Hobi Michalec shares tips to sell your domain names.
This week I chat with domain broker Hobi Michalec with domain brokerage Lumis. Hobi shares 7 methods to sell your domain names. While you’ve surely thought of some of them, I learned a lot from listening to these tips of the trade. Hobi also has some advice for people who struggle to get on the phone to close sales.
Also: Unlimited .org prices? Tucows buys Ascio, AppDetex raises funding, dot-brands, Honeywell and more.
This week’s sponsor: Name.com.

Andrew, could you enable a user setting to change the playback speed, like what YT has? I think it might have been there many months ago.
John says
I’m at option #2, exposure. So here we go again. A broker says get maximum exposure, but Rick S. says when you list everywhere it makes you look weak or desperate or however he put it.
John says
Don’t list with NameJet unless you want the Estibot figure to appear with your listing. (Bad.)
John says
This was a good conversation.
Spike says
Great interview!
Arpit Agrawal says
If there were a 2x speed thing(which I usually prefer), that could be a great value add.
3 factors: Price, time and quality!!
#1: Landing Page
#2: Maximum exposure. Put if everywhere
#3: Articulate the interest you receive. Communicate with the broker about a particular buyer who have inquired.
#4: Grow leverage and maintain your network of buyers. Grow your network
#5: Find leads(Who, LinkedIN, CrunchBase, DuckDuckGo, other search engines). Try the images search as well.
#6: Don’t over-rely on emails. Pick up a phone
#7: Follow UP and automate this!
I am going to share this one NamePros. This is very useful!
Andrew Allemann says
I’ll look into adding speed controls. In the meantime, you can download a free podcast app on your phone that has speed controls. This will also let you subscribe to the podcast to get new episodes automatically.
John says
I don’t use a smartphone for any of this and just use desktop. Would like to keep it web-based like with YT vids.
