So today marks the end of my first full year back into domaining after about a 10-11 year hiatus (actually started up again with some 2020 Black Friday specials).
It took me about a month to buy some new domains, understand how the marketplaces had evolved since 2008 etc.
By the end of 2020 I started listing everywhere, bought some on NP, got better with Expired Domains dot Net
Goal was to make enough sales to support my annual renewals: FAIL
I had 4 sales over 2021 on a portfolio averaging about 120 names. Two passive sales on Afternic, One sale on Sedo's 4 letter auction special, and one NameLiquidate Sale.
Sales ranged from (gross) $699 down to $98. I netted about $1,020 (I'm rounding).
The Good:
I made 4 sales and while I wish they were all 'passive' Afternic sales and larger, at least I made 4 sales.
The Bad:
This did not cover my renewals for those names I decided to keep ( I keep them all t GoDaddy for convenience and know I could prob renew elsewhere cheaper).
While I did not expect to make enough to cover purchases plus renewals, I was hoping to cover renewals, which I did not.
To be continued...
