Crazeworld:
Boss I'm yet to hear from you

I've been busy lately bro. Sorry tho...

Your request was not specific enough to know if there's any exact keyword you're looking for because the e-commerce space is broad. However if you consider a keyword in like "mart" which is synonymous with the e-commerce industry. Check out the following 5 names


Martoly
Martoxo
Kozmart
MartBrite
CartBeta

All available.

Names i would have love to suggest but they were already registered.

SwiftMart
Martnaija
MartNG


However I'll suggest if you need name for a serious project maybe you'll look to using the squadhelp name suggestion service, it'll cost you around $100 and you can get as much as 1000 names suggestions then you can pick a suitable name from there.
Goodluck with your search.

Peace

paysketeers//king was coin by me from the fusion of payment and musketeer, as a brandable domain.

Cc: Beckplanet, Simpsonrocket, Josmila, Paulsir, Etin06, Branduche, AYORICH and other brandable pros.

Pls critice.

Sketeer is not even an English stand alone word. I did a background check. Nothing interesting. I don't know how you guys come about with word combinations. But the best fit for a good 2 keyword brandable is (English word + English Word) and they must make sense together with some kind of flow or connection. Example : TechWorld, BookPlanet, HealthCare, SuperMarket etc. I've said all this before.

And between combining a word with plural is a no no for me. Unless it's a super premium in demand popular term. If not i don't even give that a thought.
Nonetheless Goodluck with your name.
However those outlined guide is the basics to lay a foundation on next time.

Peace

Crazeworld:
Good morning family. Please I need your help in coining a befitting domain name for an e-commerce store I want to build.

I want the name to reflect a store that provides quality cheap flash deals on fashion and jewelries. I beg the brandable wizards to help me out.

Congrats to all recent sellers in the house. More sales to each and every one of us, amen.

Sales Report:

Domain name: S/M/A/R/T/A/P/P dot io
Registered @ NAMECHEAP IN OCTOBER 2018 @ $32.88 + 1 year Renewal @ $30.88
Sold @ SEDO in November 2019 @ $699 BUY NOW - inbound

Seems the buyer just waited for me to renew the domain before snapping it.

Thank God for this.

Congrats bro. Really smart name right there.

Farouksenior:
It is funny how you n oda guys somehow make SH the basis for brandables. Infact as far as mainstream brandables is concerned , SH no follow.

Those weird sales are a product of mass number and great marketing by SH

Get 1000 names , somehow, 1 or 2 go click.

SH marketing helps [ your portfolio should be at 300 > upwards if you want to do gambling with your hand regs]

I have sold on BB, SH etc.

Excerpt it be a Trend, you must spell it in good English.

Domaining is a number[s] game.
The higher the quality of name you have the higher the chances of sales occuring

@Beckplanet was kind enuf to do a deep analysis [i no get dt kine tym ] here BUT you prefer regging anytin and leaving it to chance well, u say luck.

I define my luck bro

That’s why i said last week RENEWALS will be the JUDGE

I wish you the very best going forward
Cheers

Exactly bro

You said it all Bro. Let me buttress on Few points to note from your advice :

1. Don't make Squadhelp the pinnacle to measuring what brandables should be or not. Like @Farouksenior rightly said.
For me i rate brandbucket above them in terms of Quality and Acceptance model.
Sometimes i even wonder accepting names at squadhelp as something to do with their Mood. Lol maybe accept more names when on good mood and vice versa (Because accuracy of acceptance is not consistent and most times leaves much to be desired of)

2. Like @Farouksenior rightly pointed out, don't Reg misspellings or wrong words, When or not the keyword is in trend. As for me i rarely have misspellings in my portfolio. And come on guys who would want his company or brand to bear a misspelt word. (most times you got to think like the end user while getting a name). There are some exceptions though when the name is super short and ultra premium (not 2 keywords misspelling like I've been seeing here lately)

Finally stick with what works for you. Don't join the brandable train because you see people joining. I can attest that Geo names sales Quicker than brandables and gives better results too. Also i see a lot of people report Geo name sales here almost every now and then unlike brandable which take a while. Hence i repeat stick with what's working for you and try and become a master there.

Peace

Kelmania:
Thanks for your efforts always.Pls, I would like to ask a question.Is it a good practice to sometimes add 's' to a certain domain when it occurs that it's s'form has not been formed.
Example: shadow bag.com==shadow bags.com

Singular + plural ( more like an Exact match product name Rarely a brandable) Already Explained before.

africanman85:
Bro pls I will like to know the parameters you use to filter good domains on expireddomain. Net. You can send to my email: africanman85op@gmail.com or WhatsApp me on 08032655418.

