EpikNigeria:
Hello Nairalanders

I am Saheed from Epik Nigeria Team. Epik Nigeria is an ICAAN Accredited Domain Registrar, Webhost and Escrow Agent from the USA. We have been doing business in Nigeria for a couple of months, so, we decided to create this thread to serve as a medium to offer render Legendary Support Service to our esteem clients here in Nigeria

Do you have a physical address here in Nigeria

Channel5:
Epik Why!

Una dey lecture Gboyz and Ggirls about our industry, i give it 5 years now....you will see another different thing.

My only consolation is that, the business requires patience, is not a get quick money scheme...

Let's sit n watch but it is a nice idea though, would have love to participate but my schedule is unpredictable for now ... epik ambassadors can you share your Twitter handle .

Crazeworld:
But you can't receive a call without internet right?

Dingtone received n makes call with/without Internet .you see missed call even if your phone is not available when an enduser calls

ikhalyfah:

Get ready to spend at least 12$ per domain w/o privacy

Godaddy is the most greedy registrar but one has no choice

ElonMosque:
What do I do? My domain isn't up to 60 days reg and the potential buyer doesn't want to create the namesilo acc because he's used to Godaddy. I have told him it isn't an issue as he can later transfer but he's not even responding after reading the messages.

Had a similar issue last month , just send him a message that since you haven't heard from him you take it that his preferred choice of receiving the domain is godaddy . once the domain is over 60days you will inform him. Just tweak a nice email .
Note him might not buy the domain again because of trust , so next time once you received any email of how do I get it to Godaddy under 60days lock is better you don't reply till after 60days

UrVillagePpl:
Good morning, let me share an experience that happened to me recently.


I reached out to an end-user about the availability of this doman ''Texas******s.com".
NB: This domain is actually not mine but only available in ED market.


After a couple of days, he replied saying, I should tell him why he needs to buy it. I told him. (In my mind thought I was about clinching my first sale. ) at exactly that time the next day got an email from him saying 'am not sure if that Domain is still available'. I quickly checked it on WHOis. low and behold it's been taken. I then told him they domain is no longer available but the singular is. After some time he replied 'okay how much do u intend ditching it out' I told him.
The next day I woke up to a mail from him saying 'thanks for advising. there were both available'.
I checked WHOis it is no longer available..
Now both domains have been redirected to its main site.
I was just smiling and felt a little bit heartbroken (thought that was going to be my first sale)
Anyways we just move on, lesson leant


NB: thought of buying it earlier but was having some constraints.

I can't but laugh at this situation the question now is who is smarter here? , you should always know that a serious end user(any that wants to buy your domain) makes tedious research before they purchase and also they all have a web guy they contact before buying.. that's y u see offer first and then no reply to ur mails till domain expires(like the web guy as advice him not to) . so don't outbound for unregistered names because it cost the end user nothing to register them . n stop wasting your time outbounding unregistered names use it to create brandable names

ThisisIkemefuna:
An end user just call me on Whatsapp and we spoke about the domain name. He is saying he has doubts about the whole process of buying, and that he will have to make further research about it. What am I expected to do in this scenario? Wait or is there any way to make him feel confident and hasten the transaction?

If I were you I won't contact him for like two weeks not to sound desperate ... just give him time .

codemaniacs:


did you outbound?

Yea n am just confuse y they are backing out ..might b Dan or not ..these end user are always scare of little things , one actually called me to ask if its legit I told him yes that he should click the link through his mail but he told me he doesn't click anything from mail .. I just tire . in all who go buy go buy ..

Promxy94:



I don't even understand epik and their offers...

I recieved a 500usd offer since 2weeks ago on an epik domain, and I have accepted same day, I recieved it because that was my minimum set offer for the said domain. But till today no show. Buyer hasn't paid and am not sure epik even sends a reminder or notify them that offer has been accepted.

I sent buyer a mail through that provided by epik, but no reply.

Is better u keep mailing the end user with different emails ... some end user sometimes send fake offers just to test the system , to me once its over 48hrs after I receive an offer I take the offer as a 50-50chance .. I currently have 7 offers on Dan for last month till today nothing , January get as e be .. But we move on

sammchuck1:


*I want to start with 100k.
*Can I see like 40k profit on a monthly basis?
*Whats the worst case scenario in this business? Slow sales or the domain actually dropping in value(is that even possible)?

