advice Domaining does get better with time.

Every single day I get lists sent to me by new domainers wanting to sell their domains. Sometimes I wonder what people were thinking when they came up with these lists of questionable domains and it got me wondering. So I went back through a bunch of old lists of when I first started about 3...

Bidding on your own names at NameJet...?

All this BS tells me is names that I ended up buying at Namejet for x,xxx I could have bought for xxx. What a crock of shit this is. Nobody should be allowed to bid up their own names or shill bid for their pals. Period. The bullshit in this industry never ceases to amaze me.

$500 offer for hand reg yesterday

By only bumping up the price $200 you showed your cards. He knows by you doing this that you are only trying to get some extra money out of him. Sometimes they stick to their guns and only offer the $500 a second time. If they offer $500 again then they know all you can do is say no again and...

tips Forward your domain to the potential buyers website.

Simple Tip: Some potential buyers and especially smaller business owners don't realize that they can have multiple domains all pointed to their website. Mention in your email that the name is pointed toward their website and it may help seal the deal. It has helped for me many times. If I...

How to price brandable domains

The best example to use for this discussion would be BrandBucket because they have the most names listed (almost 10,000) and have had daily sales for the past 6 or 7 years. The reason it's good to break down their pricing structure is because it is a proven business model and to analyze that...

advice Please help with my domains before I QUIT

You should be able to do outbound and get at least 300-500 apiece for these two DallasArthritisDoctor.com FloridaCosmeticDoctor.com I would stay away from random gTLDs until you make some .com sales. Stick with geo's that you know have at least a page or two of buyers and then move on to...

sales How I made $8k+ selling brandables... (and how much it cost me !)

It just goes to show you that the real money is owning the marketplace and not concerning yourself with carrying costs on hundreds if not thousands of names. All that traffic that your names provided also helped sell the "house" names at 0% commission out of their pocket. Just like with a...

.com Mike Mann sells WeAreParents.com

The way a name is marketed is what helps sell the name. When a potential buyer types in a name and lands at DomainMarket.com the buyer automatically knows that a real business owns this domain and is in business to sell this domain. The professionalism of his marketplace is probably the...

sales Mike Mann Turns $60 into $22,500 Sale with IndustrialHeat.com

There is no strategy to this. It's a very simple process, you ask a lot and hope someone bites. That's it, no strategy. IndustrialHeat.com was listed at $45,000 and the buyer thinks he got a bargain at $22,500. Mann, Berkens, Schilling, etc…..all have the same strategy which is you price...

question Advice on first domain name sale

Don't listen to any of this bad advice. 2 minutes worth of research shows that Naked Hub just got 33 million dollars in funding 27 days ago. They have money to burn so hold out for a much bigger offer. Companies that get a big round of funding like this get itchy fingers to start spending it...

Is Adam Dicker a criminal? You decide.

I read this twice so I could really feel what it was like being in your shoes and the sacrifices you made for your family hoping this guy would step up and do the right thing. I am so pissed off that you got fucked over. Dirtbags ALWAYS get what they deserve in the end.

You bank 150k and people say you left money on the table. How the hell does anyone know if you left money on the table without knowing the actual name. This industry is hilarious sometimes.

RAMPED.com

How in the world do they expect domainers to list domains on their site when they are charging $5 per domain to list them. Get some traction first before you start charging people. This is exactly why businesses fail before they even begin. Smart thing to do is give your services away for a...
