Selling domains via outbound starts with:
- Buying a name that can sell
- Digging out potential buyers
- Setting up an Email campaign
- Follow-ups
- Negotiate
- Close and repeat
A good name indeed sells itself but not if you rely on outbound because for that, you have to reach out to them, and before you knock on their doors, you got to find them.
There are many ways to find buyers for a domain name like – Google, Linkedin, Crunchbase, Social media, Dotdb.com, etc., and in this blog post, I’ll share how you can find more buyers for your domain via Craigslist.
Craigslist is a website for viewing, posting jobs, local advertisements, etc., it’s free to use, and you can find a listing for almost anything on Craigslist jobs, apartments, garage sales, used cars, personal ads, and a whole lot more.
How To Find Them On Craigslist
Suppose you own a domain in the plumber niche e:g HoustonPlumbingServices/com. This is the GEO domain name, so your targeted buyers will be in Houston.
Go to Craigslist.com, and on the right side click on Cl worldwide
Then click on Americas – United States
Find Texas and click on Houston
And on the search bar, type plumber, and over here, you’ll see all the advertisements related to plumbers in Houston.
On the top corner, click on the reply
And it might show you as an email address either as a Gmail, business email, or something like – [email protected].
Don’t worry about the weird email address; this is the email address of the person who posted this ad; if you send an email to this address, it will go directly into their inbox.
You can go through as many listings you want, just make sure they are relevant to your domain name and add them to your email list.
Similarly, you can find more leads by going back to the Houston page and click jobs
And on the search bar, type plumber, and over here, you’ll see all the advertisements related to plumber’s jobs in Houston.
Why contact them?
Based on my experience, if someone is hiring, it is always a green signal that they are growing, so this might be the right timing to approach them, and in outbound, you can’t just force a sale timing matters a lot.
Likewise, you can find buyers for your domain in different niches, such as electricians, dentists, law, cleaning, etc.
Remember, outbound can be a volume game. More buyers mean you have more chances of selling the domain and make sure your email list is laser targeted.
Add them to your email list and launch your email campaign. That’s it for now, and I hope this help.
Namaste🙏
