erjo:
More sales to us all 🙏

congratulations erjo.

Hi guys, please can someone point me to a comprehensive guide on how to start domain flipping? I have been reading pages, and the info just scatters everywhere. Any particular pages to read, please?

Oshiofe:
after chatting with the wix customer service they gave me a solution on how to go about it at afternic. I used the instructions at Spaceship sellerhub.It worked because my domain doesn't show wix lander anymore, also on my Spaceship dashboard it was conected and listed successfully. the problem is that it still doesn't show up the Spaceship lander. what it displays is " this site can't provide a secured connection" when visited. You can have a look by yourself (DelawareTruckSales//com). Although I haven't tried it on afternic.See the instructions below.

But bro if the domain sales its still has to wait for 60day lock to transfer

This isn't exhaustive (domaining is ever-evolving).

This is an overview of domain flipping and investing.

This is STRICTLY for beginners. As you gain experience, you can evolve.


Step 1: Know What to Buy

(Beginner advice) Do not buy random words or your own invented brand names. If you are starting out, you need to buy names that already have obvious buyers.

Stick to the Geo-Service Model.
Format: `[City or State] + [Service].com`

* Good: MiamiPlumbers.com, TexasLandscaping.com, DenverRoofing.com
* Bad: SuperFastPlumbers4U.com (Too long, has alphanumeric pattern)

The Radio Test: If you say the name out loud on the radio, will people know exactly how to spell it? If yes, it’s a good name. Avoid hyphens, numbers, and easily misspelled words. Always stick to `.com` when starting out.

Step 2: Research the Name

Before you spend a dime, verify that the name actually has value or useable potential on the internet.

1. Check DotDB.com: Type your keyword in here. It tells you how many other extensions (like .net, .org, .co) are registered for that exact name. If a name is registered in 10 other extensions, the .com is highly valuable.
2. Check ExpiredDomains.net: This is a search engine for domains that previous owners forgot to renew. You can find older names here that already have some history.

Step 3: Register the Domain for Cheap

Never overpay for a registration. A standard `.com` should cost you around $10 or less for the first year.

Go to Tldes.com. This is a comparison tool that shows you which registrar currently has the lowest price for the extension you want.
Once you find the cheapest price, create an account and buy the domain. Popular, reliable registrars include Spaceship, Namecheap, and Dynadot.

Step 4: Set Up Your Storefront (Sales Lander)

When someone types your new domain into their browser, they shouldn't see a blank page. They should see a professional "This Domain is For Sale" page.

1. Create a free seller account on platforms like Afternic, Sedo, or Atom.
2. Add your domain to your account.
3. Change your domain's "Nameservers" at your registrar to point to the marketplace. (The marketplace will give you the exact nameservers to copy and paste).
4. Now, anyone who visits the domain can buy it directly from that page.

Step 5: Hunt Down the Buyer (Outbound Marketing)

You can wait for buyers to come to you, but if you want to make money fast, you have to go to them.

If you own AtlantaPaving.com, go to Google and search for paving companies in Atlanta. Look for businesses using terrible, long domain names (like: JimsPavingAndSonsAtlanta.net). These are examples of your targets.

Find the boss: Never email `info@` or `support@`. Go to LinkedIn or use a tool like Hunter.io to find the email address of the CEO, Owner, or Marketing Director.

Step 6: Send a Simple Pitch

Business owners are busy. Do not send them a long essay. Make it short, punchy, and clear.

Subject line: Atlanta Paving

(Sample body text)

Hi [Name],
I noticed you operate in the Atlanta paving space. I currently own AtlantaPaving.com and I'm looking to sell it.
I'm reaching out to a few local firms before listing it publicly. Let me know if acquiring this asset is something you'd be open to discussing.
Best,
[Your Name]

Step 7: Price It Right

You bought it for $10. Don't ask for $10,000. (this advice is for beginners).

For quick outbound flips, price your domains between $299 and $999. Why? Because this amount is low enough for a business owner to put on a company credit card without needing to call a board meeting. It makes it an easy impulse buy.

As much as you can, try to let the buyer make the first offer if possible, or price it 20% higher than your actual goal so you have room to negotiate.

Step 8: Close the Deal Safely

It is unsafe to send a domain to a buyer before you get paid.

When a buyer agrees on a price, create a "Buy It Now" link using Afternic, Atom, or Sedo. Send this link to the buyer. The platform will handle the secure checkout, take their small commission, and ensure you get paid safely.

Important Note: The 60-Day Lock
When you register a new domain, ICANN (the internet's governing body) locks it for 60 days. It cannot be transferred to a different registrar during this time.

If you sell a domain within its first 60 days, you must do a "Push."
Simply tell the buyer to create a free account at your current registrar (for example, Spaceship). You can then "push" the domain from your Spaceship account directly into their Spaceship account. This happens instantly and completely bypasses the 60-day lock.

A detailed guide you have here, chief. Well done!

