question-answered Hi everyone, I’m new here – looking for advice on domain pricing

[alaaabdullatif155@gm]

Hi everyone! I'm new to NamePros and excited to learn about domains.

I have a question: how do you usually price exact-match domains? What factors should beginners consider when setting a price?

Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, alaaabdullatif155@gm

Exact-match prices aren’t about the keyword itself, they’re about who can actually make money using it.

Hi,
Pricing is the trickiest bit for me. I think the first thing to concentrate on is making sure your names are good, else they probably won't sell at any price.

Welcome to np, good luck

With pricing, for any domain, it is largely guesswork.
Forget any "appraisals" and "domain name experts", which are all fake/liars.

My advice would be to not set any price for a domain that is newly/recently registered or purchased. No landing page, no listing on domain marketplaces, nothing.
Just see if anyone emails you from your whois information and if anyone does, simply reply with "make offer" and nothing else.

After 3-6 months, if you haven't had any inquiries, you could try putting up a for sale landing page and set the price to double what you would be happy to get - you can always lower your price in negotiation but you can't increase it.
Then leave that landing page with that price for several months and see what happens. After nothing happens for a period of a few/several months, you could reduce the price by 10-15% and then keeping doing that every few months or so.

You could also look at similar names on namebio . com, which features reported domain name sales.

The above is all based on you having a good/great name to start with. If your name is crap/junk/stupid, it won't sell at any price.

MrKehel's advice to keep it simple at the very early stage: $1,000–$3,000
And in fewer cases, up to $5,000

Thank you for your detailed advice, I appreciate you taking the time to explain everything.

I’ll keep your points in mind. Thanks again.

Pricing to me depends on who you are selling to:

Rapid sales need to be priced low but you can flip in less than a week

Volume sales can often get you some nice flips when you aim to sell over months. Finding big investors who trust you can get you got 5+ times investment as the investors can wait longer than a lot of people for the big sales

Enduser sales can often get you $X,XXX sales but you have to hold onto your domains for a while. If you can get 5-20 enduser sales a year, this can help pay for the renewal fees for a reasonable size collection

Ultimately, you need a great strategy for finding undervalued names and finding markets that will pay a good marketprice or higher.
