phreddie: This yr marks my 3rd year doing importation biz, and now i even make more money selling info-products on how to start importation biz. Its has been very profitable and i plan to open an online shop in 2013. By the grace of GOD!

shakur1234: am so happy for you and i would like to to have one or two words with you cos am planning going into it soon.i would soon resign from work.my contact is 08024462210 or salamishakiru@yahoo.com

okpara ugo: In less than 2years of being in business, i have learnt that a businessman should have various streams of income. Having made a crossover from white collar to entrepreneurship 18months ago, i learnt that seasons affect businesses ''a lot''. To keep afloat, you lay your eggs in many baskets.

I trade cement which has a ''serious'' glut right now. Am into transportation for the yuletide season. Hoping to get into 'oil' business(dont ask me what type of oil).

I hate going broke. 2013 go hear am.

#All nah by God's grace##

So u can actually know who is trying to register a domain u already have? Interesting!

I googled how much fb.com was sold for, and what i saw was mind blowing- $8.5million. Still can't believe that someone can buy "air" (something literally empty) for a crazy sum of cash.

2sexy: Nope fb.com isnt empty. It was receiving some traffic, possibly as result of the existence of facebook.com. Therefore, Mark Zukerberge saw the need to acquire it.

In a situation like this, you dont goto meet them, they come to you. This gives you an edge, an upper hand,an advantage to do shakara sef.

Under such circumstance, the smartest thing to do is to do your own research and find out who the buyer is. Sometimes you could find info and sometimes you may not.

So maybe the seller did his research and found out who the buyer is. Transactiona like this are rare to come by and I dont think it was a day process. dont be surprise that it may have taken up to 5 months or even a year because big companies are like snakes when dealing with you. They will hire someone on to come to you. The person could even come with an email address from yahoo.com or gmail.com. the reason is just to buy the domain for as cheap as possible but if you are very experience in something like this, you will know how to handle them.


For instance, a friend gave a story of how someone contacted him using a yahoo email and pretended to be something else. They started at a very low price but ended up selling that particular domain for $12000.

but another determining factor is the shortness of the domain. In domaining, the shorter the better. talking abou fb.com, 2,3,4 letter domains are highly priced because they are brandable, short and catchy. You also consider the age of the domain in this case. Maybe fb.com had been with seller for 5 years or so...

that's all I can say for now.

antontech: @2sexy,i hv waited for smtime but will buy your book b4 18th of january.Pls and working on getting the fund and my plan for 2013 is for my bulksms to hv a breaktrough contract.

albacete: mr moderator, why am i seeing "This post has been hidden" in place of my post?
It seems to me that u are getting power drunk with this little role that u've been given. Be careful oo.

@2sexy, what i mean by empty is that a domain doesn't have any financial costs like hiring a web developer or database administrator (or does it?), it is just a name.

So it means that one can sell a domain much higher than a full fledged website, right? Depending on demand.

2sexy:

not really much higher. But if you consider the wahala in setting up a website, marketing and all that, domaining is quite less stressful. just the name, park am for anywhere, then sell later. na d quality of the name be the koko

albacete:


Ok..Tnx. Will give it a shot soon.

And tomorrow, someone will copy all these stuffs u've explained into an ebook and put a price tag on it.

Keep up d good work bro.

2sexy: copy? I havent really said anything here... I am not stupid to tell the real koko na...

timbros: OP how do you expect people to come share their business plans for 2013 when you dont lead by example? Did I hear you say the thread is not about you but about others? You go wait tire to hear other people's business plan when you are hiding yours...
