I’ve been buying domains for a few years now. \u00a0Every time I have an idea for a project, I go and buy a domain for it. \u00a0Sometimes the project idea actually gets implemented and lives for a while. \u00a0Most of the time I just put it on the shelf. \u00a0I keep domains for two-three years just in case I go back to the project and then I expire them. \u00a0A few domains I keep longer, in hopes of selling them later. \u00a0 I sold a few domains before to clients of mine, but I’ve never sold anything to an unknown party.<\/p>\n
Today I did. \u00a0Well, technically it took longer than just today. \u00a0But today the deal is officially closed. \u00a0I put one of my domains – slonn.com<\/strong> – on the auctions at GoDaddy and someone bought it for $500 USD. \u00a0While I could have bargained for a better price, I really didn’t want to. \u00a0It’s a 5-letter .com domain with no promotion, no prior website. \u00a0I had it for about 5 years. \u00a0I thought the price was about right and GoDaddy made the rest of the procedure\u00a0ridiculously\u00a0easy.<\/p>\n I have a few domains up for sale, but at the rate it goes, I don’t expect it to be my primary source of income any time soon. \u00a0Heck, it won’t even qualify for business by any measure. \u00a0Just a little extra PayPal cash.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n I’ve been buying domains for a few years now. \u00a0Every time I have an idea for a project, I go and buy a domain for it. \u00a0Sometimes the project idea actually gets implemented and lives for a while. \u00a0Most of the time I just put it on the shelf. \u00a0I keep domains for two-three years … Continue reading Sold domain – slonn.com<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1,2,62,1334],"tags":[1762,2470],"keyring_services":[],"class_list":["post-14457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general","category-personal","category-technology","category-web-work","tag-domain-names","tag-godaddy"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
