I am starting, actually started one this week, monthly google hangouts where we will discuss topics that are important to domain investors. The one we aired this week is archived in Youtube and covers using Afternic and the best practices of using it to it's fullest to sell more of your domains.

There are a lot of ways to sell your domains but it's always nice to see what each one has to offer and fits you best so if you have time to check it out and have any comments or questions you can look in youtube for On the Dot Godaddy" and the video should pop up. I am planning on doing these hangouts monthly so we will cover a variety of topics. If you have any suggestions or feedback on any we have done let me know so I can improve. I want it to be helpful to as many people as possible.

This is my first post that's not a comment so I am not sure of the rules about posting external links and what is considered commercial etc. If anyone can let me know I'd appreciate it. I had reached out to a moderator to ask a question about posting but never got an answer. If I am allowed to post a link to it I will.

For those of us not so familiar with Youtube, it would be nice if you could provide a link. There are many external links in this News Section, so it is allowed.

It was a great overview review regarding Afternic... I will submit some domains again as I have had good success with GoDaddy premium and forgot about Afternic.

Great work guys.

Could you provide a summary or bullet points of the highlights? I'm interested in the information, but I don't have the time to watch it.

This is the quick version: https://www.afternic.com/sales-acceleration The hangout goes into more depth and covers real examples of people who have done all three and answers the common questions people have about why/ why not following these tips would help with sales.

What would help with sales, a problem that's been brought up many times before, I think Shane has brought it up many times on his blog. A problem that hasn't been fixed to this point. GoDaddy auction links don't work on mobile, they don't go to the auction when clicked. Will this ever be fixed?

Here is one of the times:

"Has anyone noticed that all links to Godaddy lead nowhere if you use mobile. If you are on your phone you can’t get a direct link to an auction. Even their own emails that say “you’ve been outbid, bid more”. But you can’t bid more without going through the search button. No doubt it costs them a lot more in people not bidding again than it does to fix. I’ve made them aware more than ten times. Several times they’ve said “We’ll look in to it” It’s been a few years and it’s never been fixed. And yet they are a BILLION dollar company. I love them, I use them, and I love the features that do work. But to have a communication that doesn’t link through mobile is not where I see a company of their size wanting to be. "

Yes it will get fixed. I know it is on the developers plate to get mobile working on all areas of the Aftermarket. Thanks for bringing it up.
