Who Said Domains Aren't Hot Anymore?

Let's face it, when you hear someone raked in almost half a mil' in a single month from selling bits of digital real estate, that gets your attention, right? That's exactly what Mike Mann did this past October, flipping 24 .com domains for a whopping $490,260.

You might think, 'Big deal, he got lucky.' But here's the thing: luck didn't have much to do with it. It was all about strategy, foresight, and understanding the nuances of the domain marketplace.

The Art of The Sell

Selling domains isn't just about having a catchy name - though it helps. It's about knowing the ins and out of TLDs, gTLDs and ccTLDs; keeping up with WHOIS records; and playing the registrar game like a pro. And don't even get me started on expired domains and drop catching!

If you're sitting there wondering what half those terms are, you've stumbled onto exactly why Mike Mann is swimming in domain dough and most people are not.

A Closer Look at The Sales

  • Sales ranging from $2,888 to an eye-watering $167,500 per domain
  • An average take-home of $20,428 per domain
To anyone building their own domain portfolio: these numbers aren't just impressive; they're the blueprint to your success.

Picking Gems in The Rough

Now I know what you're thinking: 'Okay genius, if it's so easy why isn't everyone doing it?' Fair point. But who said it was easy? The trick is in picking out potential free agents - those neglected premium domains and brandables that have been cast aside or undervalued.

This is where things get interesting for folks looking to beef up their domain portfolios. You see those sales figures? They matter because they set precedents. They heat up aftermarket interest. And honestly? They inspire regular Joes like us to keep hunting for our online El Dorado.
