Truth4eva:

Congratulations.
My questions are:
1. Was it a premium name?
2. How did you change instalments to 3 months instead of 6 months?

1. Premium Listing.

2.Didn't change anything, maybe buyer opted for 3 months Installment. I was surprised as well.

Peace

CBDpura is Good

Yeah bro. Considering that Cannapura//com sold for $xxxx in a brandable markeplace. I was hoping to hold. But needed quick fund, so lowered BIN and did outbound. All the same its win win for both parties

tysonnn:

Congrats boss.

How many outbound messages did you send for that cbdpura?

Lol, i don't take such records bro. I just sent out to any related business using term. Name have very few end users so maybe 5 or 10. But like i said i don't take note of such record.

Before i register any name from expireddomains i make sure name has end users. If no feasible end-users in view i won't register name. Search name on Google there are related businesses online using similar term.

Please when was that?

Good morning sir, please I'd like you to mentor me on domaining.
How can I get started sir?

Here is the wrong thread bro.

Anyways start Here : https://www.nairaland.com/3430037/what-make-money-online

That's the best place to start and learn from diverse experience.

FxTizzle:


Always check New Arrivals and work on the names.

My approval rate increased after reading the brandable tutorials for more than 5 times.

Thanks once more @beckplanet

Happy to hear that bro. Congrats.

Please has anyone successfully traveled with the Ok-to-Board Option. Kindly let us know the process and your success. At it will go along way to motivating us.

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience.

paulsir:

Abeg which one is radio button again here? Expanciate pls.

I said Radio Test not Radio button.

Radio Test simply means testing your name on the Radio maybe on Radio Advert to see how people are able to grab and spell your name.

Now this applys mostly to short names or brandable names used for commercials. For Example when they announce your name on a radio station, what do people hear?? Do they get the word currently or mistaken it for another word. Now if people are able to get your brand name correctly without mistakening it for another word then your name Passes the Radio Test. But when people fail to get your name correctly when it is announced on radio advert then your name fails the Radio Test.

Read more about the radio Radio Test on namepros.

Note :Everything you need to succeed as a domainer is at Namepros Dot com. But many domainers fail to read and research hence ignorant of many things.


Radio Test is one of the rudiments of selecting a brand name. Very important.

Clearest Example :
Let's say
Mr A owns the domain name like Book Dot com and Mr B owns Vexynix dot com. You can agree with me that when both names are advertised on radio station people will easily grab Mr A's name while they struggle to spell Mr B's name. Mr B's name Vexynix Dot com can also be spelt as Vesynix dot com or Even Vesinix dot com which will in turn make Mr B's lose customers to Vesynix Dot com and Vesinix dot com any time his name is advertised on the Radio.

Hence while Mr A's name passed the Radio Test.
Mr B's name failed the Radio Test.

Peace

Your contribution is highly valued and I've learnt a lot.
What do you think about these domains

Allyment//king
Boxflixx//king
VitaInsure//king
AdMantle//king
Studfarm//co

Cc branduche

I don't do appraisals bro..

Box//Flix would have been better.
Admantle sounds fine.
Allyment would have been better brandable name if the "y" was substituting for just "i" only as real word is "ALIGNMENT". But here you added a double "l" and "y" is substituting for "ign" don't know how that would work.
Vital/insure would have been better.
StudFarm i have little knowledge of how the Dot Co extension works.

Generally, whether appraisals or not a name that will sale will sale. A name can be condemned as useless via appraisals but still sale. So my advice to everyone just believe in your name and hope for the best outcome. And also make sure you do a thorough research before regging a name so you'll have strong confidence in your name, whether it sales or not.

Peace

Thanks for the advice, though
But am holding it
If I loose I loose

Alright Goodluck with that

johnoj24:

I have registered, if I want to use it to collect money what will I submit e.g to submit to brandbuck

As explained already in the guide, Just like it is when using PayPal give your Payoneer Email Address to the person sending the fund. Or you'll be asked to login with your Payoneer account when selecting a payment option as in the case of brandbucket or squadhelp.

Men am just so shocked and suprised now

On top am very happy

Names where just flying in my head, 5L pronounceable

I checked since 3 days now all the one that came to my head was taking

But few mins ago I got 5l pronounceable English word
Just added an 'e' to make it brandable..

I submitted to SH just now for $6,099
I have regged the name even if SH reject it because of price I go give am brandpa.

Am joyful, I know is a killer name
For those that want to know, the name is ( sluee.com)

Slue is an English word added + e to make it (hybrid)

Similar names like bluee, cluee are all gone and prices are above 10,000$

@beckplanet what do you think is $6,099 much
I just went through SH all there 5L I no see $6k

Would hold these one for years even if it doesn't sell these year

But I pray it does

Not sure about that bro.
You need to devote more time and study more. It's been a long while since i regged a 5Letter Dot com name. Due to lack of sales in that space. But i believe if you must get a 5Letter Dot com that'll sale it definitely have to be top notch.

