Best Way to Quickly Sell Domain Portfolio?

by feistycactus

Hey Warriors,

I've got a nifty little niche domain portfolio here, with 15 newish (non-aged) domains, exact matches for searches getting between 40,000 and 3,500,000 per month. Terms vary - legal, flights, and a few other niches. Keyword CPC is between $1 - $48 per click on these.

Here is the thing - I want to sell the portfolio to someone. Any suggestions on quickest way to find a buyer at a decent price? I can't figure out if I can just offer it in a thread here perhaps (which is why I didn't list the domain names .

Any advice would be welcomed!

    I don't believe you can sell things in this section but you can use the WarriorForum Classified Ads: Warrior Forum Classified Ads

    Depending on your registrar you can auction off the domain names there. Also, if you just do a quick Google search you can find plenty of other sites where you can sell your domains.

    The best way, not necessarily the fastest, is to develop the domain names.

    Just create a a small web site for each of the domains.

    On each one you put one long article (1,000 words) and a couple smaller ones with 300 to 600 words.

    Does not have to be fancy.

    Make sure that the on page SEO is good and then build a handful of good backlinks to each domain (if needed).

    Within a couple weeks they should rank on the first page of Google.

    Investment:
    Domains: $10
    Blog set up: $10
    Hosting for 6 month 6 x$10 = $60
    Writing: big articles ($0.01/word) = $10
    5 small articles 300 words 5 x $3 = $15
    -------------------------------------------------
    subtotal = $105

    Now, lets say you would list on Flippa: $19 listing fee.

    If you get these pages on the first page you can easily get $500 a pop for it.

    So, 1 sites would cost $124. Lets make it $150 and you have a little room in case you need to do a little SEO or backlinks (often times they rank just on their own).

    So, you spend $150 and make back $500. That is $350 profit per site.

    Take that times 15 and you have made a nice $5,250. Yes, I admit that it will not make you rich over night but if you keep doing it you can build a nice extra income and even create a long term business from it.

      I MOSTLY agree with this (and it's exactly what we do with our mini-niche sites when we go to sell them on Flippa) but there are situations where this might not be a great idea.

      I think it sort-of depends on the true value of the domains the OP has. He said he has EXACT match domains targeting 40K - 3.5M EXACT match searches per month and in EXTREMELY lucrative niches. (legal, flights, etc.)

      If he's talking about domains like "bankruptcyattorneys.net" or "discountflights.org" I think he may be doing himself a disservice by selling them off as mini-niche sites. If he did build them up and got them up and earning through AdSense or something...he's pointing out the benefit of the earnings on a site that could be SO much more...I think he'd be selling himself short. It does depend on how great those domains are, though...in many instances, I'd agree with you.

        Hi, one first tryout is to build up a little web page with a list of all domains with a price, to advertise them with free methods.
        If you build a quality page, you can talk with high quality flippers on Flippa and ask for a selling deal (they sell it for good prices, then you make 50/50).

        For my opinion, and I'm on blog flipping since half 2009, it's fundamental to build a blog, just a fast one with 4 top plugins.
        Outsourcing cheap articles it's another key point, and doing some internal SEO on the blog is the other good factor.
        Order some quality blog commenting and you will save a lot.

        Consider I build a blog paying just domain name and nothing other, and I sell them for good prices, from $297 upwards depending on domain value.
        The thing works well, and they got first page of Google without external SEO. With a few experience you could come at this solution, after you check around.

        Thanks and see you soon,
        Alessandro Zamboni

    Depends on the portfolio.

    This guy is the resident "domain expert" IMO:
