Chantelle, welcome to NP

You should have sold that name if you got an offer in that range, you certainly wont get another offer like that.

My advice is to stay away from .online names, 99% of end-users dont even know they exist so they certainly wont be spending a fortune on them. They are more a domainer extension. Focus on .com names or strong cctld's while starting out until you have a few sales under your belt, buy 1 or 2 names (not names that are available) and see if you can sell them, then reinvest that cash into another name. Dont fall for the new domainer mistake of buying 50 or 100 names and seeing if you can sell them all, it wont happen and youll end up with with huge renewal fees in 12 months. Read this forum for a few months before buying anymore names to learn about domain value. Check out namebio.com and dnjournal.com to see what type names sell.

You do realise if you sold one in that range it would be the 3rd highest sale in the history of the extension

Good luck (Go Bokke )

I have actually had 4 offers in the 5 figure range ($20k-$45k) in the last 3 weeks for drivetraffic.online I think I can get more.

appraisal scam?

this thread should be in the appraisal section.......

Top 10 .online sales of all time:

Domain Price | Date | Venue
casino.online 201,250 USD 2017-03-22 Sedo
design.online 57,500 USD 2018-09-24 Sedo
airconditioning.online 19,500 USD 2018-08-05 GoDaddy
king.online 17,250 USD 2018-09-20 Sedo
sportwetten.online 16,318 USD 2016-10-25 Sedo
chefs.online 10,000 USD 2018-10-21 GoDaddy
transparency.online 10,000 USD 2018-09-14 Afternic
findme.online 7,500 USD 2018-03-04 VinsDomains
dmv.online 5,101 USD 2018-10-02 Dynadot
assurance.online 5,000 USD 2018-02-22 Private

You received offers that range from $20k-$45k within 3 months of registering it potentially making it number 3 of all time and you rejected it?

Did you even do any checks on the offers? Where it originated from? Did they mention a certificate? I assume they where via email as your landing page has no way to contact you to make an offer.....

Did you check previous .online sales data? Pretty sure you didn't otherwise you would of realised what kind of offers you where dealing with......

Personally agree with previous comments, IF the offers where/are legitimate you should of got rid.....but you know the saying when something seems to good to be true........

You never believe articles published by a domain registrar pumping a domain extension. Why do you think they do that, they want you to register some .online names with them, thats their business.

The best test is to email some shares, cannabis, real estate, insurance etc companies and ask them the following

1) Have they heard of the .online extension?
2) Are they interested in buying one?

I can almost assure you the answer will be "no"

Focus on extensions that sell, its the best way to make money in this business.

psychedelics.online might have some value but I would slow down if I were you as I see no more than reg fee on rest. As far as drivetraffic.online it wont be a first choice.

My honest opinion is that with .online being one of the major keywords and having seen a few at the top of Google that it is possible to make a nice sale if the words are perfectly matched.
I think there's room for growth in the future and I agree that a handful will be worth holding onto.
For readers, I suggest NOT registering .online but clearly Chantelle has a port of .online domains that actually make sense.
If upvoted or popular/searchable, that indicates people have tried to register the names, it indicates that the names would definitely work for the purpose intended.
The realistic price or the lesser appeal of .online extension is a consideration, but the relevance is the key! If I registered playslots.online for example that would be absolutely perfect where advertisers pay up to $60-70 or so dollars for casino kw.
The phrase is therefore valid and worth buying.
Have a look at keyword planner and see what the maximum keywords cost.

As for the appraisal value, I have no idea. I would be very wary of the offers and do plenty of research. I wouldn't hold. I'd sell not to the highest, but the most legitimate potential buyer. This is good business!
If the maximum advertising for those keywords (way above average CPC) matches the domain/s in question and the site is developed, it should easily reach the top in Google (my opinion).
That's my humble opinion, I'd hold a couple and take what I can get.
I don't find it impractical at all.
But I wouldn't EXPECT or count my chickens!
I wouldn't spend anymore on the project.
And if your domains are getting genuine offers, why not get a broker involved?
When domain privacy isn't active you will get far more spam offers than real ones.
Maybe someone can check your offers for you?!
Realistically, possibly you could expect 4-5 figures. I don't think the name is that amazing (see my example) but it's certainly feasible. GL!

If the offer is authentic, please sell it. There must be one special person interested to acquire it. Others might not pay this kind of amount...

Where's there's 4, there will definitely be more I believe patience is money in this case.

Why do newbies think that they can influence experts into believing outrageous claims? Most don't spent 20k a year on renewals so why on earth would you not want to break the record on a 2 word dot online.

I also took a look at your domain -premiumnamedomain- and it seems that you have all types of extensions ranging from com, guide, group, review, marketing, tours, training, tips, etc, etc, etc.

You shouldn't down another person just because you invest as you say $20k a year on renewals. If you want to talk about 'fillers', then you are doing just that. If you can't say something nice or helpful, then best don't reply.

