Parking revenue for August 2013

Parking-revenue-for-August-2013Hello and Assalamo Alaikum,

Last month I said my revenue may drop because I will be tweaking some of my domains in order to maximize the profit but almost every time the changes I make goes the other way. I don’t mind if that happens because this is what keeps me going and we should never stop learning.

Although I manage to make over $500 for the month of August 2013 which was not bad for me even after making several changes. However, I hope to have similar or a little better this month’s parking revenue because I will be testing this month as well so things can go either way.

Also I would like to share with you guys that I have recently checked my total number of domains which has crossed over 300 mark and as previously mentioned in one of my post that my target is to have 500 domains by the end of this year and it seems my calculation is correct so far…

In the meantime, I am dropping several domains this year and my focus is to buy and sell mostly .com domains only. They are easy to sell compare to any other TLDs or ccTLDs.

Care to share how much did you made from previous month’s domain parking?

Why you should check your spam box

Why-you-should-check-your-spam-boxHello everyone,

It’s quite long since I published last post. It was a busy last month due to some personal reasons. However, I sold another domain last month. Normally Google mail filters the good and bad emails correctly but sometimes it doesn’t so we need to check that. I received an inquiry in my spam box which I was just going to delete it and saw my domain name in the subject so I just stopped there. I moved that domain under inbox and read it. I found that inquiry to be legitimate and I responded back with the asking price. Within a week we settled in four figures range and the deal was done successfully.

The best part was the buyer wanted to pay me first privately. He wired the funds in my bank and later I transferred the domain to him. He even paid the wire fee for both parties so I ended up receiving full amount. However, I have decided not to share the domain this time as well and most of the time won’t share it due to some reasons. I could see the domain has been listed for sale. I didn’t knew the buyer is reseller but I feel I got the right money for that domain.

In the end I would suggest you to check your spam box clearly and simply do not delete all email immediately without going through them. It was my first deal successfully closed which was received in spam box. Now I closely monitor my spam mails before deleting it. Make sure you guys do it as well.

So have you received domain inquiry in spam and completed the deal successfully?
