is ZFBot? Look at this list that they tout as proof pudding that their lists of available domains are HOT/ FRESH:
Code:
https://zfbot.com/sample_lists.php
Look at the dates on those lists. Check a batch of those domains for TODAY's status. You'll quixkly learn that ZFBot cannot be trusted
If you want to learn domain name investing, dig into to Domain Name Forum on BHW.
Then, start tracking domain name sales across all of the sites that post domain names sales. You need to develop a sixth sense of what's moving today and tomorrow.
Hope that helps.
