Hi,
Looking for an open and honest debate about my current domain portfolio.

Most of the names above are listed at Undeveloped / Sedo / Afternic.

Also have a number of domains listed at BrandBucket via the following link:
https://www.brandbucket.com/profile/staremedia

Holding domains in many different extensions, mostly with some great keywords. I know .com is king but there must be value in the other extensions.

Apart from a couple of sales approximately 6 months ago, not receiving any inquiries for anything!

Recently did some outbound on around 20 names, but never received any emails in return.

What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks in advance,
Steve

one thing, lack of patience.
it takes time for some names to mature.

second thing, too many off-brand extensions, regardless of the keywords

third, overall quality is poor
you got plurals, where there shouldn't be
you skeezed off NB to create namebiodata

and .co renewal fees may eventually bring down the house.

imo....

IMO
That is a lot of domains that cost a lot for reg fee, time management, which increases over time.
It makes more sense to me to have fewer domain names replaced by more premium .com, and or dictionary one wonders.
Be prepared to hold domains 5- 10 years..

Here is how I think you need to think about it..
Calculate the reg fee for 5 of those domains, lets say over 10 years times
you get $10x10 yearsx5 domains=$500..

Now think about this... for every 5 of those domains you could buy 1 or 2 pretty good 4l .com on ebay, godaddy, namejet...
IMO, better to have one premium 4l .com than 5 .xyz,
unless you are talking general, generic, major industry, like insurance.whatever, football.whatever.

To me your current portfolio is kind of a shot in the dark portfolio. You may get lucky eventually and have a really big pay out.... but I think it will be the luck of the draw in the name game if that were to happen.

You need to step back and look at the names. For example - what is "buck fizz" There is an English drink called "Buck's Fizz". It is a mix of orange juice and champagne, and was "invented" by the London Buck's club in the 1930s. imho buckfizz is meaningless.

I think there is an overall quality problem. As an end user I would be able to find better names available for regfee, or at least names that are good enough for my purpose. Most of these names are not compelling, so end users will not come.

NameBiodata.com
NamesSherpa.com
=> what did you have in mind when your registered these names ? Seriously ? Who do you think the potential end users would be ?

Vehicle.Repair => at least one nTLD that makes sense. But if the annual fee is $240 this is a put-off. Few end users are familiar with new extensions, and even fewer are willing to put their business on them. It's a gamble.

Stuttgart.io => can't see how a city name would have value in a foreign ccTLD. .io domains best fit tech-related keywords

ARApps.biz
VRApps.biz
=> how many noteworthy sales in .biz these days ?

BitcoinCash.pm
BitcoinCash.tf
Car.tf
Weed.tf
=> exotic extensions

In short, there is a lack of quality and liquidity. Personally I don't think I would keep these names. Instead, reinvest the saved money in better purchases (buy 2-3 names on the drop or auctions sites). Good luck.

@Stare-Media With these 85 domain names, only 24 are .coms. All others are not worth re-registering. I'd keep them until they run out, or you can put them in sets here on NP auction and see if anybody bites ... but I see you already have an auction going on some of these names so take what you can get.

Of the .coms, I like FindingCoffee.com - but probably best if you could start to develop a website for it in order to locate nearby coffee shops. SnappyPay.com also has a ring to it, but again it would take either a developed website or some good marketing to get it to sell.

Good luck.

Too many extensions, try focusing on com and your cc for a while. Try to unload Vehicle.Repair (dont wait until you are close to renewal)

 

[Sinfully Wicked]

For the cost of what you've spent on reg fee on those domains, you probably could have purchased one or two half decent domains with potential.

Quality over quantity
