This has enabled me to quit my daytime job and work comfortablly from home buying and selling keyword domains on a daily basis. Here is a small sample of a few domains for which I have found new owners and the prices paid: Ares.net - $21,500 Explosion.com & Explosion.net - $34,000 MDD.com - $20,000 Amatrice.com - $9,000 JumpGames.com - $1,850 GastronomieJobs.com - $5,000 ImmobilienPortal.com - $3,950 Institut.com - $5,500 GoFlights.com - $10,000 MobilityScooters.net - $1,500 BakeryEquipment.net - $1,400 Nikas.com - $2,000 When contacting end users by email, I have always used the same, simple approach that has reaped the best results: ——————————————————————————————————————— Dear Sir, I am contacting your company because I am selling the following domain name: http://www.BuyTargetedTraffic.com Please let me know if you would be interested in this domain. Best regards, BIGGS Luc-André 1802 Corseaux CH-Switzerland 0041 (0)78 827 42 30 (mobile) 0041 (0)21 922 40 45 (office) www.BuyTargetedTraffic.com ——————————————————————————————————————— You will notice there is no mention of any price tag, no exact number of search results, no explaining of WHY they need the domain name I am offering them. Just a plain and simple, yet highly effective no-nonsense approach that has generated countless sales over the past 18 months. The end user does not need to be showered with statistics or reasons as to why they need your domain or how they could benefit from owning it. The IT department at the company to which you are writing probably knows more about web development, SEO and keyword domains than you and I. The primary goal when establishing 1st contact with any end user, is simply to inform them that a particular domain is for sale and they can get back to you if interested. If the like the domain, they’ll reply back within 1-3 days with a “how much?” reply. Never forget to add your full contact details at the base of the email. This adds a considerable amount of weight and trust to your message. The above email template has never failed in generating a constant flow of “how much?” replies. Now this is where the fun begins. I’ll be shortly posting the highly effective reply I use to generate profitable sales from “how much?” emails from interested corporations. Comments: 6 Comments posted on "End users sales - 1st Contact" Greg Slaughterbeck on December 29th, 2009 at 3:05 pm # I have a quick questions for you. What do you use as the subject of the email? I have tested several subject lines and have not came to a conclusion as to the best subject line to use. Admin on December 29th, 2009 at 3:13 pm # Hi Greg, If I am selling the domain name CustomPaints.net then I will put “Custom Paints” in the subject box. I always put the domain name’s exact match keywords in the subject box – these, after all, are the most effective keywords (related to the business of the receiver) that will incite the reader of your message to READ/CLICK on the email rather than DELETING it - simply because the keywords in the subject (what the receiver sees BEFORE he DECIDES if he’ll read/delete your email) are directly related to what they sell/do. Josh Albert on December 29th, 2009 at 11:39 pm # Hey Luc, Thanks for the great post. Quick question…It would seem like that your template is generic enough that you could just quickly BCC all the email addresses in your email form and then just send them all out at once. Is this a tactic that you employ when sending out these emails? Admin on December 30th, 2009 at 5:13 pm # Hi Josh, Good question! Although it would be much fast and conveniant solution to simply BCC tons of end users in the same field, I email each company one at a time. This takes out the ’spam’ sensation and makes the email more personal. Shows that you have gone through the trouble to find their site/email and send out an individual email to that company. When you get your system into place, it’s very easy to send out 10 emails to 10 end users in under 10mins. I repeat this process at least 2-3 times a day until I start getting “how much?” emails. Jonathan Martin on December 31st, 2009 at 6:00 am # I really appreciate the great advice, and look forward to your post on replying to “how much?” emails as well. Global Biz on December 31st, 2009 at 2:41 pm # I assume your target list is different for each mailing? How do you determine your target list? Domains that are similar? Search Google for company names similar to the domain you are selling? Have they responded with TM infringement threats? Have you “cold call” the same company more than 3 times? 43 Likes 12 Shares |

