People often ask me about my sell through rate. Sometimes when they do I mentally plan to figure it out, but then I start trying to figure it out and give up. I stop mainly because it’s a pain in the ass for me to do, and I feel like I could use the time doing something to improve whatever that rate actually is rather than figure it out.
In reality, it’s a hard number to pin down, because it’s a dynamic environment. The number of domains I own fluctuates daily, based on the amount of time I spend searching, money allocated to new domains, renewals and if I auctioned off any expiring names wholesale. The bottom line is that if I don’t sell domains I don’t buy as many, I renew less and auction more.
I don’t think there’s a right formula. Every domain sold to an end user is based on timing more than anything else. There’s no magic number to shoot for or percentage of sales that’s acceptable. You need to have confidence in your names that someone or some company will eventually want them. You should re-evaluate this confidence level at least every year before you renew the domain.
I know that I can sell a bunch of names wholesale if I choose and have a really high sell through rate. I know that I can price my domains from $300 to $999 and sell more domains than if they’re priced $2K-$5K. There is no right answer to this, it’s different for every style and can change at anytime.
I’ll repeat this point again: You have to have confidence in your domain. Not the obnoxious confidence that says it’s the best domain in the world, but confidence that it has a reasonable chance of selling at some point to an end-user because its the kind of name that an end-user wants.
If you think your names are awesome but then try really hard to hustle them to other domainers you don’t have confidence in them. Don’t get me wrong there’s nothing wrong with cash flow, wholesaling and moving inventory, but it shouldn’t be your end game.
So maybe ill still try and figure out some ballpark sell through number for a specified period of time. I’m sure there’s value to the data, but it gives me chest pain trying to organize that by myself. Maybe I’ll hire some sort of organizational specialist and have them do it. Play to your strengths, I gave up trying to stay super organized years ago, because I suck at it. Should I learn anyway? Probably.