Explained Already Bro

Nothing to hide here Bro, I've explained how i go about my own very model of Domaining here (bit by bit) without hiding a single step. Follow current names trends and what's selling, like I've been saying before and now it still doesn't work all the time. Domaining is 50% hardwork and 50% luck (grace).
I don't explain things personally when I've already explained it here. Kindly re-read my guide on this forum (In case you missed) a lot of valuable informations there. And I'm not a pro yet, so equally read every single thing from every other oga's in the house and learn from them
, also at namepros. Then afterwards develop a model that works for you. In Domaining you might be surprised that the model that work for those you look up to may not work very well for you hence you got to develop your own. Else everything will still be like rocket science to you. But when you follow your guts and it produces result no matter how small it is, you'll be more than convinced that that's the way to go and all you need to do is repeat what works for you and simply add to it as Time goes on.

Let me be Clear Again : Without Having your own model in Domaining you'll be wasting your time. (That's blunt talk but the Truth)

I wish you all the very best.

Peace

lajid:
Sir pls i have two questions
1. Do you opt in for afternic fast transfer or not when you list a domain
2. Do you register domains based on researched keywords or do you register expired domains.

1. Afternic fast transfer is a 60 days stuff. I've sold names within 2 weeks of listing there. Afternic Fast transfer is good and helps give your domain name exposure in different registrars and marketplaces that are afternic partners with and it also fastens transfer process when name is sold, more like automatic transfer
But that doesn't guarantee a sale. A name can sale within 1 day of listing @Afternic if it is in demand without the afternic fast transfer. But afternic fast transfer its advantages regardless.

2. I use expireddomains all the time for both geo and brandables. I only hand reg brand new names only if there's a new trend or i got an inspiration (which in most times rare stuff). So 95% of the time i use expireddomains.

Peace

paulsir:
question
I have brandables on SH with SH parking @ say 2700,can I list it on afternic at 1000 or less?
beckplanet and others

Squadhelp, Brandbucket, Brandpa are all Exclusivity modeled marketplaces, meaning when you list we them they don't permit you listing same name elsewhere because you agree to their exclusive rights when listing. Hence when you list elsewhere you go against their terms. So you list at your own risk because these brandable marketplaces frowns at it. And when caught listing elsewhere it can have effects on your account with them.


Peace

tosan200:
Good one boss. Quick question: For the brandables you sell at Afternic, do you outbound them or wait for an inbound offer?

Just inbound (Sweet spot $105 - $750) depending on name quality. Like I said before it's a waiting game. You just sit on them and hope they sells. That's why knowing what to buy (Register) is very important.

Peace

FESTAC101:
Beckplanet,you are a great guy!
What do you think of Brandpa,I think they are more lenient in accepting names because I have many names rejected by SH but accepted on BP, even though I am yet to register them and pay the listing fees.

what do you think,bro.

Yeah, Brandpa is less strict in what they accept and i stopped listing names there months back.

Take a look at these stats to get the clearer picture

My stats at brandable marketplaces :

Brandpa = 48 published names (1 sale) in 2 years. I currently own 30 published names there (i either sold some at namepros or let them expire because they were not good enough) but there's lack of activity at brandpa lately so i won't recommend them for quick sales.

Brandbucket = 25 published names (O sales) over the past 3 year. Currently i own 9 published names there. I sold the rest at namepros for reseller prices. BB is still number one brandable marketplace no doubt but are best suited for the big players. Those with hundreds or thousands of names in their portfolio(make regular sales there). BB currently own over 80,000 names in their marketplace, so definitely less chances you can make a sale there although there are some expections.

Squadhelp = 48 published names (3 sales) in 6 months i joined them. Currently portfolio there (75 names premium names(owned by me) and 3 Squadhelp owned = total of 78 published names.



Like I'll always say brandable is not for everyone, stick with what works best for you. (Brandable is a Waiting game while Geo is Quick cash once you buy the right name + right buyer)

So from the stat, you can decide for yourself. And BTW brand charge $5 to list a name with them while Brandbucket and Squadhelp do $1 submissions( the later in form of coins). Although they still go the point for submission option.

The Cracker (Afternic)

Lol, Truth is i have sold more names at Afternic (15 brandable name sales) in 1 year alone than i have done with all the brandable marketplaces combined. although prices are lower there as compared to the brandable marketplaces.

More oil on your head. You're a genius.

makaecoman:
I can't view PMs so I'd just post the names here. Sorry for the delay

Lol bro I'm not sure if most of these brandable names here are good enough.

For example

Cana and leef = (wrong word + another word) combination.

