[QUOTE="Biggie, post: 2337200, member: 1195"] Hi i think using the terms "invest" and "flipping" in the same breath, is contrary to the notion of longevity and sustainability, of/with a portfolio and as a domainer. as flipping means to sell quickly, therefore you're basically liquidating any potentially valuable domain you happen to stumble upon. searching for what "you think is valuable", then sending spam emails to unsuspecting victims, also means more work and... how many of those potentials, who already have a website...will want or need you domain name, when they already have one? is yours better, shorter, is it a .com and they are using .org? most who use .org, use it intentionally, so majority of them aren't interested. do they have hyphenated domain and you have non-hyphen version in .com? also, consider how many of your spam emails will go to junk box. how many actually know how to write a letter, using proper english grammar? how many know what to say and what to say if they get a reply? how many know how much they want, for their freshly registered domain name? it's easy to say, "go here and bid on valuable domains", but to a newbie, how do they know "what value is" and @ $10, why is it still available and why does it have value? learn value, by reading what buyers have been and are looking for now. read thru domains wanted section, going back 10 years, as this will give definitive view of what domainers have been looking to purchase and their budgets for such over the years. this gives insight to rising prices for category type domains and if you're keen, then you can gather lists, based on traditional cycles of demand. there will always be trends, but also mainstays, that are sought year after year. like: names for portfolio sites and or domainer related sites blogs, forums, news, social media. media, business, finance, legal, health, etc single words two words phrases geo short domains etc learn "how to buy domain names that sell themselves" and you won't/don't have to speak for them, and you won't/don't have to explain what they mean. then buyers will contact you because your domain "makes cents" for their usage. and all you have to do is "wait", which gives you leverage in negotiations. one other thing it's okay to sell to other domainers too, as some have as much or more money than any end-user you think, might buy your domain. to me, money is money and it's about margins and profits, so consider taking the cash, when it's beneficial to sustaining the portfolio. and when or if you read any past sales reports, visit the domain name to see if it has been developed by enduser or if it now has ppc page with link to purchase it. this can often tell whether the domain was bought by another domainer. feel free to question, doubt or disbelieve read thru my Trader Rating to see some past deals as seller and buyer. imo...
