How I made 20x ROI in 11 days selling a domain name

How much time you spent researching emails and sending them out + negotiating?

if you divide that by hours, you'd probably very close in hourly wage to a guy flipping burgers @ burger king.


Im not hating, just being real.
 
Expired domains

Typing your keyword on Google search and finding potential buyers from the results.


Let me just give you an example.

You own StormConstruction. com

Potential buyers;

Storm-Construction. com
StormConstructionCompany. com
StormConstruction. net
and so on…


Doing a Google search you will come across plenty of websites for that.

True. I own SomethingSometing.store and if someone offers SomethingSometing.com for sale I would buy it.

Nice tut btw.
 
Wait one second!



I have found my most valuable domain names executing manual searches.

And yes, you can beat out the software applications and domain catchers, but ONLY when you understand the nuances, and ebb and flow of each of the registrars.

Honestly, you can become a BEAST when it comes to snagging brandable, memorable, and profitable domain names, but you MUST be willing to put in the WORK!

When it comes to domain sniping, then it's very difficult to beat the big services, especially DropCatch as they own hundreds of registrars which they've paid millions for.
This increases their chances significantly as they're able to do a lot of API calls and catch the domain as soon as the grace period is over.

I have over 6000 domain names in my portfolio; I beat the big services on the regular.

We're looking at this from two different perspectives and two different mindsets.

You? You can tell me about your perspective and mindset.

Me? Maybe it's my military background, but I approach ALL of my online endeavors as WAR!

Which means I have WAR ROOMS.

Inside those WAR ROOMS, we hash out how to CRUSH our enemies, how to annihilate them, how to outthink them, how to outsmart them, how to outmaneuver them, how to use their strengths against them, and how to use their weaknesses against them.

I stated earlier, with EVERY registrar, you MUST understand their nuances, ebb and flow, and how they handle domain names.

I also stated that you MUST put in the WORK to learn them.

HINT: everyone registrar has identifiable weaknesses and chinks in their armor, once you identify them, that information is *PURE GOLD!

Once you rise to that level of perspective and mindset, you will become unstoppable!

But, let's do this... the OP did an amazing job, I'm sure there are BHM members who want to pick his brain and glean from what he accomplished, let's let this thread stay on track with that thought process in mind.

Thanks!

I like your mindset and I also believe that's the right attitude.
But when it comes to catching expired domains, then it's not about any tricks or having a war room, it's only about money.

For example, DropCatch owns hundreds of registrars and there's little you can do to beat them if they're interested in the domain.

You obviously don't understand how to conduct WAR.

DropCatch is simply another combatant; the same principles, rules of war, and rules of engagement apply.

They can be beaten, YOU just haven't learned how.

Call it whatever you like, mate, the problem is that your opponent (DropCatch, for example) has hundreds of times more resources than you.
Sure, you could win in some rare instances if they don't have enough interest in the domain, but if they do then you're chances are slim.

The best you could do personally, would be to backorder the domain at different registrars, but how many backorders at different registrars could you realistically place?
At the same time you have DropCatch which is practically monitoring the domain during the period that it's going to expire using hundreds of different registrars that it owns.

To give you a battle scenario (as you seem to be interested in this), then it would be equivalent to you facing a tank armed with a rock.
 
I once came up with a more complex method. I managed to buy very expensive domains very cheaply, and at the same time I created websites based on them and sold them even more expensive, and the customers were satisfied.
 
@UpwardDescent,

A man with experience is not at the mercy of a man with an argument.

I've been in battles and wars with DropCatch and won and still win.

The problem is, you are playing checkers, while everyone else is playing chess.

You cannot convince me of your belief because I am WINNING; I'm beating DropCatch.

The OP found a way to beat out whoever he beat out.

Why don't you put in the WORK to learn what it takes to DOMINATE in Domain Name Investing, including acquiring HOT domain names? As opposed to trying to convince others there's no way to win?

REMEMBER: All phases of Internet Marketing are WAR; including Domain Names!

Strategically and tactically, I wouldn't face a tank with a rock, I'd send in the A-10 Warthog, the tank killer, LOL!


P.S. I Monitor domain names BETTER than DropCatch, it's called Electronic Intelligence, better known as Intel.

Ask somebody who knows about the Invisible Badgers.

I don’t see them as my opponent. While they catch their domains with softwares and auto buy, I take my time to research and hand register. This is a huge market and there is money for everyone. You can join auctions, bid on great domains to resell if you have money to invest. I don’t have enough money to join auctions so I buy domains hand registered directly from registrars and try to resell them.
 
Is this something that you think can scale? Is it replicable?

Also, how could you be sure the company would pay you? Did you transfer the domain first?
 

@ johnny.blue

You asked here's your answer...

@Tipitip,

Like you, I started off, putting in the WORK manually; that's how I figured out what the registrars were doing in terms of their shady tactics. The worst of the offenders being G0daddy. As I stated previously, once you learn the nuances, ebb, and flow of each registrar, you will (if you're playing chess) see what it takes to beat them at their own game.

OP, I'm going to repeat this because it bears repetition, you are inspiring!!!
 
Can you clarify step 7 where you said you sent emails for 4-5 days. How many approx emails did you send during these 4-5 days? and what was your main selling point - better name, short name, SEO benefits etc?

For this specific sale, I sent about 20-22 emails. 5 responded back and 3 of them were not interested.
Can you please describe how you gathered the emails of potential clients ?

It’s usually on their website located in contact us page. Generally info@“companyname”.com or admin@“companyname”.com

If I can’t find their emails I usually try with these 2 above and it works.

Bro where u find this just drop domain I want to test method?

There are plenty of websites like NameJet, DynaDot, JustDropped and etc..

I thought Duck knows how to snap domain names.
 
Way to go!
I buy domains hand registered directly from registrars and try to resell them
Using human intelligence against machine will get you enough to make bank.
One deal a week will sort out my mortgage very nicely.
Keep doing what you are and thanks for the inspiration in doing something you found profitable - and then sharing with us here.
 
@Tipitip

When the company buys a domain name from you what do they pay you in? Paypal? Wire? Crypto?
I use a company that sends me the payments via Wire, Paypal or BTC depending on my request. They charge me 9% for this.
