Still manageable.

Please oh, where are all those expert email responders like AwesomeDuru and co? I need una help lol...

Below is an email I just received from an end-user, though he is of less importance to me because our keywords differ due to a different market segment.

A major target in the niche has told me that my email has been forwarded to the person in charge of the product and they will decide if they want it or not and that email has been read over 25 times by them.

But I want to give this current guy one of those Awesome email response lol, maybe he could bite, you know?

How best can I craft this email? Normally, I usually ignore an end-user once they start talking about SEO and ranking. Mind you, I didn't even mention anything about SEO or ranking in my email.

Boss, that guy speaks like he knows his onions.

I really don't think there's much that can be done.

More sales.

Merry Xmas.

IdeasPro:

It's a matter of opportunity cost i.e. making good money elsewhere.

I'm trying my best sir.

Hopefully, I'll get to the level of some of the bosses here

You leave the thread for a few days and come back to meet hundreds of unread pages

Me I'm not reading anything o, if I perish I perish

Ihinmi:

Check any of Dan's email messages to you, Simon's number is there.

Essont:
Hopefully....

I sent you a DM.

Let's seal this deal sir

Parko:
Hello bosses, please how do I go about this.

Me: How about i redirect the domain to your website?
End user: How can we decide it’s influence?

Cc: AwesomeDuru

"Hi,

You might have to look through your Google Analytics Metrics to check that.

Quick one though, hope you know GEO domains, like the one I'm offering you, helps with brand recognition in the minds of prospects and sets you out as an authority when it comes to [fill in the service e.g Roofing] in [City e.g Dallas]?

Your prospects are most likely to remember DallasRoofing.com than they would [fill in his company url here].

Think about that.

Meanwhile, the domain now points to your website. I'll leave it that way for the next 24 hours.

If you're interested, here's a link to make payment: [Link]

People who use Dingtone numbers here I would like to know if you also get random calls.

I have only used the number to call one person (ended in a sale about a week later).

But I also notice that random numbers frequently call the number - mostly see missed call notifications. I have only picked one of these calls (seems a robocall).

Now, I am considering adding this number to outbound emails, but these unsolicited calls could make it hard telling what calls are relevant.

You're not alone bro, I also get these random messages and calls.

Personally, I feel Dingtone recycles numbers that have been used and left by previous owners.

Sometimes though, some of the calls are from websites/contact forms you filled while outbounding and they are only following up.

I get random texts/whatsapp messages all the time from people I have no clue how they got the number.

See screenshots of two instances.

Mikebio:
Hello bosses, got this reply from an end user, what's the best way to convince him or should I move on ?

This looks like a dead end sir, please move on.

What have they rebranded? the hotel I just left less than 3 weeks ago? it's like you did not read my story well o, abi you dey work there?

Lol. I don't work there sir. Hit me up next time you come around though, I stay close.

Cutezt:


I am sure you can testify to the uselessness of the hotel, the worst I have ever been in.

It used to be terrible, but they have rebranded now.

