I have to say, I'm also impressed by your 5-minute logo designs. Do you have like, mad graphic design skills, or is there a "5-minute logo design" tool that I don't know about?

Hey sorry for the late reply, yeah I just use one of the quick logo makers that is online there are loads of them and some give you a free low res version for demo purpose, I then use a couple of handy tools to quickly resize and make them transparent png's if that is what I need to do. It really does take only 5 minutes. I will post full guide when I get a chance. In the mean time the next 2/3 people that PM me their website name I will make the logo for them when I get "5 min" to spare You wont be able to sell the logo as part of your domain however as the quick logo making sites do not allow that unless you pay but if they really want it I am sure the few extra dollars wont bother them or they can just design their own similar one.

I also have another tool that makes things more efficient I just added it to my site so you all can use it too, maybe you have one already but I had to look for it and did not know it existed. Basically it makes it easy for you to post tables in your Direct messages.

I found at first when I was offering sites for sale it got messy with this tool you basically copy your table directly from excel or whatever spreadsheet tool you use into the tool on my site and then copy the outputted BB code and post it in your message see example below and link to the tool here https://www.thewebbrokers.com/cus/1/easy-table-coder-/

Test sandbox for namepros is here so you can practice

I will post more info on the 5 minute logo's when I get more time

Wow, much information! Have to take some time and try things out going forward. Really cool man! Appreciate it!

I am also just dive in domaining.i sold my first domain name for $666 via offline auction.your tips will be helpful for me in further investing.

Nice Coinslot sale at DomainLore, seems like the .UK market is heating up

Congratulations! Sounds like you’re off to a great start!

Nice work. Just wondering which auctions you used on sedo? 39 EUR/month homepage showcase auctions or 9 EUR/ month category showcase or free "make offer" auction? Also how much offer views/sales did that give you? Thanks for the insight.

I'm also a new domainer with a similar strategy and planning to pay for some sedo auctions as the homepage auction claims "Reach more than 10,000 potential buyers every day".

Wow! 7 sales in your first month, I'd say that's impressive. I just found out about domain flipping since I got this marketing job and hopefully, I can also get some sales done. Any tips for a total newbie like me? probably where best to post or buy/sell domains?

Since Domainking did 33 hand reg sales in 10 years from portfolio your off to a good start just need much shorter and ask for a lot more.

I have tried both!

Got alot of views (in the thousands) but no bids. However, they where within my first week so the names where probably not good enough.

I would easily recommend showcase instead of Auction. Auction is on a short time and feels more "desperate". Showcase gives enough exposure.

But my advice is to wait for "THE" name before you put it up.

Best Regards

Yeah, that is true. Im working on it! Thanks!

Hello again.

Thought I share how my second and a half month have been going in domaining. If anyone cares and if there are people out there navigating through the jungle in the same way, here goes nothing.

• Havent bought anymore LLLL but started picking up names on Dropcatch. Flipped one name in three hours from a $24 dollar catch to a $100 dollar sale.
• Got 4ir.org on an expired domain. I value that one the highest. If you havent read up on 4ir I understand you think its worthless.
• Been on a .cx domain spending spree registering 18 domains.
• Sold Herbs.cx to Herbs.com for $300 getting the renewals fixed for my .cx.
• Being made fun of on Morgan Lintons blog

https://morganlinton.com/this-guy-is-hand-registering-a-bunch-of-cx-domains/

Having people continue hating on me in the follow up ”Im sorry” post the day after.

https://morganlinton.com/did-i-go-too-far-in-my-blog-post-yesterday-i-think-i-might-have/

• Sold 18 domains in total.

• Own 212 domains.

• Regged alot of shit drunk.

• Regged even more shit sober.

• Got AIVR.io approved on Squadhelp for $7499. After my first submission JoyRod.com was neglected.

• Been having tons of fun on Daryl Lopes telegram chat (pm for link).

Thats about it. Thanks to all you people in especially this site and in the group for showing me the ropes.

Have a good one.

That is a nice price for an .io on their platform I think, congratulations.

Dosebuy said:

Got 4ir.org on an expired domain.

Click to expand...

Wow, even as mixed mode surprised someone let that short .org drop. As well as 4th Industrial Revolution (would be great for a reference site) it also works well with some kind of infrared thermal imaging service or sales as IR is that abbreviation and while 4 not popular in China it is widely used abbreviation in western cultures.

Want to share some of your expertise re .cx Christmas Island. I mean as a thinly registered TLD see that you can get some great words, which you have, as hand reg. Do you see more than that? Like is there an abbreviation meaning, in the way that gg is global gaming, io is input output, ai is artificial intelligence, etc. that I am missing? I see that renewal is not too bad at NameSilo and NameCheap, especially for a low registration number country.

Thanks for taking us along on your domain journey!

Bob

Ty for sharing.

Thanks Bob for your kind words.

Actually, and the fact most domainers are missing. Is that CX is a trending keyword in most business both 2018-2019 (PM if you want links). Because its short for Customer Experience and now that is where the money is at. Also .cx has gotten attention in the crypto-crowd with gambling and exchange sites popping up. I believe in a year from now people will be amazed they didnt see it because it was to obvious. Like Summit.cx is San Frans biggest Customer Experience summit. And I have LEAN.cx and a friend on the group have Conference.cx for example. They will sell for mid xxx to xxxx with the interest they are gathering.

I dont want to be know as ”the .cx guy” but there is a hole in the market people are neglecting and making fun of obviously.


You are the man Bob. Thanks for your interesting reflections and questions.

Wow now that I see it as customer experience those are awesome names. I particularly like lean. Thank you so much for your explanation, so I have now learned something new today!

Thanks again for the explanation.

Bob

PS Actually it is the second thing I learned in domaining today. Somehow I never learned of this link to quickly find at a glance how many TLDs for any word: https://dotdb.com but learned it in a request thread from @YourBestTrader

And I learned from @Bob Hawkes about the search tool dofo.com

We should start a thread where everyone shares a full list of all their favorite domaining tools, websites, and resources.

EDIT: I just started a thread like that HERE

Wow that’s crazy. How long did it take you to sell herbs.cx? And I’m guessing it was outbound?

myfavorite said:

Such sales in a month of starting, building a website suggests you may have acquired some info before starting. Whichever way, nice one.

Hello, no it was actually Inbound on SEDO. My only inbound so far there .

CX and IO are both interesting plays. I've never done SEO on either do they still crawl decently or is the goal finding names compelling enough to appeal to a corporate third party regardless of any SEO limitations?

Update:

3.5 months into the game.

Bullet points:


• Sold for $3500

• Renewals is $2600 come July .

• LinkedIn is the biggest venue for me.

• Highest sale is $1200

• Most expensive domain: RainbowHemp.com $399

• cheapest sale: CryptoTra///de $30