Cbdleef ( well don't know what to make of that)

BitHubb (you don't combine 2 keywords where one is wrong, it's a red flag)

Parkwella ( I think you were using the Nigerian concept on this one well, it doesn't work well with brandables)

Foodbration (sounds right but Too long)

Herbyys( I don't know what you mean by this double y + s lol. herbis would have been better)

Herbyss ( another wrong combo.)

Foodaniac (lol, niac is a suffix but with letter "a" in BTW the food and niac makes it a 3 keyword brandable not really attractive)


Brandzify( Well Brandify is much better)


Coinnyt (Coin + nyt didn't actually insinuate much thought and BTW watch the double "n"

Kushabis (sounds nice but Well "kush" names doesn't have alot of sale history at moment)

Smartovate ( Really long)


Med and herb (kind of flows well together) but only good for SH listing

Anyways kudos bro for coming up with the list (ain't easy) though i won't recommend registering most of the names in there to avoid losing money.


Peace

kenralph:
If I recall correctly, I think I've seen where they said names could be rejected on the grounds that there are too many already listed in a particular niche. Perhaps that's what happened with that one.

Every rejected name isn't worthless. One must however be careful not to cross the divide between really good ones and their really crappy counterparts.

@Beckplanet, @therealMcCain and other brandable men around, what are your take on your company rejecting Codefuly/com?

You're correct, names can be rejected on the basis of similar names already listed in the same marketplace. However this may not be the case all the time. Some names can be rejected because they are not suited to target audience of the marketplace (Due to Poor quality or not being brandable enough).

Now coming to "Codefuly.com"

Code is a strong keyword and a Dictionary word also. And i believe any strong dictionary word will do well when combined with "Fully"
i.e Dictionary Word + Fully = Good name
Hence Codefully.com makes more sense.


This is because "fully" is partly a recognized English word. It Can stand on its own or can act as a suffix or prefix to any English word.

But I'm not sure about "Fuly". Hence Codefuly.com fails short of not being a complete English word combination.

For example i did a quick search on both "Fully" and "Fuly"

On Namebio, Brandbucket, and Brandpa
And here are the results

On namebio
"Fully" keyword records 71 entries in sales result. While
"Fuly" keyword has zero search in sales

On BrandBucket
"Fully" keyword records 184 entries in search result. While
"Fuly" keyword has zero search result.

On Brandpa
"Fully" keyword records over 50 entries in search result. While
"Fuly" keyword has zero search in sales.

This search results reflects the value of both keywords although domaining is unpredictable at times and anything can sales but to be on the safer side having names with higher keyword Demand is an advantage.


Peace

Congratulations Bro. More sales

Nouragen/king sold on SH

SH registered name

Listed on Sept 3.

Price: $2,249

My commission: $562

8 shortlists (we should really pay NO attention to this metric). Contest Likes is a truer buyer sentiment indicator.

Bought with 6 months installments, so I have the first $93 now.

(I made a point to activate installment payment on all my domains, to reduce purchase barrier for serious buyers)

Let's hang in there.

beckplanet:
Hello House,

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

8 to 10 days after the domain sale and transfer/push. You will get the alert within 2 days. Choose dollars.

Thanks Boss.

iCauseTrouble:
Please, why do you wanna change to wire transfer?
I want to change from wire transfer to paypal because of the $26 charges on wire transfer

I need to try it out and see how it works. Between I've been using PayPal(exchange) for the past 4 years on afternic. It's good to sometimes taste new waters. if experience is good, I'll stick with payment coming directly to my bank account than through exchangers.

schullten:
Choose USD.
It will take you 3 - 5 working days after Afternic has posted, to get it in your Nigeria account.

Wow, nice.

Thanks for the swift feedback bro.

Ok, and i decided to change my payment method on afternic from PayPal to Bank Wire transfer. Please can anyone lend me an elaborate guide on how it works, how long it takes to receive payment with the bank wire options directly to your bank account from Afternic. And again if i have to choose NAIRA or USD as the currency option.
A response will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Good morning house
How do I respond to this an end user sent me?

@ Branduche, Iykepromotions, Cdor777,beckplanet

Sale and move on.
Then invest in better names after the sale.

richkal:
Congrats to the recent sellers more sales to us by God grace. My prayer has been answered. If i am @FaroukSenior I would tag that atengy along any time I want to drop sales report for those two domain names in order to let him know that Naija are balling hard in domaining business.

Highly unnecessary bro

Lol, i am no expert bro. Just learning like everyone else.
Well op may have other ideas, too early to decide on that. Remember Nigerian businesses has a different scope to foreign counterparts.
And between not too many Nigerian startups don't use brandable names.

