Spring cleaning domain style

Spring is on the horizon here in the UK and my spring cleaning is long overdue!

I think I have used the phrase “I am not a domainer” many times but my domain list is starting to bulge and I have to question more and more the reason for what I am holding. There are certainly some long term plays in my list like ledbulbs.co.uk but I also have a lot of domains that I bought at the start or gathered on the way that were just nice domains/words and I have no long term plans for.

So I have recently grabbed the bull by the horns and plan to sell some off, I will still struggle to keep my total numbers down as I have gathered another 13 domains this month so far, my problem being I like to drill down and own a topic as much as possible if I find something I like.

So for example I like Genomics.co.uk - but then I would read more do homework and secure HumanGenome.co.uk and afterwards I’d ponder on the commercial uses of genomes in the future and then secure MyGenome.co.uk and so it continues

So how do I plan to sell on some domains and do my spring cleaning?
I am underway already, last September I made a post on datamining your own stats for available domains and through this I picked up domains like HomeOfficeDesks.co.uk for reg fee, managed to flip that on for £350 this month, I started by entering the keyword(s) into Google and targeting the Adword advertisers -it stands to reason they value the keyword already and do not need convincing as much as others, I think I sent about 30 emails and secured a deal on the same day I did it.

There is also more money being spent on the mid range UK domains from companies and outside investors, if you scan the forums you will see more posts like this one, from which I sold a domain and am in negotiations about another couple. Ultimately an end user gives the best price but in a marketplace that has more people coming to the table it’s possible to profit by quickly flipping to other investors.

I now open my lists of domains at least once every 2 days and go through the list and spend time thinking, looking and emailing possible end users to try and make deals on the domains I have no development plans for - it has meant for February I managed to take in enough to cover the domain purchases I have made, that’ll please the wife no end

I’ll finish by listing a few for sale at the moment:
I have Camera Bag for sale for GBP £1000 if that interests anyone, currently ranks No.1 in Google.co.uk could be a great affiliate or small business opportunity for someone.

MiniSites.net £1200 :: Fastbox.co.uk £50 :: DigitalPictureFrame.co.uk £1500 :: Subs.co.uk £850 :: Outsider.co.uk £750 :: Reversed.co.uk £100 : Scraping.co.uk £100

Note: UK domains are subject to paperwork and a Nominet fee of £11.75 when changing registrant details.
