Domain Names Success
by Edwin John
Have you ever wondered how successful domain
speculators
sell their domain names?
I recently interviewed several top domain investors
names
to learn their secrets. Due to the length of the
discussion I
have had to break up the entire conversation to
several
segments.
Here's a protion of the trasncript from this exclusive
6
part interview series. We begin with the following
question.
"What is the most important advice you would give
to new domain owners hoping to resell their domain
names?"
Our panel includes:
Michael Collins (Afternic.com),
Zane Lawhorn (#1 Domains International, Inc),
Michelle Miller (DomainBuyers.com)
Daniel Mejia (DomainsBot.com),
Stewart Reynolds (EchoArts.com)
Joe Devlin (ToGoDotCom.com)
Robert S. Kieren (NameProdigy.com)
Igal Lichtman (DomainSpa.com)
Andrew Allemann (WebMasterExpert.com)
William J. Piniarski (Time2Sell.com)
Michael Green (HowToCorp.com)
Joe Devlin: Do your homework. Know what makes a
domain name valuable and have a plan before you
register a domain. A domain name is in essence a
business card to the world. Match the message a domain
name can send with a business that needs to send that
message and you have created value.
Andrew Allemann: Don't buy too many domains before
you sell one or two. You may not be buying quality
domains and may never sell them.
Stewart Reynolds: Have your domain names appraised to
find out which names are the most valuable. Then have
the most valuable domain names pointed to a page where
prospective buyers can contact you. On that page post
your asking price and request offers.
Michael Collins: I guess it would seem self-serving to
say list them at Afternic, but letting people know
your
domains are for sale is the first step. There are many
ways to promote your domain for sale. Listing them
on leading domain name exchanges and putting a
for-sale notice on a website hosted on your name are
among the best. Set a reasonable price. The biggest
mistake I see is overpricing. There are many people
who think their two and three word generic domains
with limited market size are worth tens of thousands
of dollars. If you do not have successful experience
selling names, consider a reputable appraisal
service.
You have to be careful with appraisals too. Many
appraisals are inflated to entice people into
marketing relationships.
Michelle Miller: Price the name realistically and use
a trusted broker BuyDomains.com offers a 100% FREE
listing service that allows anyone to post their
domain for sale. Our site gets over 50 million hits
a month, instantly giving individuals the opportunity
to gain free exposure and sell their name.

Because access to government information continues to be an area of concern for many U.S. citizens with disabilities, the U.S. government enacted Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act in 2001 to ensure that government agencies create accessible Web content, enabling all citizens to access the information they need. A fully accessible Web site makes Web content accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities, who may be accessing Web content via a variety of user agents. Common user agents include standard Web browsers, text-only browsers, assistive devices and mobile devices such as cell phones or personal digital assistants (PDAs).
