What am I doing wrong?

[nmr86]

Hey,

i have some domains.. and they are for sale.. but no one seems to be interested.. and a few domains are good ( in my opinion ) and also receive some traffic.. 2 / 3 uniques a day (not bad at all, without advertising or a site on it)

the domain where im talking about above = tophosting.us

not bad huh? but why noone is interested.. its not a bad name IMO...

i need some advice what to do.. i dont know it anymore

in a dip here

[ edit ] ": this is not a cry for selling tophosting.us.. just an example.. i have other domains to.. just.. tell me what to do [ / edit ]

All you can do is list them at several locations and hope for the best.
I have over 300 that I think are good---well, about 2/3 are
I have sold some here and there on forums but my one big sale this year was for 500.00 on sedo for one of my names that I would have thought might not sale----I probably would not have renewed it when it came around next year---just goes to show you never know.
There are so many out-----and the rite person has to find it

It's kind of like reverse fishing....somewhere there's a buyer's line in the water trying to catch the perfect name-fish. The problem is that there are millions of name-fish swimming around in this really big lake, pushing at this guy's money-bait, trying to get him to reel them in. In the meantime, you are swimming a few miles away where others are fishing for names not like yours. It's a big lake, and you have to find the right line. Go where the fishermen you want are fishing, and find a way to flash your fins above water...swim, little fishy, swim. (Sorry...couldn't help myself.)

Do you list your names for sale with prices, or just as "Make Offer"?

I'm much more likely to make an offer on a domain if the seller gives a starting price to negotiate from. (Others will tell you that the first rule of negotiation is to make the other party name a price first, but that assumes that you've already found someone to negotiate with.)

it has been favor for me to put "make offer"- one the buyer offerd 10 time higher than I had imagined I could sell it for.

so U are not cutting yourself from the start of negotiation but on the other hand You will lose some small sales becouse of make offer.if You put them low You will get more offers in qantity .

it depends which strategy You choose

Actually, its really whether the right buyers see your domain.

Its like fishing, mentioned above. There is no way you can speed it up.

The best you can do is pay to 'feature' your site on listings.

You can speed things up by contacting end-users directly by email. Companies/People may well be interested in your domains, they just might not know it exists or is available for sale.

Feature listings are expensive and certainly not for everyone

I don't have any data to back it up--only anecdotal evidence--but contacting end-users seems much more likely to give a return than paying for a featured listing.
