I am newer to domaining and when I came across this website, I thought I had to signup today, because it seems like there are a lot of kind and knowledgable people here in this community that I could connect with and get to know, as well as learn a thing or two about domaining as a beginner!
I'm sure I've made some noobish mistakes as a budding domainer already (started getting into it about a week go), but hopefully I can get some advice or suggestions and correct any bad habits I might be devoloping at my first stages as a domainer!
I do have a pretty positive mindset so far about a lot of the domains that I've bought, but I do know I've bought some sh*tty ones as well! Lol
I think maybe some of my mistakes are as follows:
1. Buying domains based on the high estimated value provided by Godaddy's Automated Appraisal Search Tool. Lol
2. Maybe buying too many domains as a beginner (106)
3. Buying domains that sound interesting, silly, "Cool" or weird and don't have any real meaning or keywords in them. Like "Froolies.com" to name one... Lol
A few things I think maybe I've done right so far:
1. Instead of buying only short, weird, sounding domains with no real meaning like "Froolies.com," mostly buying domain names with actual real words like "NetCoreBank.com" or "LoanPire.com" instead maybe? Or perhaps those are just as bad as Froolies.com? Lol
2. Getting the discount club membership with Godaddy for a year, and signing up onto Afternic for more exposure.
3. Putting the Afternic landing pages on my domains instead of going with Godaddy's Cashparking, which I think would make it less likely for most to even consider clicking that green banner and buying, let alone click on any of the ads. (Again I'm new, and perhaps my assumptions are not so accurate?)
4. Keeping my prices rather low and reasonable for potential buyers.
5. Having a positive attitude.
6. Being patient.
I'm currently looking into other sites as well for more exposure like: Sedo, Flippa, and NameSilo, but perhaps I don't need to add my domains to these sites just yet. My idea is to just keep it simple as a beginner and wait maybe a month or two with Godaddy and Afternic and so if I make any sales.
Anyway, this is where I am at in my journey as a domainer, if anyone would like to provide some advice like "hey, I think you're going in the right direction so far, but maybe consider doing this here instead" I'd really appreciate it! Please be kind! :D
