Mowyo:Every one-word and two-word category killer domain names, that I can term 'great,' were taken before the year 2000. If you find a category killer domain name registered after 2000, it is either that (a) the technology that made that name great was developed post-2000 or (b) the domain dropped and someone else bought it on a drop auction. A good example of (a) is Bitcoins dot com while that of (b) is EventManagement dot com. What many people, like myself, do is what I call the 'Hit or Miss' approach to domain names. I know that I can not afford great domain names and I'm not looking for one. What I'm looking for is a domain name, even if not great, that will be useful to someone enough that they will shell out their hard-earned dollars to pay for it. I 'hit' it sometimes and I 'miss' it many times. I just have to make sure that the dollars from my 'hits' cover the 'misses' and still have a leftover. To the best of my knowledge, there are two ways to getting great domain names: 1. Go to the aftermarket or drop auctions. Some great domain names drop once in a while and domainers will have the chance to bid on it and compete with others to have the name. Please know that great domain names don't come cheap. Be ready to shell out $XXXXX. 2. Handregging 'future trend' domains Every great domain was first registered by someone at a point. Technologies are getting developed everyday and domainers who have the ability to predict what technology will be in popular use in the future are always handsomely compensated with $XXXXX for their foresight. A good example is 3DPrintedShoes dot com. The domain was hand-registered in 2013 and sold this year for $7500. This is what the ability to buy names before the term gets popular usage can do. Another alternative to handregging future trend domains is to buy 'future trend' domains from the aftermarket. When people handreg future trend domains, some may be willing to sell it for some profit to someone who can wait even longer for the term to get popular usage. From (1) and (2), I think (2) is more worthwhile for me and other domainers who don't have a deep purse. Now, that's my opinion. 4 Likes |

2sExy1: That is not how it works. You have to sell. To sell, you need exposure. And for the right exposure, you need someone that knows. One should never underestimate the services of a good/professional salesman. Salesmen are the ones who keep the executives in the office paid. |

Re: Domain Name Business; The Easiest & The Most Profitable Online Venture by oladayo042: 2:54pm On Oct 13, 2014 |
coolscott:You are right by saying that 'to sell, you need exposure'. However, domain names are virtual goods and the marketing rule for physical goods may not directly apply to virtual goods. Exposure for domains means being on a marketplace (Sedo, Afternic, etc) where buyers can find you and not necessarily pitching your domains to buyers. I'm sure you must have heard that 'a good product sells itself'. If you have to pitch your domains to buyers, your domain must be better than the domain that buyer is currently using. I have checked out some of your domains and unfortunately, they are no where near being 'great' like you said earlier on the thread. Do not get me wrong. I am not saying you can not sell these domains. If you want to continue in this business, you'll have to do a lot of reading. Since you've said you have no time, domaining may not be for you afterall. I can see you are doing well as a forex trader. Different strokes for different folks. 2 Likes |

2sExy1:Now, this is what I've been praying that 2sexy starts doing: sharing information. Thank you God for answering my prayers. :-D You have quite a handful of future trend domains. I like Drone Corporation. In fact, I love it. It can even be used without any relation to drones. I don't have any drone names as I feel that all the good ones are taken. I have 3D Printed Bedsheets, though. Plenty of Alibaba sellers selling it already. Think about a picture of you and your wife on your wedding day printed on your bedsheet with a 3d printer. Trust me, you won't cheat with someone else on that bed. I think this will get popular with time. |

Shuayb0:Please edit your post and remove your email. I am just a newbie like you. While I like to help others, I also believe in sharing information. So if your questions are not private in nature, you should consider asking it here on this thread. Please do a lot of reading by yourself and I'll be glad to clarify issues when you need me to. I have replied your pm since morning and you should have my email by now. |

oladayo042:Lol. All the ones I shared at the beginning nko? Don't blame me... It's my nature to often change based on the atmosphere of my environment, when not friendly. Well. Drone Corporation is my best and it covers many areas from production to service/repair et al. I missed Drone Feed and my buddy picked it up a few hours before I noticed it and just last month someone was willing to pay him as much as 2k. I and a few other NP er had to tell him to wait if he does not need the $ and everyone of us are waiting for FAA regulations to remove the ban on Commercial drone, for which there seem to be a possibility with gradual approvals here and there. Hollywood has just been approved to use drone for movies. If I can sell only 1 name in this niche, I am okay. 1 sold in wearable... Not much impressive a lot of Hemp sold but never reported here or nampros and now Drone... Hopefully, I will extend a few by 2 years. The good thing is that the sales stats are there and building up gradually. Hence a good reason to join the train. But one might just be late already. What I have learned is that if there as much as 10 sale in stats for a trend name/niche, you could take a bite. For newbies, I wont advice you take this route cos you may not be able to wait. target small niches where you can exchange 200-500. Also greed could cost you dearly. I remember telling a friend to sell at 800 his 3d printed domain. He haggled on and buyer wanted to pay 2k... He haggled again and buyer bolted out and took the .net instead. He was blinded by the 3d printed shoes sale I guess. Just know when to draw the line. 1 Like |
