How is outbound marketing for domains done ? Does that guarantee successful sale ? Should I hire someone from fiverr for selling my domain names ?

What do they ask on the phone? Is it for establishing trust, or just for convincing?

I would rather try to convince them by email that trust is irrelevant, than trying to establish it. They need
to trust the marketplace we use, not us.

I practically agree with you on this. They need to trust the marketplace.

Yes. Of course you have to have a free account and use the add function to put the domains in your portfolio.

ns3.epik.com and ns4.epik.com

Thanks fo the insight. Do you Know how their payment and customer services works? Hope it's not frustrating as some marketplace.

Thanks fo the insight.

They have a lot of payment methods, both for buyer and seller.

Customer service has improved by leaps and bounds now that the man behind the company and his staff are watching and posting here regularly. As to my knowledge, no other company in the registrar business (of any substance) has its primary stock holder posting here.

Thanks so much for your kind help and support. I really appreciate it and lastly I'll want to know if one can use Epik's landing page even if the domain is not registered with them.

Hi,

Yes you can most certainly use our (Epik) parking even if the domains are not registered with Epik. If you have any other questions you can PM me any time or reach out here.
Have a weekend!

In my experience, you may have the perfect name for them and price may be low, but it doesn't matter, they won't respond, if they respond (1 in 100 chance) they won't buy or send another email. But they may buy it after 3 months (but still unlikely). Probably when they first read the email, they won't be in the right mood. Someone here mentioned creating auctions before sending outbound emails. But auctions usually end quickly, and probably without any bids.

If you push someone into doing something, they will push back. So a different strategy needs to be followed, than saying I'm selling this domain, are you buying.. How about saying: Sedo, the leading domain market, is selling this domain, and our algorithm determined that you might be among people who are best canditates to become its new owner (pretend that you are a robot without any intentions).


will a regular gmail ID with signature work for sending emails ?

I have had plenty success sending outbound emails. My open rates were quite good and sold a lot of Geo+kw domains so it can absolutely be done. Use some tools to help you, I use Hunter.io and Email Finder Extension. I have sold the domains usually in the $300 but all the way up to $1500 range. You do need some type of website and all your contact info in the email including a phone number and you have to answer the phone! I never had anyone accuse me of spamming them, so out bound does work, but does take work. My sell through rate was 3-4 sales out of every 10 domains bought so that (1-100) chance certainly didn't apply to me.

Do you mind sharing some of the email finder extensions you used?

Gracia!

I would suggest using a website email address instead of using Gmail or any other. I use info@mywebsite/com. It gives you more credibility to endusers.
My template has:
Name
Website
Address
City and State
Phone Number
Email Address

So how do you find emails. You visit a web site and search for @ character in the source code?

If they have a visible email, does it not work?
........
How often do they respond by email, how often by phone?
What exactly do they ask: why trust you, or something like this?
........
I think 30 emails to make 300 is not great ROI. When I email, I email to one person only. It doesn't work in the short run, but may be working on the long run. It takes time. In my case all ignore.
.........
Ok 30 percent sells, great, but what percent of people really respond to email. In my case all ignore. But when there is a phone, would they reply to email.

I do this job because this is almost anonymous. I don't have to deal with boring people etc.
Maybe I would create a one page site with chat option one day.

My open rates and such have been great as I put the domain name in the title. I also use Yesware to see open rates. If they are interested they usually respond within 24 hours. I'll send out 30-50 emails to make at least $300, good side income for me but this is not for some people as it is tedious work but when you sell 2-3 in a week, it can be quite fun. I have never had any problem with people not opening my email.

You can still do it but in my opinion your response rate wont be as good. I am in individual seller as well so no prob there.

Would this be executed the same way as any other product sale? For example email prospect about the potential value and sell the benefits?

You can try Hunter.io, they have an email tracker that works with Gmail and others.

Outbound marketing can be useful but it requires a lot of time for researching of potential leads, finding the right email addresses or phone numbers(no one wants to reach the secretary only to have his hard work thrown to the mail's trash) and maintaining proper tactic if the potential lead has responded.
So it is time consuming.
I'm usually relying on inbound offers and only rarely do outbound marketing of my domains.
Lately I do more outbound marketing, but it isn't successful(for now).

Thanks for taking the time to respond to all this. I tried the hunter.io for mail tracking, but it's seem only available for gmail. So which do use for your personalize mail tracker. Or is not important.

Thanks again.

I use "Email Trakcer" free version to track if my email is opened or not.
Yesware have option to add gmail and Outlook only so how do we use a domain as an email address and track it ?
Do you send price of domain in first mail ?
