Name Administration Testing Out Domain Sale Landing Pages

You’re probably familiar with the traditional Internet Traffic landing page. If you aren’t, see FrozenBananas.com as an example. You’re also probably familiar with the Domain Name Sales inquiry page that a visitor lands on when they click the link at the top of domain names that are listed for sale.

It appears that either Frank Schilling’s domain portfolio company (Name Administration) or Internet Traffic is testing out a for sale landing page that does not  have

LinkedIn Can Help You Find a Buyer

Here’s a tip on how a LinkedIn company search can help you find a domain name buyer.

Although I am reluctant to use LinkedIn to try and sell someone a domain name (unless it is a last resort), I want to share a way that you can use LinkedIn to find a prospect for descriptive domain names, specifically keyword .com domain names.

The most common search that people do on LinkedIn is the people search. This allows visitors to find people with whom they’ve done business, connect with colleagues and co-workers, or get in touch with people they want to meet. Personally, I don’t think this is a great way to approach a buyer about a domain name.

Another common search tool that can help you find prospects for domain names is the

My Ideal Passive Domain Sales Platform

I don’t particularly like having buy it now prices on my domain names, especially the names I consider premium.

I think it’s a wise move to send inquiry phone calls to voicemail.

Why I’m Not Going to Tell You How Much Your Domain Name is Worth

One of the best things about having my blog is that I can interact with other domain investors. This business can be a bit isolating since there aren’t many people who do it, and it’s always good to speak with likeminded people who invest in domain names for a living.

By the same token, one of the worst things about having a domain blog is that many people email me and expect that I will spend my time giving them advice, especially as it relates to the value of their domain names. I don’t have any interest in becoming a

Continue Selling to a Buyer

Not everyone understands the value of domain names and how a domain name can help a business. There are plenty of smart business owners that don’t really care about domain names, especially those that cost more than the annual registration fee.

There are many people who do understand what a domain name can do for a company, and some of these people will pay what it takes to acquire great domain names to help their businesses. When you find a decision maker that appreciates good keyword domain names, you should do what it takes to generate additional sales from that buyer.

There are quite a few people I’ve done multiple deals with who
