Episode notes
Slower Midyear Sales Pace
- Andrew Alleman has 27 domain sales through mid-October and feels the pace is slower than last year despite similar mid-year counts.
- He notes a potential strong year-end rally is needed to match last year's total of 51 sales.
Afternic Dominates His Sales Channel Mix
- Most of Alleman's sales occurred on Afternic with 20 of 27 sold there, and he points listings to Afternic widely.
- He rarely uses Afternic Boost and prefers buy-now pricing and passive sales.
Cold Email Targeted Buyers
- Do outbound outreach when you know a geo or niche well because targeted cold emails can convert quickly.
- Alleman cold-emailed two dozen real estate agents and sold one domain for $4,000 after acquiring it for ~$500.