Adapted too Pricing domains for end-users: a simple cheat-sheet Unsure of how to price domains for end-users? Well, after having overseen our 150th end-user sale since September in recent weeks, we have decided to put together a “cheat sheet” that domainers may safety rely on to decide how to price their domains when approaching end-user prospects. These are the sorts of figures you shoot out once you have e-mailed your initial pitch and your prospect has responded asking, “how much?” or “what’s your price?”. We have discovered that experienced domainers who deal with end-users regularly employ the below pricing structure, but we have yet to observe this price curve publicly disclosed until now. Below are the top criteria you should consider in pricing your domains. We list them here in descending order of importance: Annual revenue of the company you’re selling to; company size (both these statistics may be available on Manta.com or on the company’s website) Market capitalization and/or type of industry in which the company operates. Advertising firms and software companies are far more amenable to purchasing domains than, say, musicians and bar owners. Strength of the company’s web presence. Is their site professionally designed? Does a large portion of their revenue come from online sales? Breadth and depth of your domain’s end-user candidate pool: how generic is your domain name? How many potential candidates do the obvious outlets (Google / Yahoo! / Yellow Pages) highlight for that domain? Has any candidate already expressed interest in your domain? How badly would the company you’re pitching to want your domain? Is your domain a distinctly superior version of their own domain (Company.com vs. their current CompanyGroupLLC.net) or a core product they sell? If so, you have major advantage. Is the company advertising on your domain’s keywords, or very similar keywords? The company’s Alexa / Compete.com rankings. Does their site receive numerous new visitors on a regular basis, or do they only operate regionally and advertise primarily by word-of-mouth? Google search volume & PPC of your domain’s keywords. If a company you pitch to expresses interest in your domain, you can harness these Google figures to explain, in purely logical terms, why your domain name represents a lucrative investment. For example: “Expressions containing ‘diesel filters’ are Google-searched 118,800 times per year according to the Google AdWords Keyword Tool, and ‘diesel filters’ itself boasts a high PPC bid of $1.50. Whereas many advertisers are paying roughly this amount for their Google sponsored links, owning DieselFilters.com would secure you a permanent spot amongst Google’s top organic matches for the term. Even 500 hits to your landing page per year would effectively recoup you that $745 cost.” The company’s longevity, which you can frequently estimate using their Manta.com, whois info, or level of professionalism in their website’s design. Companies that have passed the test of time can more likely afford to purchase your domain than newcomers to the market who, in all likelihood, have yet to reach profitability. Level of professionalism / interest in the company representative’s reply to you. Their language and signature are often indicative of how serious they are about purchasing your domain and how large and entity you’re dealing with. Also consider the medium over which your prospect responded (e-mail vs. phone). SMBs and large corporations who inquire re: your domain over the phone may feel a strong sense of urgency about purchasing your domain. Miscellaneous properties of your domain name, such as: Number of TLDs taken, past usage (see archive.org), age, visitor traffic, etc. While many “smaller” end-users have no clue what these attributes mean, you should use them as chess pieces during negotiations with end-user prospects who understand terms like “search volume” and “PPC” — and yes, significant portion of business do . Whether the company owns many other domain names. If they do, it indicates they hold a keen interest in securing their brand and, in many cases, owning domain names corresponding to the product they sell (e.g. Toothpaste.com => Crest). If their are domains are similar to the one you’re offering — e.g. you own the .com version of a .net they own — more power to you. Generally speaking, you should price at: $50-$149 when selling to non or minimally revenue-driven entitles (blogs, academics, bands, artists, etc.) $150-$299 when selling to tiny businesses / nonprofits (1-2 employees, <$50K annual revenue) $300-$499 when selling to very small businesses (3-12 employees, $50K-$200K annual revenue) $500-$999 when selling to small startups / developing businesses (12-40 employees, $200K-$1M annual revenue) $1000-$1999 when selling to SMBs (40-150 employees, $1M-$25M annual revenue) $2000-$3499 when selling to large, well-established companies (>150 employees, >$25M annual revenue). Mid-high $X,Bleep (and possibly even $1X,Bleep in absolutely exceptional cases) when selling to an end-user prospect who represents a large enterprise (>1500 employees, >$1B annual revenue), you’re pitching