advice Please help with my domains before I QUIT

[SamDam]

I'm newbie in domaining and I reached this after many years of struggling in what they say "making money from internet marketing" which till now I don't believe although I watched a lot of courses and trainings and trainers show proofs of their money made by them, After many years of investing a lot of money and time in general Internet Marketing and domains, I'm out of money.

But let us get back to my new discovery of Domaining industry since 3 months, I read a lot and watched few courses, I bought till now about 30 domains, tried to sell any of them, but no way.

The bad thing that I didn't sell any one of them and NO MONEY at all. I need to sell even one domain, I need to make one sale, I need to make few hundreds to continue in this domaining.

So My question is, what is fastest way to sell a domain with a descent money in return or even a little???
I thought of to offer all my 30 domains here or any where else, hoping may be one domain will interest any of domainers her, should I do this or it's a bad idea?

So, please help with my domains before I QUIT

Thanks for your time, appreciate your supportive inputs.

Thanks for all your advises, Since I started about 3 months, I'm learning too hard, I started with local domains and did send for each local one from 50 to 100 emails trying to sell and monitored opening emails through SideKick by Hubspot but only one response with no sale after I asked him to offer a price,

Here are sample of my domains, sorted by date registering :-
InternetMarketingOfferz.com
Valued.host
PharaohsLife.com
SaveMarriageGuidance.com
ClicksPress.com
WomanRed.top
MyRings.top
MyEarRings.shop

MalikaBeauty.com
MariaHairSalon.com
SamsTreeServices.com
RubyDeveloper.org
SocialMediaMonitor.org

I know most of them are crappy ones but from DonCorleonePizza.com I'm starting to pick specific criteria, I'm using lately ExpiredDomains.net, to search good ones and below are my filters:
Common Tab
1- No Numbers
2- No Hyphens
3- Aged 10 years or more
Additional Tab
4- Only .Com
5- .Net & .Org to registered
Adwords & SEO Tab
6- SV min. 1000
7- CPC min. $1

I'm trying to stick with Godaddy domains as it's cheap to get less than NameJet & SnapNames which are $69 or more.
The point that I wanted to feel some success by selling even one, but this moment didn't come till now, I hope there will be!!

NEVER REGISTER a name if you are barely starting, and Never buy a reseller name because you feel good about it.

Buy reseller and check the comparable data at namebio.com , there you have it.

You encouraged me to ask for help! Not sure that is worth much to you though. Good luck in your endeavors.

Abide by the three-strokes (of a pen)-and-a domain-is-out rule that represents the deviation from an ideal norm of a dictionary word with each applied stroke that reads as follows: a domain can tolerate addition of another key-word to transform it into a phrase; further, it can bend without breaking under the weight of an extra 's' even when it's used to turn a well-worn phrase into grammatical plurality; but imposition of a final modification will send it straight into the BIN of delete-expiration nullification

 

[namelancer]

Wow, you have gotten some really good advice here by some pros...hope you spend some time reading more posts here and in other threads.

Not wishing to rush the events by allusion to the above as a cue to wrap up the discussion prematurely, allow me to take liberty with wise words of Buddha: ''I (read: we, the namepros) have not kept a single teaching hidden in a closed hand. Everything that is useful for you I (read: we, the namepros) have already given. Be your own guiding light''.

 

[poweredbyme]

You need to put all your eggs into the same basket if you have a few eggs (if you are a small investor). It means you need to buy a few expensive domains rather than many cheap domains. Plain logic does not work in business life. Never follow the crowd.

Thanks for your time, appreciate your supportive inputs.

If your domains are same as in your signature (doncorleonepizza.com), than my friend you won't be able to sell your domains easily.
First you got to learn which domain you should buy to flip for some good profit. I also use expireddomains.net, but did never pay attention to cpc or any other derivative, I just select on the basis of keywords.
if you list on flippa or any other platform, than again you got to market your domains in forums like NP and social media and also try to target end users.
Last i would say to share some of your names.

