Creating my portfolio..advice please..

[Gianlu]

Hallo everyone, i'm Gianluca from Italy, i'm newbie here, i started to buy domain only 4 months agò.
I'm trying to build a my portfolio, i'm a beginner and i' d like to have some opinion about.
At the moment i think my little portfolio seems just like a rainbow
i like buy lll,one word premium or exactly terms of searches but in variuos ccTLD.
I bought also some various dot com. I think some extensions are very bad but not all.
So please some opinion from you?? Just some questions, which are the best ccTLD extension?

I'm sorry to say, but this portfolio is pretty bad.
If you bought .mobi or .net.co you clearly have not done your homework.
You should have bought one quality domain instead of two dozens. I think you are just playing the lottery here. My advice would be to stop buying domains, and read as much you can on this forum.

Thanks for your opinion..
yeah i think i should focus a specific range to do better, i bought some of this domains because Sedo appraisal is really high
for most of them and i think are all strong premium name
but sure some extensions really doesn't works.

Automated appraisals are worthless.

Automated appraisals are worthless.

i don't take my decisions only based on Sedo appraisal..

example:

livestream.mx
-global monthly searches 550.000
-regional monthly searches 3600
live+stream exactly terms search 100%
Sedo appraisal over 34.000€

I know the market of this extensions is not so bright
but i think this names have strong commercial value not even comparable to com or net but in my opinion should be interesting for some companies.

Hi Gianluca,

I am Italian too so feel free to PM me in our language if you have some questions.

Unfortunately your domains are pretty bad. You have some dictionary word domains but with strange/not common/not so valuable extension. You can hold on to a couple of them like livestream.mx but it might take a long time before you find a buyer and I am afraid you will end up selling it for a fraction of what Sedo says.

If you want to buy premium names or LLLLs or LLLs prepare your wallet!!! And pay attention not to overpay them.
I would always go for the .com though.

I wish you good luck but if I can give you some advice stop buying for a while and read, study and learn the more you can about the industry.

Oh..and don't let the people here fool you..they all look like " know it all " but they still buy crappy domains, lose money and have to let half of the portfolio drop. We ALL are still learning.

livestream.mx
...
Sedo appraisal over 34.000€

How many .mx have ever sold in that range, if ever ? As far as I know: zero.

Search volume is not the ultimate measure of domain value and yes, the extension matters a lot.

The third level domain registrations like .com.es .firm.in .net.co etc have virtually zero chance of selling, believe me. .mobi .la you can forget too.

Follow the weekly sales reports carefully, and look at what sells (keywords, extensions). Then you'll better understand what to buy and what not to buy. Good luck.

Thanks guys for your advice i really appreciate it...
sure i've a lot of things i stil have to learn.
I promise myself to stop buyin' .net.co.
For the rest i have no press to sell this domain names. I've just received offers for some of, but i declined it, maybe i go wrong but i think i could earn much more in the future.

LiveStream.mx highest offer 1.100$
Jewellery.mx highest offer 800$
Freegames.tw ( bought only 4 days agò) highest offer 500$
Index.com.co highest offer 350$
Royal.mobi highest offer 250$

For the rest of domains in 4 months no offer received. No one on my dot com?!!
So i hope to do better in the future and before buyin' again
i really want to learn more about.
Thanks and GL to you.

photonmymind- surely i'll write you a PM ,thanks. Ciao

You should have accepted every one of those offers, immediately. If you have any chances to go back and accept the offers, you should. Get your cash-flow coming in and don't spend any more until you are much wiser. I am in agreement with sdsinc.
