From a newbie
I have been in the domaining industry for about 8 months now, I do have about 10 domains, and I have decided not to buy anymore until I get to sell at least one of the names, however there as been no hope of getting any of these names sold, outbound looks like the visible option now, I have learnt a lot about outbound however it does appear to me as more of spamming, is there any hope of getting domain names sold without via inbound ?

If you have great names buyers will find you and no need for outbounding:xf.smile:

You only have 10 domains you can’t expect lots of leads from this unless they are good domains lots of investors hold thousands to make a few sales a month so don’t give up if the domains are good you will always get inbound leads

Most of our colleagues say their sale rate is 2-4% a year. And it's for GOOD names.

So for your 10 names, unfortunately your chances to sell one domain in a year are like 1/3. And only if your names are GOOD.

Post the names here if you can, maybe you can get a little guidance.

Hello @Chay Toks. I've been domaining for about as long as you have, and here's what I've learned:

1) Domaining is a slow process. It can months or years to sell a domain.
2) It's very important to buy quality names, and it takes time to learn to distinguish a good domain from a not-so-good one.
3) It's important to differentiate between retail and wholesale trading. Retail sales bring higher prices but take longer.

You might consider listing one or more of your domains here on NamePros to see if they generate any interest.

This depends entirely on the quality of the names. If your names are things like myultimatebeanbagchairs.net, then no, you have no chance of selling them, whether it's inbound or outbound.

Getting inbound or outbound offers from end users isn't dependent on some fairy-tale strategy or tactics. It depends on only one thing, whether somebody out there in the world wants to buy your domain name.

Having better quality domains obviously increases the likelihood that somebody will want to buy your domain, but it isn't always a guarantee.

There are no guarantees in domaining. What anyone should try to do is to reduce risk of loss as greatly as possible. Strive to buy domain names either very cheap where you don't mind losing the money ($1 promotions, hand registrations) OR buy good quality names on the aftermarket where you feel confident enough you can get some or nearly all of your investment back should you need to liquidate quickly to another investor.

Here's an example of what I mean. When you see request threads on this forum for Brandpa published names, most of the OP's are instinctively providing a budget range that helps them to greatly reduce risk. That is why they are requesting domains that have a published BIN of 4 figures for $10-35 per name.

Thanks for the responds, getting back to domaining after few months out due to what seems to be a lack of progress and frustration, a lot of my names had expired and i have no intentions of getting them renewed, here are some of the names i have left,
imress.com
kushplaza.com
popceilingdesigns.com
rizy.net
xiroy.com (listed on brandbucket)

do they look like names that could sell without outbound ?

Great names will do outbound for itself. But sales is not everyday thing in domain investment.

Don't be in a hurry to invest money you may need in a short period of time.

From what I see, kushplaza.com is your best and has a decent chance to sell. List it on PotNames.com and the other aftermarket platforms.

This is a "GameOfPatience".The more you have it, the more you can earn. Just like any other business, it takes its own time. Got my first sale of 1.5K after one year of launch with less than 30 names. (Mostly handreg then). No outbound.

As experienced domainers mentioned, it all depends on the quality of your product & the time you allot. You need to do a lot of homework at least in the initial days which I'm still doing.


Yes, Kush Plaza looks good. Hold it.

@Chay Toks Kushplaza and Xiroy would be good ones of those names.

All the best continue your journey no matter what.Domaining is a game of quality and patience.

Give your best each day.

Cheers

I like the weed one and the ceiling one, keep in mind that cannabis hasn't been legalized federally yet so it's a risk to assume that happens.

A game of quality vs price... if u want sell low quality name for high price, it almost impossible...unless u find people like me who make lots of mistake....btw, u can find us at a thread call regret purchase...😓

agree with others, hold kush, drop all the rest, use saved $ to renew kush...u have great chance to get them back plus a good profit...

You need 100 decent/good/great names mix to have 1 expected sale (let's say 50% chance of 1 sale, 25% of no sales, 25% of 1+ sales).

Which doesn't mean I am advising to go and buy 100+ names. There is a learning curve involved and if you get it wrong, then it is just complete waste of money and liability.

If you have good (decent names, usually handregs) domain porftolio, many people say the sell through rate per any given year is 1%., if you do not do outbound.

That means that when you have for example 100 domain names, you will sell 1 name per year.

Which means that when you have 10 domain names, as in your case, it in average takes 10 years to sell 1 of them.

So either you will wait 10 years passively with your 10 domain names to get the 1 sale, or you will do outbound ... unless you do not have names of exceptional quality, in which case anything I wrote above is not valid, and you can get few offers per week for such names (example of exceptional name : hotel.com) :)

If the domain is a short premium name, then outbound links wont matter. Take time to sell it, the right buyer will be wanting to buy it.
