Robbie published an interview with one of the Web’s smartest and most handsome domainers earlier today… yours truly 🙂

… nope, it’s not the same thing. When you’re contacting domainers to buy one or more of their domains, you’re automatically in a position that’s considerably more complicated than when you’re being contacted by a domainer who wants to sell something or when a domain is being sold publicly.

I’m pretty sure most of the people who are reading this post are finding out about the auctions through DomainingTips.com because Sedo doesn’t bother advertising the event. I gave up trying to understand why. Anyway, click HERE to check out their entire inventory.

Here are some of the domains which are being auctioned this month:

There are a lot of great ideas on the Internet and there are a lot of blatantly stupid ones. It’s hard to figure out what the #1 most stupid idea is because there are so many contenders but Adblock is definitely one of the most powerful candidates. The concept behind Adblock is not only stupid, it’s also extremely dangerous because it makes people think that ads = bad and that’s ridiculous!

The domain renewal process is and always will be one of the most important parts of your business model, yet most people simply go with the flow and renew domains “whenever”… not a good idea. In the long run, you’ll end up losing quite a bit of money if you don’t put together a renewal strategy. Ok, if you only own a couple of domains, it’s not that much of a big deal.

Maybe you’re running online businesses, maybe you have a portfolio showcase site with a “contact” section and so on. I’m pretty sure most of you have at least one website with a contact form, so here’s a recommendation: eliminate all of the fields which aren’t necessary today, let’s make today the Internet’s “long forms suck” day 🙂

If an end user contacts you and you reply right away, I think it’s a bit of a mistake. Appearing too eager to sell is not exactly a good idea. I understand that it’s tempting to reply right away but I’d recommend resisting the temptation.

There are more young and very young people involved in Internet-related industries than in offline businesses, so I hope some of you will find my advice useful. I keep in touch with a lot of young entrepreneurs as well as domainers and certain things related to their stories are often similar.

When you’re making money at a young age, the temptation to spend on “lifestyle”-related things is hard to resist.

Or instead of calling them lifestyle-related things, let’s just broadly refer to them as depreciating assets.

Since I started offering brokerage services at a 3% commission, I’m receiving emails on a regular basis but unfortunately, most of the domains have nothing to do with the guidelines I published.

–

I mentioned that in order for me to accept your domain, it has to be worth at least $3,000 on the reseller market and that in order for me to accept your mini portfolio, it has to be worth at least $5,000 on the reseller market. Again, on the reseller market.

In most cases, the domains people are submitting would (at best) fetch those amounts through an end user sale in an optimistic scenario.

That’s why I want to make something clear and I’m sure other brokers feel the same way: if you don’t read the guidelines carefully and submit domains for the sake of it, you won’t receive a reply.

It’s not personal but since most brokers receive quite a few emails, replying selectively is the most reasonable approach.

If you want me to help you sell domains on the reseller market in exchange for a 3% commission, click HERE to read the guidelines and after reading them, shoot me an email at admin@domainingtips.com 🙂

Occasionally, when you’re selling something (not just domains) and the other party doesn’t agree with the price you quoted (for example), he or she ends up resorting to insults. I run online businesses, I invest in domains so as a domainer as well as an entrepreneur, I often have to deal with assholes.
