How can you have more chances to sell your domain name? Here are 3 tips!

I have always felt that domain name investors are actually top "sales experts". Whether in the process of buying or selling domain names, domain name investors need to master skills that are far more complex than sales staff in ordinary industries, such as knowing multiple languages, communication skills, bargaining skills, and psychological warfare to persuade the other party, etc.

For every domain name investor, it is good to be able to sell the domain names in hand, but at the same time, they have to face several inevitable realities:

1. Not every domain name investor can sell all the domain names in his hands. In many cases, most domain names are difficult to sell successfully, especially some new top-level domain names with unremarkable meanings, domain names with non-mainstream suffixes, and some creative domain names, which require great patience and a lot of time.

2. Many end users do not actually know how to contact domain name holders, because they may never have relevant experience in buying domain names, which easily leads to end buyers giving up the purchase because they don't know where to start, or turning to find other domain names that are easier to buy.

So, what should be done to more effectively increase the chances of selling a domain name? Recently, someone on the foreign domain.tips forum gave three tips:

1. Display the for-sale information on the domain name display page

Whether you believe it or not, the domain name display page is the most common sales channel. Buyers only need to enter the domain name in the address bar of the browser to easily access the corresponding page and know whether the domain name is for sale. They can even know the contact information of the holder, the quotation, etc. through this display page.

2. If you really want to sell the domain name, you can set a fixed price

Regarding the sale of domain names at a fixed price, everyone in the domain name circle actually has different opinions. Some people think that if you set a fixed price to sell a domain name, you may lose a lot of money because the price is too low. Although this may be true, at least you have sold the domain name. Many domain name buyers are easily intimidated by the offer you give, and they like to see those domain names that they are capable of and can buy immediately.

From the terminal perspective, some companies may be willing to pay a high price for domain names, but some companies are forced to give up a good domain name due to economic factors, and go elsewhere to find a more affordable domain name that meets their own needs.

3. Optimize the Whois record of the domain name

Just like setting up a domain name display page, the Whois information of the domain name can make others understand the relevant information more intuitively. For example, you can fill in the words "This domain name is for sale" in the company name column of Whois, or you can directly display who the holder is, what is the contact email address, what is the contact phone number, and some information about the domain name itself, such as registration time, whether it has been traded, what is the previous transaction price, etc.

Although the above are three practices that many people know and are relatively easy to do, they are indeed an effective way to increase the probability of selling a domain name. Of course, in addition to these, domain name investors should also understand some other principles, such as reasonable pricing of domain names. Too low a price will reduce your own income, but too high a price will easily scare away buyers, making the other party doubt your sincerity in negotiating the transaction, and instead miss the opportunity to sell the domain name, which requires flexibility.

Of course, from the perspective of our rice farmers, what we hope most is to meet end buyers, or customers who acquire domain names for projects, because they have more rigid needs, and the transaction price is generally higher than reselling to other rice farmers. However, for many novices who lack transaction experience, how to find such buyers, how to contact them, and how to convince them to buy your domain name are all things that require continuous learning and mastering of skills.
