discuss How has January 2024 been for you so far?

[phaethon]

Well, @twiki, used to start this kind of threads, but he is gone now?
My January has been dry, no sales and only 2 enquiries. My last sale was in November (3K).
I have 500 names now and I had 15K sales in 2023.
I'm trying my best to build a quality portfolio, holding only names that really worth a renewal fee.
What about you?

Quite strange
Got a mid xxx$ sale on a .org and a 8K sale on sedo that didn’t went through.
A couple of low ball leads and nothing more

I was lucky to have a 4K sale as my first ever sale in domaining back in 2022. While it felt great to have such a high sale as your first one, that probably was a bit misleading as well, because I increased the prices of my names to similar levels in 2023. I probably lost a couple sales due to high prices. Many leads went nowhere. My prices are reasonable for 2024.

 

[Yanosh]

Yeah , it might be a double edged sword.
The same thing happened to me.
I started domaining about April 2023 and it went very well so far.
I’ve had 5 sales , 3 of them in 4 fig range
My guess is I got very very lucky , nothing more.

I’m a newbie in the domain industry, wish me best of luck
I’m still learning

Welcome, and best of luck to you.

If you had to name 5 things you learned about domain investing in January, which would you name?

Being creative
To always make sure one is following the domain trend
To always go for 1-3 worded .com domain
One should be patient enough while making research
One should always treat domain investing as a business

Disappointing!

 

[Constantin S]

Pretty decent with 2x 1k sales (both reported on NP) I guess the reason is because about 2 months ago I decided to cut prices by around 30% as I'm planning to transit away from domaining.

Not gone, just having no time to post anymore, long story.

Just one xxxx range sale this month. Fingers crossed as 30/31th usually bring sales.

Hello everyone, It's good to meet you all as I'm new here.

 

[ravidesai]

Just good as Sold a Website at low $xxxx and Some low $xx range domains.

Expecting more sales in coming months.

 

[VivifyDomains]

Depressing, 0 since December til now

I've had single blinding months in the past but in general I don't think my sales would ever stand up to monthly scrutiny. I always like to look back on Year-to-Date, Keeps everything in perspective. I'm quite fascinated by those that can identify / predict good months or even good times of the month must be quite some rolling turn-over

 

[phaethon]

Last year I had no sales till April that I had 2 x 3K and one 3K sale that did happen last minute.
All those in three consecutive days in April, while I had no sales from November to March.
My 2024 portfolio is larger and better in terms of quality and pricing than last year's portfolio, let's see what happens.

January has been pretty weak in the end, broke even I guess. February so far, only tiny clearance sales. But who knows. Keeping positive. Domaining is the long game.
