5 tips for using social media to sell domains

Create a logo or brand

A simple logo can really create interest and spark some ideas. It can be as simple as text on a coloured background or for a premium domain it may be worth investing in a freelance designer. This can give the domain substance and provide potential buyers with a springboard to work from.

Use relevant #hashtags

e.g. dogsalon.co.uk could be promoted using hashtags like #doggrooming #poodles and #dogs.

If you’re advertising a domain to sell through twitter then using relevant industry hashtags will put your tweet on the screens of the right people. Remember to always link back to your Sedo “Buy now” page so people interested can buy the domain.

Direct message people that might be interested

On Instagram and twitter you can send people a direct message or “DM” as it’s often called. This can be a great tool to find businesses that may be interested in domains you have for sale. Emails can get junked and phone calls ignored, but a direct message is a great way to contact a business directly.
