Dear friends,
I have just begun the business of domains and I have just bought affairsbroker.com. The problem is how to sell it. I have no experience and I would like to request your help.
Thanks in advance

    First off, remove the domain link. Second off, there are a lot of guides on how to sell domains you've bought, which is called domain flipping. Google for some guides or check out "flippa" which I think is a pretty accepted site that does most of the work for you.

    Domains really are not worth what people think.

    Why would I pay you $20 affairsbroker.com when I can buy affairbroker.com on my own for $10?

    Domains are only worth something if they are aged, have backlinks/traffic, or they are short/creative domains. Your domain is none of those things.

    Sorry dude.

      I agree, to sell a domain, get some content on it, give t some time, build backlinks and get traffic, try to make a business with it: sell products, add affiliates product, adsense ... to sell a website you need to give value,why would anyone buy a website from you if it has non.

    Good lord.

    Put your wallet away, and don't take it out again until you have a clue about how to buy domains worth selling.

    Would you start buying pallets of junk food before researching how to run a convenience store?

    Would you sign the lease on a manufacturing plant before deciding what you are going to be building?

    Would you buy an apartment building before learning how to be a landlord?

    I can all but guarantee you that your initial investment is wasted. Nobody is going to buy that from you. For anything.

    There are a thousand threads here on domaining that you can search for. There are even some courses in the WSO section, if you feel like throwing money at this (obviously, you do).

    Just don't buy any more domains for a long while, until you have a plan.

    What is an "affairs broker"? Why did you select that domain to buy?

      Here's what I'm wondering today:

      Is ther a WSO or similar teaching people "how to become a domain broker and make money today"....

      Multiple threads in the past couple weeks about how to sell this domain or that domain.

      Checking on some - I find they were recently registered so apparently bought "to sell" by people without a clue.

      But I wonder if the "selling method" is to post about the domain in the main section of the WF - and hope someone PMs you about buying it. That way you get to "advertise your for sale domain" without paying for an ad?

      It's crazy.

    Thanks for your advance. Most of the time I use the Flippa to sell my Domain. Beside the flippa, you can use the digitalpoint. In the digital point there is "Marketplace". there you will found "Domain". You will also found there are many add to sell domain. The Flippa is in the top level. You can use any site, as you wish.

    The best course I've seen on domain flipping is Gene Pemintel's MasterDomaining. It's really, really good.

    Also, check out his posts here - they're valuable, too.

      You can't just sell a new domain without content, backlinks etc. There are a lot of courses on selling domains just do a search on google or you can find a course here on WF about domain selling.
