Hey Friends and Pros.

I have stepped in here for the ocean of learning.
I am sort of new at the domaining , 2 months or 3 months old. Have read and studied many hours on it but still feeling as though have touched only tip of iceberg. Is it really tough to sell, as I already have around 50 domains, sold none . so would love to know from others on the expertise to sell. Thanks

The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
I do not see one good domain. Wealthician.com is almost decent, but not quite.

If you had these, they would be good:

Art.co.in (single word in non com)
FlyingCars.com (ss is no good)
SpeakFX.com (Speak FX makes sense)
BlockchainDigital.com (The plural doesn't make sense)
DogPlay.com (the gg is no good)
GamingPC.com


You see the difference? Buyers will actually want to buy them.

When you hand register 3 word+ or 2 word gTLD then you are most likely getting junk.

It is better to save your money and buy 1 really good domain, than waste money and renewals on hard to sell domains. 1 quality domain will be much easier to sell. As an added benefit, quality domains will attract more attention to your portfolio as you acquire more names.

For example, 50 domains x $10 is $500.

On July 4 a few days ago, someone bought Pewz.com (not me) on Godaddy for $565. That is 1 domain at roughly the same price that could easily sell for double or more than what they paid in short time. The domain could sell for $5-20k+ in the long term.

That's just an example. And the domain is only $9/year to keep. To renew 50 domains is $500/year so even if you sell 1 domain for $500 you are only breaking even for the year.

Getting traffic is very easy if you really help people and follow the rules.

Quality aftermarket domains also cost thousands upfront, not everyone can make such purchases at early stages... You're saying your argument in terms of saving money as if buying a $500 domain and renewing for a year somehow saved money.

As a beginner I started off with auctions paid thousands in total for domains I thought were cool but in reality they were bad domains that were inflated in auction, this is still happening today and it probably got worse.

What a beginner needs to know is how to distinguish a good domain not how they purchase it.

Nearly all those domains purchased in auction were dropped as losses while my hand regs get more attention, offers, and sales.

Your words are worth their weight in gold. I understand that hand registering crap domains can be addictive and prove expensive, but if one doesn't understand what makes a domain potentially valuable then they risk spending way more on aftermarket names that would also not sell and then lead to panic. Plus, so many names are sitting in the aftermarket because they didn't sell. Like you mentioned, auctions can sometimes inflate prices too much.

Bottom line is to know how to assess a domain's worth and not get too trigger happy while making purchases. That isn't easy and I guess most of us learn by making those mistakes to different degrees.

Great and I am gradually - avoiding buying - pulling the trigger - can you please elaborate , few pointers - how to assess the worth before buying and if it has great potential. I know most of people like to hide aLL this but I thing there is enough for all to enjoy

Yesterday I renewed a domain name for around $ 10. That site earned $ 30 from ad commission in the past 7 days. Develop and monetise. Don't drop.

with 7 months into domaining and 8 sales (all $xxxx each from drop regs) of 250ish ,
here is my little advise
- stick to .com only until you have better experience
- pay attention to big sales and find out why they sold for that value
- pay attention to big auctions find out why ppl are so interested in it
- start small (drop reg are mostly $10, some go for $59)
- cheap doesn't always means bad and expensive doesn't always means good
- price your domain properly (don't overprice)

oh and domaining isn't quick money
Wish you the best.

When You say drop regs - does it mean - expired/ archived, or bid against the dropping ones? and is it better for more aged and other parameters?

I am far from being an expert, but there are plenty of things you'd learn from reading in this forum.
Start with the latest blog post by @Bob Hawkes . A quick search on Google for Namepros newbies or beginners would get you to a lot of useful posts or, better still, you could just search the forum directly. Good luck!
