I've just brought myself a domain that I hope to sell. This is the first time I've tried such a thing, so any tips for a newbie domainer? I suggest you keep your eyes peeled for a bargain, I'll be posting in the BST forum pretty soon and I don't really know what I'm doing
Provide all the stats with the sale. OVT / WT scores: http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/suggestion/ Google results: type "domain name" and see how many times it appear Any pagerank, traffic, etc Good luck.
You definetly should do a multi forum selling to get more buyers. if you want a few webmaster forums with selling forums here's a list. sitepoint.com clantemplates.com talkfreelance.com sitemarketplace.com wdtalk.com digitalpoint.com namepros.com greenearners.com sitemf.com and there's a few others but i cant remember right now, the more buyers you have the better price you will get.
It all depends on the domain name. Short domain names tend to be popular with some. Domain names which are single dictonary word are valuable. Domain name with traffic and with PR would be more valuable. Domain name with all the above and history (ie a few years old) would command more. Domain names which makes money will be even more valuable.
yes one word domains are good, check the domain section of the BuySellTrade forum for a great deal i have right now.
Thank you all for your input. You can take a look at my first auction if anyone is interested. It is a relatively short (6 letter) pronounceable .COM which I am hopeful will do pretty well. What do you think for my first attempt? Thanks
For a first attempt it's good Try next time try not to choose 3 consonants together it's not so pronounceable (zourst.com ?)
You pronounce "ou" as "e" ? Even if this is true i imagine the happiness of the zerst.com domain when he will get the type-in surfers of zourst.com When a domain doesn't have a clear pronunciation and doesn't refer to an english word or something common, lowers his value
What's your budget, and what are your aims? This is what one needs to know to give you a wise suggestion
At the moment by budget is fairly low, hence why I simply registered a domain and I am now selling it off My aims? The obvious one, make a bit of cash. I have my fingers in a lot of pies and this is just another pie I'm looking at!
Most of the .com's are registered. The good ones years before so for serious cash i don't think a name with good pronunciation will do Buying from bargain offers has more % than registering from scratch Maybe you get $2-100 but this is pie it requires all your finger and even better if you had 12 fingers (because you need to keep your 2 fingers crossed to find the suitable end buyer) :|
Low budget means $10, $100, $1000 or $10000 ? The aims you can reach are strongly dependent to this. Noone can make $1m from a $10 investment and this is a common mistake for who starts domaining
I agree with falco Your budget to this industry is very crucial Good names worth enough $$$$ and you can't find them free for $8 registration However there are plenty with few dollars profit
