Where you get sales from ???

[ddesigns]

Hi,

Just curious to know that where you get max sales from, I mean from Sedo (Or other parking site) or by creating a minisite / blog on desired domain or by contacting end users ???

Pls share your experience as it will be really useful for other...

Thanks in advance...

Most of my sales have been from the buyer seeing the domains parked.

Say, would anyone be interested in pooling resources to contact end users? What I mean is, many of you are doing a lot of work to find buyers, but others may have the same kind of domains, like finance, jobs, health, etc. I thought it might make sense if everyone could sell their own domains, but also the domains of others. You may sell more domains that way. Even if you just get a percentage of a domain owned by someone else, it would be better than nothing. And others can be selling your domains as well.

A majority of my sales come from parked page "make an offer" links as well as direct end-user emails. I don't typically approach end-users and offer only a small portion of my domains to other resellers.

Nice idea.. Sounds like domain broking on Small scale is it ??? or we can say its domain barter ???

most of my sales have come from my own sales sites and parked page inquiries, only domains I have really ever pushed at forums are domainer domains, get a few sales from sedo here and there and 1 from moniker before they integrated with snapnames, I have gotten certified offers from network solutions and godaddy as well but nothing closed yet from those, I agree that buying end user type domains makes it easier as you don't have to go looking for buyers as offers come in more frequently on their own if the quality is there.

Direct mail from End-user... great. It reduces the main pain of finding buyers...

Thanks spade for your inputs...

Thanks spare for your inputs.. From most of the answers i can say that best way is to sell them via parked pages....

I redirect the for sale links on the parked pages on domains I wish to sell to my own domain sales site so it creates instant deep links to my site and increases traffic. Maybe not as quick of sales as if I just used sedo who already has an audience but it has worked for me over the last 8 years and has given me end user leads which can sometimes turn into future repeat sales. On my best domains I use a contact us link on the parked page and on the dead on keyword product domains I create stores powered by shopping.com from smartname but I don't use "for sale" or redirect them to my site as I am not motivated to sell those so no sense showing my best domains publicly on the site.

any more thoughts from xperts pls...

If you think you can register a few domains and hit a home run, you have entered the wrong market, there are many extensions, many variations, and many sellers out there offering domains, this is not a fly by night business, and many times when you do lock a sale, the buyer gets cold feet or does not pay, happens from time to time... This is not a business you can survive off you need to have deep pockets to acquire good names, good skills to sell domains, you can read many of the stories on this site, takes years to figure out good names, sometimes you could have the best domain, but you might not have a buyer for years, you have to be ready to sit and wait on dead money, this is a serious business.
