discuss I tag-teamed with another domainer to sell a domain!

Let me tell you a quick story. Although we domainers often compete with each other, I would like to report a very pleasant interaction I had with another of our kind. I had dropped a domain a few years ago. Apparently, someone searching for the domain at Uniregistry found my old for sale page...

poll Better Success with BIN or "Make Offer"? $10 award for best feedback.

My current business model is to price everything. I sell 1-3% of my portfolio per year (~40 out of ~1300 domains) and turn $30k-$50k gross sales into $15k-$20k net profit annually on a part-time basis. I park domains at Uniregistry and also list at Afternic/Godaddy and Sedo. Domains priced...

Another fantastic article Bob! I think you also came up with good article topic “Different domains work better with different landers.“ Would love to see a follow-up piece that discusses how to pick a lander based on the domain name. Keep up the great work!

news Automated Domain Verification Arrives At Afternic

Great article Bob!. If the domain is a GoDaddy regg'd domain, you can go into your Domain Manager window and simply click on Domain Listing Status. Add your price and add/remove GD landing page and click submit. This will override the old owner's existing listing and substitute yours. Note: When...

strategy How to Find Potential End Users?

Here's my tips: * Keep your initial e-mail short and to the point. Do not specify a price. Just ask them to let you know if they are interested in the domain. * Send emails to 20-30 potential end-users. I find that I get 1 response per 10 e-mails. Anything more means you got a hot domain! *...

Afternic New Landing page

Unpopular opinion: I think the new design looks like crap. The logo looks like an 8 yo cut-n-pasted it together. How about a modern lander with a modern design? Not a hard ask.

information Is Domain Name Presentation Important?

Good article Bob! I wrestled with this question over the years. I finally came to the conclusion that all the fancy window dressing doesn't help in most cases. Perhaps with branding domains it can help some. But then I read AbdulBasit's recent sale of AutoFun.com for $50k from a basic Afternic...

Where's the guy who developed DAN.com? If there ever has been a need for another GoDaddy/Afternic alternative, there is one now.
