advice Is it me or My domain?

[siyavuya]

I came to Namepros because it was highly recommended by a friend,
I bought a domain Artshop.io and listed it here. I waited and waited and nothing. I got a couple of views and that was it. No inquiries nothing. I have been asking around here and still no direct help.

HELP ME PLEASE I'm really lost.
Is it me or is it the domain it'self
artshop.io is supposed to be a good domain

I look forward to getting some help from you as to what I need to do to sell it.

Regards
Siya

It's mostly the domain. You being new on NamePros doesn't affect the price of the domain.

Your keywords combo are good but have a bad extension(.io). If you're a beginner, STAY AWAY from registering anything but .com. For example: if you listed "artshop.com", you'll probably get around $15k+ here easily.

Also STAY AWAY from hyphens, numbers and really long names.

Thank you for the advice. You will never catch me again with anything other than .com

Really? )))

Artshop.com is easily $xx,xxx name regardless if it resolves or not...

Resolving is not a good test. There are bunch of high value names that don't resolve.

To OP regarding artshop/io:

.io is mostly for tech startups. Now, if there would be some angle to Art Shop regarding hi-tech, then you might have an end user and even then you'd have lots of competition from artshop.com, art-shop.com, artstore, artmarket, artshop.ai etc.

Thank you for the reply. I like the way you look at it. I'm currently creating a list of people to contact for it. This is useful thank you.

I just wanted to chime in.

First of all, I think ArtShop.io is a mismatch between extension and keywords. Like many before me said, I think .io should be aimed at tech-crypto keywords as adoption for this extension is good in these markets.

Second, don´t let Namepros replies discourage you. Typically, you will get less than 10% of what an end user might pay for a domain on here. The reason why is simple. We are domain investors and we want an ROI of at least 10x when we sell a name, to cover renewals etc without being in the red numbers.

An example from this week: I had Acqua // .io on here (amongst other .io names) for $75 for a while. Nobody even made a counter offer, no interest at all. Yesterday, it sold through Afternic for $688. Lucky sell I bet, but it shows that the $75 price was way too high for investors here, while an end user would pay much more.

My advice: just put ArtShop.io for around $200 on Afternic and hope it sells. If it doesn't, drop it.
If you register new names: stick to short tech related names for .io, but remember .com is king and currently you can reg 4 .com names at Dyandot for the price of 1 .io name. However, selling .com regs is tricky too, so be patient and be very careful what you register. Make sure you specialize: focus on Geo domains, brandables, tech keywords, whatever. Don't go all over the place because I think you will learn a lot faster if you are focussed.

Congrats on the sale of $688. It gives me encouragement. Boy, do I need it. I decided to completely stay away from .io until I know what I'm doing.
again thank you for the help

Artroom dot com sold yesterday at GoDaddy for $5101.

I have a similar domain (dot com) I’ve received offers in the few thousand dollar range on that I’m still trying to get more for.

nurseryroom.com sold yesterday $5594. at GoDaddy
