tips How I attract attention to my GoDaddy auction and get 5 bids in first 4 hours

[bonin]

Hi all,

today I decided to put on auction one of my ... let's say one of my good domain names ( not going to mention which one, but a very similar domain was sold for $26000 a few months ago ).

I would like to share what I've done and what I didn't do.

Done

1. I start an auction at Godaddy, I paid $4,99 for reserve price ( just in case )
2. I posted on facebook, twitter and LinkedIn with a link to the auction
3. I contacted 4 different people, which I think may be interested
3a. To the first one, I sent direct message on Namepros
3b. To the second one, I sent a message on Facebook
3c. Third one was contacted via LinkedIn
3d. Last one via email
4. I posted on Namepros in "External Sales and Everything Else"
5. I've paid $35 to promote my auction on Namebio for 7 days

I have not yet done

1. I do not advertise on other sites, for example, "domaining.com"
2. I did not get in touch with more people who would be interested
3. I probably did not do much, but here you will share your opinion and experience

The result till now

5 bids from 3 different bidders, 108 viewings, all this in 6 hours...

Please share your opinion

Good names get attention...

It will be interesting to see the final selling price, and whether your money and labor was worth it.

Did it work?

18 bids from 5 bidders, higest bid was $340, but unfortunately didn’t hit the reserve price

The domain name was TheEmojis (.com), 4 yars old and with my opinion with lot of potential

so those $40 went waste?

Yes, but at least 2000 people saw this domain.... we do not know from which shrub the rabbit will come out
