The gold mine link on my WhyPark sites has been the "This Site is For Sale" link in the navigation bar. Here is an example of one of my WhyPark sites, AgingList.com. "Aging List" is a term used in business that refers to a list that ages accounts receivable for a company.
By simply clicking "This Site is For Sale" a site visitor is presented with an attractive purchase inquiry form that forwards directly to my email so that I can establish contact and negotiate a sales price. Each month I get between six and ten purchase inquires resulting in two to three domain sales.
Two to three sales a month on average certainly helps make my domaining profitable. I've never paid more than $12 for any of my domains which are all two word brandable names and they're all offered for sale at $950. My sales always seem to be end users who find the domain name by typing a domain they would like into their browser to see if its available. By the very nature of how they found the site, each inquiry is a highly qualified lead. The closing selling price range for my domains are between $450 and $950, a price that end users find very reasonable.
Here are a few examples of domains that I have sold using leads WhyPark generated.
SpaceSlide.com
Sold to Space Slide a UK company that sells sliding doors
CivilTools.com
Sold to the architectural firm of Harper Houf Peterson and Righellis
ChinaQuake.com
Sold to Suicide.org to develop a website to aid victims of the recent earthquake in China
ListVine.com
Sold to a company which is developing a new site.
ParkingHub.com
Sold to a company which is developing a new site (hopefully not a competitor to WhyPark!)
I'll finish this post with a quote reprinted with permission from the buyer of ChinaQuake.com.
"Alan Macomber from WhyPark.com was extremely professional and helpful to Suicide.org during the aftermath of the China earthquake. He sold us an important domain associated with the quake at a reasonable price and got the domain to us quickly. The domain will allow us to reach more people, help more people, and honor more people who were affected by this horrible tragedy.
We strongly support WhyPark.com because their focus is not solely on making money, but running an ethical company that CARES about people and their clients. They are fantastic and we love them!"
