Here is my domaining story - Ask me your questions.

[NetworkPearl]

Hi,

I've been having a great success in domaining ever since I started, already made 6 figs profit this year and had been doing great previously as well.

My domaining journey started about 4 years ago when I was 16-17 years old. I have had a great knack for everything related to technology etc, been playing games and using computers since I was 2 years old. I'm also lucky enough to belong to a well previliged family, studying in one of the best schools and colleges in my country.

Anyways, let's start off with my domaining story. I have been more into flipping ever since I began. The first domain that I sold was HoustonSwimSchool.com, bought for $10, sold for $320. I've sold many many geo domains since then and owing to this, I moved on forward with bigger domains. Domaining.com, DomainSherpa.com, Namepros.com and other domaining related websties were my daily dose of information and they helped me quite alot. I remember waiting eagerly for every DomainSherpa.com interview.

Some of the domains that I sold:

4 and 5 figs sales (sold every domain for profit except for 1 as I recall ):

few sales include(all of them are flips except for 1 or two):

Smaller.com - sold for $11k, bought for $2.5k , quick flip within a month
Gali.com - sold for $25k, bought for very low 4 figs , quick flip within a few days
Grew.com - sold for $11k, brokered it for original owner, quick flip within a few days
Write.com (sold recently) - sold for $190k, rest details private
xOnline.com - sold for $5.5k, bought for $500 , quick flip within a week
Studio55.com - sold for $2k, bought for mid 3 figs , inbound offer
VisualLabs.com sold for $2.5k, bought for mid 3 figs , flipped to reseller
LaptopParts.com sold for around $3k, bought for mid 3 figs , flipped to reseller
ProServices.com- sold for $2.5k, bought for $1700 figs , sold to reseller (flip)
TotalBody.com sold for $4.1k, bought for $3850 , negotiated after GD auction
Soez.com - sold for $2.5k, bought for $1000 , negotiated after GD auction
Proe.com- sold for MID 4 FIGS, bought for LOW 4 FIGS , Namejet auction
Cacc.com - sold for MID 4 FIGS, bought for LOW 4 FIGS , Namejet auction ( same as above)
Focl.com -sold for $900, bought for mid 3 figs , sold to reseller (flip)
AiPod -sold for $1k, bought for $69 , sold through inbound offer.


I have also made profit in geo domains usually sold 3/5 that I bought for low- high 2 figs and sold them for $200-$500.

And guys I DO NOT OWN A PORTFOLIO. I have been more of a flipper but now I'm thinking to build a portfolio since I have enough funds. You can make a living just through flipping domains.

And yes, I would love to answer any questions.

I have not used their service, but they do state 18 is minimum age to use Payoneer Clearly it does not matter now, but just statin for reference of others. Thanks for answer. I simply asked because some others who tried to start in domains in HS encountered issues with some registrars and certain marketplaces.

Oh yes I see, I was actually using my Uncle's payoneer account initially since he has some online businesses and then I did create a payoneer account ( I must have been 18 then).

just wow... that,s the way

 

[PhongSGC]

really great story, may tell me details how you manage to get offers then sell?

 

[artstar]

man do i suck at domaining after reading this!

 

[Keen]

Hi. Was your profit from Write.com six figures alone?
Where did you buy it? From a previous owner or auction?
Thx for sharing...

 

[Sam]

I'm more impressed that you managed to rack up such a high profit for being relatively late to the "game". Reselling and flipping domains to end-users is nothing new, what did you think gave you that "extra" edge over other domainers?

 

[MrUmang]

Congratulations for your sale of Write.com and Thank you for sharing.

Wish You for the Best Future. ​

Thanks, I had initially purchased Workstation.com and the seller asked if I was interested in write.com on which they were running a business before, I bought that too. My timing was perfect and had the funds to purchase it.

How are you coming with domains to purchase? Do you choose a niche and search for any available domains?

 

[iAdam]

Thank you for the reply. I think it was the right move with the right seller.

I have some private strategies. Thanks.

Will share them soon

 

[Tryjake]

Thank you for sharing! Awesome story and encouraging to hear success stories.

 

[BrandCollectors.com]

write com is worth min 1M

 

[Tryjake]

great info
write com is worth min 1M

That’s what I was thinking but I didn’t want to say anything! Gotta love a sale period. I know I would!

 

[NetworkPearl]

great info
write com is worth min 1M

Yes probably, but I was thinking around $500k. Write has other variations such as writing, writer etc.

@NetworkPearl could you please share email template you used to approach seller? . Do you offer buy price on first mail itself?

 

[UmerK]

How do you go about closing private deals and buys considering I believe you're based in Pakistan and we've been recently removed on Escrow.com and do not have the luxury of Paypal either?

 

[NetworkPearl]

@NetworkPearl could you please share email template you used to approach seller? . Do you offer buy price on first mail itself?

Don’t have an email template. I just ask if the domain is for sale and give my number.

Yes but this is a recent change. I have used Sedo escrow for tansactions after the transition but for write.com I used escrow and payment was sent to my other bank which is overseas.

Hi. So did you close the domain purchase talking by phone with the seller?
This is an interesting data.

Hi. So did you close the domain purchase talking by phone with the seller?
This is an interesting data.

I mention the phone number just in case, the email looks a bit more realistic. Every domain that I bought was through email contact. It’s also better to mention their company for instance if I want to purchase the domain xyz.con which is owned by a company called xyz Limited this would be the template I would use:

Hi [name of seller],

This is [name], I’m interested in purchasing the domain name xyz.com which is owned by your company, xyz Limited.

Is the domain for sale?

Regards,
[your name]
[phone number]

Thank you for the template, it's really a perfect one.

Short, serious, and with all the data the owner needs to know.

And your domain strategy is clearly successful!

Thanks for sharing, it's really appreciated.
