1$ .coms.
I buy 100 names.
You pay 1000$.
Platform minimum sales price $1000.
30% commission.
1% sell through rate.
You get $300.
You paid $1000.
Doesn't work.
But maybe you can work with numbers.
And keep bad apples out.
To make it work.
My consultant fee is $10,000 per email.
But here's a free one.
A very good one.
Get back to the original pitch.
Swiss bank registrar, for serious domainers.
Offer cheap .coms.
Select customers.
Force all sales to go through epik.
Raise minimum sales price.
Raise commission.
Monitor all new regs during tasting period (you can limit or advise accounts or get a refund from wherever registrars get domains from)
Tailored, close-up experience, for select & succesful customers.
Collaboration.
Which justifies high commission.
Squadhelp keeps 75% when they register on your behalf. People still do it, but it's BS.
You could have 40.
Forbid transfers for 3 years. Only allowed before when sale occurs (buyer convenience).
At cost renewals.
Minimum sales price.
Select customers.
You could always offer $2.99 .coms.
If you wish to mitigate further.
You can keep your current customers.
And start this as a side program.
Invitation only.
You know who is making numbers, you know who to invite.
@Rob Monster
If customer registers 100 domains. You pay 800$.
Sale occurs, 50% commission of 2000$ minimum sales price is 1000$ revenue.
But 2000$ is a lot, as a minimum, not as a selling price.
Now 2.99$ registration price x 100 registrations is 300$ saved on $800.
You pay $500.
50% commission on $1000 minimum sales price is $500.
You break even.
Thats the standing ground, based on 1% str and $1000 sales price.
40% commission better than 50%. But hey, its collaboration.
1% str, 2% str, 3% str.
$1000 sale price. $5000 sale price. Moonshot sale price.
Select invitations.
Monitor new regs. Limit/advise accounts.
You become some type of financial analyst.
More work.
More thrill.
Do it, and registrars are losing their new reg customers to you.
You want the serious ones.
They apply, with proof of sales.
Or you invite.
The swiss bank of domains.
