What goes wrong.

REGISTERING TOO MANY

Renewal costs compound and most never sell.

REGISTERING WHAT IS AVAILABLE

Availability usually means nobody wanted it.

RELYING ON AUTOMATED VALUATIONS

Frequently inaccurate in both directions.

CONFUSING SEARCH VOLUME WITH DEMAND

Nobody searches for domains. Buyers want specific names.

PRICING UNREALISTICALLY

Produces no enquiries, so you learn nothing.

NOT ANSWERING ENQUIRIES

The commonest way a sale is lost.

NO LANDING PAGE

Names pointing nowhere capture nothing.

IGNORING TRADEMARK RISK

A dispute you will lose, and costs.

LOSING NAMES TO EXPIRY

Auto-renewal and current payment details prevent it.

TRANSFERRING BEFORE PAYMENT

Use escrow for anything meaningful.

NEVER PRUNING

Holding names for years after it is clear they will not sell.
