[rubencouto]

Hello!

BrandRoot (currently 2 published domains, no sales yet)

BrandBucket (currently 63 published domains, 5 sales)

Brandpa (currently 8 published domains, 1 sale)

Namerific (currently 100 published domains, 1 sale)

Branddo (currently 56 published domains, 1 sale)

Lysted (8 domains listed, no sales yet)

 

[ecomslice]

some data :

Bran Pa approx 7500 domains listed in marketplace
Squad Help between 7000 and 10,000. listed in marketplace

as for the attached stats another member posted, keep in mind ton of squads traffic is from the domainers themselves.

I have approx 40 listed and waiting on first sale. biggest mistake was overpricing for me. correcting now.

 

[GrantP]

Do we know the total number of domains (premium listings only) at SH? @GrantP

@Kachi I can't share the exact count but it is somewhere between 10K and 15K currently.

Time duration for BB is?

I've been with BB for almost 4 years.
My portfolio with them has fluctuate a lot, from 0 to 100, from 100 to 0 and now I have 170 names.
With a total of 6 sales.

@rubencouto -

Thanks for the update.

In your earlier post from April 10, 2018 (see below) you generously provided # Published names per platform along with # Sold per platform. Along with trending charts. THANK YOU!

Would you mind providing a similar post with a 2-year trailing charts from today's date along with your current #Published / #Sold tally updates?

It is interesting to observe your Sales ratios side-by-side with Trending charts and Popularity rankings.

Thanks for sharing your metrics and experience.

A lot of interesting data and reflections in this thread. Thank you to the OP and all who responded!

At NamesCon BrandBucket provided some stats both for the last 5 years and for 2018. I just published a summary as well as an analysis of what the data suggests for how profitable brandables on their marketplace are for domain investors. My post is here in the NamesCon Recap thread (since that is where the original data came from) but I wanted readers of this thread to be aware of it as well.

I'm on BrandBucket, BrandPa and Squadhelp.

Squadhelp: Had 5 sales. Squadhelp has the smallest number of listed domains so it's easier to be noticed by potential buyers. But there's a significant drawback - small payouts (compared to BB and BP).

BrandPa: No sales yet. I love the dashboard at BrandPa, smooth and fast website and (at least in my case) they offer biggest payouts. But it's very difficult to get them to approve anything.

BrandBucket: No sales yet. With BrandBucket it's a lot easier to get approvals. It's even possible to submit unregistered domain names and appeal rejected ones. And it does work - I did have a few domains approved after appealing rejection. Drawbacks: a HUGE number of listed domain names and smaller payouts than at BrandPa (though this can be subjective).

PS. Thank you @rubencouto! It was very interesting to see the traffic stats.

Hello!

Here are the approximate average profit (my net proceeds) regarding the sold domains in each marketplace:

Brandbucket: $1.100
SquadHelp*: $370
Brandpa: $750
Namerific: $550
Branddo: $550

I have accounts with Afternic, Sedo, Undeveloped, but not with Efty. I once made a sale through Sedo, that turned out a profit of about $200. So I've not had much success with these platforms.

* All domains sold at SquadHelp were not registered by me, but by SH.

Best regards!

 

[NYJimbo]

I've pretty much given up on brandables but SH has me excited again. Its not just brandables they offer, but this whole contest and participation thing which I think will really help propel them up the ladder in this game.

Hopefully they willl not drop the ball, they might only get one chance to break out. Right now there is a lot of positive energy here about SH and they should pay close attention to what we all are talking about.

Undeveloped seem to be listening and improving daily, SH looks like they are seeing that the Namepros base is really where they can get their best feedback on a real-time basis.

I just got another name pre-approved in the last hour. I am only submitting names I reg, but I might also look into some of the other things people are doing with them.

 

[Kachi]

Just a quick note: When I started using SH, a year ago, there were around 80.000 registered creatives. Now, there are over 130.000. So, most likely their individual sell-through rates are bound to decrease in time.

Do we know the total number of domains (premium listings only) at SH? @GrantP

 

[namerav]

I use Brandbucket, had 2 sales. Planning to use other marketplaces too.

 

[rubencouto]

Hello!

I found out about SquadHelp recently and I have two names published there:

have you had any experience with them?

 

[nitg16]

I used to lurk on SquadHelp and crowdSpring in my free time and won a contest pocketing $200 just by suggesting a decent hand reg domain .

There was no domain marketplace on SH, seems like a new addition.

 

[rubencouto]

Hey guys. I have names easily accepted on BR. Most of these names have been previously rejected by BB and BP.

I am woñdering if BB and BP are too strict or BR is too lenient with their approval metrics.

I just want to know if BR is a quality marketplace

Hello!

I don't know about it now, but at one time I was given a BR account and almost every domain I would suggest was accepted. Either I was very... lucky with my submissions or their criteria was a bit... loose. That being said, I think BR is a good marketplace because their filter is more strict on the admission stage. It's very hard to get an account. Also they still rank high in search engines.

Best regards!

Thanks. As popular as squadhelp seems, I only discovered it yesterday.

 

[rubencouto]

Thanks for all the data guys. The way I figure it, actual sell-through rates is key. If my landing pages do 3% with no commission, then with a 30% commission I better see a 5% sell through. Otherwise, what am I paying for?

Would be nice if we could get a factual sell-through rate for these marketplaces.

My experience is only BB. 50 names, three years, one sale - less than 1% so a big fail on their part. I hear BP does 6% and SH does 20% - true????

Hello!

Here are my sell-through rates so far:
BB: 0.78%
SH:
- 12 months: 10%;
- 6 months: 8.33%

The other marketplaces don't provide such stats (wich aren't very easy to calculate when your portfolio volume varies along time).

 

[rubencouto]

Thanks for sharing!!! SH seems to be the best from the data I see. BB seems to be a dinosaur - was great in the day, but now with too many names and not enough marketing and visitors sell-through seems to be dropping.

If a company was proud of their sell-through stats, they would surely post them. SH seems to be transparent, and seems to be aggressive in their marketing and strategy.

Would love to hear from more who can share their sell-through rates at the different marketplaces.

Just a quick note: When I started using SH, a year ago, there were around 80.000 registered creatives. Now, there are over 130.000. So, most likely their individual sell-through rates are bound to decrease in time.

How did you get into brandroot? Impressive result with BB. You are so lucky

Hello!

I sold a few names to Brandroot's representative, here on NamePros and asked him to creat me an account. As a matter of a fact, he now offers to do so to whoever he buys Brandbucket names from: https://www.namepros.com/threads/looking-for-brandbucket-domains-for-sale.1010988/

As for BrandBucket sales, I must also say I've been publishing names there for almost 3 years.

Best regards!

Thanks

 

[ivey]

Impressive man!
I have just started using brandable marketplaces and got 4 names accepted to brandbucket...

 

[Bill36]

Thank you for this list! I was looking for something just like it.

 

[domains21]

I don't know what is quite going on at Namerific but they have a new addition without any logo image and a 4L in king showing at $0.

 

[creataweb]

Had dozens of names on BB including nice 4Ls and only 1 sale for a name that a company got a TM for the same month I bought it. This is going back I think 2.5 years now.

Had a few names on BP (less than 6, now have about a dozen) and made 2 sales there pretty quickly. One was within 30 days of listing.

Have 1 on NR and no offers yet (4L .com)

None elsewhere because it's difficult to get an account at BR and not sure about BD.