Thanks AuctionBio for your advice, but for example before I register this domain I went to NameBio.com and search for the word pizza at the end and .com of course, the results showed up says that no problem to buy this domain (as I think ) because it will sell like these NameBio sold ones and I did the same with other last few domains, so I find it strange a little bit when I got some advice telling that it's worth nothing and so on, of course I know that all responses from big masters of domaining since many years, and I really find it very valuable but sometimes a piece of information doesn't sink in.

Last i would say to share some of your names.

Did you mean you want to see some of my domain names, if it is like that, so it's shared here

This domain stuff is a very tough game and not for everybody. It takes a ton of reading through these threads. One thing that helped me was reading the completed domain sales. I tried this back in early 2014 and totally sucked at it and never sold a domain.
So, in January I decided to try again. The first thing I wanted to do was learn what domains sold. I went to page 1 of completed domain sales and just started reading. I am now at almost 400 pages of previous sales and I have sold 9 domains that were all reg fee.
I also look at Namebio every day to see sales.
Once you learn what to look for the process does get easier so hang in there and keep reading and learning.

Hello SamDam,

I want to thank you for starting what has turned into an outstanding, insightful, and all around informative thread.
And I want to thank the NP Community.

SamDam, here is the kicker.
I'd be willing to bet that I'm not the only 10+ year member that has learned something new from the advice given by the members in this thread.
We never stop learning. It's the little tricks here and there that make the difference.

Don't quit. Lick your wounds. Put away the credit card for awhile. Continue to read and learn how this business works.
You have been offered a wealth of information from this thread already.
Use it wisely. Take your time. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Another thing, and I'm not trying to embarrass you or anything, but being a non native English speaker makes it harder when it comes to joining words.
There are many non native English speaking members of NamePros can help you with this.
All you have to do is ask. Someone will step up.

Good Luck.

Peace,
Cyberian

 

[SamDam]

and I have sold 9 domains that were all reg fee.

Congrats Scotty, for the 9 sales, if you can share some more info about?
I wish I can sell few reg fee ones just to re-invest in more expensive domains,

I went to page 1 of completed domain sales and just started reading. I am now at almost 400 pages of previous sales

but do you mean this sub forum?

[Lox]

sometimes a piece of information doesn't sink in

Let's say, you are running around and looking for the perfect name.

Identify one task/name and one task/name only.

For example, today I finished reading the entire article about chronic pain. I got an idea!

How about a new, atypical dizzy domain (trade) name for painkiller!

Let's just start digging! (my daily correlate job)

Target Customer:
Pain, Help, Feel, Better, Relax, Stress, Life, Easy, Smile, Family, Friends, Happy, Healthy, Positive, Release and Outcome.

Target Interjections:
Ouch, Argh, Gah, Yeow, Meh, Nuh-uh, Oww ...

Target Subconscious:
Fear, Breath, Sweat, Nervous, Uncertainty, Unconfident, Aggressive, ...

Target Age:
25+

Target Industry:
Hospital, Pharmacy, Doctor, Nurse, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematic …

Target Geo:
World ...

Target Language:
English ...

Target Advertising:
Funny, Trust, Play, Confident, Straight, Relief, Strong, Excite, Affordable, Advanced, Color, Accord and Avoid …

(+ 30 more Targets - 38 in total)

Target key words:

Accept
— Concept
Release
—- Ease
Relief
— Lief

+ Shot
+ Lift
+ Lief
++ Fortify


New pain killer name:

Liefort

(no TM, common last name, pronounceable, available hand reg.)


(This is just meant as an example. Quick, fiction exam.)

Kind regards

No, sorry I meant here. The completed domain sales thread.

[john de laine]

have some rules for buying, a good one might be, only names which are 5 or more years old, if someone had enough faith or had "bites" for a name to keep (renewing) it for a few years then even if they are dropping it now you can feel confident it MAY contain some value

 

[golan]

I watched a lot of courses and trainings and trainers show proofs of their money made by them, After many years of investing a lot of money and time in general Internet Marketing and domains, I'm out of money.

I bet you just want to buy some "Money Button". You spend money on useless fraud courses and don't want to think yourself about how the internet marketing works.

The same with your domains. Your domains are useless. Who on Earth would want to buy any of them? And why??

