| This is from an old post of mine that you might find interesting...
The plan is quite simple: Google the domain name/subject, find the companies who might want the name & email them. I started with these 10 names below & sent out approx. 40 emails total. Way too few but I did get one sale (for $299). It's a numbers game.
You have to work with what you've got. In my case, they are not great names - all are just recent hand regs and are .net & .org (fyi - most of these names, when posted, garnered zero response in the appraisal section here). AdvertizeOnline.net, AnimatedGraphics.org, AutomobileRepairs.org, BusDriving.net, CareerPrograms.org, ConferenceRecording.org, ConstructionPlanning.org, CriminalDefenseFirm.net, EngineeringService.org, FlowersInBloom.org I registered these names so I guess it's either develop them, just hold on to them & hope for parking revenue, let them lapse or get off my butt, get out there & try to sell them. I believe in my names (don't we all) & I know there is someone, somewhere, that would like each one of these.
FYI - Samples of my sales emails (I'm sure you can do better):
Subject: is Now Available
Hello,
I am the owner of the domain name and have recently decided to put it up for sale. I have already received some inquires.
A number of people looking for you, in need of services or are interested in this subject simply type this name into the URL bar directly, foregoing the search engines all together.
I thought you would want to know that is now available. Please feel free to email me an offer at or ask any questions.
Thank you,

Phone number
OR perhaps something like:
Hi,
The domain name is now available for only $XXX (US). The name receives natural type-in traffic from those interested in so it makes sense that you should own the name. You could then, of course, redirect the traffic to your own site if you wished.
Transfer would be fast & smooth. Let me know if you want it and I'll unlock the name & supply you the authinfo code. As I'm sure you know, you simply supply that info to your registrar and complete transfer takes about 3-5 days. Payment to me would be via secure PayPal.com - my account is this address: YourEmailAddy.net
Internet addresses are like property, valuable pieces of real estate and I believe a storefront like will retail in the $xx,xxx range in just a few years. $XXX is a very low price and I thought you might be interested.
Thank you.
