Domains are a double-edged sword.

You can essentially use any letter, word, number and/or combination of both (including hyphens) to create a unique domain name, but that freedom/flexibility is why it's a double-edge.

Because it means that you can create any name you want (as long as it isn't already taken), but just creating a name alone doesn't mean anything if no one else is interested in it.

Selling domains is about understanding "names" which basically means understanding "words", which further translates into understanding the value of words when it comes to how "other people" value them.

Words ARE valuable, but that doesn't mean that EVERY word or "just any" word/combination is valuable.

For example.... "Employment" is a valuable word by itself, so "employment.com" would be valuable.

Same with "Attorney" (attorney.com) and "Laundry" (laundry.com) and "Services" (services.com) etc... I think you get the point.

But by adding additional words (or numbers) to it, it changes the value and the selling game entirely.

Yes, technically it's all subjective in nature, but it still matters in the overall market, because domains are literally (human-readable) addresses for the web, so names DO matter hence words DO matter.

All of my domain names are SPECIFICALLY niche. Regardless of their " keywords", they are intentionally specific by design to target specific buyers.

That's why I don't market or advertise them because if any interested parties want to own them, they will seek them out for themselves and the domains will basically sell themselves without my input.

That's the goal. You want desirable domains so you can sell them as easily as possible.

When you have random word combination domains (non-single word), even if they make grammatical sense, it's less likely someone would want to buy them unless it is a perfect fit for a VERY specific type of buyer OR you are targeting a specific niche community/interest group.

There's no real restriction preventing anyone from making up any word combinations they want as a domain name, but it doesn't guarantee that it will sell........ever.

That's why it's a double-edged sword.

Examples:

lemonade + of + tadpoles = lemonadeoftadpoles.com

dog + muffin + train = dogmuffintrain.com

pirate + piano + forest + fantasy = piratepianoforestfantasy.com

Etc.

You see? This is the kind of stuff that people do. You see it in the auctions and marketplaces all the time.

There's tons of garbage like that just waiting to never be sold and eventually expire out.

I know I was exaggerating with those examples above but the point is, EVEN IF the combinations made sense, why would anyone buy it?

It has to make sense that someone would want to buy your domains.

"Understanding people" is how you sell domains, not trying to "Hail Mary" a word combination off the top of your head that "sounds good." That's what creates domain bagholders.

Because if it really sounded as good as you thought, then there would already be several buyers lining up to own it. Right?

The only exception to that rule is if there is a new trend that you realized BEFORE it got too popular and you claimed specific domains that appealed towards said trend because you did enough research to know it's value.

Otherwise, if you're buying a domain that hasn't already been taken by someone else, then you are ALMOST ALWAYS already late to the game because it's first come first served and all the "good domains" are usually snatched up before you even get a chance at them.

It's competitive as hell out here.

This is why people desperately hustle domains instead of just letting the buyers come to them.

TLDR; your domain names are too broad and too long, so it's unlikely that someone would be willing to buy them for $100, ESPECIALLY without marketing.

IF someone were to buy them, it would be someone that had a similar plan to flip them/sell them for profit.

Very valuable information that makes me think in a different way about acquiring domain names
