Casual Articles - Sell Domain Names on eBay
Central to successful marketing for Service Professionals is giving away valuable information.In fact all your marketing should revolve around this one simple principle: Create valuable information to give away and give it away in vast quantities.This may sound simple, but like everything there's a knack to it. It actually takes some thought and planning to give away valuable information in a way that makes it truly appreciated and brings you paying clients (that is after all what marketing is all about isn't it?).Simply giving away something, no matter how valuable, will only get you so far.
* Look at expired domain names which often have ready made traffic which can attract higher bids than previously unregistered names. Really high traffic sites do fall into disuse, though infrequently, and they can be worth much more for traffic potential than actual letter combination.

1. Do you REALLY know what you want?2. Do you know yourself well? What your interests, talents, and transferable skills are?3. Are you articulate? Can you explain what you want and do it clearly?4. Do you have supportive people interested in you and your welfare? If not, find some, NOW!5. Do you have a network of contacts? Start with your friends.6. Do you rely too much on the "want ads". Don't.7. Do you have an agenda of who to see, who to talk to, who to network with, every day of your job search?8. Do you have good job skills?9. Do you practice gratitude?
So what it wasn't you who made $8 million for business.com, $5.1 for AsSeenOnTv.com, or ?2.9 million for wine.com ….. you could very easily have been the one who paid less than $10 for speeddate.com and sold it on eBay last month for ?6995.00 (over $13,000)
Some eBayers specialise in domain names costing very little to list in their shop and still list thousands of pounds, even millions, as their opening bid.
Making money is easy, but getting really fabulous prices for domain names is more down to luck than good business, but there are ways to make luck smile more favourably on you, as you will soon discover.
INTRODUCTION TO SELLING DOMAIN NAMES ON EBAY
* Names are usually listed under Computing > Services > Domain Names and less often under ‘Business, Office & Industrial > Businesses for Sale > Internet Businesses/Websites’. You will often find people adding bonus items, to induce more and bigger bids, such as web sites and hosting or even complete Internet businesses, and these might sometimes be listed on eBay under ‘Business, Office & Industrial’.
* Some really exciting and profitable names are listed on eBay every day, like speeddate.com mentioned earlier and, currently unsold, www.lowesinstallations.com and homedepotdelivery.com Surnames, like Lowes, represent a good bet, there's bound to be someone, somewhere, called Lowes, who does installations. So you will often see surnames offered and snapped up quickly on eBay.
* For every clever combination of letters, there's the odd individual trying to repeat history with something he or she thinks closely resembles a past auction record breaking domain name. But does www.6usiness.com really make you wish you had $8,000,000 to offer just because www.business.com fetched 8 million dollars? I don't think so.
* So be realistic, avoid daft combinations, unless someone really has money to throw away to buy your name, you'll only waste money.
* Acronyms are gaining popularity with still millions of letter combinations to choose from. An acronym is a series of letters where each letter represents the initial of words in a particular phrase. So taxi firm Travel In Style might bid for TIS.com, bookmaker Bet With Confidence might like BWC.com, and so on. It's a good idea to choose acronyms based on actual business models, such ashscb.com that recently fetched ?5000 on eBay.co.uk. The seller suggested 'hill side to cloud base' makes a great name for a paragliding business and doubtless someone else agreed. But what can you make out of ffq.com that has just gone for $4900.00.
* Actual names and single words also fetch high prices (like zillionaire.com worth $3650), though whether www.bradley.com actually will fetch ?1,000,000 I really don't know. As I type, indulgency.com is currently offered at ?12 starting price and no offers, locals.com - very nice - remains unsold at $500,000.
* Short names are usually preferable to long domains, especially as acronyms. Imagine matching qygzvyuuu.com up with someone prepared to pay thousands of dollars, against abc.com (no I don't think it's for sale, it's just an example).
* New fads and important events can also fetch handsome rewards when applied to domain names. As news comes in that bird flu has hit the UK I decided to check for suitable domain names. Birdflu.com or .anything for that matter, is that available? No chance, already gone. What about Bird-flu.com, or .biz, .whatever? No, sorry, beaten to it again. What about a longer name for what will surely be a rash of products coming onto the market to help us steer clear of bird flu, what do you think of bird-flu-resources.com? Yes, that is still available. Or rather it was, I just bought it to test my theories about selling domain names on eBay.

Although businesses of all sizes continue to recognize the value of customer relationship management and thus invest in CRM software solutions there are still a great deal of misinformation resulting in companies choosing not to invest in CRM. It’s time to debunk the CRM Myths. CRM Is To Complicated To Use Many staff feel this way so they make little effort to understand the software and how to use it. They don’t recognize how it will benefit their performance and work load. If your staff doesn’t understand how to use the CRM software they will become impatient when they don’t see

I would like to give some advice to all the up and coming entrepreneurs; if you really want to be a superstar not only do you have to work harder and smarter than the competition, but you must always keep learning. I built a company from a bucket of water and a sponge into a National Car Wash Franchise System in 23 states. To do this you need to know more than what they taught you in school and you can never turn off your brain. Every person is different and has different interests. But I would like you to read thru my recommended reading list. This is a list I hand out to MBA and Entrepreneurial Students when I g

Some years ago I read and interesting story that illustrated why many of the sales and service industry professionals that invest their time and money in my personal telephone coaching sessions ( http://www.TheSellingEdge.com/personalCoaching.htm ) have until the coaching sessions have failed to move beyond an intellectual understanding of sound selling principles.
