New Domain Marketing Service

Right now I'm looking a lot into digital currencies. I fear I missed the boat on Ehterium - price jumped 400% in recent months. So perhaps too late - but other crypto currencies look quite cool - risk is there's too many to pick from (9ish inc bitcoin)...

But for now just looking....

Had another offer £225 - debtcollectorslondon.co.uk - said yes..awaiting response...(bought for £2.20 on fasthosts literally recently (March 2017)....
 
I I decided to book some flights to Marbella, book a flat for a week, so my little boy doesn't have to run around a hotel room and rent a car. That's pretty much used up all my profit but that's ok.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, sitting here now, holding my flight tickets to Spain for next month, looking at a picture of the Air BnB that I've booked, looking at the June Weather report for the region - it's going to be pretty hard to convince me that what I'm doing isn't working.....Works just fine for me. Buy low, sell high, rinse, repeat - free holiday :)

Wow so if I use this domain marketing service, I too could be booking holidays in mere days?

Lol - dunno about all that.

But if you're good at following up, and closing good offers - then yeah it all helps....picking up the phone helps...

I worked on a trading floor where it didn't matter why a deal fell through - it was always the brokers fault for not closing well enough. So I really try and phone my leads to seal the deal quicker....

As mentioned earlier - had a few deals come in through them via email which were forwarded to me - and the rest were from their platform. Attached a screenshot.....But as a result of their marketing....

The 2 immediate metrics I'm trying to work out is what % of domains that I market do I close & which package the 19 or 29 works better for me. But what I do LOVE is the data they provide. It's a time saver for me and cheaper than going on Upwork and hiring a researcher.

Still early days....

Can I just point out - as it's been politely hinted to me - that the prices I may be taking are low. And without harping on about % returns and all that again, what I will say is that I'm not OVER pricing a domain. And we've all seen others do it. Where they are too emotionally attached to a domain - and think it's worth XXXX and in reality it's probably a XXX (if they're lucky)....

What I'm trying to say is how you use the data after you get it plays a BIG part in this...But it's still early days.

p.s. of course selling that LLL boosted sales a bit señor

What are you using on the landing pages? Landing/offer/advert page / Lead Generation / Redirect.

Also what sort of turnaround are you seeing on your orders?
 
If you're getting regular sales and plenty of leads from the service, there's ample opportunity to play with pricing and see how much of a factor it is.
 
From what I remember they send out emails Mondays & Fridays. I think there's still some teething issues in terms of the queue etc.. Landing pages I use the ones that Domain Manage provide - with the outbound, they seem to convert well.

I currently have 1600ish domains on Domain Manage. Got 5 free domains for the Beta Test, paid for 10, but then in typical trader fashion when anything works, I doubled down - and bought it for 10 more domains. So as it stands the sales I've reported are as a result of 25 domains marketed. But some of those domains won't be marketed until tomorrow....

This is the deal I'm attempting to close today... http://debtcollectorslondon.co.uk

So you can see what the landing page looks like if you aren't familiar with Domain Manage.

The super annoying thing about Domain Manage (sorry Julian) is there's no monetising of traffic :( That's where parking crew really are the best....

Hey Edwin,

I've been tracking my emails on follow up...I don't know what's the norm, but I've noticed a few things:

1) When I don't give a price and say a domain is for sale, people seem to come back to me and say anywhere from 200-250
2) Only 1-3% of the opened emails actually click the link to make an offer. Those that do - 90% place an offer. Any other offers come via email.

Will definitely start playing with pricing etc...
 
£80/month

that's 40 free domains / month I used to get to buy with that....

Murray - do you do much outreach stuff?

Oh really that's pretty good, was that with .uk domains? how many and where was the traffic coming from, type ins?

No I don't do much outreach, when I have its been for domains I'm happy to let go for low xxx.

I would find people would agree to buy and gave me their invoice details, id send them an invoice and that would be the end of it, never get payment and they stopped replying to emails from that point

The better domains I have id rather wait for a buyer to contact me, which has worked to satisfaction so far.
 
Mmm....where ?Is there ? Ive been waiting for the update.
For a long time you have been able to add ad code, adsense, whatever...

Perhaps do a bit of Google searching around the psychology of "price anchoring". There's a lot of material out there that suggests that people are subconsciously affected by the first price they see in that it frames their expectations going forward. So if you quote a price, even if it's more than what they are willing to pay, it may help reset their expectations within a range that's still going to be higher than if they throw out a price "blind" because you've given them nothing at all to go on.
