This one has hit me so hard. I delivered so many cars for him, he gave me so much advice, we hung out at the shop a couple of times too. He taught me so much. Ah this is painful I’ll never get to see “boss” again. The only person I ever called “boss”

For those asking about teaching job, package your cv very well, and start applying through indeed, TES and so many other agencies. The truth is you only need to be a registered teacher in Nigeria with years of experience to get a job and of course pray very hard. I am a living witness, i got a teaching job directly into a school from Nigeria, i landed in the uk last Wednesday without any help from any body or agency. My school is in Kent, the Lord has been so good to me. If you are a science teacher, your chance is very high provided you are ready to do the hard work of updating your cv, searching for schools and submitting tons applications. Cover letter and personal statement are also very important. All the best


If your first degree isn't in education, can you get this through NTI pgde?

I've followed this thread from page 1 to 40 and glad about the contributions. But one question that has never been asked is will one who just finished bachelors and yet to go for NYSC and applied immediately for masters be questioned on why they didn't wait for nysc during interviews?

They don't care about your nysc. This is the best time for you to apply.

Application starts in October.

How much resources and free time that you have at your disposal is what would eventually influence your choice.

Do you have the money to live in Cotonou, Bénin, whilst attending a French school and engaging a private French tutor to ask questions and put in more practice?

Can you afford to subscribe to online programs while living in Cotonou?

Are you willing to make friends with French speakers in Cotonou to improve your speaking?

Are you willing to also put in time for personal study using books?

Like I said, it all depends on your resources and free time. If you can't afford to do all, then you have to make do with whatever you can afford within your work schedule (if you have a regular job).

In summary, the perfect option is to do everything, but for most people, it is unrealistic to do that because of money and time constraints, either they can't afford it or they can't quit their jobs to live in a Francophone country.

Afternic Experience Of July 2024.


It has been another wonderful last month with Afternic with plenty of sales pouring in especially in the second half of July.

Before I share the sales, I wanted to share a couple of things with everyone:

It was special to give an interview to Afternic, thanks to James Iles.
Once I reach 10,000 domains under my portfolio, I’ll stop sharing the monthly experience of Afternic. The main reason for sharing is always to educate fellow investors about what kind of domains I buy, sell and at what prices.
This doesn’t mean I’ll completely stop sharing the domain sales. I’ll definitely continue to share but only those which I find interesting and there is something to learn from.

Coming back to the sales for the last month:

Mayorov/com – Normally I buy U.S people’s names which are relatively easier to sell than others. This is a Russian surname and sold via BIN for $4,888. Hold time 5 years.

StarGourmet/com – Hold time around 5 years and sold it for $1,988 via BIN.

AvalancheServices/com – A two word brandable domain which can be used for any services related business. A nice deal for the buyer who got it for $2,988 via BIN.

AcRepairNearMe/com – Thanks to Logan Flatt for sharing his sales with the “Near Me” keyword. I studied his sales and point of view on why to buy such domains and why they sell it. That’s the beauty of our industry where such fellow investors like Logan and others share it openly.

This domain had a BIN of $4,888 but after going back and forth negotiations with the buyer, I ended up selling it for $4,000. Hold time less than a year.

PetsPrint/com or PetSprint/com (however you read it) – Another BIN sales for $2,988 and interesting thing about this domain is that one can use it for “Pets Print” or “Pet Sprint” and in this case, the buyer is using as Pet Sprint brand. Hold time 4 years.

LegacyGuild/com – Another $1,988 BIN sale and acquired it 2 years ago via GoDaddy closeouts.

Dogerie/com – This had a BIN of $1,988 but after negotiations, the broker was able to strike the deal for $1,750.

VodkaVodka/com – Another $1,988 BIN sale with the hold time of 4 years.

AmplifySuccess/com – Sold it for $2,988 with a holding period of around 1 year.

