@H Malsawmtluanga Welcome to namepros!
Nice handregs! The hardest thing is always evaluation, how much is the name worth, decision about renewal or dropping. We all make mistakes - try to make as less as possible or better learn from mistakes other made.![]()
Hello everyone!
It has been 2 months since I entered the domain business. I joined Namepros on January 30th, 2018. I hesitate to call myself a 'domainer' at the moment because I haven't made any sales, and I am not in a hurry to do so.
I want to share my journey with everyone here on Namepros and ask for advice, appraisals and comments. I would also like to ask you to rank the domains in my portfolio in terms of value. For a newbie like myself, every bit of advice from experienced domainers is greatly helpful. If other newbies could learn from my mistakes, that would also be great.
The first name I hand-registered was a trademark violation. I wonder if any of you have done the same! At that point, I know absolutely nothing about domaining, and after reading a bit about TM violations on domain names, I deleted the domain, forgive myself and move on. Next domain I registered is for my personal use.
My entire portfolio and my reason for registering of each domain (in the order of registered date):
MoneyRaid .com - Hand-regged, combining a popular keyword with anything remotely related which was available to register.
EstateBeach .com - Same as the above with a particular niche in mind, and not knowing how the wrong order of keywords affects its value.
ViralDrugs .com - I feel this will have value in the pharmaceutical industry, with online pharmas becoming more mainstream.
BtcCounter .com - I decided to try and enter the crypto domain business, and look for keywords that makes sense. I feel this domain can be used as a trading counter for bitcoin, or a cryptocurrency blog, or a bitcoin trading statistics displayer site (or something like that)
RecoverVideos .com - Sensible keyword combination with good search volume, I have often find myself searching for ways to recover deleted files, so I feel it has some value.
OptimumBitcoin .com - Another crypto domain, I feel the keyword optimum goes well with bitcoin, and it conveys the sense that people will get the optimum/maximum value for their bitcoin investments.
FreeP*rns .org - * represents 'o'. Even though I am not very keen on adult names, I decided to purchase this domain since the keywords are quite good in my opinion. It also has a good exact search volume according to Estibot. My first (and only) dot org.
PrivateBrowsers .com - With online privacy becoming a global discussion, and browsers being our main interface with the online world, I feel this will have value. And I am also keen on tech/internet related domains.
Globalised .net - One word domain, and I feel the .net actually helps the domain (for globalised/mainstream internet presence), even though it may hurt its value. My first and only dot net.
There you have it, my entire portfolio. I have learned a lot in the last 2 months (mainly on Namepros), but I still have lots and lots to learn from you. And I look forward to doing so.
Any comments, appraisals, advice, criticisms, tips, etc. regarding my portfolio will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
I believe learning from experienced domainers, while still maintaining a healthy confidence in your abilities is very important. After all, nobody knows about your strengths and weaknesses more than yourself. Best of luck Anjani!You surely are a disciplined dreamer.
I started around same time and went on a rampage until better senses prevailed
Good Luck, I surely see you in the same mold as typical namepros warriors.
MoneyRaid and BTCCounter are strongest for me. The others I'd let drop after 1 year if no interest, these two I might commit to for longer.
I'd ask $3-5k from end user IF one comes about. Don't expect a sale but work on assembling a portfolio of names at same level or better and if you have a good group, then sales should happen.
WrongCheck with Marketing strategies if he would pay $1000 for both..Wholesale price...Iam sure he would not say no.
There you go...all this pep talk is for nothing..if you were to list your domains on Namepros...you would be lucky to receive $10 Bid..Try and prove me wrong!
Well, I would argue that the pep talk is quite encouraging, at least to me. Having a price in mind for a domain does not necessary mean wanting to purchase it.There you go...all this pep talk is for nothing..if you were to list your domains on Namepros...you would be lucky to receive $10 Bid..Try and prove me wrong!
