Can you give me some advice ?
Nothing more to add to that, that is a perfect summaryIn my humble opinion, the OP should not bother with low-value sales. Make your time worthwhile. Unless you want to get your feet wet because you are a beginner and you want to build some trader rating on NP. I understand that.
But you will have to raise the bar for yourself quickly. At the same time, people need to be realistic. If you have low value names, liquidate them for what they are worth ie $50 or $100. If you have good names, hold out for more.
But do yourself a favor, be selective when buying names. At least buy names that are worth renewing. Don't buy crap just because it's cheap. Crap is not rewarding.
Also, domainers do not value their time like they should. Research takes a lot of time, handling sales takes times too.
But most likely you will struggle to find buyers, you will waste money on names that nobody wants and in the end you will not sell enough names to be profitable. You'll waste time too, so think again.
Nice video, and particularly what can be interesting for many beginners is the information about pricing "sweet spot" for rmost .com domains considering such a large portfolio.yup
Apologize for the audio quality, we'll have a better setup this year

Register cheap
Many good names still available
Park on Uniregistry
Go outbound
Knock on the door
Build a network on LinkedIn
Even the "network" part?If you want to be successful do nothing like that!!! Thats a good example how to be not successful
Yes! Why you need network? Your sales should be end-user based. You sell one domain and never see the buyer again!Even the "network" part?
Okay trying to understand your point..other than using Sedo/Godaddy/Afternic/etc, how do you make sales without networking?Yes! Why you need network? Your sales should be end-user based. You sell one domain and never see the buyer again!
I know that the successful full time domainers use their Twitter/FB/LinkedIn/etc accounts to let other domainers (followers/etc) know that they have domain(s) for sale!
Even on Namepros, I get messages from members that I know professionally that either tell me that they have a domain for sale (in my niche), where a deal is and or I ask them if they know anyone in their circles that might be interested in what I am selling..
Maybe my understanding of networking different than yours?
Are you actually asking me to show you my private emails..are you serious?Show me one successful domainer that dose that! And show me one successful domainer who hangs in namepros and messages you about some niche domains!
Thanks

Just a twitter example
https://twitter.com/michaelcyger?lang=en
https://twitter.com/Frank_Schilling?lang=en
No I am not asking to show anything!
What are they selling in twitter? I mean Frank Schilling? Is he selling domains at twitter? I think not! Mayne promoting his new tld stuff, but that needs promotion
Selling domains to another domainer dosen’t make you successful domainer!They buy domains which are of the quality to receive regular inbound. They do use social media for outbound but obviously they don't tweet out in a 'for sale' manner.
I've made xxxxx profit last year just by selling to other domainers, that means that I was not successful? If I would have a blog I would have been more successful? What about the Booth brothers and others like them, who sell and buy domains at xxxxx-xxxxxx to/from other domainers, are they successful? What about if you make 2000 more than you have paid for, selling to other domainers, will that make you successful?Selling domains to another domainer dosen’t make you successful domainer!

I'm talking about pure profit...and I wonder how could you sell the same domains in a single first year by selling to end users. I know that you are selling mostly domains bought 10 years or more. So waiting 10 years for making xxxxxx profit it's worth it, comparable with making xxxxx selling in the first year and reinvest that amount? It's pure math...count that xxxxx amount, reinvested over and over for 10 years and you will have the final result. We are not even talking about domains that could loose value in this time and domains which you will not sell ever in your life...if you add them to the total you will see what means successful.Making xxxxx in year dosent make you successful! Its just peanuts. You would be making xxxxxx selling to end users
Thats what I am saying you do not need blog!
Booth brothers are not domainers. They are brokers.
And no making 2000 more selling to other domainers dosent make you succesful!
Thanks

No, they are not just brokers, they are domainers as well, you can't broker your own domains, they own a few hundreds domains.
We will have to take it as it is...and believe your statement,without any other explanation. Maybe sometimes in the future you will explain us exactly how works your math regarding being successful or not in domaining and also maybe we will have an official definition of a domainer, at least we will know who is one and who's not.They are brokers! Owning couple hundred domains dosent make you an domainer!
Selling domains to other domainers dosent make you successful. Its simple math!
Thanks

Not true. They charge 20%, $15 minimum, in commission. I think their minimum price is $50.The minimum price is $250 on Afternic.
