A senior domain name player shares his experience in domain name investment

The editor found a "speculating" rice boss's personal experience in domain name investment. The following article will be narrated in the first person. This is my own experience. I will summarize my life of speculating rice in the past year. If I can bring some enlightenment and help to new and old classmates, it will be a matter of great joy to me.

1. First of all, it is necessary and necessary to choose a platform with powerful functions, perfect system and stability.

If the platform system is imperfect, unstable and not powerful enough, it will seriously affect the investment and operation of domain names. At present, there are many domestic domain name investment and trading platforms, but after one and a half years of investigation and understanding, I personally recommend: Yiming China.

Imagine: some platforms may temporarily hold special activities, with abnormal prices, lower than the market price, but when it comes to renewal, it is particularly high, or the platform is often not open. Then you are upset? How can you trade and invest in domain names? Therefore, choosing a stable platform is the first step in domain name investment.

2. The value of a domain name lies in its application.

Single letter (single number), 2 letters (2 numbers), 3 letters (3 numbers), 4 numbers are hard-to-use domain names and are not within the scope of this topic.

When investing in domain names, you must first examine the practicality of the domain name (domain name). When buying or selling domain names, ask yourself: If you use this domain name, what industry website will you build? Or if you want to build a website for a certain industry, what kind of domain structure will you choose? In this way, the value of the domain name, the value of the industry, the market commercial value of the domain name, and the potential value of this domain name will naturally come out. If you don’t like a certain domain name, or you can’t see the value of this domain name, and you really can’t think of what website this domain name is suitable for, then such a domain name can be classified as junk domain name, and you don’t need to try to buy or collect it.

3. Which rice should be collected?

1. Single letter (single number), 2 letters (2 numbers), 3 letters (3 numbers), 4 numbers are hard-core universal rice, of course, they will be famous forever, as long as you are financially strong enough, the more the better, and they will never depreciate.

2. Brand rice: Foreign (including transliterated rice) brands, domestic brand rice, can definitely be owned and invested in for a long time, but pay attention to one thing: this rice, the target terminal, has not applied for this rice as a trademark. If it has been applied for as a trademark, it may be troublesome for our sales, negotiations, and even use. You can go to the website of the National Trademark Registration Bureau to query relevant information. Brand rice is not necessarily a registered trademark of his company, but his products and his overall publicity are all using a certain name, and such rice is the most valuable. It is called "established fact brand, word-of-mouth brand", and such rice makes sense no matter how it is sold, without the worry of trademark infringement.

3. Double spelling is also worth collecting and has the greatest potential. Whether it is a com domain name or a cn domain name, good double spelling will always have a market.

4. Strong industry characteristics, higher value and greater potential than those with less industry characteristics, such as popular industries: banking, beauty, medical care, education, real estate, automobiles, building materials, women, children, training, marketing, e-commerce, etc.

5. Strong regional characteristics are also valuable. If a rice does not have industry characteristics, regional characteristics, or brand characteristics, then this rice is basically worthless.

6. News rice. Time-sensitive. Some rice may be very popular in the news for a period of time, and may be of high value at the time. After a period of time, such rice will become "old and yellow". Such rice should be treated with caution. I personally do not like such rice.

7. Star rice. I personally do not like it. After all, the possibility of star rice being repurchased is very small.

8. Administrative rice. Be cautious. I personally do not like it. Want government departments to spend thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands to buy rice? It is difficult.

9. Short-term circulation rice, also known as rice farmer rice. Some rice is like chicken ribs, which are tasteless and a pity to throw away. However, such rice has some value. Even if it is impossible to sell it to the terminal in a short period of time, it will not be put aside. If the price is not too high, it will always be sold to rice farmers. There should not be too much such rice, and the price should not be too high. There is no fixed standard principle. It depends on your own economic conditions. Such rice also includes registered rice (already registered, with a registration number) and technical rice suitable for webmasters to build a website.

In short, general cultivation and key selection. Before buying rice, make a reservation first and go to check the background of the rice. Every month, you should sort out your own rice table from time to time, and classify and divide the value of rice. Short-term rice, take it when you see profit. Good rice with collection value can be kept and wait for a high price before selling it.

4. How to get valuable good rice?

Methods to quickly get good rice for collection:

1. Acquisition, repurchasing good rice from others, the disadvantages are: the cost may be slightly higher (or lower), and the rice quality (potential value of rice, comprehensive index) is slightly worse.

2. Reservation, this method is recommended. It is recommended to reserve CN domain names in Yiming China. The expired CN domain names deleted by CNNIC China Internet Center every day will appear here. Therefore, we must seize this opportunity to reserve and collect valuable good rice here. Many companies paid 3 years, 5 years or even more years of fees at one time when they built websites a few years ago. Now, the CN domain name has expired, but the company itself can't find the network company that built the website at that time, resulting in the inability to renew the CN domain name in time, which leads to its deletion. Therefore, if we can successfully reserve such rice, the market value will be relatively high.

Before booking, check the background of this rice. What is the predecessor of Chami? When was Chami registered before? How many years ago? Is the industry field of this rice extensive? Is it a popular industry? Do the related enterprises of this rice still exist? If this enterprise does not repurchase, is it likely that enterprises in the same industry will repurchase? Check site: ***.cn, etc.

5. Sales methods and methods: Frequently publish and promote, communicate more, learn and participate with an open mind.

The difference between new classmates and old classmates is: new classmates do not know which rice is good, which rice is of high value, and do not know how to sell rice.

Frequently log in to the domain name forum. There are hundreds of thousands of people logging in to communicate every day. You can take the lead in mastering the first-hand information on the Chinese domain name industry and the Internet of Chinese enterprises, and your thoughts and thinking will determine your behavior. Only when your thoughts are sharp can you make your actions more accurate, experienced, and precise.

Frequently log in to major QQ domain name exchange groups to communicate and learn, taste and appreciate rice, which will make you progress quickly. At the same time, the QQ group sells rice and the turnover rate of rice is very fast.

Domain name investment: A senior domain name player shares his experience in domain name investment

Sixth, persistence is the key. CN policy was once turbulent, but now it is stabilizing, which is a good thing for the majority of domain name farmers.

CN domains are not without value. A good structure still has a market. Yesterday, Microsoft announced that it would buy 3 CN domains, 2 COM.CN and 1 CN domain, to expand Microsoft's business in China. Therefore, China, which has the world's largest number of Internet users, and CN, which represents China, are not sluggish and will always have good potential and market. In the past year and a half, I found that I have many domains that I have abandoned and not renewed, and my friends around me are regretting that they have abandoned or transferred some domains, but they have been turned into not very small websites by enterprises. Some websites are even listed groups with hundreds of millions of funds. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to strongly appeal again: do not give up your domains easily, and renew them in time. At the same time, do not give up the operation of domain name investment easily.

Seventh, the domain market has risks, so you need to be cautious when entering it, and do not affect your normal life.

In fact, the domain name investment industry itself is not risky. It's just that every industry has certain risks, and you need to master some basic common sense and operating rules. Some people are impatient or financially tight, so my advice is: don't enter it easily. After all, if you affect your life because of rice speculation, it is really unwise. But then again: when doing anything, you should have a beginning and an end. If you fish for three days and dry the net for two days, it will be difficult to accomplish anything.
