Have a good domain? Now a days, many people have domain names that are worth thousands of dollars, and gain thousands more every year. But when it comes to actually selling domains, brokerages take up a big part of the market. What does this mean? It means that many brokers will offer to sell domains to you in exchange for commission on the sale. But the best way to stay on top of the market and make the most money in selling domains is to sell domains on your own. It’s a statistical fact, those that sell domain names on their own usually make the most money.
The key to sell domain names for top dollar is your reputation as a domain seller. Get a good reputation, and people will be attracted to your sales. If you have cultivated a past record of providing quality domains without hassle, your sales will spread virally. Webmasters and domain buyers will be talking about how you sell domain names of high quality, and after awhile, everyone will know about you. Remember that buyers recommend buyers, and you can often use the same buyer many times for your sales.
If you have never sold a domain before, then I suggest you go to a place like Sedo and have them do it for you. However, the most experienced users sell domain names on their own. They might post on forums, post on their high traffic blog, or get other high traffic blogs to write about their domain name for sale. Make sure you put all of your facts out there, and try to never have any bad reputation. Even if some random guy tries to ruin your thread, deal with it professionally. Report him to a moderator and get the posts deleted. Sell domain names with class. Nobody wants to deal with someone who types like they are 13 years old and have no idea how to sell domain names. Besides, even if you are 13, present yourself as if you are 25.
Finally, when you sell domain names, offer some sort of protection to buyers, and let them know that you care about a good transaction. Never do anything that will get your name on the wall of shame. Sell domain names on your own and you will find that when you get to keep 100% of the sale, you made the most money possible. If you sell domain names anywhere that wants to take a fee, you will always make less money than you deserve.
