Hey, domain sellers! 👋

We have a special surprise for you.

Continuing from last year (and last week), we have some exciting updates to share with you about NamePros Parking Landers!

First, consider this:

You price your domain name at $2,500. For years, hundreds of interested buyers want to buy it, but the price is too high for them. They don't even try to contact you because they don't realize that the price is negotiable or may change. Years later, you decide to lower the price to $995. How many previously-interested buyers would buy it at this lowered price? You’d never know — until now!

With our new Buy Now options, you can finally contact those previous buyers to increase your sales opportunities. 💸

Here’s how:

Our landers have an option that requires buyers to confirm their email address before they can see the price. Once confirmed, the price is available to them and their email address is available to you. Simple and effective. Learn more on DNW.com.

Have you tested that ?
Yes, indirectly through our users, including brokers.

We've been following a top 5 domain broker using our landers since we launched in the beginning of 2023. Prior to the domains going under their brokerage, the domains were in the reg path. Once under their brokerage, the domains were removed from the reg path.

Profit increased at least 2X after removing from the reg path, depending on the client, even factoring in the broker's commission. Part of that increase is likely due to having an experienced broker represent the domains, but it also proves that the reg path is not as necessary as many believe.

On which tld ?
All major TLDs, including .com, .net, .org, .io, .co, .me, and now .ai.

Do you have numbers to show us ?
Nikul's hunch is solid: "I'd say 30%-40% of the reg path sales would shift to a lander."

The numbers will vary depending on each portfolio, so it's something that each investor needs to explore themselves to find out how well it will work for them.

For Nikul's:


That end result is the equivalent of more than 1.5 extra domains sold per year, on average.

You spoke about brokers, what kind of domains price are you speaking of ?
You told 0% fees, there are always fees, and charge back. Brokers are not free.

I've been playing around and wanted to try something like this. Unfortunately the Wix CRM won't let me change the Escrow links for each page but also wont let me have any more than 100 pages so I can't duplicate page and change the names and links manually (not that I'd want to).

I was considering linking each marketplace icon to the names sales page at each but decided that would be an enormous amount of work as I have zero coding/development knowledge.

Is it possible to achieve anything like the above with the NPs landers? I realise this might not be what other users would want and the wording etc needs to be played around with but thought I'd ask.

Thanks for all the great work @Bravo Mod Team

From $XXX to six figures or more.

Escrow fees are reasonable and can offset chargeback costs. Great options are Escrow.com and EscrowDomains.com. You can also offer cryptocurrency as a payment method to your buyers.

There are lots of options better than marketplace commissions.

Brokers are not free.
Agreed; the profit can be even higher without a broker's commission.

I sell a lot at 100, 200, 500.
Escrow.com fees are too high for that kind of price. Also very bad for non US users and dont accept many countries...

Which payment provider(s) do you prefer for your sales?

We have PayPal and plan to add Stripe soon.

Nicely done!

Which parts of it would you like to see on our landers?

We'll see what we can do. :)
Are we able to add multiple images like that? I assume the Escrow buttons look the same for your landers? Are the names shown in both cases (Upper and Lower) or just our choice of one?

Sorry if these answers are all easily found but I haven't been following this thread much lately.

Also can a portfolio link be added with a customisable URL to send users to our personal portfolio sites? I guess that can be achieved in the text boxes.

@Bravo Mod Team ,any way to adjust the top part of the background for "available for purchase,nuggies.ninja" and make it easy to select one bold color ,instead of all the color mix at the background?

It can be one bold blue,white,green purple .

Not sure paypal and stripe could work due to chargeback. Anyway i make only 33% with landers so even if 50% percent from reg path report to landers, i prefer to keep listing on afternic.

Chargebacks are relatively rare in domain sales, but you could require them to wire the money.

Wires are more final with less risk.
