How do you get "eyes" on your Godaddy,Namejet,Sedo auctions?
I'm asking because my last Namejet auctio was DISASTROUS!
depressing too. I was told by Namejet. It was too much too many and I overwhelmed potential bidders.
That it's best to space it out.
But I couldn't help thinking my domains just "sucked".
many said so too. (tough love!) lol
That said. We've all seen some crazy domains sell for tons of money. most don't even make sense!
is it all just a crap shoot? or is there a science to getting domains to sell for so high? I guess that's what we all hope for here.
I mean yea people sell to endusers all the time and it's announced on here. but when auctions go for big money? We usually ask "What?"
Or we usually say "Somebody paid too much!"
Nonetheless these domain owners did something to get "eyes" on their auctions so much so that the right person was in the crowd and they saw value in the domain to bid high.
In thee end it's all about quantity of "eyes" on a domain auction.
How is it done?
skip the whole
"advertise on namepros"
or
"advertise on Namejet"
or
"list your domains here on Namepros in the external domains section"
That's all understood so let's not waste time saying all that.
What's the "other stuff" besides all that?
Social Media but I've been to all the Facebook domainer sections.
It's just tedious. It's just people trying to sell each other stuff. lol
What about Twitter?
Instagram?
youtube?
Linkedin?
Snapchat?
Wechat?
QQ?
TikTok? lol jk
Reddit?
DNF? That's dead. I don't see anyone posting on there like here.
Quora?
Any success with these?
What about Domaining.com?
What about email marketing? How does one do that without just ending up becoming a spammer?
I had asked one time over at Godaddy if they would allow me to instead of giving them 20% commission on my auction I'd give them 25% but in exchange I'd want the Featured listing in the exact match keyword section for my domain.
that's worth losing 5% of the sale I think.
paying upfront simply is not an option for some.
I mean Godaddy can even choose to be picky if they want on whom they would give that 25% commission offer to in exchange for Featured listing. I mean it's not like you are twisting their arm.
This can be applied to Namejet or even Sedo.
Never understood why these auction companies choose to make you pay upfront for featured listing.
I guess if you are confident you can pay the fee because you know you'd get it back because your domain is awesome.
but still who here is really THAT confident all the time with their domains. There's always that fear and apprehension that maybe my domain sucks. or is it just me? so we hesitate on paying up front for the featured listing.
Anyway's me rambling so what are your secrets to get eyes on your domain auctions?
