Selling Domains?

No, I haven't personally..

However, I attended a seminar, where one guy was buying domains and selling them on ebay

He said:

It's about quanity (Buy lots of good domains for cheap)
Create good auctions

I was making a KILLING selling domains back in the day. I used to charge $300 per domain sold. I had like 60 domains in the timeline of 2 years and each domain sold for $300+. So I made around $18k selling domains.

That's perhaps why your reply contributes nothing helpful to the thread, and is completely misguided. Still, it got your signature-file on the board yet again, didn't it?

Nonsense. That's awful advice. All three sentences are misguided. You don't seem to know what you're talking about at all.

It's emphatically not about quantity, or "auctions".

Buy only domain-names that you already know you'll be able to find a potential buyer-pool for.

Don't imagine that it's about "buying good domains and just listing them for sale in the right places". That's deluded.

Yes; several of us here do this.

It's my "second business", not my main one, but I've been doing it for over 5 years, now, and have one full-time employee doing it with me, and I continue to do it. I've bought and sold a few hundred domain-names over the years.

It's not about "where you sell them". That doesn't matter at all.

What matters is your skill-set at identifying, approaching and negotiating with people to whom the name may have added value because of the nature of their own businesses. If those people don't know that they're for sale, it will make no difference where you sell them.

It's a highly skilled and tricky business with quite a big learning-curve.

Be aware that it's a long learning-curve, and that's far from trivial to answer.

Be very careful with Warrior Forum "information" about selling domain-names. As you can see from one of the posts above, some of the people who post here on this subject have very little idea of what they're talking about, at all. (In some threads, some of them even seem barely aware that "domaining" is a totally different business model from selling websites! ). The people here who know what they're talking about, whose posts are worth seeking, following and learning from, on this subject, include Gene Pimentel, Suzanne Bucciarelli, Steve Browne and Tom Addams.

Gene now promotes Master Domaining | Daily Training on How to Master Domaining, by Expert Gene Pimentel, which is a monthly membership website where you get daily domain flipping tips. Highly recommended.

Good luck!

I'm getting over 100 visitors a day to my domains for sale website. I've got a custom site dedicated to selling domain names and I post and follow discussions on Linkedin. If you have something you want to sell, there is a buyer out there. You just need to be willing to bargain. I sold LVGold.com this week for $300. I had it listed for $750.

I sell domains and yes it an be a good business if you have strong capital for good names. Other names will sell as well but yo got to put in work.

I'm getting PMs about how I'm making money selling domains so I'll post it here.

What I basically do is look for a YouTube channel which is getting bigger. I look to see whether they are getting popular, increasing views, subscribers etc and once I feel they will be successful, I purchase a domain name with their YouTube name so something like "YouTube Username" dot com and other alternatives.

I then approach them when they are more successful and tell them the benefits of having their own site and creating a brand where they can promote their own merchandise and goods. After they agree, I receive a payment of $300 to send the domain to them. Easy cash.

Do take in consideration that not all people buy domains so you'll probably have tens that don't sell at all. It doesn't matter though as the ones that do buy the domains pay a high cost to receive them.

You can buy the domains and set them up on domain parking to earn because of the natural organic traffic(while waiting for a buyer)

How is it related to the ops question?

I never had try this so far. But Have heard that many people get scammed in selling their domains, especially if you are completely newbie in this field.

Domaining is an extremely simple business - after all, you're simply buying low and selling high.

BUT - it's a very complicated business as well, if you want to make a consistent income and substantial living from it. There are a lot of techniques and methods used that take time to master. There is a long learning curve to get it right.

The upside? It's an amazing business to be in. I'm as enthuiastic about it today as I was when I started over a decade ago.

i have bought more than 500 domains till now.. and never sold one. When i am having MONEY.. and i am drunk.. i buy domains.. Most expensive one ( high 4 figure) was a .com of a bank in Japan.. they still use .co.jp ...

hopefully they will buy for high five figure and i will get all my money back.
