Got this from an end-users, how do u handle this?
Note: accept payment=make payment, Google translate issue.
"Hello,

Thanks for the feedback!

While I cannot give you the login details to my account (and I think we'll both agree that this wouldn't be a wise thing to do), here's what I'll do to prove I own the domain:

I'll redirect it to your current website. Only the person who owns the domain name can do this.

Let me know if this works for you.

Best regards"

PLEASE URGENT!!! PLEASE URGENT!!! PLEASE URGENT!!!

Please, has anyone here had payment declined issue with using Nigeria Paypal linked with GTB MasterCard. I tried making payment with my Nigeria PayPal and it was declined. Also, I tried using the MasterCard itself and the same happened. I'm worried because I need to make an urgent payment.
I faced this same challenge 2 days ago. But I was able to make a $60 payment to my Dynadot account today using my Gtb card.

It's not a slight at all. You've made a point.

Yes, I understand and agree with you. But here is my advice because the best teacher is experience.

WigPalace//king is too restricted for growth and expansion. And when he wants to sell it in the near future, there will be a ceiling to what he can earn. What if wig is no more fashionable tomorrow and another fad comes in? The first step I think he missed is the domain name. I would prefer BeautyPalace//king or anything similar so that he can promote any product related to beauty and lifestyle over time.

But he can start with wig as a niche, get traction to his website, consistently make money for few months and then add another product to the list. If he is solely building a niche site with WordPress, he can create pages with children and grand children in hierarchical order. If he follows the blogging route, no problem. he can continue to blog about wig, make money and gradually expand from there.

ShopRite, for example, sells lots of product in order to make consistent sales. If you sell ice cream during raining season. your sales will not be the same like dry season. Google is not mad about websites doing various things. No! It's only concerned about theme-based content. So, wig, shoes, clothing, etc are theme based and that is okay.

All in all, when you're into website investing, you'll appreciate what I'm saying the more. Products and services come and go out of the market. Unless you've a theme based website, you may wake up and found out that your sales have dried up. But that is not our portion.

Take Away:

1. Get a broad domain name that you can grow over time e.g. WeightLossXXX//king instead of PaleoDietWeightLoss//king even if you're starting with the paleo diet niche.

2. Niche down to start with, get a good handle of that and earn money consistently for 3 months before you branch out.

3. Create quality, unique and superior content on your blog. This is what Google need.

4. Promote your blog. If you don't, magic or miracle will not happen.

5. Etc.

We're on the same page brother except that I always have an "exit strategy" in mind when creating blogs or building websites.
Thanks for the explanation boss, noted!

She has done a great job, that feat is not easy to come by. That is over 25k session based blog there. She is in money if her traffic comes from 1st tier countries.

I know countless of sleepless nights and ass breaking sitting it takes to grow my blog to 26k traffic per month after series of algorithm updates.

Though my target is Mediavine too, but I make use of amazon and ezoic for now.
Wow! That's awesome! You have done a great job already. Just keep at it, you'll get there.

It used to be 25k sessions but Mediavine changed things recently (2 months ago or so), now you'd need 50k sessions to get in.

It's work I tell you. Pinning and writing and all of that. Sometimes I just get so frustrated with it that I want to tear it all down so I can have my sanity. Lol. Just kidding sha.

Anyway, you're almost there. Keep at it. Have you tried Monumetric? Heard they are better than Ezoic.

If you do get approved on Mediavine, you have made it in this life. Period!

Whatever you do sha, never use Google Adsense! Their code slows down one's site and they can speak big English untop small thing.

Can I DM you sir? I'm in the personal finance niche and I would like to learn a thing or two from you. Thanks.

IdeasPro:

What online business idea do you intend to use the domain name for? About wig? Not broad enough! Too restricted to earn sustainable income online except you turn it to authority site in the long run.
Please allow me to say something about the bolded.

Wig is not broad enough?

Website 101: Niche down a lot!

The number one mistake Nigerian website owners/bloggers make every time is that they don't niche down.

They want to talk about everything at the same time.

They bite off more than they can chew in the process.

They talk about entertainment, business, health, money, travel, etc, all in one blog.

And in so doing, they end up confusing Google.

How can you be an authority in all of these things?

Google gets very mad with people who do this!

I have a friend who blogs about grey hair and she recently just got approved on Mediavine. And if you know anything about Mediavine, you'd know you need about 50k traffic to get approved. That's a lot!

I made this same mistake in my early days blogging. I wanted to talk about everything. And it backfired big time.

I took a paid course titled 'Stupidd Simple SEO' and I had since niched down a lot!

Wig is even too broad in my opinion (though it's okay). You can still niche down to blondes, black wig, etc, you get the gist?

This is not a slight on your person IdeasPro, I know you're an authority in running a website already. It is commendable for anyone to even nurture a website (I know the hours of work I put into mine).

