It's not even a week yet, that I discovered something that would have changed my life by now if I discovered it long time ago. You can make money flipping domains!!! I wasted all my precious time in social media, blogs, and whatever... instead of learning this long time ago! Bastard.
Alright, I read and I read, and I think I'm ready to jump in the sea, without learning how to swim yet. I buy 4 new domains on GoDaddy, and I list them on auction. "I'm gonna make a lot of money soon and I'm gonna quit my job in retail that is sucking my soul" - I say to myself and my wife.
I list my domains in GoDaddy, and I pay the 20$ fee that is required if I want them to show up in the Featured Homepage more often, and I wait eagerly for offers and bids. Days go by, and I haven't received a single offer yet. "What the hell?!" - I think. "My domains are shorter and better than a lot of domains that I see selling for hundreds of $, and I don't receive a single offer?"
I list one of my domains in Flippa for 9$, and I notice that it shows that my domain is only some hours old. Hmmm.. I continue reading, and I look at other people's auctions, where most of them were bragging that their domains are aged. And now I think I know, that even if I have the greatest domain in the world, if it shows that is only hours or days old, nobody is gonna care about it. I have to wait until they age for like 15 years, and give them to my kids to sell, while I still continue serving customers.
What I want to ask you experienced guys, is that am I right? Am I ever gonna sell a domain that is brand new, or should I only look to buy expiring domains, for which I have no clue how to do it yet. If only I would manage to sell ONE domain, it will give me motivation to focus on this with all my power. I know that I also have to be very patient, but I'm still looking for that first sale.
The other question is, are Auctions better in GoDaddy, or Offer/Counter Offer?
Whatever advice can you give me, I would appreciate it.
Thank you all in advance.
