Where you get sales from ???

ddesigns · 01-21-2010, 06:48 PM

Hi,

Just curious to know that where you get max sales from, I mean from Sedo (Or other parking site) or by creating a minisite / blog on desired domain or by contacting end users ???

Pls share your experience as it will be really useful for other...

Thanks in advance...

ddesigns · 01-22-2010, 09:48 AM

Waiting for your inputs..

ssamriga · 01-22-2010, 09:58 AM

contacting endusers would be for me.
you need to have much better domains to get random offers at Sedo than if searching for buyers yourself.

Most of my sales comes from private offers & sedo.

@ Sedo

ddesigns · 01-22-2010, 07:24 PM

Great inputs, even i had some sales from Sedo... but my highest sale till date was by contacting end user via email.. But still i can see that Sedo rocks...

hosterbuddy · 01-22-2010, 07:48 PM

I've had best results from contacting end users. My emails are very short, to the point, convincing, and polite. I also start every email with: "This email is about an opportunity for you to upgrade to a premium domain name. If this email is of an inconvenience to you, we sincerely apologize. Please email us back with the code example and we will no longer send you any offers."

I'm a very picky domain buyer but when I find a domain name that I really like..I'll send out about 100 individual emails to TARGETED prospects.

Good luck.

Thanks for inputs, so usually how much positive reply / "no thanks" kind of a reply u received from the 100 emails u send

bmugford · 01-22-2010, 08:12 PM

I pretty much only sell domains to end users.

I think too much focus is placed on the pitch itself. The most important thing is buying domains end users would want.

Thanks Brad for your inputs..

I agree end user burnout by people offering subpar domains, most times the end users primary domain is better than what most people are offering, hence the rejection factor, quality over quantity!

Well I send ABOUT 100 emails. I search for 10 keywords that my domain is related to and then email the owners of the top 10 website results.

There isn't an established rate, really. Without getting into details, I've probably sent around 2,000 or so emails and I've sold 9 domains. Keep in mind though, that I only buy domains name that I have researched and find a great deal of value in, most cost $200 or more. I only buy domain names that I wouldn't mind holding onto for 3 years. If they don't sell at my margins, I develop more and try again. My methods of selling will not work as well for most domains that you can buy for under $100 or hand register.

Good detail view of your strategy for sale.. I think it will surely help others...

nielsencl · 01-23-2010, 08:15 PM

Most of my sales have been from the buyer seeing the domains parked.

Say, would anyone be interested in pooling resources to contact end users? What I mean is, many of you are doing a lot of work to find buyers, but others may have the same kind of domains, like finance, jobs, health, etc. I thought it might make sense if everyone could sell their own domains, but also the domains of others. You may sell more domains that way. Even if you just get a percentage of a domain owned by someone else, it would be better than nothing. And others can be selling your domains as well.

Spade · 01-23-2010, 08:19 PM

A majority of my sales come from parked page "make an offer" links as well as direct end-user emails. I don't typically approach end-users and offer only a small portion of my domains to other resellers.

Nice idea.. Sounds like domain broking on Small scale is it ??? or we can say its domain barter ???

***SpareDomains*** · 01-23-2010, 08:52 PM

most of my sales have come from my own sales sites and parked page inquiries, only domains I have really ever pushed at forums are domainer domains, get a few sales from sedo here and there and 1 from moniker before they integrated with snapnames, I have gotten certified offers from network solutions and godaddy as well but nothing closed yet from those, I agree that buying end user type domains makes it easier as you don't have to go looking for buyers as offers come in more frequently on their own if the quality is there.

Direct mail from End-user... great. It reduces the main pain of finding buyers...

Thanks spade for your inputs...
