I have a lot of questions and I'm curious about everyone's experiences and what has and hasn't worked for you personally.
OF COURSE, FIRST AND FOREMOST, YOUR NAME HAS TO BE GOOD. Moving on...
I watched the @Ali Zandi (link) and @this_username_was_banned (link) interviews on @DomainSherpa and read every post on here as well as the flippa blog.
I'll summarize some stuff from the Domain Sherpa vids:
Ali said (and correct me if I'm wrong):
If you're doing a Front Page Feature upgrade, when is the best time to do this? When are the most people actually viewing the front page? And when is there less competition so you will stay on the front page longer?
Twitter Upgrade - does this have any effect? I'm looking at their two twitter accounts and I don't even see listings being tweeted out. Are there more accounts I should be looking at?
Email to 150,000 subscribers upgrade - This is $149 and included in the $349 Ultra Premium bundle. Worth it? This seems to be a huge promotion - has it paid off for you sellers?
As far as body text goes in your listing, Ali has shown us what he does and I see it copied often. But else have you found that works that hooks buyers and convinces them that they need to have this domain?
On flippa, are you optimizing to sell to endusers or other domainers? Is it important to include information to appeal to both?
Where else can you promote your flippa listing outside of flippa? I see that domainshane.com includes flippa listings in his daily posts. Any other place?
Ok, I think I'm done for now. Thanks for any thoughts and ideas. Hopefully this discussion will be helpful for many.

- The best time for an auction to finish is on a Friday 3pm-ish eastern time?
- 30 day listings.
- No reserve will obviously get you the most action and probably lead to a bigger sale if it's a quality name.