Start reading and learning ... once you confident invest around 30% then see what's comes out during the 30%investment , if positive then go all in ... Invest wisely

eghos24:
Please I find it difficult learning javascript in my own. Can someone advice how I can do it ?

Use udemy courses they are well structure syllabus

johnoj24:

The first name I sold was so cheap and when I search the name lately what I saw I was like " why did I sell this domain for $200" p/a/y/coinly/king

this could have been your big paycheck.
No need to regret but a lesson shld b learnt , invest more..

Uwaeromosele:

Yes, but it is not as easy as you put it.
You have to Set it up (Website)
It has have Content
It has have Back link
It must have Keyword(U have done this by researching on the Domain name)
Website must b responsive etc.

Yea.. and even building the site alone is something then content to fill it ... Not as easy as we see it ...except its run as a team

tranxo:
Congrats to all latest sellers. We march on!

PS:
Domaining doesn't have to start and end in what we are currently doing. Think about ways to add more value (real or perceived) to your domain names for juicer sales.

Have a balanced mix

Think about mini sites

I dey conclave.

Is it that easy to run lots of mini-sites please do lecture me

Yes but when you want to do it, don't make it seem like you didn't do anything aside prayinh or pay tithe.

You are downplaying the principle of hard work if you do. If you didn't have those names in the first place and u go pay that tithe, nothing for you.

So when we wanna talk, let it go hand in hand. Even the Bible tells you God will bless the work of your hand and faith without work is dead.

There is a way you go about this religiosity that must not be found in lazy minds because if it does, you end up destroying their life even more.

There is something that happened to me at the end of 2019 that still shocks me till now... I will keep that end till the time comes but one thing is obvious, If I had not made move, the prayer I did 2 days prior to that happening would have been useless. For it to really manifest, I had to MAKE MOVE!

THAT IS THE POINT.

China is even bombing churches but they have the fastest rate of millionaires in the world, ahead of US.

At the end of the day, it boils down to universal basic principles set by God, whether you believe in God or not, whether you are Christian or not, follow the rules and it will work for you.

I heard someone said even if you have the best domains in the world, if God says it won't sell, it won't sell and I tell that brother that is a big fat lie.

Having the best domains in the world clearly shows you already followed the rules of nature that I opines above. Rule is the rule. GOD Blesses you when you follow his set rules, whether you believe he exist or not, the rules are the rules.

Some people like to restrict the rules of given to just Christianity lol... But like I said, the rule is universal. That is why when you give so much value, it comes back in multiple folds and this is evident in the wealth of world billionaires and millionaires who are the richest on Forbes. They gave something, and the reward is the money in their bank accounts.

That's why I put skill + grace ... have the skill then grace follows it .

Gratitude to God and thanks to Iykepromotions and every single person that contribute to this thread!

You getting it Hot.. Congrats

ikhalyfah:
ONE THING I KNOW BE SAY, IF U LIKE HOLD THE BEST DOMAINS IN THE WHOLE WORLD, IF GOD SAY E NO GO SELL, I SWEAR TO GOD E NO GO SELL.

And I don't know about y'alls religion, but in my religion, God says "... I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me...."

Hence I make prayers for my sales, and I attribute all my sales to my prayers!
It was prayer that made me had my first sale 3weeks or less into the business, it was prayer to God that granted me more , and it will prayer that will grant me sales in the future!

Also, believe it or not, even an atheist pray to God, he may not know how or when but he DEFINITELY pray to God.

I pray more sales locate us all

PEACE

I must say God's grace exist ... let me use my self as a case study . I Neva believe in doing 10% as I use to say .. but on a faithful day after service n extensive hearing of dropping tithes .. I say let me test it ... Get a envelop n write tithe with no sales for a long time .. BOOM that week sale happen ... Since then every month is on a smooth ride ... so we should pray for God grace to select the right name ....every man to his beliefs , do what works for you
Skill+grace

slumbee:



User accepted $100 after countering his $75
However last minute he replied saying he has been advised that $100 was way too much and he won't be needing it.
We move still

That's how one did to me , initially offered 150 I agree then later told me its way too much after he was advised .. then he asked for my last price I gave him a range of $100 - 125 .Then 3days later he replied with a $80 .. I countered $100 as last n final n deal was closed. Just sit and watch, he will come back
