Don't give up

Just thought I would post a story that has recently happened to me to give other beginners hope. To cut a long story short, I picked a name up about 8 months ago that I have had zero interest in despite doing outbound & listing it in several places. So really I was thinking 'oh no I've brought...

The China domain name market is fluctuating and dangerous.

caution is always to be advised and blindly buying any names is not good. however, as noted already the trend is your friend so its wise to get in sensibly now and make some sales before the crash

strategy This is how I price my hand-registered domain names

really good post and food for thought. there is a natural tendecy to over-price i think especially for newcomers who may be unsure of the true value and worried about selling for much less then its worth (which applies to me). but as has been noted as long as you're making a good return , its...

strategy This is how I price my hand-registered domain names

for brandable names i would go to a specialist site like brandbucket or namerific as they are your best bet. for all other names you would be looking at doing outbound marketing to end users (i.e businesses who might want to buy it but not other domainers) to make a sale in addition to listing...

domains Dubai and domain names

I would agree its a hard sell over there - I had dubaitailor.com which I thought was quite a good name but zero interest from anyone I contacted over there or on auctions

ha ha yes I guess so. I think it also shows as well that it can just take time to sell a domain sometimes.

Contacting businesses

if you're getting into a company then the higher you can go up, the better but marketing in most businesses would be a good place to start yes. if you're a good talker and confident enough to phone then that would be ideal. if you're not (like me) i would email instead - just keep it simple...

domain Knorl.com

and since you're not very new to this i would find it embarrasing I have to come on here to ask people how much a name might be worth - almost ten years into it and you can't value a name yourself? leave it out. just be honest and admit that you asked for peoples opinions and when mine wasn't...

domain iCureEye.com

i would have to agree with ruben sorry. if you are new to domaining then its worth checking out what makes a domain name valuable and the things to look at before you start buying. do a search on the forums here, theres loads of info about it or even just do a google search in general

domain atlantagroomer.com

i don't like this one sorry - grooming as an internet term is not positive at all so with it relating to that i think it will put ppl off. also grooming isn't an industry as such - if it were hairdresser for example that would make more sense
