    question I have a website - should I display my domains for sale on it?

    Hi there - I have a website which my son and I started during lock down. Is it worth having your own website to display your domains for sale? I assume without traffic its a waste of time. Is there a strategy anyone would be kind enough to share to make it worthwhile? KR Robert
