Creating a unique website to display your domain names for sale is a great idea. A domain portfolio website can give you good exposure and potentially loyal customers. Portfolios today can also be interactive and feature rich too!
I know of several domainers who have live portfolios accompanying their blogs and services, and still others who prefer to do things privately through email and newsletters. Both of those methods can be a powerful and personal way of selling domains.
Some, like myself, like to do a little bit of everything by listing domain names in popular aftermarkets like Sedo or Afternic in addition to posting sales on domain forums, email newsletters, domain marketplaces, and even Twitter.
So what about you? Please respond in our poll…
Loading ...I have found my best sales results come from direct sales to people visiting my domain portfolio pages. You can place your portfolio website address in email and forum signatures to spread the word to your associates, friends and social networking contacts.
Having your own portfolio website can open up new avenues for building contacts and reaching potential end users.
My personal domain portfolio has evolved over the years. Initially it was placed as a simple page addition on my personal blog which proved hard to update, then I customized various portfolio scripts to my liking, but finally opted to build a custom site using WordPress.
Some of my domain portfolio is now found at AQDN.com – Affordable Quality Domain Names. I have not had a chance to update in awhile (I have been buying names more than reselling lately). However, be on the lookout for some fresh names and new features at my portfolio soon. You can also follow @AQDN on Twitter.
I would suggest you keep things simple by using an open source software like WordPress. While it is primarily a blogging CMS, there are features built in for keywords, categories, posts and pages that are perfect for building out a domain portfolio.
Do solid domain research and a little marketing know how to get your portfolio website off on the right foot.