a generic, premium domain (>2000 EXACT Google searches/month, >5/10 advertiser competition, and >$1.50 high CPC if a .com; >100,000 EXACT Google searches/month if a .net), AND either your prospect advertises heavily on your premium keywords or you have tangible prior evidence to suggest that your prospect’s core business surrounds your premium keywords. An example would be if you owned SprayPaints.com and your prospect was a multi-billion-dollar spray paint manufacturer with a splash page on SprayPaintsOnline.com. Domains plus prospects meeting all of these criteria are extremely rare and, to notch such a sale, you must take pains to approach the correct decision maker. But you still MUST consider all of the factors mentioned earlier in selecting your price within these suggested ranges. Again, these ranges apply only if you are approaching the end-user prospect. If it’s the other way around, ask your end-user to make the offer. If that figure doesn’t satisfy you, double the corresponding range in the above cheat-sheet and counter with the resulting amount. Another important tip: Choose a round, even-numbered price figure and subtract $5 from it. A $495 tag looks a bit less intimidating on paper than $500 does. Retailers use this trick everywhere you look. If you’re fortunate enough to own an exceptional product/service-related one-word .com such as Headphones.com or Paper.com, you definitely should not approach potential end-users offering it — not directly or with a “buy it now” price, anyway — unless you’re desperate for cash. Sales managers representing major industry players will eventually come to you and negotiate. This is how $XX,Bleep-$Bleep,Bleep flips happen.

I get a lot of messages in my inbox, people asking me my sales pitch.There's a misconception that the sales template/pitch letter is what makes the sale and that is very wrong! Here are a few tips starting from the most important: 1.Quality of domains.(if you are trying to sell crap nobody will reply, actually even if you have a decent name you may not get a reply right away....hint you have to hustle more) 2.DO NOT use mass mailing software, YES you need to send emails 1 at a time 3.Your initial pitch should be short and sweet as in 3-4max sentences and should include a PRICE always(the sweet spot is the $150-$700 range) 3.Use email tracking(mailtrack.io, bananatag etc) to pinpoint the "shy yet most likely interested" potential buyers; 4.Follow-up within 2-3 days if you get no replies the first day you sent out the email. You can followup by let's say dropping the price a bit, or get creative. You could simply say: "What can I do to make this work? Let's talk about it." 5.IF you still don't get a reply or sale DONT PANIC!(only 1-5ish domains will sell the first time), wait 20-30days and follow-up again with the people that opened your initial pitch let's say 2,3,4etc times(HINT email tracking! USE it! Don't be a caveman.) My followups go something like this: "I was thinking about you when I was going over some older opportunities specifically regarding XXXX.com domain name. What is stopping you? Pricing? or Do you happen to have unanswered questions regarding the domain transfer/purchase process? " What this does is a couple of things:1.You make it personal and you try to built rapport. 2.You make them feel important, and we all want to feel important right? SO I get a lot of replies...I like to think that I have it down to a science, and heck after 10 years of domaining I still learn, read, and improve my process every single day. If you walk away today after you read this post I want you to remember this: sending out countless emails/trying 100s of pitch letters WITHOUT developing a process, following up and hustling will NET you 0 sales in your outbound approach. So there you have it, that's my outbound approach and that's how I make 3-5 domain name sales every single week! Kindly DO NOT pm me and ask me 100s of questions as I will simply point you to this post again. I gave you ADAPTED FROM NAMEPRO 80 Likes 31 Shares |

Guy what do you think about these names Vetspay/king Nevadahairsalon/king Newjerseyfreight/king I scrape email from LinkedIn and outbound but no response ever. I have sent over 20 email on each, they just view it and not respond to me. Here is one of my sales letter Hello. I am reaching out to all hair salon businesses in Nevada to offer ONLY One an edge cutting advantage over others. A quick GOOGLE research of the keywords Nevada+Hair+Salon shows that the key word ranked no. 3 using google auto complete tool. This means that thousands of people are searching for it. Again, the keyword generates a wooping 15,600,000 results in 61 seconds. Take advantage of this opportunity and be on top of your competitors by buying the domain NevadaHairSalon/king You may redirect to an existing web page or build another on it, to remain on top.
