domain names buy and sell help

You jumped the gun. You (very likely) bought a product nobody needs, and now you are going to invest resources into setting up a shop nobody will visit.

Unless you are in the top 1% of domainers, this exercise is almost certainly doomed to fail.

My advice is to pick the single best domain and put it on flippa. If you get no interest, put it on ebay. If you still can't sell it, cut your losses and find something else to do.

If you do find a buyer, take the next best one and try again. Keep going until you figure out what works and what doesn't.

To put it another way, the reseller tools you use are not going to determine whether you succeed or not. The quality of your domains will. And if you are registering domains for the purpose of resale, the chances you will be able to find buyers for them are very slim.

You are joining this game 20 years too late.

Good summary Jack Gordon!

One thing to add: If these are domains that still get some traffic, measure it! It is something every buyer would like to know eventually

oh thanks for the quick suggestion here.
what i mean is to set up description page on flippa or any domain selling site, not my own shop.
i do understand that its a bit too late to join this domian games but i still thought there was a possibility.
so.. what is the best option.. should i develop them as a aurhority site one by one and keep it for a while untill it gets better...
or..
should i monotise it for adsense and keep it as a clean site woth content for real teaffic..?
what i dont know is ahould i just keep the domain as ot is or develop it aa a basic site...
english is not my first language so i do struggle when ot comes to serting up anything on site like flippa etc..
thanks.

Thanks.. The domain I got is 5 to 10 years old ... And Google axact search is good and ppc as well. That is why I was thinking to make it more valuable. Some of them are pr 1 to 3.
Anyway .. Thanks for your suggestion ...
Can I get some help on setting up flippa account... Description page for the selling domain.. Like what to include ... Any template.. Thanks

thanks mate... will try that one as well.

has anyone tried flippa... and can give me some templates ... in english.. thanks.

If you can't unload your domain on Flippa, develop your domains into actual blogs or sites

After you've gained some traction, sell them on Flippa

Forum development CAN be lucrative, for example, thanks to cheap posters who can populate your forum as well as pull traffic.

ohh... thanks for that.. one thing is clear now.. at least. i will start building this site as an authority site with targeted keywords like google friendly... and keep posting some unique content to keep it fresh.. hope that will keep the site ranking up to date and brings some visitor as well. thanks.

but, one thing... when selling a domain.. you are not selling the website or the content isnt it.. whats gonna happen next when you sell the domain... thanks.

If you can buy a domain name so can someone else buy it for few dollars why would they pay you more just you bought it and now want a profit why couldn't they do the same thing you did?

I think that's what people doing ... I'm not the only... Just trying to figure out what to do next... I thank u all who gave me nice advice...?

Sam,

Here's my advice as I've been in the domain biz for 16 years. Join NamePros & list your best name in the make an offer section for free. Have a good title & description. Offers will likely be low or non-existent at that domain forum but not necessarily. You gotta realize these are domain resellers who may have seen the names you purchased (I'm guessing you bought them at a GoDaddy auction?). Now I have bought names at domain forums or domain auction sites & resold them to others in the domain industry at a higher price so I won't say you can't resell at a higher price among resellers. If you get some type of offers at NamePros than "maybe" spend money listing at Flippa but quite honestly their bidding levels suck as well. I've chosen to not spend money there any longer.

List your names free at Sedo & Afternic (GoDaddy auctions as well "maybe" - year membership is $4.95). I wish Freemarket.com would become popular & generate sales but it isn't happening for now. Flippa also does have a free domain classified listing section.

Now ask yourself this question as well as you bought 30 names. Could you have gotten more value by buying only 1 better quality name in the domain aftermarket? By the way renewing 1 domain name per year is a lot cheaper then renewing 30. Domains can be assets or liabilities depending on domain quality.

You aren't 20 years too late though it's true the best names were registered long ago. You still can make money in the domain biz buying names from others, winning domain name drops or though I'm not a fan of them... some are reselling some of the gTLDs (.club, .top, ..xyz, science, etc.... ). I haven't bothered with the new gTLDs though I think .club has promise. Visit https://namebio.com/ & see what actually is selling. DNJournal.com/domainsales.htm also gives weekly updates on top "reported" sales for the week.

IMO stick with .com & "high quality" .net, .org & .info (I've bought/sold .biz &.us as well myself)

Over the years I have sold over 1000 names ranging from $XX to $XX,XXX prices (even have turned down $XXX,XXX offers on 1 name). I also have let about 300-400 names expire - names I shouldn't have registered in the 1st place... I wasted money. Lesson - don't register crappy domain names.

If you have a truly STRONG product category name then you can contact businesses in that niche directly (or they may even contact you). Example - CustomSign.com I used to own - a very good name. iCustomizerSigns.com - a very bad name. Domain brokers also will list stronger value domain names.

The domain biz is not easy & I sell only a handful of names per year now with larger $XX,XXX sales every 2-3 years (I'm down to about 225 names that I own at the moment). Don't spend anymore money until you are well-educated on what is actually being sold. Building sites on the names is a smart route to go.
