domain Selling On Flippa - Tips

[JeffLemon]

I've recently listed my domain on Flippa - SwitchingInsurance (dot) com.

https://flippa.com/6643060-switchinginsurance-com

Does anyone have any tips how I can drive traffic to the auction or any other selling tips?

Seems like you are pretty good at it

- Tweet about it on Twitter.
- Let your domaining friends know about it on Facebook.
- Make a post about it here on Namepros, in the appropriate sales category.
- If the domain is expected to sell for at least a high XXX, in reality, consider a Flippa upgrade.
- An auction without a reserve price will probably get more attention, but is obviously more 'risky'.
- Add a realistic reserve and BIN. Do not expect big corporations to bid. Most Flippa users are domainers.

Best of luck...

I'm very doubtful if you would sell this domain for a good price on Flippa. There are two problem with this.

One is the domain name. Not a major keyword domain related to insurance.

And the other is the platform you have chosen to sell your domain name.

From my point of view, don't buy upgrades and burn your money. Just sending traffic is of no use if it doesn't convert. Watchers will be watchers...You need bidders. However, as @kohsamui said, promote it to your social media, write a post on Namepros for your external auction.

Good Luck!

I have no vested interest in this domain but I'd say "switching insurance" is a strong term related to that industry (imo).

edit:

You are right, search volume is very poor, but that is only one (big) part of the elements that make a domain an attractive purchase or not.

I'm a QA and have been testing Insurance products from companies like AllState to Zurich. Never heard of this term before. Doing a quick search on Google only shows few generic results like moving from one insurance company to another. This is not an insurance product. It is just an option.

I see what your saying and agree on the keyword search, but there has been no reference to it been a product. Could be a switching service or something

Stay away from Flippa. Sell somewhere else.

Strong keywords, age, no reserve.

You'll waste time and money trying to sell domain on Flippa. That's my personal experience.

Hmm. Mixed feelings about this really. Flippa though... If you want to sell at a considerable amount, make sure there's a considerable RESERVE. Though lesser traffic but could sell good. If however you take away the RESERVE, would attract eyes but.... but... RISKY!

Since this is not a product or service. You can only hope a real end user would want to pick up the name and start something off it. You get?

Goodluck.