Cutezt:
So i grew up in the hood where there were no robbers, but many cultists, actually, na God talk say I no go join, so I was 100% street smart, so I moved to lagos and my armed robbery experience happened less than 3 weeks ago, I went for a 1 week getaway with bae from the island to the mainland, I had a budget of 10k per night for the hotel accommodation, but I needed to do something at badagry, so I sent the accommodation money to be to get a good hotel while I will join her at Ojo where we choose the location to be, well, I went to badagry and spent 2 days completing the project I was meant to do there and then went to ojo to meet her, she took me to one terrible looking hotel called Fooma hotel around first gate, for those who know Ojo well, I was not happy with her but she has already paid already, I asked her why she choose this hotel and she apologized saying that she was looking at cutting cost since we will still eat and do other stuffs, well, I accepted her apology and decided to manage it, it was a terrible experience tho, no AC, only fan, the hotel only turns on the gen by 5pm, and most times, there is no power, it affected my work badly as I needed light to work on my PC, well, I just decided to forgo work for the week and focus on bae, it was evening, the first thing I noticed was prostitutes flooding the hotel at night, I was not happy at all, so we usually stayed in all night, we cant go to the bar, etc, I endured sha, we had fun for the first few days, one other bad aspect of the useless hotel was that random people keep on knocking at our room door when they notice i am not around saying they want to talk to bae who is even more security concious than me, she will never open the door, she told me of one guy who even had the guts to follow her asking to speak with her, i asked her to show me where he is but he was no where to be found again, one day, i went out to get something and on my return, bae told me a guy came and knocked asking her to open the door but she said he should return when i return, then the guy went and spoke to one of the room attendants who came to knock too asking her to open the door, she told him to retuen when i come back, as soon as she told me, i told her to dress up let us go to the reception, i went to the attendant and manager and warned them never to come near my door again until i leave this hotel, this was a hotel that water must finish in the tank every morning, when you complain, they will fetch fater in bucket and bring to your room, i just taya for the useless place. so one Friday, I was feeling very lazy and did not want to leave the hotel that day, but we had to go eat that evening, so I told bae we should go somewhere close. let us not go too far, she agreed, as we dressed up and was about leaving, she received a call from a friend who invited her to join her and her boyfriend at one eatery in car wash, I told bae i did not want to go far cos my spirit was not letting me, but she cajoled me since that her friend was one she always spoke to me about and wanted me to meet, we sha went, ordered for food, I ate mine while bae packaged hers, I ordered for 2 extra chicken lap as takeaway, we had a good time, now on the way home, I wanted to use the ATM, first, one guy wanted to fight me at the ATM for no good reason o, I carried the bank mopping stick to wipe him but was collected by the security, they separated us, I used the ATM sha and left, on our way back, the car we were boarding, so many criminals around the road were looking at us suspiciously, it was obvious our dressing was attracting them, plus bae was cacausian, so was very light skinned and pretty, for their mind, I must have money since this girl is following me, dem no know say na manage me sef dey manage my life, I have been in Lagos 6 years and this was only my third time sleeping over on the mainland, plus i had a car those other times, so I did not put on my street cred, well, these guys kept looking at us, that was when I knew I would have taken an uber or something and I needed to be armed too, in the bus, one guy came to the window and was staring straight into my eyes while his guys were behind him, I jejely closed the window, I knew they were looking for a reason to begin fighting me so a to take things from me, we left sha, on our way back, we were walking to the hotel, all of a sudden, 3 guys on okada appeared from no where, immediately the first alighted, he pulled out a gun and up it on my head, the second was with a knife and put it on bae, this was just by the road side o, it was not dark, and people were still around, it was around 9pm, as soon as I saw the gun and knife, my street cred kicked in, I wanted to wrestle him with the gun cos the fool had the gn very close to me, i could easily hit it and struggle with him, plus i was bigger than this guy, i could deal with him, but i just thaught about the others, they could over power me, plus bae was in danger, i decided to keep calm, I threw my newly bought redmi note 9 phone inside the gutter, well, I was not holding any money aside my chicken cos babe collected all the money I withdrew and put in her purse prior, as soon as the guy put the gun on me, I remembered where I was coming from, how rugged it was and how this was never gonna happen to me where I come from, and a girl in my area died of knife stabs because she was struggling with phone thieves, they searched me and did not find nothing, I was concentrating on the guy with gun when I heard bae screaming, immediately, the guy gave her a loud slap, and was taking the knife towards her, that was how I quickly went between them begging the guy to chill, I screamed at bae as she was struggling with them for the bag, so she removed it and gave them, her phone was in it, my atm card and hers, my mifi router, and 7k of the money I withdrew, plus other items, immediately, they took the bike and ran away, just as they were leaving, a man came over and asked what happened, I said we were robbed and I pointed at the bike on high speed, the man quickly swung into action, stopped another bike and went after the thieves, soon people had gathered around and were sympathizing with us, bae was crying already, i consoled her and soon tried to pick my phone in the gutter, that was when i realized that the gutter was filled with black deep dirty water, immediately, i gave up the phone cos i knew there was no way we would find it, people encouraged us to search for it but i refused, surprisingly, bae refused and said we must look for it, she screamed at me when i was telling her to leave it, na so she dive inside dirty black gutter dey find phone o, put her hand inside the extremely dirty water with maggots sef, i was really embarrassed, her white dress was stained already, what a night it was, just as i managed to convince her to leave it after almost 15 mins of searching, the man who went after the robbers came back, his wife was waiting for him with us, he said the thieves came from School, that he chased them but they entered a dark place he doesn't know so he could not follow them as it was dangerous, he said his bike was stolen around the sea area too that was why he promised that he must help anyone he sees being robbed, he sympathized with us and just as we were about leaving, i turned and saw bae inside the gutter again, the man asked what she was doing there, she said my phone was inside, the man went home and brought rake, na so we find the phone o, removing all sorts of sand and dirt in the gutter, after about 20 more mins, bae found it, i knew it was gone already, i thanked the man and we went back to the hotel, it was a really terrible night, bae was unsettled, i slept off trying to console her, the food and chicken laps I brought, I could not eat sef, it tasted bitter in my mouth, by morning, she was a bit better, had woken up, cleaned everywhere and washed all the clothes, i was just admiring the gift God had given me, well, we went straight to alaba where i got her a gionee phone she liked while i bought my note 9 again, i had gone way over budget for a 1 week trip, almost 300k spent when the original budget was not even up to 120k sef, well, i was glad everything was fine, the only problem was that my old phone refused to be fixed as the panel got damaged, and bae could not retrieve her line as she did not do the registration herself.

