Don't even try that you might leak your credit card details via that u can't trust all these VPN just use your normal IP and details once u have a good domain a buyer will surely locate u

Thanks for the reply. I read about your complaint on how naija identity made you lose a biz. I want to register on godaddy but i'm thinking of using a US IP. What your advise on these ?

That was old story, such can never happen again, now there are many escrow services and now domains are sold on cash and carry from many auctions. So there is no more problem for Nigerians to sell domain again. The worse now is they will make sure you are going to deliver the name. Paypal, skrill and payza and many more are there if you are selling on namepros.com etc.

You don't need to hide your identity anymore. But that is not to say you shouodbexpose your credit card info. OK?

So use Nigeria address for your registrations any time any day.

Cheers.

It's just like a check. Lol. It will be posted to your postal address.
You then open a domiciliary account with either of these Banks; UBA, Eco Bank, Stanbic IBTC. You lodge the check into your Dom account and wait....

Which PayPal account do you have?
Just use your email address that is not linked to any PayPal account.

The check they sent to me 3 Months ago is still not cleared, I don't know it takes forever for UBA to open Domiciliary account... cheesy

Re: Domain Name Business; The Easiest & The Most Profitable Online Venture by AMZYMAYO(m): 10:25pm On Oct 02, 2016
Let me just drop a little bit of my findings so far.

1. A CPC of zero is bad for packing- Believe me, this is far from the truth. I bought a domain: Kornmeat.com to test this circulated notion. The domain has an SG (global search) of 0 and CPC of zero . However, the domain is sitting on some quality backlinks: T-17 and C-26 (I hope you understand what those mean). So, I was expecting to get paid for NOTHING. But guess what? For two non-American clicks, I was paid 0.81 dollars (not much, but I was paid). So, what I found out is that you get paid based on the amount committed by the advert being displayed on your domain, and whe| the traffic clicking on your ad comes from (You get paid more for a traffic coming from the US).

2. Good and Bad domains- Except trademark domains, unnecessarily long domains, and some other not-so-important criteria, I don't see any domain as bad. Seriously! In my few months of domainining, I have seen some awkward domain sell. For instance, smile.com sold for whooping 18k last week (I'm sure most of you wouldn't have bought that if you see it lying around). Also, on namepros, I have seen a lot of domains you consider "bad" sell for good profit. Don't get me wrong, I never said you should go around registering every name you come across. As a matter of fact, I'll still suggest you stick to the laws Oga Iyke gave in the beginning of this thread.

For instance, I bought repelle.com- a misspelled domain that you might have seen people complain, "they're bad." But guess what? I sold it for $750. Learn to follow your instinct, rely on bots: estibot, domainindex, etc . minimally. Learn to follow your instinct, and be up to date.

3. Nairaland is Enough- My dear, you need to study more outside nairaland. Visit namepros, watch YouTube videos, learn from the Masters, and then you'll carve out the best plan for yourself.

4. All the secrets have been shared- I pity you! As a matter of fact, no body would share the secret of the location of the treasure with you. All they, including me, is to tell you what we consider an "ok" information with you. Experienced domainers have one or two secrets that enable them sort out our "presumed bad domains" from the good ones (or in my word: the good ones from the outstanding ones). Some have scripts written for them by savvy programmers. I know you don't have the capacity now, but you need to carve your own way in this business if you want to be successful.
Re: Domain Name Business; The Easiest & The Most Profitable Online Venture by AMZYMAYO(m): 10:25pm On Oct 02, 2016
5. Domain is all you need to survive- Oh! You might meet a big shocker if you're unable to sell any of your domains withing the 365 days period. Since I began this business, I've had only a single sale. And I kept sending messages to potential customers with no headway. Of course some people rely on domain for a living, but if you can't match their financial strength, then, bros, have a side work. Personally, I'm into freelancing, and it's easy for me to purchase my domain with my earned dollars. And if, for instance, I'm unable to sell any other domain again, the one I sold has reg the remaining portfolio of my almost 50 domains for another year- with profit.

6. You'll sell in 1 year--Sorry o! Anyway, you might be LUCKY. But domain business is not for people looking for quick money. As a matter of fact, I read recently of a man that held on to a domain for 11 years, yes, 11 good years. So, just hope your domain sell- within 1 year.

7. Goldmine--You know the definition of "goldmine" in domain? One word, 2-3 numbers, dot com and probably other extensions. If you don't have that one, then your domain is good. Or if luck comes your way like that guy that reg a domain for $9 and sold it for over 200k within 1 week. Ayaff died! . What I'm simply saying is, try to shoot to kill the single English word domains. And when you are lucky to get them, people will beg you to sell.

Thanks for reading. If I have more observations, I'll gladly share with you.

I beg to differ on this...seriously are you kidding me? If Smile.com sold for $18k, I will like to think it's under-sold! it's end use includes anything that can make you smile from winning a lottery, facial surgery, discount sale...miracle! It's a fiver word...a very popular and endearing one at that.
