It really doesn’t feel like it’s been a full decade of selling domain names, and yet I sold my first domain in early 2000 for low four figures.
In those days, the market was still raw, GoDaddy was the new up-and-coming force and Frank Schilling was still in Canada building homes and planning his life-changing move to the Caymans and domaining.
Things have changed since then; domainers nowadays have an astounding amount of resources to tap into. There are domain forums, networking groups, domain conferences and newsletters, blogs and publications.
Having completed yet another domain sale to be published in DNJournal tomorrow, I marvel at the way some domainers promote their domains and how they evaluate their virtual property.
When attempting to maximize your domain sales, make sure that you don’t leave money on the table. Research your investment and when an offer comes along, there is a single strategy that will boost both your confidence and your bank account.
That’s “the power of no” – something that Rick Schwartz has applied time and again to every domain offer that didn’t make the cut.
When evaluating a domain name for sale, you will soon learn how to accurately gauge its potential. Then you will exercise patience until that offer comes along; in the meantime, you will be able to turn down every suitor that doesn’t make the cut.
Rick’s blog is a great resource of aggressively dished information about domain selling strategies. Visit it often and read it as if it were your favorite Sports Almanac.
