1) What are the annual renewals of your portfolio?
2) What were sales of your new TLDs over the last year? Assume the same for the near term.
3) How much cash do you have available to continue funding the deficit (very few new TLD domain portfolios are cash flow positive)?
i.e. hypothetical example....
$5000 in annual renewals
$0 in sales last year (or whatever your experience rate)
$10,000 in available cash
At current trends, your portfolio will go bust in two years probably long before end users start acquiring them at a rate which allows you to fund renewals. Keep in mind the competition for buyers is only going to increase as more new TLDs are released.
SEDO sales (excludes Godaddy which is primary sales channel and private / other sales)...
2009 7 domains sold
2010 16 domains sold
2011 8 domains sold
2012 6 domains sold
2013 3 domains sold
2014 only 1 domain
2015 zero domains sold thus far
See the trend when one would think my sales would increase with experience.... Buyers willing to pay for domain names are harder to find as a common response I get when marketing a domain is "we already have a domain..." even though I believe mine is much better. Even the occasional price inquiry is met with either no response or a response which implies little willingness to part real money for a domain name.
I hold ZERO new TLDs