Keys to note.

1.It must pass the radio test
2. It must be pronouncable.
3. It must be easy to remember and memorize.
4. It must have the a good vowel/consonant combination.

Now coming back to your name... It only passed number 2 and maybe 3. But generally 1 and 4 is as equally if not more important.

Sluee have triple vowel letter "Uee" which is a red flag for any name.

Aside real dictionary 5Letter Dot comes. The more sellable patterns are[b]vcvcv dot com[/b] and cvcvc dot com. You can visit namepros and search for guides of the 5 letter Dot com to learn more about 5L domains.

Between Slue as an English word doesn't convey a commercial meaning.

According to dictionary search here's what i saw

noun: slue
1.
a violent or uncontrollable sliding movement.

In summary, the name you got is not good enough unless you got lucky and It sells or any brandable marketplace accepts it. But to be candid it'll be a hard sale. Maybe you should ask for a refund from registrar if name is not registered more than 3 days ago.


Peace

For Those who missed the Payoneer Guide.
Happy Weekend Pipo.

beckplanet:
Using the PAYONEER payment Option to Receive Funds Directly to your Local Bank Account.

1. Create a Payoneer account

Requirements needed to create account
i) Email
ii) Phone number
iii) ID card (National I.D (it can be the temporary or parmanent) Or Driving License Or International Passport.)
Any One of the above 3 will do. But if you have none. Maybe you can try your luck with a voter's card. If you're lucky they'll accept that too. But they need a verification of identity document from you. I used my international passport. And account was verified in minutes.

Now after filling out your details and created account. You'll wait for them to approve your application. Once your Account is Approved. You are free to send and receive fund in your account. NEXT is to fill in your bank details.

2. Select a Payment Method : Use the Bank Withdrawal (Withdraw to Bank) option. They'll ask you to fill in your bank details. Account name / Account number / Bank name / Bank Swift Code.
****Goto your Bank and request for SwiftCode every Bank has their own and once you request it they'll give you the code. I use Gtbank. Here is Gtbank's SwiftCode "GTBINGLA"


3. Start Receiving Your Funds Directly to your Bank Account :After providing the bank details, then you'll become eligible to start withdrawing your Payoneer funds Directly to your local bank without stress.

Your Email address used in registration becomes your *Payoneer Address*. Once you want to Receive any fund simply send that email address to the payment party.

Good thing is Payoneer accepts Nigerians full time. And guess what! the rate is around #350-#360/$. But Prices varies depending on the Bank you use. Gtbank rate is around #355/$. Now this is better than PayPal where you have to be paid #300/$ by Exchangers. And you don't need any exchanger to sell fund to. Just receive funds directly to your Bank Account.

You can use your Payoneer Account to Recieve Funds from SQUADHELP or Namepros when the buyer includes Payoneer Payment option or on any other Domain Marketplace that includes Payoneer in their payment option or even for outbound sales depending on the Buyer's choice. (Using Payoneer payment method as a Nigerian is Quite easy). You can equally use your Payoneer fund to buy domains if the Registrar accepts Payoneer.


How to get free $25 Payoneer Bonus.
(This is strictly for new Account's only)
Payoneer offers A referral program where you Earn a $25 once you register with a referral link. This program is called "Refer a Friend"

If you want to signup/register/create a New Payoneer account then you can use this program to earn extra free $25 bonus.

How it works : You'll have to create the new account with a "Refer a friend" link
You become eligible to get free $25 when your Payoneer account clock $1,000 payouts. Now immediately your payoneer account have received upto $1,000 funds you will receive a bonus of $25 for signing up with the "Refer a friend" link.

All you need to do is create new account using my link here:

Payoneer Create Payoneer Account


Immediately you receive payments up to $1000, Payoneer dashes both of us $25 bonus. That's a Win Win for both of us.
N/B : If you don't use a refer a friend link to register your account, it'll just be normal registration and you won't get any $25 at the end of the day


Goodluck with your Payoneer Experience.
If you have any questions as regarding using Payoneer let me know.

And note that the Payoneer Card is not needed in any of this process i listed above. This is because once you receive your Payoneer fund you Withdraw directly to your Bank account and then use your Bank's MasterCard/Visa/Verve to Withdraw funds, you can equally transfer your fund with Mobile app sef without necessarily using any card at all (That is how i got my Fund). The Payoneer MasterCard is technically irrelevant or useless in any of this process, Although it can be used to purchase goods online. But asides that, it is completely not needed in the Bank Withdrawal Process i explained above.

