Secrets to finding relevant domain names to sell on ebay

I have spent countless hours researching domain names on ebay in addition to interviewing many domainers that have been hugely successful. One common element that I am finding is RELEVANCE in the domain name is absolutely key. What is relevance you ask? Well, it’s simply finding domain names that have actual meaning or words that will be useable for someone.

Does copying others help in this case?

It’s interesting to watch trends on ebay. You see a domain name sell for a lot of money, then soon after, there is a flood of domain names of slight similarity that do not sell. This can drive people to quit domaining altogether.

Niche marketing makes life easier.

One thing I would suggest when searching for domain names is sticking to a niche market while searching. This will save you hours of frustration when looking for domain names. Stick to a topic that you are familiar with. This can be anything…

• Law Domain Names
• Real Estate Domain Names
• Gaming Domain Names
• Domain Names about Domain Names
• Political Domain Names

Take a look below at domain names that are selling on ebay. You will find that MOST of these domains are relevant and meaningful. It’s as simple as that! RELEVANCY IS KEY!
