Ok, I'm trying to understand exactly how end-users find domains offered for sale by us domainers. Obviously, we all want to find motivated end-users so we can get the most return for our efforts. Thinking back on when I was an "end-user" trying to find a domain name, I went to GoDaddy, did a search, and if the "perfect" .com wasn't available I tried a bunch more searches until I found a .com that I was excited about. If I was really motivated by the name but the .com was not available, I *might* purchase the .net. If the name was an absolutely amazing .com and I had to have it, I would do a "whois" lookup and send an email to the owner.
I realize that not all end-users go through this exact process but I can't figure out how listing a domain for sale at Sedo, Afternic, TDNam, or forums would result in an END-USER sale. I'm perplexed though because I see domains (some of which I think are terrible) being sold at Sedo, etc all the time for premiums (just look at DNJournal). When I was looking for a domain name as an end-user it never even occurred to me to visit these sites.
Maybe there is no "silver bullet" to finding end-users and it just takes viral marketing, patience, and a lot of luck but that's a risky way to run a business. What am I missing?
Maybe sticking with traffic domains is the best bet
Gotta spread the seeds around to get the harvest you are looking for.
For one domain name, you may have to email 50 - 100 potential end users just to get 2 or 3 interested enough people to write back. Even from there you may get no sale.
Check out EndUserSales.com and his posts on here, he seems to be the master of this. He usually is sending out 100s of emails , has dozens of windows open and his persitence is what elevates his success from the rest of the crowd.
As tight-aggressive pointed out. The people who are good at this, send out hundreds of emails, make many phone calls, and really try to sell what they own. Relying on the end user to search the whois info and contact you, isnt the way to go
i regged a name based on keywords that ive research using estibot pro and then reg it and search those same keywords on google and contact at least 10 of them on first page.
