Hello to all!

[Niko721]

I would like to introduce myself to this friendly community!

I have just started the whole domaining process a few weeks ago and after reading some material(everything will take years) I do have some questions and I hope you nice people could be of some assistance.

Concerning outbound mails:
In your experience, is it better to navigate future buyers to an auction on Godaddy or to just directly offer them the domain?
There is a lot of discussion on whether to approach your future buyers and tell them why a certain domain would benefit them. Is there a definite answer to this? Should I "put in a good word" for my domain and why it would benefit their business? Some people might find it intrusive in my newbie opinion.

Honestly, I think I'm a few days, maybe a week from sending my first mails. I do believe this is a marathon, not a sprint and still have much to learn.

From what I've read, I should stick to Godaddy until I have got some experience and expanded my portfolio.

How many domains does a top domainer have in his portfolio (average)?
Any tips on taking the Godaddy mail offered with the domain? (I'm not gonna use my regular Gmail) or any different mail provider good for domaining?
If I can(still learning the ropes) can I post the 3 domains I own and could you be so kind to give your honest opinion on my domains? I believe they can be sold in the low to maybe mid xxx(could be beginners optimism).

Thanks in advance and thanks for all the posts on this forum, they are golden!
Hope this is a beginning of a beautiful friendship!

Hello @Niko721 and welcome on namePros.

You asked how many domains a top domainer has in portfolio on average. This however is the wrong approach. Some really good domainers have only 10 domains, but these domains may sell for $1M+ each. Quality is what counts, not quantity, so you should focus on this.

Reading what you'd like to do with outbound mails, while you just started domaining a few weeks ago, doesn't seem like the best approach to me, at this time.

Hope you will become a successful domainer soon. All the best.

Hello and welcome to nps! Take your time to read and learn here before investing too much. You seem to recognize it might take some time to get going and that is good.

Yes, as said above, focus on quality rather than quantity. If a name requires 'selling' to a potential user, it might not be a great fit for them. The right name should sell itself.

Thank you!

Thank you all for the welcome!
Still researching everything (delaying starting outbound) but i think at one point i need to start sending those emails!
Kinda scary contacting CEOs as a noobie to be honest

You could start learning how to sell your precious names to family and friends, and see how the conversations go. Let them ask the nasty questions ("why would I need it?"), which you have to answer politely and with convincing arguments. Remember, for each sold domain, you will receive pancakes with bacon and maple syrup in the evening.

Solid advice! Pancakes with bacon and maple syrup for a hand reg domain is a good bargain :D

Welcome to Namepros!

Yes, you can list your domains for appraisal in the domain appraisal section. Good luck!

PS: One beginner advice always given is, don't hand reg too many domains until you get some experience.
