New year, new experiment with entire domain portfolio

Hello everyone,

Since everyone now is aware that how the last year ended for my portfolio and I was very much impressed with Afternic who made plenty of sales without even using their Fast Transfers as well as not pointing the domains to their nameservers.

I was suggested by Afternic to try their brokerage service by pointing domains to their nameservers but I wasn’t that much impressed and inclined towards giving it a try until the end of last month which made me think to give them a try at least for few months and see the results.

Today I’ve made the changes and all my domains are pointing towards Afternic nameservers except very few. No doubt that the domain sales will automatically increase due to the brand recognition factor every domain sales lander is having it now.

Another positive side is that I used to receive around 500 inquiries every month with the domain portfolio of little over 3,400 and of course most of those inquiries never convert. And from that too, many of them are not genuine domain inquiries. This way I’ll save enough time to spend other place which is more productive.

The downside is I’ll end up paying commission for every sale, some of which I could’ve converted myself when the leads were coming in directly via Uniregistry sales lander.

The only way I could receive direct inquiry now is via WHOIS which was already coming in rare circumstances so I don’t expect to convert much via this channel.

I’m very much positive and excited with this change and decided after taking considerable time. Will keep you guys posted with the results.

Feel free to give your feedback on this change and/or if any one of you already using this method, kindly share the results with us to understand more clearly.

Thank you!
