Wanted: Domain Appraisal BusinessStartUpGrants

mikins31 · Sep 1, 2015

So GoDaddy - UK domain for £1 - is suppose to be finished now and this one was my last pick.

Pretty sure where this appraisal is going, as domain contains 3 words. Way too long for UK domain, right?

I did thought it's worth a risk though with + .uk, for only £2, maybe I can manage to find a buyer..

By the way I found out that term;

'Business startup grants' has average 1,6K Uk searches, with £3.19 suggested bid - Google Keword Planer.

Would be nice to hear your opinion!

This is a good investment of £1. The thing is, you have managed to register a very specific term which people are going to be interested in, plus these are potentially good people to market to, as new business owners will be interested in a host of services. So, I think the domain itself is good. There is definitely potential in this term. The harder part is actually convincing someone else to buy the domain from you for a decent amount. I see the potential, so I think it would be worth someone buying it, but it's still difficult to make people see it's worth their investment when they could easily choose a free to reg alternative.

What are your plans for the domain?

Thanks @accelerator for quite detailed and very helpful reply.

Well I am certainly not going to develop this domain name myself. I managed to pick up near 100 UK domains just in last few days. So I already got full hands with projects to get started on and my mind been working over time with new ideas and domain lists still running in front of my eyes after this weekend.

So story told short, idea is to sell it. Probably even for resell value. Although I've already listed domain on few classifieds sites and couple sale platforms (like Ebay) I would consider discussing possibilities to sell the name to fellow Acorn members.
