Swetha Yenugula has built a name for herself with .xyz domain names.
Domain name investor Swetha Yenugula has found success in an area that many domain investors haven’t: new top level domains. Specifically .xyz domain names.
Yenugula has sold over 300 .xyz domain names. She says the median price is about $2,000 for roughly $600,000 in revenue. Some of her recent sales include:
Props.xyz $7,888
Split.xyz $7,888
Propel.xyz $2,850
Shimmer.xyz $2,700
Zinc.xyz $3,495
Islands.xyz $3,495
Based on her Twitter stream, she seems to sell 2-3 solid domains every week. She uses DAN.com landers and Afternic’s network.
Most of the domains she sells are one-word .xyz domains.
While many registrars offer first-year .xyz registration for about a dollar, Yenugula has invested quite a bit into registering and renewing her .xyz portfolio. It currently totals 16,000 domains, and she estimates her total investment to be about $450,000.
Congrats
Numbers game as better names sell thru, left holding bad ones, lower sell thru, and eventual
bleed out.
No doubt, she’s got the magic touch.
I’ve got some great one word .xyz domains and have NEVER
got an offer or inquiry. (posters, prints, doors – just to name a few)
Can’t figure this domaining business out.
No one is looking for these names. I own 2,500 .online domains and just ramping my “outbound” marketing strategy to lawyers, doctors, banks, realtors etc. Congrats to Swetha however. Looking over her portfolio at Dan she has some pretty good names that I now have in .online☺
I’m sorry but outbound will not save a portfolio of names that nobody is looking for.
You need to study domains and pick better rather than emailing doctors and lawyers.
who said anything about emailing doctors and lawyers? Do you know what you’re talking about☺
Beyond impressive that Swetha is selling so aftermarket .xyz names, especially at those kind of prices. Must be doing aggressive outbound, because there’s no way these sales are coming from inbound. Kudos to her!
She is just getting started too. Took awhile for xyz to hook. Good for her for things a big educates risk. Yes, it is a numbers game.
.XYZ aren’t selling like hot cakes all of a sudden. Don’t believe everything that you read.
Is this guy still alive ?