Goodluck GrossIntel! That's a forward thinking move.

How do I reply this guys?
The domain registrar is Porkbun and expires next month..
"Hello,

Thanks for the feedback!

The domain will be transferred to the registrar of your choosing after you make payment for it.

The yearly renewal fee depends on your registrar, but it's usually less than $10.

Dan's domain marketplace (where the name is listed) will provide escrow and ensure you get the domain transferred to you immediately.

Visit www.mydomainname.king for immediate ownership.

Best regards"

Please do give feedback on this. Goodluck and congrats!

"Good morning.

Regarding your request for credentials, I want to tell you that there's no credentials attached to domains because it's an online property.

But, as a proof of ownership, I've redirected the the domain www. abcd. com to your www. wxyz. com

You can click www. abcd . com to confirm this.

I've redirected the domain to his website this morning. I plan to use that as a proof of ownership maybe it will work.

Obagoblog this response is for you.

Hope you haven't bombarded them with countless replies already?

That's desperation.

You don't want your client knowing you're desperate.

Moving on...

Hit them with a reply like: (and I'm guessing you have responded to them already, so I'm working with this knowledge)

"Hello,

Just following up on this.

We have listed the name for sale at Dan. Dan is a trusted domain marketplace (you can look them up to confirm), and they'll be providing escrow services till both buyer and seller have gotten what they want.

It's a safe process generally, and it's usually hassle-free.

However, if you would like to buy this name from Godaddy, do let me know so I can list it with them and you can head over there and complete your purchase.

If all looks good, let's seal this deal immediately.

Visit www.mydomainname.king for ownership.

Depressed101:
he asked what the rates are. I see you are condemning crypto exchangers.
No one is condemning crypto exchangers.

Even I myself, often wonder how all these crypto exchangers make their money and who in this crypto age uses their services.

Trust me, it's faster and way easier to use a wallet you own than give your funds to a total stranger and put yourself under duress and still pay for such service.

It beats me tbh.

Withdrawal from your Quidax naira wallet to your bank account (whichever amount you so wish), is just N100.

So what gives? Why are people still asking for exchangers? Why are people asking for price of this and that?

It's on playstore y'all! Do you need anyone to spoonfeed you with every little information you need?!

Some questions are honestly very irritating to look at and I'm honestly starting to rethink blaming anyone for dishing out savage responses!

Just this morning, in one of the groups I'm in, one adult was asking what swift codes were and how he could get them.

Like wtf!!

I learn new skills all the time and while learning, I try to reduce the workload of whoever is teaching them to me by doing 75% of the work so when I need help, I know it's genuinely for things I don't understand.

Don't just wake up and start dishing out random "where can I sell my domains" questions and expect the servant you kept here to attend to you, because you're some precious child.

Make una no mind me abeg. I just wanted to rant.

Iyke e be like I go come for second training o.. Cause I weak boss.

Wondering why the choice in the domain?? Any reason?
Domaining is a very funny business.

Sometimes, those names you are very sure will sell within minutes are the ones you'll hold for months.

But you see those ones you hit your head on the wall after registering them? They sell within minutes.

Just search for your endusers, however few they maybe, and reg your name.

Sometimes, all you need is your guts.

I got a name on ED on the 2nd of this month and something within me keeps telling me the name would sell. Not that it was fancy or anything. But I trusted my gut.

And sure enough, it sold before I woke up the following morning (I had reached out to a few people before sleeping off).

So do your due diligence. It's mostly not about the names.

It's how willing your endusers are at the time.

Let's keep outbounding, we'll get there.

Congrats boss Iykepromotions

Start by changing your nameservers to any of the market places, say, Dan.com (ns1.dan.com and ns2.dan.com).

Your domain is good enough. If I owned it, I'd slam $750 on it and do the first outbound. If no response, do a follow up outbound after like 3 days. If no response still, reduce price and message them again. Good luck!

Looks like you already know your onions on this business judging by your first reg.

Very very bad. Dentist instead of dental,
Norwood 29,000 population
Pick a US city atleast over 80k

Then work and pray
This is not a very insightful appraisal at all.

Dental, Dentist and Dentistry are very rich keywords that sell well. Just depends on the preference of the buyer.

Also, population shouldn't be the main thing you consider when buying your name. Look to see if you have end users for it, that's all that matters.

My only qualms with the name is that it is worded backwards. NorwoodDental//king would have been way better.

Your Gmail account is supposed to have been restored by now. Have you tried logging in to check? Have you reached out to Google?

Also, create as many Gmail accounts as possible now and have them start aging. The older your Gmail account is, the less likely it'll get suspended.

In the meantime, hope your sales letter doesn't look spammy/scammy? Try sending it to one of your own email address first and check if it lands in your inbox.

More sales brother.

Adjust price to $500 and then wait. Don't forget to give us feedback.
