Update – July 2020<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Praveen has sold $225k USD worth of domains in the last three years. He lists 6 to 7 domains per week on average and 30-35 domains per month. Generating $5k to 6k USD per month and $2k to $3k USD profit per month after acquisition costs + promotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips for success:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Build a network and I provide the best support after post a sale. I explain everything and how it works( escrow process, the domain name transfer process). I have sold many domains to the repeated buyers and all are happy customers. All positive feedback so far.

    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Redirect the domain name to the Flippa auction so end-users might type in the browser will be landed on Flippa auctions.

    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Advertising – promote the listing on different platforms like Namebio, domain groups, Twitter, Linkedin

    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Try to outbound outreach for the right domain name. DispatchSoftware.com has many end-users and it has purchased by Dispatch.me for $6k USD 

    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Explain why the domain name is valuable and what will be the development plans in listing sales pitch clearly

    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Do experiments and learn from mistakes. I have sold KidMoney.com for $155 USD but acquired it for $510 USD. Kids or Teens don’t have money unlike Forex professionals or Insurance Agents. Target the right industry and pick ‘call to the action’ domains like Leaking.com, Confirm.io, Order365.com, MomsGuide.com.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      I’m joined here with Praveen Chidaboyina, a long time Flippa user who recently started his own brokerage. He’s now a partnered broker on Flippa and eager to help others sell their domains! Check out our interview below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      What\u2019s your background and how did you get started on Flippa?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      I used to do a full-time job as a web developer and have 5+ years of technology experience. Fortunately, I got\/ created many opportunities and played different roles like Senior Web Developer, Team Lead, and Offshore Delivery Lead during my 5 years in the corporate world. I had experience working with top-notch clients like Pfizer, Mercer, Merkle, Avanade, DigitnityHealth, RideUTA (Utah Transit Portal), Presto (Canadian Govt Transit Website) and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      I used to work more than 10 hours daily during my day, then I started looking for other income and tried freelancing, t-shirt designing and few. One day, I read about domaining on local newspaper and started a hand-registering bunch of crap domains but had no luck in first one year. By the second year, my balance sheet was in green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      I was searching for online auction houses and found Flippa on search engines. I had great success with Flippa and sold most of the domains to end-users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      You have been a user on Flippa for 4 years. How has Flippa changed during that time?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Flippa Escrow and Flippa support improved a lot. Flippa Escrow is one of the fastest Escrow in the current market. QQio.com domain transaction completed within 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Amber (one of Flippa’s broker managers) has helped a lot by promoting qualified listings and it has worked well for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      You have completed over $100,000 in transactions over the past year alone. Can you tell us about that experience?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      I have changed my strategy in mid-2017 since I have enough budget and started purchasing expired domains\/ domains from other marketplaces<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Purchased Renew.al on Namepros for $40 USD then sold it for $305 USD on Flippa and purchased Confirm.co for $284 USD and flipped it for $1051 USD within 45 days. It goes on. Below were few sales (quick flips)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