KubwaBoy:
Good morning everybody. Welcome to the last day in the month of September. May next month sales supersede what we have this month.
By the way, my colleague and I are working on a E-commerce store that sells shisha and hookah. We currently need a good name for our brand so we decided to seek help from the gurus here.
1. Name must be available as we do not have money to buy already registered names (dot com)
2. Name May contain / may not contain hookah / shisha
3. Name should convey related idea to shisha, hookah, smoke, pipe
4. Must be easy to remember and pronounce (radio test).
God bless you all as you give us clue as regards the name.

Everybody is invited to contribute

Nice concept bro. Goodluck with your search.
i came up with a few ideas.

Disclaimer : All names are available for hand registration. At the time of posting. Kindly leave them unregistered till op decides otherwise.


PipeMetro/com
(Name hints on the keyword metropolis which evokes the thoughts of a town. Relating to a pipe shop around town)

PipeKiosk/com
(A perfect blend of pipe and kiosk conveying e-commerce)

PipePura/com
(Well though it has alot of p's in it. Pura is also taken to mean pure. And makes a good brandable sound. A fun name that evokes the thoughts of a pure pipe shop)

Pipemo/com
(Contemporary businesses likes to add the suffix "mo" to their name to give it a fun style and a catchy sound. So I'd say ; Short, catchy and Memorable)

PipeMerry/com
(Well I'd like to say that people likes merriment and the perfect blend of pipe and merry can only convey ecstacy)

PipeLux/com
(A nice play on the word pipe and luxury. A luxurious pipe shop.)

PipeVera/com
(A natural name that combines pipe and vera which means true in Latin. Hence a true pipe shop)

Names i would have loved to recommend but were taken :

PipeKing/com
PipeCafe/com
MetroPipe/com


That's my 2 cent bro. All the best in your find.

Peace

Simpsonrocket:
@beckplanet or other gurus. Did you fill any tax information before you withdraw from SH. And how do you fill this?

Yeah, you print out the tax form. Fill in the details required and send back to them via support chat or mail. It'll be confirmed within 24hours or so.

Cheers.

Lol, Nigerians and Drama sha

Lessons to Learn from the Incident

1. While dealing with the White, don't show too much familiarity or feel excessively comfortable. Most of them are businessmen and can sale you out to their advantage.

2. In our walk to regain serenity and trust, we must refrain from unethical practices. No matter how you try to look at it... What was done is wrong in any internet community. Be it a marketplace or auction house. Shill bidding / voting is always frown at. Because it skews what would have been an accurate judgment.
Hence when the issue of shill voting was brought up here, i wanted to warn against it but being the Nigerians we are i knew they will not hear(Some people will call me enemy of progress sef)
But least @Haykay2005 did.
By the way, i won the Hand Registration Contest, conducted at Namepros in one of the 3 months Edition earlier this year but no nairalander knew about it till this day(i involved no Nigerian but my name won with over 50 voters). Because i know that votings like that in a public forum is purely based on merit.
If there is one thing the white man loves most, it is honesty and trust.
That is why we domainers should conduct ourselves in such honest manner to gain trust and reliability.

So let's call a spade, a spade. And be thankful that some persons at NP are defending us, not because we are right. But because a few honest Nigerians have conducted themselves online with real honesty overtime. Hence, we mustn't be judged based on hastly generalization.
I repeat, not because the act done is right. Hence let's learn from it and present ourselves better next time.

******Let's respect one another. I observe that it has become common practice here for some persons to call out someone for maybe personal rift or whatever the reason may be.
This is bad conduct and might slow down the progression of this thread. Little wonder some veterans and heavy contributors are more like observers nowadays. I recently saw someone mention me somewhere that i swinged the focus of everyone to brandables at some point with my reported Sales and guide. And i laughed after reading that. Reasons being that I made it clear in my guide back then that the brandable market is not for everyone and i warned on sticking with what works for you. But I believe some skipped that part . Hence after such comment, i decided to keep a few things to myself than sharing and causing trouble.
By the way I'm still a learner and not a pro yet. So also learning from everyone else here.

*****Lastly, let's work together to bring Nigeria back to the top. Let's make it so that we can be proud when the name is mentioned anywhere across the globe. Some persons are working hard to make this happen, let's join forces to makes Nigeria great.

Peace

abeg how long does it take for payoneer card to arrive our dear country Naija

I don't use Payoneer card bro. I make direct withdrawal from my Payoneer account to my local Nigerian bank.
I made a tutorial guide a while ago on how to withdraw directly to your local bank using Payoneer. Check page 632 of this thread.

Peace

etin06:
Wow! Big congratulation. How many shortlist did the name receive before it was sold?

About 30 shortlists. But i don't subscribe to that being a pointer to a sale. A name that'll sale will definitely sale even if it's only one shortlist. All it needs is one serious end user.