I'd say, you'd better quit, fix your losses and find a decent job.

 

[ProvenPro]

I think you're starting to figure it out. Make an effort to sell what you have over the next few months and use whatever you recoup to target some new domains. Getting too specific with a domain name limits the number of potential buyers. Once you have a great list of domains in your account, you really need to have some patience. Lots of sales are made to businesses entering the market years after the domain was purchased.

 

[urlurl]

agreed, i selling names that i have owned for 2-7 years - patience is key

 

[Isac]

Before playing game we should know rules of the game.

 

[Brand Herald]

Some good advice offered so far. And I would stick to .COMs if I were in your shoes

 

[imc]

Some of those names you have, you can sell for a profit. That is the idea. Don't wait for grandiose prices and don't wait for anyone to approach you first. You may end up waiting forever. Before you buy a name, figure out (with research) 5-10 end users who are (not could be) your potential buyers. Then, there is 'Talent'. Some people are just bad in domaning. One must figure out early if they have an eye for picking good names. There are so many more variables. This is a complicated business for sure.

 

[Kuffy]

We all seem to have different ideas as to the best way to make money from names. There is some pretty mixed advice here, but these are the point that I would repeat

Only register .coms
Don't register hyphens or numerics.
Don't buy names until you have an appreciation of value. Yes, you can make more by buying names, but you can also lose more.
Look for deleted names that you can pick up for reg fee, and stop when you have 10, don't get any more until you have sold at least 2.
Broaden your search on expired names, and try to find 2 or 3 word key phrases, Put the exact keyphrase into Google, and if you don't get any sponsored links, then pass on this name.

There are more points, and remember that you need to develop a feel for names.

I'll have a look on expired names, and see if I can find an example for you.

 

[Kuffy]

Here are a couple of names that look as if they might have some potential, but there is no advertising on the phrase searches. I passed on them, as I thought they needed a bit of work for a low return.

SportyNames.com
FreeScarves.com

@SamDam

Work on your portfolio make more research, read all the comments, but let me tell you this:

There are few domains make sense on your portfolio, which is a great start!

My personal favorites from your portfolio are;

DallasArthritisDoctor.com
FloridaCosmeticDoctor.com
RubyDeveloper.org

They are not the best, but I say hang on them!

As some of our friends mentioned, You need to be patient and spend time on your investments.

This business is about investing not trading.

Don`t you ever be hopeless.

 

[atinc]

Consider:

1) The higher the price, the harder to sell.

2) Whatever you are doing, you will first need a passion in doing it. Try first building a website based on your interest/hobby on one domain name. Then you will know what to do after, and how to pursue in the road of domain names.

3) Once a domainer, forever a domainer. You breathe domain names. You eat domain names. You drink domain names. You learn but never give up.

4) Do your research first, do not infringe other peoples rights, unless you are authorized or have an agreement in doing so (e.g. affiliate/partnership). Trademark, copyright etc and produce your own content. Make your own graphics, buy website templates and include their marks, or pay extra to have the marks removed etc.

5) You are doing great. Because you have doubts, and you are finding your own light.

Peace.

RESPECT

Your question itself answers it.

There are many "fake it until you make it/self proclaimed gurus" on the internet right now.

Sorry you fell for that kind of thing.

Also very sorry that you have got the domain names that you shown above.

If I was in your place. Then rather then throwing out money to hand register 100 names and dreaming to sell one of it for 1 million dollars..... I would choose other path. Which would be to invest same money into LLLL.coms or something that is liquid. That way you get some returns and if you are destined to sell your domain name for a million or two then even your 4 letter .com can go for a million.

Thanks.

 

[Leopard]

Few insights from my personal experiences

1) Stick only to .com
2) While registering or buying domains ask yourself -
" If it was for me ..Will i use this domain to launch a company / product / service? "
3) Domaining is about good sales techniques too as much as domain name itself. So you need to build sales strategies. Try to stick to a few industries in the beginning.
4) As experts pointed out look at recent and past domain sales from sites like Namebio.com
5) Never Quit, start slow. let this be a side thing rather than main income.
