I figured I would share a few tools that I use everyday. Most of the tools are paid but they save me time every month and make what I do possible. There are free alternatives but I believe they are inferior.
eBates is a rebate program that pays you quarterly to buy products where you normally shop. They typically give 7-14% cash back at GoDaddy. Whenever I BIN something at GD Auctions, I do so with this program. It's easier to remain competitive when you are saving more money than the competitors are.
Dropping is a web application that pulls feeds for dropping/auctioning domains. I personally use the API to pull the feeds the morning of. You can chose to pull it for the following day as well, however, the feeds aren't complete. This is a great tool but it can take hours to sort through the lists, which is time some of you may not have.
Data is a business database that allows you to pull information on specific individuals or specific companies. It is great for outbound efforts and helps eliminate some of the guess work when looking for contact details. This website is also the cheapest I have found while also being the most user-friendly. It's worth checking out if you're serious about domaining.
Tout is an application that allows you to send customizable bulk email campaigns. More importantly, it allows you to track the emails. You are able to see the number of views, where it has been opened/forwarded to, and track sales. It's a must use for me. Just don't use it to spam.
DomainIQ is a must have for anyone doing outbound. I personally believe emailing domainers with a for sale domain is spam. I make sure everyone of my emails gets sent to a real enduser and this tool allows me to do just that. Further, it's vital (when conducting high value purchases) to ensure the domain has not been stolen. Using the history feature allows you to see who's previously owned it. You can bet if I was spending 5 to 6 figures, I would be contacting the previous owner to make sure it wasn't stolen.
Estibot is a great tool for quickly getting data on large groups of domains. If you are mining the drop lists daily, this is a must have. I won't argue with you about the appraisals, all I will say is I do not use them nor do I care they are there. I have the pro plan so I get the rest of their suite for free. It actually saves me money every month.
