Summary of this sub-portfolio that I've been running for last 7 months:

The .CO hand-regs portfolio operates as a numbers game - something that I've been testing on the side. I'm spending about $1.5k/month on expiring/deletes and it's making 2.5x on average. Not quite retirement money, but it provides contribution towards portfolio renewals in exchange for a reasonable time investment (1 to 1.5 hours per day). Over a six month average, it's approx $2k profit per month (after Sedo/Afternic fees but before tax) for 40 hours of work each month.

And some detail about methodology below:

I've developed a specific strategy that drives my buying/regging decisions. On the whole, it ignores one word vs two words and focuses on a range of other factors, many of which are detailed in this post:
https://www.namepros.com/threads/report-completed-domain-name-sales-here.83628/page-567#post-6484675

I'd love to provide a specific step-by-step guide to how I do it, but that will dilute any small advantage that I have However, I'll do my best to explain in more detail.

The purpose of the method is to look for .co domains that have a higher propensity to sell. To estimate sale-propensity, I've hypothesised that propensity increases with the likelihood of a domain pairing against the name of an existing business entity. This means going beyond traditional keywords and focusing more on business names that are widely used. (Note: this doesn't ever mean going after a specific businesses, especially a trademarked or unique brand. It is simply the search for a generic word or set of words that is commonly used as a business name).
With that in mind, if you have one word rather than two, it generally increases the breadth of application and reduces specificity. However, sometimes that exactness contains that brand value and those two words have more meaning than one alone. Eg. Cold vs ColdWallet

In the list shared above by @AbdulBasit.com , the domains 'StockBridge', 'BookKeep' and 'BrightMedia' mean nothing to me but they came up in my daily search list. I manually validate around 30 domains each day from this filter (search list). It takes between 1 and 3 minutes per domain in the list and I end up buying between 5 to 15.

As an example: during validation, the data says that Stockbridge is taken in most major tlds and there are 25+ matching business names on Linkedin (ignoring any companies that haven't uploaded a logo).
A quick search on the People tab on Twitter shows that it's also surname. The disambiguation page on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockbridge) lists a range of locations in UK & US that also share this name, so the potential business count increases because lots of business names include city/town/village. A final search on Google (for stockbridge*.co*) validates it's occurrence on/within a range of domains across the first two or three pages. Even if it isn't an existing entity that buys the domain, the broad usage of the term within company names also gives a higher likelihood that in the future, new entities might also contain 'stockbridge' in their name.

For me, when a domain isn't a .com, it doesn't matter that a domain is keyword rich or has great PPC.
I also expect the value of direct type-in traffic to any .co to be minimal. The importance of keywords in the domain for SEO/SERP ranking is debatable as well, so I focus away from that too.
My experience has been that if the .co doesn't match a generic business name, it makes it harder to sell. This is true even if it is keyword rich and/or highly descriptive of the primary activity or product of the business.

Linking some additional things that I've previously shared about .co below:
https://www.namepros.com/threads/dot-co-confusion.1033963/#post-6293060

Lastly, don't forget that it's still a numbers game... whether you have 100 domains or 10,000. So the method above improves my inventory sell-through-rate but I still have plenty of domains that I reg which end up getting dropped or renewed at a higher cost!

You put it on basic $1 listing rite? or is classified listing still free on flippa ?.

not too sure about the wordings they have... I just put all flippa domains I own at 1$ + makeoffer ... no buynow.. and I do it by clicking ADD MORE DOMAINS. when I visit any of them it does say CLASSIFIED DOMAIN on listing page.. but again, I am not sure what that means in terms of flippa wordings or listing types. hope this helps.

p.s. and yes, all these listings are free.

Hi,

i started dealing with domaining 3 years ago, but after several unsuccessful sales I gave up.
A three months ago I tried again and found some good domains however I still did not make any sales though I tried. A month ago I decided to try another domain before I quit domaining, and I succeeded, sold my first domain. I have to point out that until now for 4 domains I had inquiries and bids but at the end of each sales failure and the buyer would stop responding to my messages, it all discouraged me. This way I would like to thank all members of the forum who helped me in any way because without all of you I would not succeed, This sales gave me the power to continue to deal with domaining.

And now some information about the sale:

Domain name: CarpetCleaningJackson.com
Sale venue: Outbound
Seller: Me
Asking price: $200
Sale price: $200
Purchase venue: Hand registration
Purchase price: $8
Details:
I contacted about 50 potential customers, one was interested and agreed to the price. He immediately paid me $200 on my paypal account but did not want to open the account at the registry where my domain was located so we waited for the domain to exit the domain lock period and then made the transfer to his registrar.


Thank you once again and wish you good luck and success

P.S. Sorry for my bad english.