It was a terrible experience, i quickly got myself a jack knife and side bag and was 101% street smart from then on, enough of the ajebos stuff, they want it street, we give it to them, the next morning, i went to complain of no water as usual, but i noticed blood stains on the floor, i traced it and it went downstairs, i went to the manger and complained, he said they were investigating it, so when i went back upstairs, i noticed there was much blood stains on our door handle, it looked like someone injured on the hand tried opening the door, as i was asking bae to come and see, one of the prostitites on my floor opened her door, i asked if she knew what happened and that was how she explained that robbers came to the hotel at night and were knocking all the doors, she said one of them got injured while trying to scale the fence, this was a hotel that had 3 security guards o, only god know how it happened, she said the robbers turned off the gen and wanted everywhere dark to operate, that the manager went to check why the gen went off, that was when he saw them and screamed forcing them to take off, i investigated many doors and realized the robbers only tired to open ours, but went to many doors, that was when i knew it was possible we were the target, immediately, i asked bae to arrange her things, we were leaving this hell hole and never to return, we checked out and left, we completed the week at a nice hotel called Masvi hotel, it was much more secure, professional, with armed police and security, a pool, a bar to go chill and more, plus it was just 1500 more than the hell hole we just left.

Now, any robber i see, i go join beat am o, it was really a sad experience, back on the island and still cant calm down as i am still very careful and alert even while in my house. sorry for the epistle, FOOMA HOTEL IS A USELESS HOTEL, PLEASE NEVER GO THERE IN YOUR LIFE.

Lol. I have lodged at this hotel countless times.

erjo:
hello, bosses in the house.

After a massive follow up, an end-user replied with this,

"No longer interested."

I want to ask him why he's no longer interested, and at the same time convince him to be interested. But don't know how to go about it.

...seeing that I'm an "oldbie", how does that make me the Oasis of knowledge??
Learn to see beyond your nose.
When someone decides to follow a course of action. There's always a reason. For this I have been justified.
But in honesty, I expected ur type come out and say nonsense. I wasn't disappointed. The "Omni Know Knows"...I simply laugh at ur naivete.

If you are doing showcasing ur abilities, kindly move to the next moniker.

Gracias.

Let it go bro, it's not worth it. At least not online.

More sales to us!

One newbie dropped a list like that recently.

Stuff of legend.

It's normal.

Almost every newbie rushes in and rushes out, and then concludes the business doesn't pay anyone

Merchant0z:

I get your point but it's like you're not understanding what I'm saying sef. I've bin reading this thread for the past week. I have made several research online.. I've studied the do's and don'ts.. But nobody has really talked about how to buy
Are you saying I should just be observing the thread and not take action?

Yes sir, that's exactly what I'm saying.

Just keep reading, when you're fully ready to buy, you'll know and you'll know how and what to buy.

Merchant0z:
Would anyone be kind enough to just explain that aspect of how to buy the expired domains atleast

Its not about knowing how to buy, it's about knowing what to buy.

For now though, just sit on your hands and start learning from the very beginning.

I doubt you'll take my advice

Newbies blood dey always too hot

IgiveLadiesBj:

Sorry boss......
From the beginning of thread...Netsol don get bad name....if i can remeber Boss Awesome Duru first sale 1500@afternic
They gave im auth code when they knew he could not transfer only push......He lost the sale:$1500 imagine

One kind Mad register like that....

Boss beckplanets say DYNADOT IS Bae and i think so...

Sorry mahn

Boss you remember correctly

My supposed first sale was supposed to have come a lot earlier at $1500.

But Netsol fvcked with me. Name became available after its been sold and was bought by another domainer.

Today, that domain is a website.

It's one of the many reasons I'll never use Netsol even if they're doing a $1 promo.
