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

Artshop.io is bad name, very very bad. Let it drop you waste money.

You can't say like this. You need to support her.

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.

I never implied your post offended me. But your expectation to just be able to reg a domain, join a forum, and expect a sale within 9 days is somewhat naive and whinyish. jmo.

Have respect. People are here to ask valid questions and not receive arrogant responses like yours.

If you want to sell it then PM me I'll buy it. Forget what the negative nancy's here are telling you. Even the owners here at NamePros are not very nice and considerate. Shoot me a PM or email me at [email protected]

One thing good about you is that you are willing to learn, not like other newbies that comes here and begin to claim all knowing. I believe you will thrive in this industry.

Do not try to develop the artshop domain. As a content creator who have developed and sold many websites, I can tell you that growing a website is 100% harder than selling a domain.

Focus on learning how domain works, and try to invest in quality domains little by little. With good fortune on your site, you are going to be making sales soon. Once you make your first sale, the confidence will rise.

Cheers!

perhaps there is a buyer for your domain name but namepros is not the place to try to sell it. Youll need to list at afternic, sedo, godaddy and put it for sale on a landing page. Don't expect a super high sale price for this domain and expect to have to wait some time before it actually sells or your get an offer. You may be able to find a buyer here on NP, but the price will be very low and that buyer will do the same as I stated above to sell the domain name for high $xxx - low $x,xxx. Good luck!

Now I can move on knowing the mistake I made. I was think ing of developing it into a site but that would be a waste of time. I'm grateful

Hi

from my perspective, the only mistake you made was thinking it would sell in a short period.
,
anticipation, expectations, assumptions , etc, about domaining, can all lead to disappointment.

however, the domain is good if you just want to develop it

especially if you are knowledgeable about art, can draw or paint or you want to sell various types of artwork

then..... after you put in that work, value will be obvious

imo...

Yours is not a resale type of name. Because of the extension,
But, as biggie has said, it is a great keyword for development, and if you have skills the learning experience will be as valuable as the domain when you are finished.

The ability to flip domains in a short time is a learned skill, and not learned overnight.

Don't give up, take everything you read in this thread with a grain of salt.
Some members know what they are talking about, some don't, but everyone has an opinion, and it shouldn't take you very long to figure out who knows and who blows..

My suggestion is before you register any more domains you spend a couple of MONTHS, reading and learning the what and the why of this business.

You are obviously intelligent and would know that nothing of value comes easy.
Put in the work, reap the rewards.

Welcome to NamePros!

Peace,
Kenny

PS, the level of personal attacks in this thread is outrageous.
We'll be coming back to clean things up, and some of you will not be happy.

Domaining is also an art but not an easy one. It takes a lot of time, patience and hard work before you'll see good results. You have shown eagerness and humility in your replies and you have my admiration. It would be prudent if one starts his/her domain ventures with .com as this is where the real gold is and where most phenomenal sales come. Just deal with the other tlds later on if you already have gained enough skills and experience. Wishing you good luck.

It takes time.
Look at me, I am registered here for 12 years, I love domaining, I made some money, but I never reached the $1k mark... I had sales in mid $xxx area but that is all.

If you start domaining, you really should be patient. It is not an over-night scheme to get rich.
My advice: register .com. They are the really ones that I sold nicely. With new gtld's, I just did not make it... maybe is just me, but I offered most of the ones I have here for free. The only one that I have now, is a .xyz which is my last name, so I can do an e-mail like [email protected]

Good luck

You already have the best of the best advices here. I just want to add that if you're looking to sell it quickly, then you'd rather have to reach the potential clients and not wait for them to come to you i.e., do outbound. Emails, calls, FB, Google, Twitter, scan all these places for your potential clients and contact them with a great pitch and price.

Artshop is such a great keyword. 'Art shop' gives About 23,840,000,000 results(0.62 seconds) in google.The only drawback is the 'io' extension which is more popular for tech domains. But again, its totally upon yourself how many buyers you can reach and how well you can sell.

Btw, NP is reseller's place, so, don't expect high prices here. I think, if you can find a end user, you can at least make 2-4 times more for the same name.

All the best!

I'll be honest, I didn't read every single post in this thread.

The fact is, lots of people tell .IO others that .IO is a tech TLD. Not 100% true, actually. .IO is the ccTLD of the British Indian Ocean Territory which was cannibalized by the tech industry, just like .IT (to an extent). We should never forget the true origin of a TLD. You could be leaving money on the table.
For instance, .IT is the ccTLD for Italy. People think it's a tech TLD (Information Technology). Nope. I'd register Hotels.IT in a heartbeat.

Unfortunately, I'm doubtful there is a single art shop in the British Indian Ocean Territory since it appears to be used as a British Military base (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Wikipedia shows 2012 population as...
• Non‑permanent 2012 estimate c.2,500 military personnel and contractors
• Permanent inhabitants ZERO

So, unfortunately, if I'm right about that, your domain is no good in that respect either (selling to an art shop in the British Indian Ocean Territory). But perhaps you can develop it into a domain that will bring X,XXX? I don't know what, I'm just sayin'. I suppose you could setup a wordpress/woocommerce dropship site with Alidropship and import art supplies for AliExpress. Just a thought. But this all costs money and time, of course. And no guarantee of buyers.

Lastly, don't bother with those online appraisal services like Estibot and Godady. They are 90% worthless.

Oh wait, one more lastly: The vast majority of end-user domain sales are not made from people listing domains on a website and getting buyers without doing anything (passive income). They are searching for buyers and contact them or enlisting a broker to do it for them. I don't think domaining is a passive income for most successful comainers.

If you want to sell your domain quicker, just try to send some outbound emails to artshop sites/companies.

 

[ecomslice]

so much advice on this thread, but the OPs original domain in first post still has no landing page....


I think balance of learning and doing is why i write this, its a positive push in the right direction.

 

[Fadi H]

GoDaddy appraisal on ArtShop.io is $2507.00 hang on to it for a while and do not sell it too cheaply!

Oh some people still rely on automated appraisals ?

We would not reply on automated appraisals, but that being said, it's a great starting point.

 

[Recons.Com]

ArtShop . com does not resolve. I think its not a good sign when trying to sell the .io

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.

 

[tvanrijt]

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.
