🧵LANDERS: Recently there's been talk about landers (I started pulling this together a little while ago). Aimed more at newbies, here are my thoughts on lander options. It's safe to say, there's never been more choice for domain investors, and if I've made a mistake in commission etc please comment. There are more providers out there, but I looked at: @afternic @aftermarketcom @atomhq @daazcom @dnx @domain_easy @eftycom fruits(.)co @NamePros nameshift(.)com @spaceship @sudos_com @unstoppableweb @sawsells (I couldn’t bring myself to include Sav(.)com landers)

Over 5 million domains added to SellerHub. More than 2,300 sold. That’s a lot of movement. And also, a lot of names are still waiting. We’ve already explored how pricing impacts sales. But what else hides behind a successful domain sale? Is it the name itself, luck, pure skill, or maybe all of them combined? We looked deeper into domain selling strategies: when they work, what tends to hold them back, and the patterns we keep seeing 👇 ☑️ Landing page that converts When and why it works: when the name already gets some type-in traffic or feels brandable. A clean sale page with clear messaging and pricing options builds instant trust. What can hold it back: cluttered, outdated design, unclear pricing. ☑️ Developing a simple site for the domain When and why it works: when the name has clear potential – a niche keyword or strong brand idea. Even a one-page site built with AI tools can help buyers visualize how it could work as a business or product. What can hold it back: investing too much time. The goal is to show potential, not to run a project. ☑️ Targeted outreach When and why it works: ideal for names that naturally fit certain companies – for example, businesses using the keyword, operating in the niche, or running something similar. Short, personalized messages that show why the name makes sense for them often open doors. What can hold it back: mass emails, templates, or pushy tone. Outreach works when it feels researched and human. ☑️ Brandable marketplaces When and why it works: perfect for creative, short, or emotional names. Marketplaces, including the Brand Store we are building, add logos and storytelling that help buyers see a ready-made brand. What can hold it back: keyword-heavy, long, or confusing names. They rarely fit brandable platforms. ☑️ Community and visibility When and why it works: engaging in domain discussions, sharing insights, and being active in places like X or NamePros builds recognition. Over time, people associate you with quality and reach out naturally. What can hold it back: showing up only to promote. Conversations build reputation; promotion alone rarely does. ☑️ Brokers for premium names When and why it works: when the domain has clear brand weight and genuinely high-value potential. Brokers bring networks, negotiation skills, and trust. What can hold it back: handing out average names. The commission structure only really makes sense when the domain’s upside matches the effort. There is no single formula. Most successful sales come from a mix of visibility, timing, and patience. Domains tend to sell when they’re seen, understood, and offered at the right moment. Agree? – 🩵 What else would you add to the list?

If you’re seeing a slowdown in domain sales, it may have nothing to do with pricing or exposure. The buyer demand curve has shifted, and you can feel it in the data. 🧵👇

The greatest untapped revenue for Premium domains is the PUBLIC, and it’s untapped due to GoDaddy’s horrific appraisal system. Had great conversations with their staff at NamesCon. As soon as they dump it, you’ll see the greatest jump in aftermarket revenue in 30 years. @GoDaddy
