advice I’ve Been Hand Registering Domain Names Recently…

[Omar Negron]

When I first got into “domaining”, all I read was how bad the idea of hand registering domain names was. It felt like if you didn’t get a domain name in an auction or catch it on the drop through various companies like Snapnames, Namejet, Dropcatch etc, then the domain name was worthless.

Most of the good domain names never make it to the end of the domain name life cycle. But I also noticed that several people talk about sales that they’ve made through hand registered domain names.

How is this possible if only the crappy domain names make it to the end of the domain name life cycle?

Typically my outbound emails go something like this:

Hi there

Would you be interested in buying domainname.com?

Thank you

Name

Nice. I love it.

If they want, they want it. All of the sales emails that are super long never made sense to me.

What are you putting as the email headline, the domain name?

Thanks guys for sharing your thoughts!

Recently, I found some good names that resold for almost $100-$500, and they become available today!

Do u think those have more value than domains with no historical sales?

Of course you can still hand reg names. I picked up mumslog.com this morning for reg fee. I had to look through a thousand or so names to find it though. I reg'd it as a quick flip, but afeter chatting to a few mums in the local McDonalds, I'm tempted to install Drupal on it, and let a bunch of mums post diaries about the activities of their kids.
