opinion Why I registered 20,000 .xyz domain names.
I thought I was smart, it was like an aha moment, like when that guy bought 12,150 cups of chocolate pudding and earned 1.25 Million Air Miles. This was back in June 2016 and .xyz domain name extension was having a sale at Uniregistry and every .xyz domain name that was available to register...- Points: 114

advice Learn negotiation skills from watching movies
One of my favorite movies is Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. By watching this movie, I have developed a superior skill set for negotiations, based around illusion and a bluff, in a way that is not harmful to either party.

discuss When doing outbound, here are some things to follow...
Hi Arpit131, I like your points. I am sure they worked on the situations that you had Infront of you. 1. From my experience, days of the week do not matter. If a person (potential buyer) is interested in an opportunity to secure a domain name they have the slightest interest in, they will...- Points: 27

That is something that I learned from this. The day you register or buy a domain name and want to sell and or develop it, the best day to start marketing or reselling it, is today, not 6 or 9 months down the line, then you get desperate and renewals are creeping around the corner.- Points: 11

discuss When doing outbound, here are some things to follow...
Hi Jstenn13, Great question. I find IT managers understand the value of domain names, sometimes more than CEO's because that is their line of work - they were once web designers or administrators etc. Then the IT manager becomes your friend and champion (trojan horse) inside the company to...- Points: 11

Help! I’ve Lost My Domain Name! [Tip]
I often read stories, forums, social media posts, tweets and customer support threads/tickets of domain registrars of people who have lost their domain name or domain names, maybe that is just me, as I eat, sleep, breathe and even dream in domain names and see these things more than you would. I...- Points: 5

I have heard and read of nightmare type domain name stories of one guy that registered thousands of one word .com domain names and did not want to pay the invoice for renewals back in the late 90's. Bet he is kicking himself now!- Points: 5

discuss When doing outbound, here are some things to follow...
Yes, this worked for me. I brokered a .co.za name (South African cctd) I picked up on a drop and sold it for $3,000 USD. That was my first sale and how I got hooked into the domain industry. Perhaps even contacting the Legal Council of a large company would work too. Make sure you are free and...- Points: 5

discuss What matters to you?
A lot of buyers do not change name servers, perhaps they do not know how and just buy the domain names as placeholders for future projects. Some even let names they buy for thousands and tens of thousands of dollars expire, either because they forgot about the domain name, were not educated that...- Points: 4

domain close
Well, I disagree, my appraisal is accurate, I have been brokering names for 6 years and brokered millions of dollars of domain names, since 2012. Just because my Namepros account is new, does not mean I am a noob. For all I know, you could be undervaluing this domain name so you can buy it on...- Points: 4

What I mean by this is if you lower the price of a domain name it does not increase the value. In order to increase value, you either need to show the buyer the value or position it in a way that is more valuable to them. See this video maybe it explains it better than I can: Price vs. Value- Points: 3

domain whop.co
Howsit. I like whop.co. I brokered fans.co for $9,999 USD. (I feel the sweet spot for one word .co domain names is between $9,999 - $15,000 USD). Here are some four-letter .co reported domain name sales: flix.co $13,750 USD 2010-10-06 .CO Landrush Auctions docs.co $13,000 USD 2010-10-13...- Points: 3
