Comments on: Ebay Domain Sales Experiment http://www.domainnoob.com/blog/2008/11/ebay-domain-sales-experiment/ My Trip To Domainland Wed, 19 Oct 2011 05:12:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jason http://www.domainnoob.com/blog/2008/11/ebay-domain-sales-experiment/comment-page-1/#comment-14 Jason Thu, 06 Nov 2008 02:43:29 +0000 http://www.domainnoob.com/blog/?p=21#comment-14 I have had my fair share of junk domains that I can't get $9.99 for on Ebay. It is really all about coming up with a formula that works. I have made money this year fliping domains but clearly not enough to live on. I just sold a military related domain for $100 and in negotiations for a domain I picked up yesterday for $150. I am usually happy with a 200% return so anything more rocks. Occasionally you land a big one and it makes it all worthwhile. I also like to roll my profits into domains worth holding like I bought a lll.net domain just a month ago with the profit from flipping. Maybe one of these days I will be able to afford a .com. ----------------------- Hi Jason. Thanks for stopping by. Glad to hear some of your Drop catches are turning into larger sales.

There still are plenty of opportunities for the newcomer to come into the game and make a few bucks, however without coming in with a large bankroll, it will be very difficult to make a career out of it. When most domainers factor in how much time they're putting into domains versus how much they're making, it's under $10/hour and for many it's a negative return. If it's a hobby or something you do in your free time, that's fine I guess, however it really does take a lot of hard, long hours to make a serious go of it. The real opportunity at present is in domain name development -- I purchased DomainingEbooks.com for regfee in October, however if I setup a minisite affiliate program on it for existing domain name ebooks, I could easily make 10-20 times the regfee back. There aren't very many webmasters even today who thoroughly understand all the principles behind what make domains valuable. Domainers really are at a competitive advantage if we take the time to learn about domain name development, monetization, and SEO strategies. ----------------------- Thanks Reece. I have a couple of Noobish development stories I'll get into print soon. Best of luck with LLLL.com Great post.
