Domain Selling Secrets Part 3... IF you have no clue what I am talking about then you are probably not the only one. When I share this secret about selling anything with others I sometimes get a completely blank face staring back at me at this point. So, you are not ALONE. But I need to explain all of this to you better before I lose my sanity in the chaotic world of words that currently exists in my mind. I carried out a study on 3 of the greatest Cricket players to play for India. And, my study aimed at finding out what made these 3 cricketers better than anyone else in the country. This extensive research process was carried out by not actually meeting them but via their biographies and their matches. And, the surprising similarity between these 3 cricketers on one particular parameter helped them become national heroes. These 3 cricketers were similar in body frame to other cricketers in the country. Their talent was the same as almost every other professional cricketer out there. But, when it came to their training schedule then that is when they stood out from the crowd. They had a "rigorous" discipline when it came to their cricket training schedule. They hadn't missed a training session unless they were injured. Even during their childhood days these 3 would show up at practice even when it was pouring cats and dogs. They would be practicing or playing Cricket every single day of the week for 3 to 4 hours each day on every single day of the year almost. Another unique characteristic about their younger days was that all 3 of them grew up playing "galli" cricket. Galli cricket is when you play cricket not on a traditional cricket ground but in a narrow lane on which you have houses on both sides of the street. This narrow lane is called a "galli" and hence the name Galli Cricket. In Galli Cricket, the cricketers playing cricket actually play a lot more Cricket in a lot lesser time. When you play Galli Cricket for 1 hour you have actually played 2 hours of Cricket on a traditional Cricketing ground. Which means that as a batsman you hit the ball a lot more times in Galli Cricket as compared to Traditional Cricket. And, as a bowler you bowl the ball a lot more time too. So, you actually get double the practice in Galli Cricket then in Traditional Cricket. When these 3 Cricketers played in their "gallis" for 3 hours then they are actually playing 6 hours of cricket on a cricket ground. Therefore, they had double the hours of practice of almost everyone else out there who wasn't playing in their Gallis. How does this happen? It happens since the galli is realistically 1/20th the size of a cricket ground. Also, there is less fielding to be done since the entire game is played in a straight line rather than a huge circle. Which means that the ball does not bounce too far, and less fielders are required. Once can even play Galli Cricket with just 2 players. Surpised? 1 player can bat and 1 needs to bowl since all you need is a rectangular space of 20 odd meters. The bowler doubles up as the fielder saving crucial time spent on fielding and throwing back the bowl to the bowler or keeper. Thus a cricketer playing in a galli can bat and bowl at double the speed of the traditionally sized cricket ground. Coming back to domain selling now.... When we sell domains you and I must have the same discipline in us as WATER. We must keep selling domains no matter what. And we must be flexible enough to sell the domains as per the market conditions. One cannot expect to sell domains at $2000 on a regular basis in 2012 and 2013. Not unless you own terrific domain names worth 10 times that amount. We must also keep buying domains too. Since buying and selling actually go hand in hand. At the same time, we must sell domains by using the power of force. Which means we must sell our domains in great numbers. Remember, at the start of this post I mentioned that less than 2% of the domains listed for sale sell in any given month. To stand the greatest chance of being in that 2 percent one must list as many domains for sale as humanely possible. Since, out of every 100 domains you list only 2 domains will sell. But, at the same time, one must also invest a few hours each week on the domaining world no matter what the season. This is apart from your vacation time and weekends of course. I would never advocate you or myself to work while on vacation, daydreaming or on weekends. Also, by simply investing in 1 more computer (exclusively for domaining) you actually can work much faster in much lesser time. I shave off another 10 minutes in each hour of work by working on 2 computer screens at the same time. What I also do is that I have a homepage designed where I have the links to 300 of the websites or pages I visit most often. I have a few more "linked" homepages with links to all my websites as well as other resources that did not fit on a single screen on my main homepage. This way, I save a good 5 minutes for every 60 minutes of work on the computer. Since, most of the efforts (and time) spent in the domain business actually go on typing stuff and waiting for pages to load. I also have created a schedule where I spend no more than 2 (sometimes 3) hours a day and no more than 10 hours each week on my domain business. That way, there is a crucial balance maintained between this business and the other areas of my life. And, there is absolutely no wastage of time when I'm working since most of my work is planned out in advance. You can read more about the need for "FOCUS" and my time management system titled "Time Management 18" to learn more about this. Anyway, to summarize the first in a few posts on my "blockbuster domain selling secrets" I would say.... - Be like water when it comes to selling your domains. Be disciplined. - Find out ways to perform your routine tasks at twice the speed. See timemanagement18.com - Plan your schedule for the week in advance and stick to this plan no matter what. - Leave enough room to have fun and enjoy each day of your life. - Remember that a little progress each day adds up to huge results. See kyotobamboo.com Also.... - Keep listing your domains for sale in great numbers. - Remember only 2% of your names will sell each month. - So, in order to sell 20 domains in a month you will need to list around 1000 domains for sale. - Enjoy your work and most importantly enjoy your life. - If you don't have a passion for selling then this business is not for you. - The more you keep doing the above, the more powerful your selling skills become. - So, you start selling more and more of your domains in lesser time than most ordinary people do. Being a "water" domainer means all of the above listed bullet points. This concludes my post on "Domain Selling Secrets". Thank you for your time invested in reading this post of mine.
