Found a new way to cash on domain names

[steveteva]

I want to share you here how I sold a portfolio of 10 domain names for over $1000.00 in 1 day.

I own a portfolio of 10 great domain names that are contain wine keywords they are good but not that premium ones.

What I did is went to a wine trade fair with a nice 10 pages paper book I've created and print with my computer, on each page, I add 1 domain name, some infos on keywords, stats, description and how important is to have a keyword dot com for traffic, leads and potential customers.
At the footer I've add the price ($100.00 each to $200.00) depending on domain value.

I also told wrote in introduction that they are unique and highly sought after by professionals (wine shops, vineyard owners...) and they must phone me as soon as they were interested as it's first come, first serve. Gave my business card with phone number.

There were over 1200 wine industry professional exibitors. I could'nt do all so I've select those who don't have any websites (incredible: yes in 2008 some still don't have it) or that match my keywords. I didn't count how many exactly I gave my business card but was like less than hundred.

Same day I got over 20 calls all interested, of course I only sold to whom first called. I also suggest website design and SEO to some businesses.

So as you see, it's possible to make money selling off line.

Personal internet business, I do it as hobby so don't really have any business for this I put Domainer.

Bought Avery business card sheets to print and just print :

Name, first name
Domainer
Adress

Phone (000) 000-0000
email adress

What were the domains you sold?

Will not disclose for privacy also this is not the discussion.

You can apply this to any industry niches (weddings, photography, travel....) all you need is a decent portfolio of dot com that is related to that niche.

Steve,

Thats was a brilliant way to approach end-users who don't even know they need a domain.

As for your business card technique - brilliant. I haven't
used Avery (currently VistaPrint) but I'll look into them.

Good Stuff!

A person must think about the time involved.

I am sure some of those twenty people who called needed a education about domains and maybe how to get the name transferred to the buyer. All that takes alot of time Imo.

Maybe many emails went back and forth.

Can you say how many actual hours it took with contacting all parties involved, all the time spent finding and getting to the event and walking around and then getting back home until the names were sold. Divide those hours by $1,000, deduct your cost of the domains.

You made how much per man hour spent?
