I've been buying domain names for 7 months now and realize I've bought some bad names, but also believe that I have acquired some very good ones too. I have them for sale at afternic and sedo but as yet have had no sales or enquiries. I know it can take a long time to sell just one but jeez. I've sent loads of outbound emails but had no response. Just don't know what to do next apart from wait .

... I have them for sale at afternic and sedo but as yet have had no sales or enquiries....

You are competing against everyone else doing things the "normal way". Setting out on a truly original path (developing unique sites and finding end users in creative new ways) can be rough, but very rewarding long-term. Also you can do some "normal" while experimenting with original ideas.


....

Oh and enjoy yourself.

Great advice, you need to want to be a great "domain scalper" :)

Are there any experienced domainers on here I can direct message with just one of my domains so you can look at it on afternic and click on the rest of my domains to see what I have. I really want to get in to this game but need to know if I have made any good buys and know that they are the kind I should concentrate on.
Kind regards

Iam new too and made horrible mistakes in domaning (in life too)
ًًWhat I have learned lately domains are sorted in three grades:
-NEED (startups and companies daying to get them)
-WANT ( they want them as possible as they can)
-DESIRE (medium chances to sell)
Now, our (possible) field is DESIRE names we may have chanses !
The other two grades are really difficult to acquire and handle .
In fact we are (me& you, I guess) in scrap yard we've got to be very careful
Finally it is just a newbie opinion.
Wish you good luck

Look I'm going to try and be really honest with you here.

The Mike Mann's of the world (google it) have bought out anything useful in the .com domain industry. The rest of us have picked up the scraps hoping to catch the few dollars the so called kings of the industry have missed.

So when you hand register new domains chances are they have not nor never will be a viable domain. The only real chance you have is to look at TRENDING subjects in the news and on https://trends.google.com/trends/?geo=US

When any new term, item, politician, satire... anything of any substance comes up jump on it and register a domain.

I remember when covfefe the misspelled twitter word from donald trump came up some fast guy snapped up covfefe.com. I actually offered him 5k for it because I had a satire website planned but he did not sell and held out for a bigger payday. Today he lists it on Sedo and 200 bucks is his highest offer. So he should have taken the deal and kept on with new trends.

That is my advice to you. Personally you can go to the poor house trying to hand register random combinations. It may not feel like it at first but renewals crop up very fast.

Anyways.... good luck to you (y)
