I would like to add one. I don't think it is a big group, but I think this would be a good group to join as a (brandable) newbie.

The piggybank domainer
I did not recognize myself completely in your categories (I do have overlap with a few of them of course), so this is the category how I would describe my BB Strategy.
By studying what gets accepted by BB and what sells, BB can be used as a (possibly very lucrative) piggybank. By quick flipping BB Rejects, some of the BB accepted names and/or BB accepted bulk deals, the domainer is building a BB portfolio of published names with minimal initial investment. The risk is low an the aftermarket provides a way out at any time this is desired. The portfolio is seen as a speculative piggybank. Due to the low initial investment, any sale would be a great success. After a given time period (I would say around renewals), the domainer can decide to either continue this strategy (and maybe sell a few names to cover renewals) or pull out, sell the names on the aftermarket and use the funds to invest in other names.


To me, this is a great concept. I now have 42 names published and 5 pending. Let's say I will get to 50 names very fast. That would mean my portfolio should be able to sell for around $1000 relatively quickly (not in bulk, so it might take 30 days or so). If I would not have published all these names, I wouldn't have had that $1000, since I would have spent the money on multiple closeouts, regs, aftermarket domains etc. I just don't have the patience to keep the money in my paypal account . Right now, if I pull out, I would be able to buy a few 4Ls, buy 1 really good name or a couple of names over $100, where I now very rarely spend more than $100 on a name.

That thought alone, if BB doesnt work, I always have the aftermarket, is reassuring to me.

Of course the aftermarket isn't what it was anymore and it might decrease more. However, I think I can always sell the names relatively quickly if I need funds or just think I am not made for BB. If I am lucky, the aftermarket goes back up again at that time.

Agreed!

There are a lot of strategies not even mentioned too.

So what would be more profitable if you were to list on BB?

5 x LLLL names
or
100 x various hand regged names

In the grand scheme of things I don't think it matters. If we all had the same strategy, it would devalue all of our portfolios because we'd be competing with each other more. By having different strategies, some will be more profitable today, some will be more profitable in the future. People have chosen their strategies based on their time/funds available and level of experience. No one is right and no one is wrong, it's not a competition.

Domain "ezna" failed to close.

"Up" prefix or suffix are on the rise. Just recent: upability,com

@Dnbolt, I just sold u/p/t/u/n/i/t/y in com (a BB reject) on GD auctions using offer/counteroffer. Good, bad or indifferent, I'm just happy I had a good ROI with an XXX sale.

Btw everyone, I know that keyword + suffix are a dime a dozen and probably the easiest types of names to get approved by BB. Are they better or worse than keyword + keyword domains in terms of sales?

From a quick overview, I sense that keyword + keyword sells more/better, hence they are tougher to get approved. Is this true?

Disclaimer: I didn't do too much research into this myself, but I think I remember some BB newsletter charts.

 

[Candace]

Just in time, the September Newsletter totally answers my question. Although I am sure I knew that keyword + keyword domains sell better than keyword + suffix at some point before.

 

[Johnywang]

Does anyone know how I can monitor sales on bb?

Nice work. Comes to prove your knowledge and a source of motivation.

6L made up 52% of invented sales vs 16% for 5L. That was surprising IMO.

Indeed , that was the first thing I noted. I know sellers here who say 6Ls dont sell at all. I have sold in aftermarket many 6Ls that were accepted though.

 

[Dnbolt]

Some startup domains that has expired:

myRepLunch

Some has even secured funding.

Any comments?

It's most likely because BB has many more 6L listed then 5L and more 5L than 4L. I'm pretty sure that percentage wise 4L beats 5L and 5L beats 6L in terms of sales.

This was sales Doron, it was a breakdown of sales, not listed. Did you mean price wise ?

 

[disaac81]

Remember as domainers we may always feel 4L better than 5L and 5L better than 6L but of course it is not always the case. With a 6L you may be able to express and evoke more than with a 5L.

Think of ENVATO, it is a 6L that evokes a pleasant feel. The combination of 'EN' 'VA' 'TO' really brings this name to life. I know it is a famous example, but I am sure there are more. Each name is the sum of it's parts. For me I much prefer a good sounding and aesthetically pleasing 5L \ 6L or 7L than a 4L that looks plain. But that is just me.

Nice to see the number of 6L sales, keep it up BB.

 

[Doron Vermaat]

I meant that when you look at the number of sales in each category (4l, 5l, 6l etc) against the number of listings in those categories the 4l and 5l most likely have a better sell-through rate than 6l.

You are 100% correct with your assumptions.

Cash/Buggy and Quote/Basket rejected.

They have Buy/Buggy though and some real mediocre basket names. Same ole same ole

Starting to laugh about it now, it is a joke that just has to be accepted.

I was a little disappointed this morning. Submitted a bunch of 4L.com and they all came back a lot lower then I though.

I do think even BrandBucket is a bit lost at the moment with what they want to accept. They might need a sit down to help give us sellers consistency and reward for considering them for our quality names.

Just a thought.

 

[RU]

1 sale in last 3 months. 33 sales in total.


1. My names were good enough for bb to accept them, and
2. Good enough to rack up 33 sales.

I certainly wish my names were better, and I've learnt a lot since I started out in 2014.

How many sales have you guys had again?

I think you work in BB... just saying

Two word keywords are almost red line in BB. When I reg those, I dont even think of bb accepting them really but try anay way. Less than 24 hours I had Better/Plant, Pitch/Launch , Obtain/This shown the door. But they did accept Tech/Trapper which I thought might not.be accepted at all lol

Pitch/Launch is a great name, ideally suited to BB imo.

Very strange what they accept these days, but this is what happens when it is decided by a single reviwer rather than a crowd based review.

I think the latter should be brought in, to show that they value us sellers and the money we are spending on names to publish with them.
