We want to make VIP's public! Are you cool with that?
When I started the VIP forum and usergroup on NP I did so in private and asked its members to keep it under wraps. Well, I'd like to change that. I want to give you each a VIP member badge in your postbit. It's similar to the badges I have above my avatar. It is a free designation earned by...- Points: 40

strategy How to Find Potential End Users?
Here's a quick method of finding possible buyers for your domain name, 1. Go to WHOIS.SC and find owners of variations of your domain name. If you own example.com, there's a chance the owners of example123.com, exam-ple.com or example.us might be interested. 2. Go to Google.com and...- Points: 38

Hello, hello, NamePros!
My name is RJ. I am an old member, but I see a lot of new faces, so I figure I should re-introduce myself. I've been a domainer and web developer since 1997. In 2003, I started NamePros and sailed this ship, along with my wife Rachel, until early 2012. Today I live in Las Vegas with my three...- Points: 32

strategy $30K domain sale made possible by LinkedIn followup
I acquired Level7.com from a SnapNames auction on September 21, 2007 for $622. This was a 12.4 year hold with an ROI of 4,289% (annualized ROI 35.59%). There have been approximately 30 inquiries from about 20 interested parties over the time I held it. Inquires have been from a variety of...- Points: 26

discuss Shout Out To NamePros and all who sail in here
Thanks for the post, and the toast. I've tried all the other places--NamePros members are the best. :happy: Snobbery gets directed at NP because traditionally domaining was a good ol' boys, "behind-closed-doors" private club type of industry. NamePros makes domaining accessible to everyone. A...- Points: 26

What would you pay for NamePros.com?
When this forum was born, in 2003, it was on domainviews.com. The namepros.com domain was owned by another domainer (TopNames.com, and if memory serves, and he had backordered it on the drop using SnapNames, back before it was an auction platform.) I acquired namepros.com from him in a barter...- Points: 25

Where to sell domain names?
:hi: First thing you can do is put a notice up to the domain visitors that the name is for sale. There are several domain sales sites that you can list the domain for sale on: http://www.sedo.us (free) or http://www.sedo.co.uk in Europe http://www.afternic.com (costs $4.95 to...- Points: 25

analysis Rick Schwartz gives positive remarks on new domain appraisal tool
Anyone else find it disingenuous for the creator to claim the tool is "utilizing a huge database of resale comps" when it's purely a GPT wrapper with a fancy prompt?- Points: 24

advice Please help with my domains before I QUIT
I think it was wise of you to change your strategy to buying expired .com only. Don't register any more .top, .host, .shop, or .us -- it's money down the drain for all of those. If you wanted to sell domains by contacting possible end users, I think these two are your best bets...- Points: 23

discuss Outbound is tricky. Just wasted 3 hours
>> I just invested 3 hours doing outbound on a couple of .net names. Tip #1: Stop investing in .net. Nobody wants them. Outbound marketing takes time when it's done right. Three hours is nothing. Outbound marketing can become a full-time job. But the entire exercise is pointless if you...- Points: 21

Domain Hangman: Guess the Domain, Win the Domain
First member to post the complete domain name wins the domain. You may try to guess the full domain at anytime. Don't solve the puzzle if you don't want the domain!

What would you pay for NamePros.com?
I don't think that information is made public. Revenue from a forum comes in the form of advertising and membership fees. Expenses include hosting, staff, marketing, and other general business expenditures. The value of a forum goes beyond revenue though. The brand and goodwill, the archive of...- Points: 20

poll Do you become more cynical the longer you are involved with domaining?
Cynicism develops, but like @karmaco said, it is healthy to have some. A new domainer is full of excitement, anticipation, and blind optimism -- captivated with dreams of quick and easy profits. Portfolio quality is low, because they buy or register name any domain that sounds "good enough."...- Points: 19

debate I'm skeptical... Are you?!?
Disclaimer- I don't know anything about Michael Mann or his business. I just wanted to comment that it's not uncommon for end user buyers to leave auxiliary domains unused indefinitely. When I look at names I've sold, there's a significant portion that still point nowhere or occasionally have...- Points: 19