Goodluck

No squadhelp have not replied
am just hoping it goes well.
I don't know squadhelp does not accept trade mark
Just knowing now.

Well
LEEF Is trademarked under device/electronics

The problem is that many different companies have trademark on LEEF in different angle and different location and country
That one Sha concern them
Let me hear from the horses mouth (SH)

It's alright. Goodluck.

Favour196:
LEEF

Is a trademarked word

I submitted one name to SH
On an agreement that if the accept it I will reg,
Then I came back to check and saw that LEEF is trademarked
And the name i submitted contains LEEF

@beckplanet what do you think
Since it is trademark can we go ahead with these reg

I really like the name and I feel it has potentials
Just like canna/LEEF
But as there is a trademark on leef
Will the brandable market overlook these?

Did SquadHelp say it's trademarked? I mean the word combination.

Well trademark is a complicated thing in domaining.
For Example : if one of the word in a 2 word Dot com name is trademarked doesn't mean the 2 word itself is trademarked. Now we all know that Apple is a trademarked term because of its brand user company iPhones. That doesn't mean that every other 2word that contains "Apple" are all trademarked because of Apple trademark rights. This is so because Apple (IPhones) trademarked the term Apple in the area of Mobile phones and tech products(Mobile Tech Sector). That means that if i have a business in the health niche term and i fancy to use an Apple two keyword, i am 100% free to include the word apple in my business because it doesn't violate the IPhones infringement which is restricted to Tech niche and mobile devices. So thah means i can do any other business using the term "Apple" once it doesn't violate the existing trademark rights by an existing company.
Between Apple related domain names sales everyday check namebio.

So you need to check where the Leef trademark falls in. If it is in the health sector then i advice you do away with the name but if it is in a different niche then you have no problems.

Use
trademark247 // com
Trademarkia // com

You deserve some accolades... I submitted 3 names to squadhelp after going through your brandable tutorials and squadhelp approved 3 of them.

Thank you so much!

Wow, Great news.
Happy to see some people are actually doing great after reading the guide. Gives me a Lotta fulfillment
Would be happy to know when sales happens too.

Congratulations bro.

@beckplanet

Thanks alot for you lectures.

Decided to try my hands on some brandable last month, reg two names buh the names wasn't approved both by namerific and SH

I bought wisedeeds/king. I think this is a good name cos the two words compliments each other. Buh through you lecture I discovered it's not a popular keyword probably that was why it wasnt approved. Though I think it's a perfect name for a consulting company. I later on discovered the singular (wisedeed/king) was parked via sedo shaa.
Then the second was Gestuality/king. I thought It was valuable because it's a kinda one word name, buh from the lecture the suffix (lity) isn't trending. Though the former owner used it as a 3d graphics motion stuffs. And the .it extention(gestuality/it) is currently in use as an Italian e-commerce website.

Thanks for your lecture I would do more research before registering a name again

Regarding the First name. which is a 2 Word. "WiseDeeds" = Singular + Plural

I'll advice everyone, aside getting a Hot selling keyword combination for your 2 word. Also make sure it is (Singular + Singular) word combination.

While Wise/Deeds might sound ok but truth is it is ambitious for any brand to use because it is a singular + plural 2 word combination.

Wise/Deed which is (Singular + Singular) is better. But overall businesses hardly go for such names.

Note : No Sane company buys a (singular +plural) 2 keyword brand name. Unless in rare exceptions where the word combinations is an ultra premium word or a very popular phrase. Example: A name like "MrFries" will always sale itself, especially in the USA because those guys eat alot of fried foods and hence prompting alot of businesses in that direction But a name like TechFries or Techlands will hardly sale itself.

If People/Businesses prefers a One word singular to a One word plural in most cases. How much more a Two Word (singular + singular) to its Two Word (plural + singular) or (singular +plural) counterparts.

Please people Refrain from (plural + singular) or (singular +plural) Two Keywords. It hardly sells. Unless you know what you are doing.
Hence Stick to just (singular + singular) two word names.

I Repeat again... Whenever you think of a name to register think business. Ask your self which business would be suited for this name i want to register. If you can't answer that question then drop the idea of registering that name and move on because it won't sale (wasted resources)

2 word brandable keywords are best if they are kept simple, Short and straight to the point. Hence if they are ambiguous or complex they'll hardly sale.

Example which company would like to own a name like Office/Box or Micro/Soft or TechCruch.

Key things to note : Let the words be short word not complex
Let the words contain in demand, hot selling or business type of words.
Let the mix make sense and have a positive in flow.

Now if your two words lack any of these, then the ability to sale is greatly reduced.

