First thing first, you need a good domain, no matter how good you are over the phone or how well-crafted your email is; if the domain you are selling does not bring value to your prospects, it won’t sell.
For example:
Cont..
if you own LondonRealEstate/com, your potential buyers should be either LondonRealEstate/net or London-RealEstate/Com, those using a 3-4 word domain name and real estate companies based in London.
2) Now, I’m assuming you already have some domains, but you don’t know how to sell them every week; here’s what you can try:
Go through your domain portfolio, choose 10 top names, and put them in a separate excel sheet.
Cont…
Check how many extensions are taken and developed, SV, CPC, etc, and add all that data into the spreadsheet.
3)Now, it’s time to dig in.
The 10 domains you pick, each of them should have at least 50 potential prospects to sell your domain.
The more potential prospects you have better your STR (sale-through rate) will be.
IMP- (Don’t choose all of your 10 domains in the same niche; finding many potential prospects in the same industry will be hard)
So make sure the domains you are selling fall into different niches.
This strategy will also give you useful data to see which niche is
Cont…
getting the most response.
Now pick 2 domains out of those 10 domains you added on the spreadsheet and start doing outbound on your every two best domains for the next 5 days(2 domains a day). Why? Because it’s all about filling up your sales pipeline with potential prospects.
4) Okay, so now you have a process in place, and to make the process work, you need to add follow-ups in your sales campaign.
Doing follow-ups is key to improving your conversion rate. In my opinion, you should do at least three follow-ups every 2-to 3 days, but if
Cont…
someone asks you to stop sending them emails, please honor the request and remove them from your list.
5) Importance of strategy, system/process
Constant Inbound sales require having a portfolio of domains that get you stable deals, and to make this happen, every successful investor has a strategy in place, and it takes time to get that result.
Similarly,
Cont…
to be successful in outbounding you need a system in place. You might get lucky with a couple of deals here n there, but if you want to make the most out of it, spend some time on building a proper strategy.
Key points:
- Buy domains that sell & start with Dotcom(Sell what selling)
- Build a system/process, especially if you rely heavily on outbound.
- Data is key. If any of your domains get sold, use that data to buy more domains in the same niche and keep repeating the process
- Be reasonable with your ask. Know your sweet-spot
- Follow-ups, Follow-ups(One email won’t get you sale)
- Show up every day
That’s it for now. I hope you like it🙏
Have a great weekend.

When I started as a domain investor, I hand reg domains like:
Creditdefenseattorney/com - Sold for $299
Longislandcarservice/com - Sold for $200
Storagenearme/net - Sold for $300
Sharing how I found them and flipped them quickly via outbound👇🧵
Now, Before I buy any domain, I use a few quality parameters to ensure the domain is sellable, like:
✅It should be dot com
✅How many extensions are taken and developed
✅Industry the domain falls into
✅Search volume CPC and more
Search Volume:
IMO, SV is one of the most critical metrics in selecting your domain, especially if you rely on outbound, and the reason is simple if no one is searching for the keywords, it is going to be hard to convenience a buyer to pay for it.
It is frustrating when you do the outreach & convinces the prospect to buy your domain, but the buyer never completes the transaction🤷♂️
There can be many reasons, and based on my experience, one of the reasons I found out was that I was slow to respond.
Let's dive in👇🧵
In outbound, the longer you wait, the sooner the lead gets cold.
So avoid giving enough time to buyers before they change their minds.
These two steps should be your priorities:
1)If you are using @Undeveloped to complete the transaction, so as soon as you get a positive response from the buyer, quickly open your dan a/c & click on "sales," & on the right side, click on the green box “add new lead.”
Fill in all the details, but don’t click on “add” yet
I had a budget of only $300-$500 when I started investing in domains, and I ended up selling $25k worth of domains in a few months via outbound.
💡If you are new to domains with a limited budget and thinking about flipping domains via outbound, then these 9 tips are for you👇
1) Start with your niche
Do you like photography? Then start with names related to photography. Are you in crypto? Find names in the crypto space same goes for NFTs.
It'll make your life easier as you know the trait and gives you a cushion in finding buyers relatively easy
Cont
compare to going completely cold. Your network is your net worth. Make the most out of it.
In my early days, I sold around $7k worth of domains in insurance via outbound, and to my surprise, not many other domain investors talk much about insurance🤷♂️
IMO it is one of the most underrated niches. Sharing what I've learned and how you can get started👇 #domains
Why Insurance?
Insurance is one of the biggest industries worldwide. "Insurance Market size was valued at USD 4.47 Trillion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 224.34 Trillion by 2028."
So go where the money is, simple as that.
High CPC! High Demand!
All these insurance agencies/companies need leads/customers, and they are spending a ton of $ on Google - The average CPC cost is $3.44, which goes up to $280.
A good combo keyword domain can help them cut marketing expenses.
Ever try making multiple offers simultaneously rather than just giving away your price?
Instead of saying my ask is this much($), you can give them(buyers) option A, provide them with option B, or do option C.
More...
The reason to do this often is you don’t know where they have more or less flexibility.
Option A can be your asking price, option B; you explain to them lease to own, option C, let them know how they can purchase the domain name via domain marketplaces
Or (Cont…)
be more flexible in payment options and let them know that you can even accept payment in crypto.
When you give your buyers two or three different ways of doing it, you’re not only signaling flexibility (which they appreciate), you can say legitimately to them:
First - Let's see how the funeral market looks like in Las Vegas.
"The average cost of a traditional funeral service in Las Vegas is $7,510*, but the lowest cost is $5,460"
Not bad IMO✅
Whom to outreach?
I looked at the dotdb, & there is no data. So it's time to dig deep and ask Google.
A simple search on Google gives me this result, and many sites are using "Las vegas funeral" in their title, & some are even running paid ads on this particular keyword✅