HelloHolidays/com – Last month I sold HelloGrowth/com for $9,888 and this month I sold HelloHolidays/com for $5,888. Holding time less than 100 days. Thanks to Umair brother for finding this gem and sharing it with me.

Dutts/com – This had a BIN of $3,988 and the buyer initially came via DomainAgents.com with an opening offer of $1,500 which I declined. I proposed with the BIN price which the buyer declined and came back with a revised offer of $2,000. I declined it again and the buyer presented $2,500 and then $3,000. I said to take it or leave it with $3,988 and the buyer pulled the trigger via GoDaddy search path and bought it at BIN price.

Kicks/CO – Like I always say, I love to invest in .CO domains. Whether it be 1 word or 3L. They do pretty well and I’ve a great STR in selling them at decent prices. This one was another BIN sale at $6,888 with holding time of around 6 years.

SunTravels/com – This had a long story where the buyer came in and vanished countless times before buying it for $20,000. This includes a lot of negotiations with the broker. This domain was priced at $29,888. Hold time around 6 years. I know that usually I provide a discount of 10%-15% but in rare cases, I do offer more than that depending on several factors.

Humanable/com – A great brandable domain which has already been in use right now. This domain sold for $9,888 via BIN. Hold time around 1 year.

TeachShare/com – This one had a BIN of $4,888 and I revised my floor price to $4,500 which the buyer accepted. This one hold time was around 4 years.

FamilyChat/com – Acquired privately for mid-high 3 figures and sold it for $8,000. This one had a BIN of $9,888. Hold time more than 3 years.

DynamicGraphics/com – This one had a longer hold time of 6 years and was acquired via SnapNames. Another $2,988 BIN sale.

There were a total of 17 sales and 3 of them sold for $1,988 each which is not usual. Normally there is a good chunk of $1,988 sales.

The number of inquiries for July 2024 just touched 1,600 which is more than the last few months. This was the second best month of this year in terms of number of leads after January. The total number of domains at the end of July 2024 were a touch over 9,800.

3 were partner registrar sales.
8 sales via GoDaddy search path.
6 sales via Afternic lander.

Total acquisition + holding costs (which includes transfers and renewals) was around $4,500 and the total amount of sales was $87,706.

I wanted to thank my Afternic rep Adam Ramsdell and the brokers who were involved in making the deals smoothly and professionally.

The above costs and sales amount may look out of the world for some investors but there is one important thing to keep in mind that I’ve invested in 7 figures (USD) for acquiring and holding those 9,800+ domains. Also just the renewal cost is over $100,000 annually. So there are a lot of expenses and money is invested. But overall, I’m in profit and happy with the progress.

I wish everyone a great month ahead and have a lot of sales. Feel free to share your sales and give your feedback on mine if you like to. It doesn’t matter how good or good the feedback is.

For the independent contractor which skills are important to have.

tosinhtml:


Independent contractor in EU is very lucrative especially UK and Germany. You are paid daily rate and it is enough to set you up for life if you do that for 3 - 5 years. You need to have a passport or be a Permanent Resident to be an independent contractor.

You can earn 650 - 700 pounds per day as an Mid-level independent contractor. As a senior or principal you can earn 1,000. Even with 40% tax, that money is still a lot.

There is money every where, it depends on what papers you have and the skills you have.

Why una always find excuse for laziness. Even if e take 3 months, won't it still be worth trying if it will pay you on the long run?

I make 300 to 400k on upwork as an undergraduate.

I want to dump upwork/fiverr that has been paying me. To focus on KDP. Hence, I will be starting from zero and it will take time to break through. But I still want to go ahead.

Imagine going to zero, just to try something new. Sometimes we have to leave our comfort zone and take risks.

Yes. From one of my loyal students. Same guy that sold Lakeland auto sales.com.

I researched and sent him this domain to quickly register on February 3. Asked him to put it at $750. No response after first outbound. Then on Wednesday, few days ago, he got an offer of $500 which he accepted and they paid afterwards. Same company I have in mind.. They use same keyword but longer domain.
