I think that it is who one knows that helps them to make a sale. Any random person calling a business may find it to be frustrating, and even dejecting after constantly being rejected.

Quick story: I watched a musician handing out his jazz CD in Times Square last weekend. Mostly every person ignored the guy. The guy continued to chip away at the crowd. He managed to find people who were interested in what he had to offer.

With every 20 people that passed by, he was able to find one person. I think that approach may work for domain investors who have very little contacts. I feel that it is much easier to know the right people than to buy the right stuff.

It is no too common for people to come looking for your domains. You have to know the right people and spend money to advertise your stuff. However, having a popular blog seems to help because I noticed that domainstryker.com put up 50 domains for sale on their website. With that approach, they moved quite a few domains.

Keep chipping away until you find one interested party.

Selling newly registered domains is not as easy as it seems. I’ve ran into a few instances where an end-user used the potential domain sale to trick me into giving them information. Afterward, they had no interest in purchasing the domain.

I wouldn’t deal with auto businesses because they have little to no customer service. I would even consider them to be unethical. I put in a ton of work to sell newly registered domains. I seem to be getting reverse results. The more I call and send e-mails, the harder it is to make a sale.

I have no problem with directly calling a company. Cold calls are easy. Today, I may have generated one lead because I contacted a specific place that deals with the targeted product and service. For the first time, the person seemed very interested, even asking for my number and name. You could hear it in their voice. They mentioned they have to discuss the two domains with the group.

These domains are the exact name of a location. I sold one of them in the past, and have two other extensions. To be honest, selling a newly registered domains is a hard sale at $50. I would be happy to push a domain for $50, then looking to make $1000.

Do some research before registering new domain names. If you spend $2000, then you have to spend that same amount next year to keep them. It may not be worth the money to keep some names. Know what products and services will continue to be popular.

great post thanks. Yes, I am sure no one would mind selling $1000 or less if you can do a lot of these. But think about it, even if you could sell 10 per month, the profit would be better than most day jobs.

@Elliot, I would love to see a post on tools you use to find/email end users and to minimise the time taken for this process.

Thanks.
