It's rare that domain investors tell it how it is. I write articles on the real deal. You're definitely right about the keyword domains. I picked up many resume, job, and education domains. Job, taxi and movie domains have produced the most sales. Another good tip is to offer a simlar domain to a past buyer. More than likely they may purchase additional domains. Resume and cover letter domains are good for clicks. Exact product .com and .net are good for clicks. However, many are not consistent enough to make the determination whether to keep or let them drop. What if the domain never produced a click, but then it does a week before expiration. It's a tough process to decide on renewing domains. Monitor the type of traffic. Sell domains in package deals to move your inventory. Thanks. Great article.

I bought such a ticket a few years ago called princewilliamandkate.com - and FINALLY they got engaged! Sometimes I'm astounded at 'out of the blue' offers for domains that I didn't consider that valuable. Who knew there was more than one definition for MILF? I'm a very small domainer, bought most of my domains years ago. Got to love this business.

Like this quality of posts. I agree totally. If everyone behaved realistically when selling domains, and not try to walk around thinking he got a rare jewel in his treasure portfolio, the market of domain names will get as serious as the Forex market; more people will hop in, and with time, it might just get as liquidable as well. More earthly standards = more trust = better market... Regards Chadi Ghaith Nice Post… Like this quality of posts.

We calculated the average to sell a CVCV.com like the ones listed at Catchy.com and for such price without any promotion, just holding and waitting a buyer is +25 years! It's here a single example that outline that more domains you own and more chances to sell. It's mathematical, most of the repetitive sales you see are from domainers having a huge portfolio, if you have +50,000 domains then sure, you get offers everyday. The only thing you can do if you just own a small portfolio is buy wisely names with a high demand, otherwise you are lost! Yes lottery tickets!

Each day, I personally send no fewer than 1,500 emails to end users. I market daily about 5-10 keyword domains. This consequently results in a large portion of end user sales being closed month-in, month-out. The more seeds you plant on a daily/weekly, the greater the harvest/rewards/ROI will inevitably be. Each distributed seed should be regarded as a single opportunity that could blossom and bear fruit in due time.