And thank you to 'gilescoley'. Your advice is solid and very helpful. Thank you for that!

Yes feel free to appraise what you like. I am calling you out on not wanting to be rich because you won't settle on a name worth way more than previous sales.

 

[ChantelleSA]

How did you get those offers? Via brokers or auction?

2 of them actually contacted me directly off my WHOIS info. I think it might have been smart not to activate the WhoisGuard upon registration

That is "find my phone" the minute you add another word like online it dilutes it down to nil. Not a terrible name but estibot is pretty spot on on this one measuring your keywords. No type in value still have to work for your money with it. Since every 3 word combo dot online is still available your logic means their is still millions to be raked in.

I meant results. Not searches. Meaning it is a
very popular phrase.

You were right the first time. SEARCH VOLUME shows you whether the term is popular or not. You should look at the SEARCH VOLUME because that's your target market, the people who are looking for your product (whatever product/service findmyphone.online is selling).

Keyword search volume : 1,830,000/mo

• shows you how popular the keyword set is. It shows you your target market, those who are looking for the keywords: FIND MY PHONE.

RESULTS : 16,670,000,000

• shows you your organic search competition. This is the Search Engine Results Pages (SERP) or organic search engine results of pages competing to rank for the keywords: FIND MY PHONE.

Competition : 0.08

• shows you whether you are competing with long-tail keywords or popular keywords (if there are a lot of PPC bidders for that keyword). This will affect your Pay-per-click cost or Cost-Per-Click (CPC) if you're doing Google Ads/Adwords.

2 are actually from legit marketing companies.

Thanks a mil

Hi ChantelleSA,
You know what, Only YOU and an END USER knows the exact value of a name! To my understanding, any name (keyword) can sale online regardless of it's TB or CPC. About 3 months ago, I was contacted buy GoDaddy(called and emailed) regarding a customer that wanted to buy a .com domain that I barely registered less than a year for $11:99 and I put it on sale for $99,000.

History:
Seriously this thread remind me of the year 1990 when I was first introduced to the "ONLINE" business ( when the WORLDWIDE WEB WAS BORN) I enrolled myself in a computer institute and started taking MS-DOS classes as an introduction to the computer. During that time,,, domain registration were FREEEEEE
. Cybersquatting didn't existed. UNFORTUNATELY, I gave up and ended focusing on something else . Long story short, before I realized, domains values skyrocket, internet developed surpassing the Microsoft- IBM war and here I'm starting over again! Who knows the value each domain extension will have 20 years from now? Only history will tell.

NOW,,, are you willing to buy domains to hold them for over 15 or 20 years spending expensive reg- fees hoping to sale them one day? I don't think that's what you are planning to do. However, I know some of the opinions expressed over here might sounds rude and actually some could be rude ( trust me I'm a newbie at NP) but I recommend you to get the positive message from each answer. I love all the recommendations @gilescoley gave you.

My final advice to you is to reach out to the highest bid( offer) and let them know that you are getting other offers and you're wondering if they are willing to come up with something different than what they previouly offered. If not, I would sale it to the highest offer and re-invest on some .com if you would like to. Remember in .COM NAMES is were the real money is at. ( Please also note it could be the same buyer making different side offers as an @undercover buyer) Anything is possible in the domain industry

Good luck with that sale!

Regards,

Accudomain.

Thanks a million for your feedback! I found it very helpful.

Yes, I think there might be 4 or 5 that I would hold onto for the next 4-5 years as I think the value will increase much more. In the meanwhile I think I'm actually going to create some content-rich websites that will attracted large volumes of search engine traffic. Then when they receive a satisfactory amount of traffic, I'll put them up for sale. Think that's a better strategy. I used to be a magazine designer and currently a web designer, so those skills will come in handy.

Thanks again!

Hi MrAcidic. Thank you for your comment. Yes, I am very aware of scam offers. Have had a couple of those. I prefer to Skype and call (landline) any larger offers so that I don't waste my time and at least 50% of scammers fall out the bus right there. Nobody wants you to potentially record their faces and use it against them ... LOL!

Have also read the following -

How To Spot A Domain Appraisal Scam

• The scammer usually poses as an interested buyer for one of your domains
• The email will state that in order to buy the domain, the buyer would like a manual appraisal process
• They will then recommend some service to get appraisals, and a blog post about the service
• Both the appraisal site and blog are owned by them, this is a scam
• Their goal is to get you to submit an appraisal, once you do they disappear

ChantelleSA - I call BS. What you descibed as "offers" is bs....large marketing companies have markmonitor and CSC reach out - and you haven't mentioned either.

And, things just don't happen as you have described.....you don't get a plethora of offers all at once.

 

[ChantelleSA]

psychedelics.online will also do very well as it is an all-in-one domain name for all psychoactive substances. Then a domain name like findmyphone.online has 18 550 000 000 searches on Google. There must be value there. The reason I specialize in .online domains is that they are global like .com, and it's a smart alternative to a saturated .com market.
