discuss How many domains for 1 offer per day?

[Asfas1000]

Mission : 1 offer or inquiry per day

How many domains do you need for that ?

I'm not talking about portfolios with ultra premiums that very very few people have..... I'm talking about the typical domainer portfolio most of us have with a mix of crappy, half-decent and maybe a few decent domains....

So how many domains does one need to get 1 offer or inquiry per day on average ? Thousands !?! Please share your view.

Where do the inquiries originate from? Your domain landing pages or Sedo, Afternic or other listings?

All from landers or whois! I recently moved all my domains to use Bodis' enquiry forms (Can't justify monthly payments to Efty yet). The ones that have converted have all been the lander enquiry form. I've had a few couple of sales via AF and Dynadot marketplace each. One through GD Auction listing. None through Uni or Sedo (For me, Sedo is by far the worst performing).

I have just around one inquiry per week and 2-3 end users sales per month and still I think that the 70$ per year it's that much. At one inquiry per three days, just one xxx sale should cover expenses for efty for one year and a lot of paypal fees.

All depends on the quality of the domains.

Most of my landing pages have the option to buy or lease...I eliminated the 'contact' link as there were dozens and dozens of 'inquiries' per day...most, if not all, a waste of time. Normally I get one legitimate offer every month per 100 names.

I'd agree, no. of inquiries would be directly proportional to quality of portfolio.

 

[ben pedri]

depends on the quality I have 2500 total according to afternic average 1800-2700 each using their new tools , get about 5 inquirys a week and a lot of that is from cheap bastards,you sort of know who will be a buyer as soon as you get the email ,just not the price

 

[maxtorz]

I have multiple domains 4-5 that I get inquiries and offers daily, so really this post doesn't give you many facts...
The question to ask here is what percentage of domains sell from a portfolio and what's the average price?
1% sell rate with an average of $2000+ sale is considered fantastic
A lot of people will have a bigger sale rate but a much lower average sale price.....
I would rather stay in the 1% bracket, so YES most of my INBOUND sales fall into the 1% @2k+ average sale price.
I do outbound on the daily and sell 20-30% of my mediocre names in the $200-$700 range....

if you have good names they will find you.

If I had a dollar for every time someone here said this I would be rich.

I am sure I have even said this myself at some time here.

I think this should be modified a bit.

I should be "If you have a name someone wants they will find you"

What is the difference?

After doing this for a long time and seeing the kinds of names that sell it is sometimes hard to define a "good" name.

Sure, there are the obviously good names that we all can recognize.

These are the ones we see at the drop and know immediately, in our gut, they are "good"

But we all see names that sell and wonder why they did.

The answer is this - that particular name appealed to that particular buyer.

Was it a good name?

It was to that buyer!


So, if you have a name someone wants, they will find you.

If they want that name, then it is a "good" name.


After all, aren't "good" names just names that sell and make us money?

Good names are names that make a us a profit.

Right?

That's it.

Forget all the other BS.

Totally agree.

There was a saying , "if you build it, they will come". But, in the age of Internet, it's no longer relevant.

If you have a good product, or domain, you still need marketing. That's how you make its benefits more obvious and remind someone that they want it.

If good stuff was selling anyways, there would be little need for advertising !

Question already asked and answered on page 2 of this thread.

But I would ask how/where you sell these domains?

 

[AbdulBasit.com]

I have 1,300 domains and gets approximately 150 inquiries per month.

That's amazing ! So with about 1,800 inquiries per year, you are sure to make some sales

How many sales per year if you feel like sharing ?

 

[MapleDots]

Stick to a plan, decide what type of domains you want to buy and sell and stick to it. Eventually you will learn which ones work and which ones don't. I have been doing it since 2011 and sell at average 5k per domain. I have a few documents (including references) I send to potential clients and eventually they see the advantage of a decent name. I also keep in touch with people I have sold to and most of them have given me great references saying what a difference the domain made.

So I would say focus less on 1-2 inquiries per day and sell to the clients that do inquire. I will usually wait a week after the inquiry and send a sample logo on a webpage so they can see what they are missing, it works like a charm. Provide well documented supporting materials and just like that the sale happens.

Each year 1-1.5% sells from entire portfolio.

It is all a numbers name really, its not like my domains are pure junk either as i do own 4 letter .coms and 2 word dictionary domains. However, i have only been in the game a couple of months. I dont hand reg domains anymore, i buy from expiring auctions and closeouts mostly. Sometimes from namepros

I find that hard to believe considering 4l.com's are liquid. Liquid domains get numerous inquiries although most are lowballers. I sold my 4l.com's but when I had them I was spammed with offers non stop. Maybe things have changed.

IMO it's better to have a small portfolio of quality names than a large portfolio of mediocre ones.

 

[mpls]

For 1 offer per day, like said in previous messages the most important parameter is only 1 quality.
The second parameter is: Most of your domain must to be .com (preferably 1 word/LLL).
My stats are: 200 names, 2/3 inquiries per year, 1 sale per year.