Peace

I submitted 10 names to SH the rejected 9 collected 1, I submitted 5 by 5

I got discouraged

But as per you advice, I think I will try once more

But please in your experience what do you think about these three names,
I think I like them but SH chose 1
The remaining 7 is God's grace

1) yemito/com

2) keroline/com

3) paywik/com (The only SH approved) inspired from the word pay and week

I would like to know your take

The top namerific accepted
I think from your description no 1 is hybrid

Yemito..... Is short and memorable 3 syllable name (Ye/ mi / to) but it doesn't sound business. Maybe a luxury brand or fashion brand.

Keroline...... Plays on the word Kero/sine but Nothing more. Ask you self how many foreign countries that uses Kerosine. If there are none then getting an end user would be pretty hard so if you target Market for this name is africa or precisely Nigeria then it'll be a difficult sale. Of course you know Nigerians don't buy domains, unless they're top top business brand.

PayWik.... Makes sense. It is a hybrid brandable name for the word "Pay" with a suffix "Wik". Maybe suitable for a payment solution company.

But please i don't appraise domains o

Hello House,

My account is Back, After unjustly banned by nairaland bot yesterday. Thank God someone gave me the idea to appeal to mods.

A quick message to the newbies : i understand it is always tempting to start registering names. When u get small inspiration, you'll begin to think ohhh what a name this would be to register Well i recommend you read, read and read. Goto forums read about what people are selling, go to Marketplaces know what is selling there, goto namebio check sales stats. Why i recommend sale stats always is because what sales today has the capacity to sale again.

Make sure you ain't registering a name that won't sell. If that name sounds only good to you, then chances becomes it'll hardly sell. Don't be in a hurry to make decisions. Take your time.

Try to think a business potential for your new name before registering it. If it has none move on.

Use expireddomains always to get names from the drop. Chances that a name you got from the drop
will sell is higher than a name you regged. Especially as a newbie.


Don't forget to keep trusting in God that you time will come if it hasn't.

Peace
Goodmorning

The End.

To come bring this episode to a close. I'll like us to know that what i just gave here are Hints and Tips on how to make a better decision when embarking on the journey as a Brandable Name Investor. I always say that selling Brandable-names are
hard as compared to Geo-names which you flip every day. So if you must embark on this journey be sure you have a deep pocket (You have money you're not using, money you might likely spare or not needing for a long time). Brandable names doesn't convert into sales immediately, although there are some exceptions : Using myself as an (I sold Swiftrestore/com for $795 exactly 2 weeks i registered it from the drop and Cannatera/com like a month after registration. Both sales venue at afternic. Both names are all developed and running websites.
Now the bitter truth is that most times you have to be ready for longer wait than usual as a brandable domainer, although there are times you can get really lucky as i earlier mentioned. Hence, as a brandable name investor you need to wear a thick skin of patience should things not go as expected. But good thing is with the right knowledge you'll play into the right cards.
Secondly this Guide i gave is no guarantee for sales. It is just a pointer to step upon when making decisions. Hence it'll therefore be paramount to go on a deep research on your own to develop a model that will best work for you. Once upon a time i used to be a spectator in this thread, always dreaming and wishing i can have the same success as other who reports sales here (i was mostly inspired by the sales report of people like Haykay2005 and Farouksenior, both are brandable veterans who's sales reporting here gave me the needed spark. I will always tell myself if fellow Nigerians like me can make sales at BrandBucket then me too can.). But it never ended there, i was becoming a spectator for too, i decided to come out of my shell and started doing the needful.... Which is Research

And after months of hard work and research i was able to get my first sales at Brandpa and SquadHelp all thanks to nairaland and namepros. By the way I've been around for close to 6 years now but on a very low key at the beginning.

To become successful in this industry you need to develop you own Method, because what best works for Mr A might not work for Mr B. So don't sit around waiting to be spoon fed. Stand up on your feet and start making your researches.... The truth is that you hardwork will definitely pay off some day. (I'm certain about that)

Lastly I'll advice to us, when a registrar is running a promo try to utilise such opportunity. Many benefited from the last networksolutions promo. Should more of such promotions comes up in future don't be left out, reg names as your strength can carry you cause you don't know when such will come again. But overall Believe, Trust God and keep the hope alive you can become the next success story.

Shalom.

How to Pick the Right Invented Word Brandable name.

"Never forget. Invented names are purely made up words and do not contain English dictionary words in them"

How to Pick the Right Hybrid Brandable Name.

Typo error there in the sales report. What i sold was Digitlytic/com via afternic. Please correct

Again while combining a real word with a Prefix or Suffix to for a hybrid Brandable name ensure that the combination is Short. Let your Targeted Hybrid Brandable name be 6-9 letter words. The shorter, the better. 6-9 letters is the Sweet spot for fast selling Hybrid names. Check sales report.

Research what is selling.... It's very important
