domain I'm out ........ - AaCanvas.com

[GeorgeQuang]

Hi guys,
I'm a newcomer. I decided to become a full-time Domainer this year ( i knew about Domain Industry before, reg some like hobby but since Jan-2018, i started to build my own portfolio like a domainer)
So i started to learn, buying and selling names.
I've spent over $13,000 to build my portfolio and i'm increasing my budget day by day.
I've worked day to night in last 288 days without vacations and day offs.
I just bought "good names" that reach my criteria, so my portfolio is too small ( 530 domains).
But today, i feel too tired then i decided to look back what i've done and ... sleep earlier ( i live in Southeast Asia so i have to work at night, too tired you know ).
Then i just thought that why i didn't post my portfolio and ask other domainers about it.
I hope that i'm doing right.
My portfolio is below,
So what do you think ?

For $13k I would have bought a 3L or some CVCV .coms instead

 

[Bonsu]

I like taxhunter, vrbolt, tradekraft....
If I was aso that financially buoyant like you I'd take buying premium domains or super quality names in th $××× range maybe 40 names and you are sure or greater success.
I'm a risk taker, so if I'm gonna take a risk then I'd rather go all out!!!.

Success

 

[Bonsu]

For $13k I would have bought a 3L or some CVCV .coms instead

That was what I was thinking to

 

[Recons.Com]

All I see is the annual fixed cost of $5K with potential annual sales in $1K-3K range.

And similar portfolio could have been built on $4K-6K budget as well.

There are some "keepers" there too, like AiFactor, AiLeasing, AiStartup, FloralHub, FloralPros,

 

[bmugford]

At first glance I think your overall list looks pretty solid. There are lots of quality 2 word .COM with end user potential.

LLL.com are great, though $13K for one is an outlier price. Also, if you put all your money into one asset like that it is dead capital until it sells. With many decent domains you have far more fishing lines in the water which can help overall sales potential.

I will say 13K for 500+ domains is a relatively low initial cost.

If you raised the bar to around low $XXX average acquisition cost the quality would probably go up dramatically and renewal costs go down.

This portfolio will out renew any profits it will yield, it is to speculative, and brandable which will not yield the kind of sell thru rates you need to get your money back.

If you spent $13K over 530 names, that is about $25 per name, but you never know you might get lucky, and catch a few $2-3K sales, which might help get your capital back, but as you sell your better names, the lower quality ones will just weigh you down with countless renewals.

Hello George,

your portfolio is not all that great. The renewal-fees outrun what you can make, and I do sense some desperation when you talk about how much you work and how you built your portfolio. Through a PM I did send you a name you could register, but you said it did not fit your portfolio and profile. Now I believe you should have taken the name.It would have brought you more money than the 13K you invested.

Old dogs, new tricks? Don't work.

But young dogs? They can learn the tricks from the old ones.

You should remember that.

I don't mind if you can give me a name or two right now

 

[Asfas1000]

Are you out....or is it just a clickbait title ?

 

[briguy]

Fairsize portfolio...some great names, some that are not so good!

Because of the "overhead (renewal etc)" personally I would ( just did this recently). Downsize my portfolio by selling the low to medium value ones (or letting them expire)..
Kinda of what @wwwweb just posted (countless.renewals)

 

[Kazi]

There are some good two words domains which you can hold and some to needs to think on expiration. Overall not bad at all. But I would like to have some more decent domain with 13k at least cvcv or quality 5l and some mid to high end better two words domains.
All the best. Hope you will get some good sell.

 

[dordomai]

Good luck!

 

[Casey L]

Diversification is important for going full time. You want a good chunk of liquid names in the event of renewal season or in short-cash times

 

[Kate]

I disagree that your portfolio "is too small".
No, I think you have too many domains. Some are OK and you should make a few sales. But it is not certain you will make enough sales to cover the renewal fee year after year...
That's the unfortunate quandary of domainers: making sales but still losing money, thus operating at a loss...

Yes, diversification is important. But there has to be consistency too. Those regs seem to be all over the place, but I am not in your shoes and in your head.
Now if you're not making sales after one year, you should step back and review your strategy, not spend even more money. This is like slot machine addiction, always spending more for the gratification of a small win.

Many newbies say they buy regfee domains because they cannot afford to buy on the aftermarket. They want to build a big portfolio and they think more domains will increase the odds of a sale. That is quite incorrect, if you have low quality domains, you will struggle to sell. What I want is to scale back and have fewer domains, but increase average quality.
And then, when you look back at the money spent you realize it could have been spent on just a few quality domains.

I think domainers need to be very brutal, not fall in love with their domains. They should look at their domains like liabilities by default and not assets. So don't be afraid to trim the portfolio. The worst case scenario is to drop everything, but then you save 10K/year. If you have a disposable income of 10K/year you can buy some good domains.
(I am not saying you should drop them all, but if you want to retain them ask yourself why. There has to be good reasons).

 

[DASHCAMCLIPS]

I don't mind if you can give me a name or two right now

Haha...I can imagine that. I can give away anything, but I also have a broad portfolio for sale

 

[creataweb]

Time to start the $1 auction on NamePros OP - let the market decide!

 

[imadoer]

I think you should get your domains on better landing pages. Imo parked pages kill sales

 

[creataweb]

I think you should get your domains on better landing pages. I'm parked pages kill sales.

This is true. Those landers are

 

[Bonsu]

we all do

 

[DASHCAMCLIPS]

we all do

Hahaha...I know...but your profile picture shows a happy man, so I guess you'll manage to survive without my help for now. Let's focus on George first. He seems to be unhappy, so it is up to us to cheer hm up a bit.

 

[Kuffy]

I started to look through the list, and I didn't see any that turned me on. I think the list is far to long, and you should break it down into categories. You could then spread those over 20 or 30 pages.

 

[EmotiveDomains]

Are you out....or is it just a clickbait title ?

Given that the post mentions nothing about quitting, I'd have to say clickbait.

 

[Bonsu]

Hahaha...I know...but your profile picture shows a happy man, so I guess you'll manage to survive without my help for now. Let's focus on George first. He seems to be unhappy, so it is up to us to cheer hm up a bit.

Looks are deceiving as I just make sure I stay positive. I learnt about domain in less than 2 years and just 2 sales to cover up for total investment $120 and can't spend too much until I get high $×××/above sale to really kickstand my domain adventure because it's really interesting.

As for @george stay positive. Take each day as it comes as regards sales and enjoy the ride.
Cheers.

I took one name at random - OrchidClothing.com

Estibot values this at $630 - I suspect that could be a bit high, but it could be a good name for a clothes shop.

I looked up the who.is, and it says it's with GD with privacy

I typed the name into my address bar, and it said the site didn't exist.

You aren't making it easy for me to buy the name if I wanted it.
