Hi Guys!

Since I'm new here, I'm not sure if this is the right category.
Yet , I would like to introduce my investment in domain names for 2021:

sk1n.com - bought for $ 305
freizeitsport.com - bought for € 149
zahnfabrik.com - bought for 119 €
möbliert.de - bought for 50 € (furnished in german)
lotto.bz - bought for € 49
parbook.com - bought for $ 1001
divisao.com - bought for $ 275

I will be interested in whether you have invested and in what name and whether you are using an investment strategy.

Regards

Can I ask the reasoning behind paying $1001 for ParBook?

I googled it and nothing really comes up, a few people have this name - I am wondering if I am missing something, because to me it is not worth that........unless it has some specific meaning
attached to it.....

Golf booking site, maybe.....???

Also did a backlink check on it and there is nothing there to suggest value.......

If anyone else can see value in it then I would be interested to know why.......

Actually you're right ... The name is unknown. The name is composed as follows:

par (tner) book
similar to parship or facebook, all fantasy names.

you never know, but you have to have vision, i think.

thank you for your opinion and best regards

Par means by, per or via in French.
It's also a term used in golf.
Best of luck!

Welcome on NamePros @DFM and good luck selling. Did you start domaining this year, or did you already have some other names as well?

In domaining I am set for a year. I still have a few domains in my portfolio, these are only currently purchased.

Hi thanks. I'm not an expert, there are people who are much better.

I bought these domains in auctions on sedo.com, namejet.com and ebay.de.

I also believe that the gTLDs are on the rise and will increase in value due to the scarcity of domains. I've backed up these:

eros.center
mieten.kaufen
schooling.digital
gamebook.online
blitz.deals
halal.credit

Let's see how it works.

These are not ccTLDs, but New gTLDs :)

but from what you've posted so far, looks like you spent at least $2k

just wondering if any of them get traffic and earn any ppc,
and have you sold any or had any offers on/from your list?

imo...

Yeah right... So why didn't you take it asap?
Thanks. You shouldn't always sell to the first bidder. It is best if several are interested.

The term BlitzDeals is used in Germany by all the big players as Amazon, eBay etc. for quick offers.

Turnover rate is also important here. Make some speed and Don't Ever fall in love with your names. Close this deal as blitz as possible. The irony? :)

Thanks. Most likely I'll sell this at the price that's okay.

The highest ever recorded .deals sale was for $1,200, so a first offer of $5,000 should be a snap yes. But perhaps they wanted you to buy a certification first? LOL.

The truth is, many such domains are sold but not paid for. This has happened to me 4 times in the last 7 months, the domain has been sold, the buyer has dropped out. All sales on sedo.com

Therefore I think that it can be such a fun offerer again .. let's see ...

Welcome to NP

A few pointers for you.

Having a quick look through the names, it looks like you have fallen into the reg frenzy trap that most new domainers fall into. Buying this many names in your first year is far too many, especially without any sales. Dont buy 50 or 100 names thinking you will sell them all, it wont happen, buy 1-5 names and try and sell them, if you cant sell them, dont buy more, research and learn what you are doing wrong. Just remember if you sold a domain now for $15K, you havent made a profit if you add up what you have spent and your renewal costs.

Spending 14,500 is far too much for a new domainer, set smaller goals, invest say $500-$1k and buy a couple of decent names and then try and sell them for decent profit to end-users. If you do manage to sell them, reinvest that money into more names. If you dont have a good understanding of what makes a name valuable and how to find end-users, you will end up with a lot of names that wont sell. I would spend a few months reading this forum before buying any names. Check our Namebio.com and DNJournal.com to see what type of names sell.

Check and make sure you have a whole list of potential buyers before buying a name, its not use having a name with no buyers? Biggest mistake domainers make is thinking the buyers will come to them after buying an average domain. This wont happen unless you have really good names.

Don't hand register any names, email owners of decent names and find a bargain. These names are available for a reason.
Don't buy names and then just park them or put up a landing page waiting for a buyer.
Email potential buyer individually and ask if they are interested.
Its always better to spend $100, $200 or $500 on 1 or 2 names that will at least sell, rather than 50 or 100 average names that will end up expiring. Quality of Quantity
Focus on a niche you are familiar with
Focus on a laguage you are familiar with, translating english words directly to german words doesnt always work, ask German speakers on here. Don't buy .DE names unless you understand the German domain market.
Focus on getting the best .COM names in a niche, even if you have to pay a bit more.
Stay away from .LA, IM, Org, MD, and especially those gtlds as well like .Deals, Kaufen, Credit etc, most end-users have never heard for them. A lot of new domainers say they believe they will take off, remember its what end-users do, not we what domainers believe, have a look at the Gtlds sales over the last few years. Stick to what sells.
Shorter is better in domains, most of the time anyway
Dont mix numbers and letters
Stay away from hyphens
Stay away from company names/Trademarks

Any offers you get on these, sell them and learn more about the industry and then reinvest. The 5000 and 2.200 you got offers would be fake offers or appraisal scam offers, not real offers.

The truth is, many such domains are sold but not paid for. This has happened to me 4 times in the last 7 months, the domain has been sold, the buyer has dropped out. All sales on sedo.com

These domain dont sell, they are fake offers, the reason they dont get paid for is its just people placing fake bids or hitting the BIN button with no intention of buying the name. These are not legit buyers who decide to back out of a deal. Dont count them as legit offers.:xf.wink:


Hope that helps
Good luck

Good evening and thank you for the detailed explanation.

You are right on every point! I'll take this as the basis for domaining and try to do the same.

The only good thing is that there are people like you who help us in reasonable ways.

Goodbye for today!
Greetings.
