Did you worry about entering domaining lately or blamed early investors who entered in 1990's or 2000's?
Did you blame marketplaces? Opportunities are everywhere and you need to identify and grab it asap. Read my story here!
I've completed $100k USD+ domain sales in last 10 months and most of them were quick flips and nice ROI. I have now a start-up company(I can work from anywhere and flexi-timings) and providing an employment to two other resources.
I have started domaining in 2014 and I've seen losses in the first one year. I've hand-registered a bunch of domains and trying to sell but no luck (lost around $500 USD). I didn't have an investment to purchase quality domains so focused on dropped domains / Godaddy closeouts. I used to do a full-time job as a software engineer where I need to work more than 10 hours a day + 2 hours for traveling to the office. I spent daily 2 to 3 hours to learn domaining and acquiring domains on initial days. Then slowly started selling domains for low xxxx to mid xxxx. I was in profit by the end of 2015 then started to build a nice portfolio and I have good selling rate in 2016 and 2017!
I spent at least one hour daily to read domaining news feed and analyzing domain sales and marketplaces. I did the same for the last 4 years!
I have changed my strategy in mid-2017 since I have enough budget and started purchasing expired domains
Purchased Renew.al on namepros for $40 USD then sold it for $305 USD and purchased Confirm.co for $284 USD and sold it for $1051 USD within 45 days... It goes on. Below were few sales (quick flips)
I have listed a few sales only and sold many domains. I have sold InstantBitcoins.com for $3850 USD when crypto hits an all-time high. You need to take the right decisions and move on. I have purchased many domains on Namepros and sold it for nice ROI. I have sold Shooting.net for $6000 USD and acquired it on Namepros for $800 USD last month. I was negotiating with the seller for almost three months to get him to agree $800 USD!
Many people blamed Flippa for shill bidding and other things. I didn't have a good network before but I see an opportunity there and I built my network and sold the domains. I have listed "Call To Action" domains on Flippa and outbound to end users (my most of the Flippa sales went to end users like vrio, dispatchsoftware.com, vapingsupplies.com, riversiderealty.com, redbrain.com...)
Am I doing quick flips? The answer is no, I'm building a nice portfolio like Singl.es (rejected $10k offer), Confirmation.org (Rejected $2k offer), PrimeXchange.com, TechnoGate.com, AbApartments.com, VSSD.com, EliteBenefits.com, HeritageAdvisors.com, VgNL.com, TechM.com, ....
I have resigned to my daytime job four months ago and I'm now full-time domainer and doing with good with domains!
I didn't depend on domain sales completely and started developing websites. I have solid sales for last 10 months (invested 10% of domain sales profits on Crypto and another 15% on Stock market and mutual funds),.. spent 40% of domain sales on re-investing on domains.
Domain investing is changing from time to time and need to adapt to it. I'm doing a lot of experiments with domains and still learning new things!
Most of the domains are hosted with efty.com and sold several domains privately. @Doron Vermaat Thank you for such a wonderful platform!
I have used Uniregistry brokerage service as well and they sold 2 domains in last 7 months. @Domain Shane - Thank you for your suggestion to use it.
I love to read DSAD's daily list and Shane's intro(it motivated me many times) and had success with it. I purchased Leaking.com, HeatingSupplies.com and few other domains after seeing it on DSAD's daily list and sold Leaking.com for $7,827 USD with 43 days!
I'm a big fan of Shane and he is my Guru! Thank you, Shane, for your help and suggestions!
I have experimented with Fasthosts promo and sold two domains ($1100 USD profit). And listed 10% of my domains on Undeveloped recently and sold 1 domain so far.
It's now time to mention thanks to industry pros (@James Iles, @Ali, @Acroplex, @equity78, @AbdulBasit.com, @Michael, @Michael Cyger, Francois Carrillo (@DomainingCom), ...)who helped me to gain good knowledge.
I love to read DomainInvesting.com, TheDomains.com, DomainNameWire.com, DotWeekly.com, Namebio.com's sales, DomainGang.com, OnlineDomain.com, Dnjournal.com and few other blogs.
Thank you @Eric Lyon and namepros.com team for providing free resources to learn domaining.
Thank you, everyone, who helped me to improve my domaining skills.
I believe, domaining is a systematic investment and changes from time to time. You need to adapt it and it requires a lot of patience. Opportunites are everywhere and you need to have some liquidity purchase the new domains( Don't burn all your cash on a single domain). If you want to be an overnight millionaire or billionaire then domaining may not suit for you!
I hope my store motivates you and as always you're welcome to share your stories!
