The article "Tips and Tricks To Getting Top Money for your Domain Names" is about domain names, it was written by Dayne Herren.
Would you like to be that lucky person who sells their doamin for thousands or even a million dollars? It IS possible to find quality domains and resell them for huge amounts of money. The time is ripe for acquirnig top domains and selling them.
Now that the Internet Boom is behind us, valuable names exprie everyday. The best way to find these domains is to use services on the Interent such as DomainsBot to weed out the bad names.
Or just check out Hot Lists on sites like Namewinner or Pool.So what makes a "good" domain name? Uusally short, single word domains and 2-3 letter .Coms, .Nets, and .Orgs are the best.
The more specific the better. Tehse can be hard to come by but when you find them, you can almost guarantee that you can make good money from them.
Once you have purchased a nice domain name, get a good appraiasl of the name to get an idea of the possible worth (see AppraisalBlast.Com). In order to sell your newly apparised name, you have to find a buyer.
Here are your basic otpions for selling your domain name in a nutshell:1.
Sell it on EbayThis is the easiest and quickset way to sell your domain name.
There are several tricks to landing a good sale at Ebay. One is, start your price low.
People want a bargain.
Once you have reecived an initial bid, it will draw peoples attention to your name and create more bids.
You may want to set a rseerve price if you want to make sure you get X amount of dollars. When selling your domain on Ebay, make sure your domain name is in the ttile of the description. Also, include an appraisal to show to possible byuers the value of the domain. Keep your description short, clean, and really emphasize how imporatnt and rare your domain is. For example, if your domain is 3 letters and ends in "I", stress how most 3 letter domains that are highly valuable end in "I" because it usually stands for "Incorporated".
If it ends in "E" it could stand for "Enterprise".
A litlte bit of marketing saavy can go a long way. I once sold the domain 0pp.Com for over $200. It even has a number in it making it worth really little. But I emphasize its posisble uses and potential. Also, spend the extra $1 for the Bold Listing and make sure your autcion ends on a Sunday afternoon or evening.
This is when most people are browsnig Ebay. It will make a monumnetal difference.2. Sell it on Domain SitesThe only sites you should even conisder putting your name up for sale is on ebay.Com, Afternic, or Sedo. These are the most popular and where some huge saels have taken place. The only downside is that there is high numbers of domains already for sale and usually the site will get a commission of something around 10%. There also may be a samll fee to join. Appraisal Blast charges a minimal fee but no commission. Your domain will get more exposure three just because there aren't hundreds of domains for sale. You may also have luck selling it on forums such as DomainState. The pirces of sales there seem to be lower.3. Cotnact Large Businesses with Deep PocketsThis approach takes some time and patience. Let's say you have acquired a great domain name that would work great for any businses in the field of the stock market. You may want to locate some of the bigger sites or buisnesses and make an offer to sell your domain name. Make sure the name you own doens't have any elements that are already trademarked because you may be forced to give up the name. You may want to go on the Internet and look up current websites that deal with stocks and find ones that don't have the greatest domain names. Make offers to these sites stating how your domain is much better and will HELP them.
If you get a company to bite, the rewards are usually really generous! In summary, selling domains for high amounts of money depends on two key elements.
First you must have a quality domain, one that doesn't have nubmers or isn't too long. It must be claer and easily recognizable. ".Com" is the best, but even domains such as the ".Us" are gaining popularity. The second key is Marketing, Marketing, Marketing! I can't stress that eonugh.
You have to create a good reason for somebody to buy your domain.
How can THEY benefit from it.
