discuss Domain #6 Sold

[Want2learn]

Honestly, I am at a loss for words. This domain that sold, sold on the GoDaddy Premium Listings. It isn't enough money to get excited about. It was more than I paid! And once payment goes through Ill share the domain name. For those of you that have seen my domains . . . Lets put it this way, you all hated it. I liked it and thought it was creative . . . until I came here. And honestly, I wouldnt reg it again, so this isn't I told you so. no this is I am so relieved. And if I am indeed learning, and get out of the red, maybe just maybe there is some hope for me!

I can see some good domains in your portfoilo. I wish you more good sales

Excluding LLLL.coms, these are the better ones, imho:

weightt
denylies
eyecomplication
gr8k
diirections
tenef
specificlearningdisability

that is out of almost 300 names. Assuming 20 similar sales almost at cost, you probably end up with about $2000 loss once you write them off minus tax deduction of $300-600 depending on your income, other deductions etc.

Thank you for the feedback. I am surprised at the domains that you thought were better. Just today, while kids were taking a test, I organized my domains into these categories:

1. I like these domains a lot. I am not actively trying to sell them as I think their future opportunities are worth holding onto! I would renew then and renew them if top offer doesn't come. I will sell them at the right price, not just to move them. I would say I am planning to hold these. I am not mentioning any 4L, it goes without saying that they are in my top tier! Here are a few examples . . .
mainstreetguns.com- 2nd amendment groups like the NRA have lots of money. Americans love their guns. Main Street is a popular street name in the US.
profundstartup.com- I have a difference of opinion on this one. I think it is solid. Time will tell. Funding start ups is huge money. Honestly when @Silentptnr posted the staggering amounts of capital a few recent start ups raised, I was blown away. I had no idea it was as big as it was.
notontilt.com- Online poker in the US will help this. There is a guy on Twitter with this moniker, but he wasn't interested The idea of being on tilt to not on tilt is as central to poker as end users are to domainers.
I haven't gotten much love from NP with any of these 3.

2. This is a category that I like. Alot even! I want to sell these, and am trying to determine the best course of action. They could move into my top tier or drop depending on market conditions. I don't want to give these away, and would not let them just expire. Here are a few examples:
snanky.com
usnightlynews.com
gradualist.com

3. These are domains I do like. Domains that have some upside. Domains I want to move asap! A few examples:
fuck.training extension hurts, but which word is the noun and which is the verb or are they both verbs?
iimpeachtrump.com time sensitive
potterminal.com place to buy it!

4. What was I thinking? Trademark concerns. Would love to sell. Will not renew.
findyourhonda.com
kateperrysays.com
bun7.com

Avoid 3, 4 word domains unless it is absolutely good ones like HomeMortgageRates, FreeCreditScore etc. or something you are specialist in like SLD...

While ProFund is good, StartupFund is great, ProFundStartup is near meaningless. Even ProStartupFund is better, but still you have better options. So, if you start with thumb of rule "I don't register 3 words until I have established myself and am making money on domains", you'll save yourself lots of losses.

You'd eliminate names like findyourhonda, kateperrysays etc.

Avoid LLL+N, N+LLL etc. unless it is meaningful. I generally like gr8, so that is why I said that one is ok, but others might think that is not worth either. You can get thousands of those reg fee so buying and holding them is not worth, because buyer has so many alternatives. If a client really needed bun with number, he can go N+bun, bun+N with 20 options

With 2 word domains, don't modify words. iimpeach might be ok, iimpeach+word is worthless definitely. It has to be exact correct combo of dictionary words in meaningful order.

Thank you! I hope to avoid the 3 word and NL combo type domains going forward!!! I hope that ProFundStartup does a lot better than expected!!

see screenshot ) do search with " " for your ideas to test them.

I see! The quotes do change the search results as you mentioned previously!

That means in this case that profund startup is not being searched . . . correct?

I am glad that I did not see the move to South Beach being funded by this domain! However, the idea behind this domain is a workable idea. Pro= For or Professional . . . Fund= Giving of the monies . . . Startup= Beginning a business

A bank or lending institution that is for funding startups . . . or a Professional funding entity for new businesses

[Want2learn]

Yes it feels like a drought. Maybe I could interest you in . . . Jk but seriously!!

If it is not searched, it is not good. But you managed to achieve something else ) With trillions of pages online, there is nothing ever mentioned on internet. Think about it, billions of people, 30+ years, and you are the first one ever who used those words in that order

You know the Joker meme where it says, Not sure if serious . . . LOL We have had super positive interaction! I do appreciate it. Even if you were being facetious I am taking it as a compliment, though I do actually think you meant it as one . . . sort of lol I remember being in college and my buddies calling me the idea king. For clarity, idea king, not the king of great ideas My mind absolutely thinks differently than most people in general . . . That will take me places that others won't go. Again, not better just different. I will miss out on some things many of you won't. I think it is our collective "lots" in life.

I am a teacher in real life. I think I should have been a writer or an attorney! Im not sure why this is, I happen to be both creative and analytical. If I get around people that are analytical, I tend to turn creative and push those boundaries. When I am around the creative bunch, I tend to become organized and analytical. Maybe it has to do with balance??!!

So 30 plus years and billions of people and trillions of searches/pages and I manage to phrase something never coined before!

But in this context you need to coin what many are willing to buy. I have also learnt some additional clue from this string. Cheers and good luck
