I find it suspicious that a domain name that good, that popular is on GD closeouts.
Why did other domainers skip on it?

Is it yours? But the domain was renewed until 2017-08-08. You are not sure of what you said.

Yes.

You can set up a Payoneer Escrow for your buyer to pay and receive the funds on your Payoneer account.

Many of the barriers in this business are disappearing. Anyone who was here in 2013 can tell you how difficult some things were during that time.

Ensure that you read, study and research properly before entering it else you would waste funds.

Sorry to be blunt, madam, but if you don't know this basic fact about domains, I suggest you stay away from domaining.

Stay far away, it is mother freaking hard. You're better off trying Fiverr, that's easier and you will receive tons of help everywhere.

There's even an FB group for Naija Fiverr newbies.

Compared to this solo, sweat-inducing, near gambling, scam-filling, information misleading, high-risk business known as domain names business.

At least, in Fiverr, there's no chance you go enter court case.

Just my two cents.

Why are you in domaining biz.if it is impossible to make money in it. You have said, the biz is full of missleading. You are now missleadding somebody.

Domaining only need you to be serious and hard working. You first of all need to understand what makes good domains. You can have the knowledge by reading from blogs to forums and after knowing good domains. You can start buying from drop market, good domains are very rear available, though, you can still get very few for hand regs but they are very rear. If you have good money, you can buy cheap one from namepros.com when the owners needs money, they usually bring them to auction.

Domain biz is like every other business that requires training, you can not just jump and become millionare whithout learning the real rudimentry of the biz.
Just start learning and forget about buying any domain and give your self time to read and read.

Nigerians likes quick money and that is why we are facing challenges with domain biz. Do not waste your money to buy whithout proper learning and put exact what you learn in practice and you can.make money. It is not a biz to make you millions overnight, but I am saying it categorically that you can make good money from domaining.

I never said it was impossible. I said it's hard. The learning curve is steep compared to other businesses.

Capital is required, selling and negotiation skills are a must. Luck also plays a crucial role.

My aim is not to mislead. Are you telling me that every single domain you have ever bought was a success?
Have you included the exchange rate problem?
What about trademarks? Domain theft? PayPal charge back scam?

Be honest, guy, 80% of the names in Name pros are utter crap and/or expiring. The good ones are bided upon by pros and the money is on the high side. Don't get me started with drop-catching. As you said, good domains are rare.

Guy, you're talking like Nigerians are patient people.
How people will really be patient to learn and learn? How many will really do deep research?
They are eager to start after a few tidbits.

People in general, think of domaining as the get rich quick overnight scheme. I don't blame them. The media is misleading. 90% of domains don't sell for that much.

Perhaps I should reframe it. Domaining should not be your first online business in this economy unless you seriously love and you are obsessed with it.

To quote you:

Do not waste your money without proper learning. It is not a business to make you millions overnight, but I am saying it categorically that you can make good money from domaining if you read like fùck. Plus having a good mentor is a must. Avoiding newbie mistakes such as relying in Estibot, buying hyphenated domains e t c


I greatly apologize to Brightgem if this is not her first online biz.

#smiles I had zero knowledge about what it meant to own a blog in January, today I have one that on a good day pull 150+ visits, I did the initial set up myself through research and a tutorial vid offered by a friend till I moved to self hosting I had help which I got right here from webincomeplus. I must sound very ignorant for u to want me to stay away, but is the worst risk not taking any risk at all? I know it will have its pros and cons as I have been reading, but its all about doing what u need to with saness. Thanks. I have indeed noted ur warning.

Thank you. I apologize for generalizing as many newbies just think that they can enter domaining.
I like your opinion about the risks, something tells me you will go very far in domaining.
Happy Sunday.

capital is very important in every new business set up but in domaining, knowledge is more important. Why many people have failed to make a big impart in domaining is lack of basic knowledge. You can make money from forex trading, yea many guys have hit it from forex (though I don't recommend it) but if you don't know the in and out of forex, no matter your capital nothing will come out of it infact you may be forced to conclude that forex is a scam, same thing goes for other online businesses.

You have said it all

The reason why I recommend capital before knowledge is because there was a time I was doing my domain hunting then I came across one domain, but I dont have any cash in my account that day .. so when I try to register it the next day ... Phew it has been taken

I later saw the domain on flippa going as higher as 2k$ ( but the owner didn't sell it) reserve not met

That's quite interesting and will left you disappointed but this is a very common case. Even a little network delay can cause it too.

You've made wonderful points already. Gambling and business are not the same. In business chances of making profit is high but in gambling, you have little percentage of winning. Those that goes into a business especially online business without proper exposure is just like they're into gambling, that's why you see domains without any potential selling for crazy amounts.

Yes! they have, but it is not how far, but how well; it is not until you have million domains in your portfolio before you can make money in domining biz. Have moderate properties and make your money and develop your portfolio widely. It is when you know what you are doing before you can develop your portfolio. Do you know one can have millions and they can all be rubbish, scraps. Ok! When they say this business is most profitable, that does not mean anybody can make money from it.

So if you want to make money from this business. Knowing the rudimentary is paramount! Even ordinary barber must learn unless he want to face problem or Alubosa - Onion traders learn the biz before going into it.
Yes, ok! Unless you are calling domaining a betting venture.

I remeber when forex came to Nigeria in 2002 2005 when everybody was going for the trade based on what they were told. Not knowing it was a deceit. people wasted lots of money there, simply because they failed to learn before making money. This is the same thing many are trying to do in domaining now, which should not be so.

So if you want to make money from this business. Knowing the rudimentary is paramount!

I totally agree with expertix. Domaining is simple and fun if u have a grounded knowledge on it. One ought not to venture into it becos he or she sees 4 figures income being raked by someone else. A careful research and study will do u alot of good. As a matter of fact, i've been silently following iykepromotions rules and principles in domaining and have also been doing good background research for over 5 months now.
