What is your average number of domain name sales each month?

I am going to be selling domain names along with hosting, design, etc...

So if you also provide those services.. i would love to know what type of sales you receive.

Also what is the ratio of new hosting or design customers/domain name purchases through you?

Thanks for the help!

How do you THINK that out? :D Okay, my calculation is that ALL eNom resellers together sell about 3,000 names a day on average.

How is an estimate of 40/year?

40? Per YEAR? It's not worth the hassle for that amount. I'd simply throw them in as freebies.

I'm not going to be marketing it big. Just providing it to throw into mainly local hosting packages. Will be teaming up with a web design firm to offer a so say all in one package type deal... hosting, site design, domain name, coding.. the works...

wouldn't mind 5 or so a month.

Forgot to mention in the first post.. this isn't my main source of business..

It will be a service through a hosting company.

We make nice extra money offering it at the WildWest Min price. We registered about 2000 years of domains last year from may on (not breaking out how those are sold, most in 2year chunks).

Wildwest also has some nice extras that they sell - private domains, traffic blazer etc - that don't compete with your hosting business, but just take a click of a button to start offering. Makes for a nice bonus check every month, take that money put it back into advertising for your hosting and it really works out nice.

If you give them away, you will get requests for more, since they are so cheap you can give them away...

Sorry, do you mean you actually DID that or are you suggesting me to verify that by doing so? :D