However, I won't really say people shouldn't send emails to "info" and "support" email addresses. Those are all you have in some cases, even after doing your best to find those for specific individuals. Some owners even provide such generic email addresses as their own.

I'd send emails to such addresses in cases like that. Just that I might not follow up at all or more than once for "support" email addresses.

Yes, messages sent to a company's relevant decision-makers are the best!

If I may ask, what is the intention with the email template by including "before listing it publicly" after already setting up a sales landing page?

This is profound. Thank you for sharing with newbies like us. I have a few questions to ask
1. Can one actually sell a domain within a week after buying?
2. From your explanation, a newbie shouldn't buy any domain that is not dot-com, what are the chances of getting domains that are dot-com at affordable prices on these websites
3. Please what are the cons of this business

Promann also known as Brandwiser

Y'all be careful when dealing with the above named person

He's a fellow domainer with very questionable character.

U1:
Yes, messages sent to a company's relevant decision-makers are the best!

If I may ask, what is the intention with the email template by including "before listing it publicly" after already setting up a sales landing page?

You're right - by all means necessary, we reach out to all possible prospects - through any medium possible too.

I've sold (and seen people sell) even with their Nigerian WhatsApp or social media handles. But if I were to advise a newbie (who is just starting out and trying to make their first one or two sales to build confidence and morale). I'll tell them to not make it obvious that they are selling from Nigeria (because of people's biased view)

My write-up should be seen as a subtle compilation of the domain flipping lifecycle. There's still more to it, but that's just an overview of the subject matter.

About the sending emails before listing - that was an oversight on my end. Apologies. List as soon as you buy, then start outbounding.

The writeup doesn't cover everything. Infact, every step has its own unique peculiarities and different ways people approach them. I was just sharing stuff to give some sorta preview to what this is all about.

3. Please what are the cons of this business

1. Can one actually sell a domain within a week after buying?

Answer - yes. Domains sell within days and hours. Some sell in the space of months and the years. In this business, logic AND patience are a virtue.

2. From your explanation, a newbie shouldn't buy any domain that is not dot-com, what are the chances of getting domains that are dot-com at affordable prices on these websites


Answer -
The answer to your question is in two parts. There are millions of names on ED. Source for the right kinds (that support your logic, reasoning or rational).

You can also go through sales reports and then replicate the logic.

If you see a sale of - HoustonRoofingContractors.com

Pick & replicate for say - the top 100 or 200 cities in the USA (by demographic preferences like GDP, or Population, or size). As with all things in life - apply some level of wisdom. You'd be fine.

Some of my statements were to help newbies from pitfalls that may befall them in the beginning stages of their domaining journey. This is not to say that it is cast on stone - No.

But in the same breath, .COM is king. You stand a better chance of selling your .com as opposed to many other extensions - because it has a wider user pool.

When you have mastered the game, and built confidence, you can venture into other extensions. I've sold .EU .CA .us ... But, .com should be your first focus as a beginner.


3. Please what are the cons of this business

Answer - what might seem like a "con" to you - might not mean much to the next person. If you're to do domaining - just know your risk appetite, set aside some capital for a start (ie: $50 - $100) don't go on a shopping spree... maximize this by leveraging on registrars' promos. Understand your logic/rationale ... Then put your money to work. With $100 - you'd get at least 15 .come (at reg price of $5 - $6 per reg).... Apply the right logic towards your purchases, and by God's grace - you'd make sales to boost your confidence and morale.

What do I mean by apply the right logic?
Learn to replicate what works. Study/understand patterns. Certain counties/cities/states are good domain flipping areas (ie: Austin/Houston/New York/Texas/California etc.. they are many) ... You'd want to first go with the 'known' before venturing into the 'unknowns'

Lastly - make a good friend as a mentor/companion on this journey. Nobody knows it all, but with the right sets of people around you - you'd beat the odds...

Thank you so very much. You couldn't have answered any better than this. I'm grateful, please can I come under your tutelage?

Nameslink seems cool. Got a name for 5.49, was able to change NS.

Understand your logic/rationale ... Then put your money to work. With $100 - you'd get at least 15 .come (at reg price of $5 - $6 per reg).... Apply the right logic towards your purchases, and by God's grace - you'd make sales to boost your confidence and morale.

What do I mean by apply the right logic?
Learn to replicate what works. Study/understand patterns. Certain counties/cities/states are good domain flipping areas (ie: Austin/Houston/New York/Texas/California etc.. they are many) ... You'd want to first go with the 'known' before venturing into the 'unknowns'

Lastly - make a good friend as a mentor/companion on this journey. Nobody knows it all, but with the right sets of people around you - you'd beat the odds...

My email is in my bio. Feel free to drop your questions whenever you feel unsure or overwhelmed.

There are some very active/ very resourceful guys here - just look backwards till at least 50 pages back - you'd identify a number of them.
The gentleman that started this thread runs a paid training too.

Once again - not everything being stated is cast on stone. You'd do well to model systems/techniques that work for you. The rest is rinse & repeat.

Cheers to your/our success!
