This is a YouTube video titled "THE ORIGINS OF ADSPEND.COM // BRIAN MONCADA" containing an English monologue or narrative by Brian Moncada recorded in early 2024. Brian discusses his experience purchasing a domain during the COVID period, negotiating the price, and transitioning from a solopreneur lifestyle business to building a legitimate business.
I had like a few VAs in the past and at least four or five clients. So, like, yeah, I was already doing it, but I. I finally bought the domain, obviously. You bought the domain that early? 2020. I only dropped 5k. What I originally wanted, 25. But then a year later, I renegotiated during COVID again because I knew I wanted the domain. And then they're like, we'll do a 15. I was like, okay, they're gonna negotiate. Yeah. And then eventually I just. We just. It was a 30 thread email. Yeah. And they sent me a checkout link and they're like, this expires in 24 hours at 5k or 24 hours. And I was like, bought it. And even at that point, 5k for me, for a domain. So I had to think about a little bit more. But then I bought it. Yeah. And then. So what Nick's saying is, basically that's when I made the transition to go from solopreneur, like, lifestyle business. Okay. Let's actually build a legitimate business.
