Hello.

I’m new to domain investing. I’ve worked in marketing for years and have purchased many domains but never with the intention to resell. I currently own a few domain names I feel are very valuable, one of which being electocasiocortez.com

I’d like to sell this quickly and I’d love your feedback. I’ve started with GoDaddy Auctions and I’m putting a lot of energy towards learning the industry. I have a lot to learn but I’m committed. I’d be happy to get your feedback on best ways to move forward, resources, suggestions on selling, and how to sell faster.

Hello!

Suggest you read through the Domain Buying and Selling discussion - might give you some ideas or insights into what names / niches NamePros members have been acquiring and also what names some members have sold.

You can also put a name/s in the Forum's APPRAISAL section to see what opinion responding members have about a name. Not all names get comments or responses, however.

Welcome to NamePros!

Hello @Michael Radut Welcome to Namepros and welcome to domain name investing. I have been in about 2 years and I have had to learn from a lot of mistakes. I suggest putting up an SSL landing page for possible buyers of your domains to purchase immediately via the landing page or make an offer. These are available free at Epik.com.

It's very advantageous to list your names within Afternic.com as the domain becomes listed for sale within the Godaddy search console and becomes distributed through other registrars via the DLS.

Stephen, I really appreciate your feedback. This is great! I'll look into Epik and listing on Afternic.com
I've always wanted to try my hand at this and work to create this into a more serious revenue stream. Any information and feedback will help!

Thanks!

Hi @Michael Radut .. and welcome to NamePros! :)

As @lock pointed out .. be very careful about trademarks .. which most certainly can include people's names in some circumstances. I really don't see how you could make any money from the domain in question. Definitely be careful about putting it up for sale as you could get in trouble. Do a lot of research on trademarks and name domains before doing anything else.

Aside from that .. most of us took the same route as you from having domains we were going to develop, but then started trying to sell some. Your experience in marketing will be a big asset in getting you started! :)

Best of luck to you going forward! :)

Welcome Michael,

electocasiocortez.com is not a really valuable domain name, and only has a certain shelf life.

If you are focusing on auctioning at GoDaddy auction, understand it costs $4.99 set a reserve price. You don't want to start no reserve auctions at high prices, people will just look right past them.

You might want to put some names up for appraisal and get opinions here. Then think about a gameplan. Some names might be best to auction here.

Best of luck.

Hi there! Welcome to NamePros!


As mentioned above electocasiocortez.com may not see high direct traffic to your domain listing. You may need to potentially outbound this name.

Cheers!

Welcome, the domain doesn't seem that valuable but every beginner starts off like this. At least it's a . com!
