It took me six years to reach $1M in domain sales.
After in-depth study, research, and small experiments in 2019, I started with $100k in January 2020 with zero domains and gradually built a portfolio of over 5,000 active domains.
Domain sales from January 2020 to today:
Afternic : $747,370
Afternic LTOs: $35,000
Dan: $109,341
Sedo: $55,000
Spaceship: $17,493
-------------------
Total: $964,204 in domain sales.
Wholesale: Sold over $114,000 in bulk domain deals (all private).
Grand total: $1,078,204 in six years.
I am very grateful to @afternic and all the buyers who purchased my domains. 🙏
Expenditures: Approximately 45%, including marketplace commissions, domain renewals, and acquisitions.
Net profit: 55%, plus a portfolio of over 5,000 active domains that increases in value over time and serves as a cash flow machine for a small family man like me.
Lessons:
1) In the first few years, I lost a few domain deals due to lack of negotiating skills. Their combined value was around $90k.
2) I stopped using DAN and Sedo long ago, as all my domain sales came from Afternic, and I found it time-consuming to list on all marketplaces. Currently, my domains are listed on Afternic and Spaceship only.
3) You all know I wanted to sell my portfolio. I tried my best and even listed it for 9 BTC, but it didn't sell. I received two strong offers but politely declined them, as they were not from domain investors—those individuals came from different backgrounds and had little understanding of domains.
Mistakes
A) I wasted about two years on crypto trading, which caused health issues and sleepless nights; domains are a much better and safer investment.
I wish you all a happy, healthy, and beautiful life full of happiness and prosperity. ✌️😀

I simply sign into my GoDaddy control panel, click the "List for Sale", set a price, and am done.
This removes any previous ownership records in Afternic, if there are any, and it's the most efficient way to do it.
If you're not buying your domains at GoDaddy, then follow the instructions at Afternic that are displayed when you add a domain name.

Sold 2 more domains as part of the @DNAcademy Investor Challenge.
Bought both for $1 plus reg fee.
Pre-sold a 3rd domain that I haven’t received yet ($149).
Noticed @DomainNameWire sold 2 and @NamesCon. 👏

Getting rid of your ego and adopting a student mindset helped me become what I am today. I had over 50K in geo sales when I entered Nigerian domainer groups but my outbound became better and made some amazing friends. Will be making my WhatsApp group public as a shout out.

what is the cheapest escrow service now if you know the buyer/seller?
list your favorite.
I found escrow.domains is weird because they show one price and later it seems different while my buyer paying .
I also use daaz.com to some buyer.
Escrow.com was always first but seem slow.
