advice A little sales inspiration from lowball to sale
a lot of threads about lowball offers that don't want to spend any money. I was able to turn one into an X,XXX sale today. Inquiry came in with low XXX offer. I responded with my full asking price. They emailed back the usual about not being anywhere close to budget but thanks anyway. I...- Points: 42

Paul Nicks is No longer listed as President of DRI on Godaddy Leadership page.
There are lots of counter-narratives as well. I could not have told you before that post who Paul Nicks even was and I have been domaining for a long time. I don't care about the players, just the products. The OP is probably an insider with an axe to grind against Nicks - don't care. I refuse...- Points: 30

Thanks to Epik
A revenue share for expired domains is a great idea. Would love to see @Dynadot have something like that. Too much baggage and bad blood with Epik to have it make a big difference, but one of the up and comers like Dynadot, Sav, Porkbun or Spaceship could lock down a lot more of the domainer...- Points: 28

discuss Is there a middle class in domaining?
There are many models for domaining. All of them require you to figure out some numbers. What is your STR? What is your acquisition cost? What are your expenses? Forget about using metrics like profit margin per domain. It does not apply to this type of product and would be based on nothing but...- Points: 27

Is your time worth anything?
Don't fall into that "hourly" trap. I deal with this during meetings with some of my sales group (non-domaining business). Most people have been conditioned to think that way. Ask yourself why... Poor people get paid by the hour, wealthy people are paid for their value. Create the value first...- Points: 22

Changing my Registrar of choice to Dynadot (review)
Over the last 20+ years, I tried just about everything under the sun when it comes to registrars, hosting, selling venues, monetization, etc. For a long time, my best option for features, and price for a registrar was GoDaddy (with DDC membership) and selling almost exclusively on Afternic...- Points: 18

A lack of creativity in domain name creation?
People should start very diversified and not try to put too much of their portfolio into one line of thought. There is nothing wrong with trying to create a few brandables, but why not also pick up some keyword domains, some liquid domains, and different extensions, and see what works best for...- Points: 16

The $2.74 Conspiracy?
I've been mostly doing domain sales, but I have played around with minisite development off and on for the last 20 years. It didn't work well many years ago and it has only gotten tougher. The Google algorithm alone will stomp you, but beyond that here are some issues with development: 1. Gone...- Points: 16

discuss My Godaddy DDC (Discount Domain Club) - Renew or Not?
It really comes down to your volume. If you buy a lot of auction names there and/or have a large portfolio, it may be better to renew DDC. You have to do the math of DDC divided by domain count plus DDC registration cost and compare that to the competitor's registration cost. For me it was about...- Points: 15

discuss Here's why .XYZ will fail
I've been around for over 20 years doing this profitably as a sideline. Some people will make money on any extension that comes out. The vast majority won't make anything regardless of the extension. If you like it, register/buy it. If you don’t, then move on. But be aware a lot of us have...- Points: 14

This enduser...
Not worth responding to really. You are not going to change her mind. You could make a comparison to real estate and how all of the prime locations are bought up as well. Should you be able to rent a storefront on Rodeo Drive for the same price as one in a rural town? Are the people that bought...- Points: 14

information Liquidate Domain Names Or Not, That Is The Question
I found that the bargain bin and auctions were just not worth the effort for the return. When I decide I am going to drop some names, I drop the price to $99 on the major marketplaces - if they don't sell, they drop. I learned that I make more money with those $99 sales than I did by trying to...- Points: 13

Epik.com Seizes Domain, Threatens to Transfer
They have to be vague and leave all options open until they see what proof is submitted. If it is as you say, they are probably still waiting for them to actually submit anything at all. You say you think you know who it is. There has to be more to the story? They are making some prima facie...- Points: 13

domains The old “we have a small project but would love your premium .com” Did not work with Rick Schwartz
I agree. Acting like a jerk just to boost your ego is not a professional way of doing business. I can tell pretty quickly if we are just too far apart in our expectations on a deal. I just say that, and move on. Being vulgar and abusive is just pointless and displays poor character.- Points: 12

domain scaleyourincomes.com, thoughts on how much this will appraise?
Already a 3 word domain, adding the plural at the end makes it even worse. I don’t see any value here. If it has some traffic, it may have value for that. Otherwise, I would just let it drop.- Points: 12

discuss Is domaining worth it?
The only calculations that matter are A. What did I spend this year B. What did I net from sales, parking, etc after commissions this year. If B is greater than A, then you made a profit. Now you can divide that profit by the number of hours you put in to see if it is worthwhile to continue...- Points: 12

For some reason, I've been thinking of quitting domaining recently. Yeah - go figure. I'm sharing the thoughts, feel free to share yours.
I’ve gotten in and out of domaining a few times over the last 20+ years. I usually keep my core top names and then just kind of check out for a while. Keep up on renewals, cash a few sales, it’s an easy side hustle. You can always scale back up later. Once you’ve found a profitable model and...- Points: 11

domain s a n p e d r o c a c t u s .com - I paid 13,695 for my dream domain name
As long as both buyer and seller walked away satisfied, you did fine. Remember, this is a group of domainers that always want to buy low and sell high. The experience I've gained doing this definitely keeps me from buying domains that I don't feel I could sell at a profit even in my other...- Points: 11

How do you value your domain portfolio/ net worth?
I don't consider it at all. Domain registrations are a liability (net cost) until sold. Most domains do not have an easy liquid value. If my portfolio was 3 and 4 letter .coms, I could put a value on it, but otherwise it is subjective. If you are just looking to impress someone or yourself...- Points: 11
