advice Just Sold My First Domain

[Peter Karpouzas]

Hey guys

So pleased to be part of this group as of today. I'm new to all this domain stuff as my primary focus is providing SEO services and although I'm good at that, I was actually looking to start in a new industry and to actually mention it, I stumbled upon this domain selling and buying stuff when someone approached me and asked me to sell a domain I already owned which was doctorsexpressnatic.com I can't believe this domain fetched a pretty little sum considering I paid 25 bucks for it. Well, I guess I have found my new industry which I want to get into. Really excited.

I can't understand for the life of me why this domain is so important except for the fact it has doctors and express in it which suggests some commercial intent. Can anyone give me some guidance if you have some time on what the best domains to go for might be when I'm buying ? One word domains, two word domains and so on. I took in some info on one word domains which was nuts. 30 Mil for friday.com form another posts. I've never heard of anything that insane.

Cheers guys
Pete

Interesting, because doctorsexpressnatic.com does not seem to exist.

Looks like a typo...OP must have meant DoctorsExpressNatick.com, which is registered, and still shows him as registrant on whoisology.

Welcome to Namepros, Peter. Looking forward to seeing you around the forum. Congrats on your sale.

Cheers, Mate!

Hello!

Congrats on making your first sale!

There are numerous threads on the Forum related to the buying of domains for resale - suggest you search for the topical areas or niche markets that most interest you and take some time to read up on buying in those areas.

That are also completed sales threads that are worth scanning to see the variety of names
( and ext. ) and prices various names are fetching.

There are buyers of domains who seek to quickly flip the names for profit and there are other buyers who make long term domain name investments.

The name of the domain name and the intent of this thread. I'm looking to see where this leads to. Welcome to NamePros.

Congrats! You always remember the first.....

Well, actually with domains you don't always...

Don’t you have to announce venue and sale price now, new rules?

Shocking isn't it. Got paid a lot more than that for it, as well. Just saw that it has been de-indexed. What is the go with that ? Who pays that much money for a domain and de-indexes it ? I don't get it.

Congrats on the sale. It appears that you learned that geo+keyword or keyword+geo domains have potential. Many end-users are too busy with their day jobs or just don't understand what to do with a domain (like a simple 301 forward to a website). I still have buyers who bought a domain but never bothered to change the nameservers. It's been reported that some even forget to renew and let domains they bought drop.

Congrats on the sale and welcome to NPs. I truly hope domaining will be everything that you hope.

BTW there is a thread for reporting sales, should you want to post the key data there. If you do so you might want to somehow alter the name (e.g. with / between every two letters) so a search of site does not find it, if that matters.

Congrats on your first sale and welcome to NamePros.

Just spend 1 or 2 hours in np threads for few months. You may have a better idea. But at this stage don't invest more on any domain and also don't buy lot of garbages.

Welcome welcome!

Not sure if it’s been mentioned yet but definitely head on over to the beginners section. It is very tempting to start buying domains immediately, especially after a sale, but I suggest doing quite a bit of research on this site first. There’s so much good information here and without knowing what makes a domain valuable, you’re liable to lose money and again be looking for a new industry.... and this is a good industry, so go slow, ask questions, learn much, and truly try to resist hand registering names for now. So many people don’t make it as a domainer specifically because of hand registering too many names before doing diligent research.
Good luck!

Yeah I just checked and it seems to not be there. I wonder what happened to it. That got transferred over to the new owner three weeks ago. Wow, completely removed from the index, too. Blown away.
