Hi

effort, tends to pay off, when you put a lot into it
and of course, it helps to know what you're doing too.

so, if you know how,
then the effort could be worth it.... depending on the domains you own.

still, you can always use a marketplace until you get ready to launch your own.
quite a few members have their own websites including myself and majority utilize the resources of the marketplaces as well.

Thanks for your reply. Other than contact details and adding domain for sale onto the landing page what extra information would you put on there?

Hi

i suggest you look at different types of sales landers, that currently exist for domains that relate to the same/similar subjects, as yours.
then....
you can see for yourself, what "extra" info is added or what info is "not" included.

sometimes, less is best, and sometimes more, tells more.
depends on how much effort you want to put into each name
and maybe whether which names, need more effort than others.

not to mention.... color schemes, images, logo's, font style, etc., etc.

imo...

I personally like the graphs that show direct hits (type-in traffic) like on Dan landers.

But honestly, I think the best way to sell a domain for the big bucks is to monetize it in some way. It doesn't require much technical know-how, but if you have that (like me), you can do some amazing things and will have a much easier time doing this.

One of the things you can do to monetize a domain is set up an affiliate blog on WordPress. Make sure to use the self-hosted, open-source version of WP for maximum customizability and flexibility, which is WordPress.org, not WordPress.com.

It all depends on how much control you want over your data. I have used Afternic/Sedo/DAN/Epik landing pages for awhile, but I have hated that I would get reported traffic where they could be bots/can't see what people are doing once they hit the page.

I ended up creating my own landers. They are pretty simple and I could upgrade the text if I wanted to, but I like that I able to see if people are clicking on the lander, how much time they are spending on the site, clicking either the urls or buttons I have set, etc. using Google Analytics mixed with Google Tag Manager to see where people are clicking while being able to filter bot hits myself with custom filters to help me figure if a domain name is potentially worth renewing or not. It is a little bit more work to get your landing pages setup, but I think it's more worthwhile.

I see posts on "your own landers" or "marketplace landers". Can you advertise on both? (the NS would point to one place or the other). For example, create your own lander (with the nameservers going to your website) which includes your contact information, and at the same time LIST the domains on Afternic, Dan, Sedo, or is this against their TOS?

Another scenario is to have NS go to Dan landers, but have a listing of domains on a website you own, with your own contact information.

You can have your own landers and list your domains on Afternic, Dan, and Sedo. There's no problem with that at all.
