How to Sell Domain Names?

Add some free hosting to the domain (Github allows you to create pages for a domain of your choosing, for free). Then add a contact email so prospects can get in touch if they want the domain. Then you just give them the transfer code upon payment. Only caveat, they have to trust you to give them the transfer code, which is why you should probably use a middleman to broker the deal. And there's plenty of 'domain flipping' services to do just that:

I wouldn't dismiss the domain brokers ideas but wouldn't be too caught up with them, either, unless you have tried it yourself first. There are domain auction sites. You might start there with a handful and see how it goes. I get solicited all the time for domain names that brokers think I might be interested in due to my industry. But I've already established a reputation with the brands/URLs I have, so I'm not in the market. The people to solicit are those who are formulating a brand strategy but need a catchy name. Those people are hard to find You would have to know what people are thinking when they are CONSIDERING starting a brand. Here's a place to get started with a few and see how it goes: https://themeisle.com/blog/premium-domain-name-for-sale/

>”I was talking with a domain broker at a party a few months ago and he was telling me that he does "outreach", hiring an offshore call center to cold call brands whose interesting dovetails with his domains.”

I am genuinely curious as to how successful this actually is. I suspect it isn’t. I can’t imagine many businesses or brands are receptive to buying a scalped domain name because they were intrigued by an unsolicited call from an offshore call center.

Chances are, these entities have already gone through the trouble of trying to get a good domain name and have passed on whatever names have already been parked/speculated on by some “domainer” (scalper) and have chosen an alternative that hasn’t already been bought and works well enough for them.

How about you see if you can sell some of them yourself first before raising capital to try and outsource sales.

You’ll be selling the idea that someone else may be able to sell these domains vs. just selling some of the domains yourself.

Also, since there is no real downside, why don’t you just post the list of them here to see if folks have ideas or want to buy them.
