Have you had any success identifying, reaching, making sales to end users via Twitter?

Thinking outside the box (my cranium), Twitter has been around for many years (in interweb time) and during that time I haven't seen "a report" - which is much less than "many reports" - that Twitter has been used successfully in "identifying, reaching, making sales to endusers".

It's POSSIBLE that in one or two or three cases Twitter has played a role in moving a domain. That's not the kind of data that would support spending time using Twitter to market domains. YMMV.

Yes, I have, but to users I already had a relationship with.

There's an understandable degree of diffidence on social media.

However, I had plenty of success (for cheap sales) on the NameCheap marketplace and on forums. :)

n0tSEO - By saying "I already had a relationship with them" do you mean you used Twitter to move inventory to other domainers / domain speculators?

I mean domain buyers (not speculators, just webmasters looking to buy a new domain for cheaps) I had already talked to (or developed professional/personal relationships with) in the past.

Yes, they found my ads on Twitter, DM'd me (if they were among my followers) or emailed me and I got the domain moved to them.

FWIW n0tSEO, I just scanned your Twitter feed. I saw references to you offering for sale / flipping domains for $10.00, mostly .info domains, some of which incorporated trademarks.

I guess if anyone is working / hustling the ~$10.00+ market Twitter may provide a degree of access to buyers.

I tend to have my greatest success when people reach out to me. Indeed, I have yet to do any outreach.

How do you plan to do outreach?

That might spark an interesting discussion. :)

Webwork's method of outreach is to acquire domains of such high quality that people come to him begging to buy! :)
