Hello guys,

With the negative PR Epik has been getting what do we think about still using Epik landers for our Epik names?

Leave it at Epik?
Afternic?
Dan?
using url forwarding to a GoDaddy domain search page (Name will be listed on Afternic for this),
other options (please share)

Thanks

edit: or do we think the PR won't have any effect on using their landers

2sexycom:
Yes, we have often said this... even iyke said it.

also try duckduckgo

duckduckgo is a gold mine

samuelchimmy:
With 51 extensions taken. I wonder how much it took betking Nigeria to acquire betking dot com

The plural sold was sold for $15k in 2017.
Same year betking came out and points to the same nameserver as betking

I often think about this. Also means that they were serious with the biz. Just like GIGM owned by God is good Motors

Congrats bro. God bless your home!

....So I got this real estate geo domain name for Austin,Tx around November last year.
1. ED picked
2. With over 7 outbounds e-mails sent to over 50 mails, yet not a single reply.
3. Even reduced price to $100 when I needed cash urgently still not a single reply.
4. Followed a lead on Twitter who ended up following me and he has never said a word or showed any interest in my sales offers.
5. Epik sent me severals mail to renew but I kinda dragged my feet to renew it
6. A sudden feeling struck me to renew it and I did for 2 year period on Epik
7. I was surprised to find out yesterday that Godaddy, Dynadot, and Name Cheap have all tagged it as a premium.
8. I just laughed and increased the price and not even interested to send any outbound mail but to hold till the day an inbound mail comes.

Names llisted via Afternic are shown as premium when you search on other registrars. or there's another premium I'm missing

meetme01:
The owner will eventually buy that domain considering the legal charges involved. He was lazy. Imagine, Facebook drops, you think Mark will sue or negotiate? especially when he knows that the new owner cannot be tried under the law. Trademarking works in their own clime not here. He's trying to play on the recent owner's intelligence.(digitminimi)

If you own that domain, slam 3yrs expiration and 5K landing price. The lazy and lackadaisical owner will come over to negotiate. Don't fret. You have nothing to loose. The buyer does.

So much to point out in your post I no know where to start from

@bolded Mark will sue you without blinking. No be all TMs them dey try this stunt on o. Like 2sexy said, some of these TMed brands with deep pockets don't care about cost. All they want to do is protect their name and deter others from using it maliciously. Heck, they even go for names registered before they got their TM to try and hijack it. Sometimes it backfires. But as long as they have a clear-cut case and deep pockets, odds are not in your favour so no need to form Galadima

I remember a thread on Nairaland (I think) where the guy registered one funny Facebook clone and even said it's a social media site. Facebook reps messaged the guy 2 seconds

johnoj24:

@bolded you can split the keywords to avoid google indexing it.

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]

Regards,
[Your Name]

Thanks Awesomeduru. Your copy is on point as always.

What of a situation where the domain stats are not worth showing? say a brandable but the enduser is asking stats. Was in a similar situation yesterday and sent a pretty honest reply I feel should've been better worded. Enduser seems to have ghosted at this time

what card works with Netsol? even my paypal reports an error (Ecobank card)

donsheva:
Yes, I saw the news about PayPal dropping them, there are lots of political undertones and Epik stance on free speech and hosting of Far-right domains. But I really enjoy his banter sha. I read on DNW that Masterbucks was the cause of the paypal ban.

I applauded their initial stance on free speech. Think they finally caved and stopped the hosting. In this weird world of cancel culture, social media bans, silencing of voices with different opinions, it was a refresher seeing a brand take a stand against all of it.

donsheva:
Rob Monster and Nigerians, I was just listening to a podcast today and he said he helped a nigeria guy sell city/pianomovers for $850 by having a phonecall with the domain buyer, that he is very happy with the Nigerian domain community but i wonder why he seems to get a lot of hate among a large part of the domaining community.

Rob and Epik has been in the news for some time for different reasons. Recent was Dan, then the PayPal ban and their reply to it. That being said, he and his team have a wonderful product in Epik and Masterbucks. Plus his promos, support for Naija domainers.

I love Epik.

Crazeworld:

It's indeed a crazy world. Sorry about this bro.

Hope they didn't lock your funds with it?

ikhalyfah:
Hi everyone, trust everybody is doing great. It's been long.
For the past 2 months i have taken break for about 3weeks (my longest break), and some other resting times.
I've been active but barely.
Congratulations to past, recent and future sellers.
More sales to us all!
Regarding the blog, I've found time to add a post.

EGUNSOLA14:

Simpsonrocket:
Yes as at yesterday

can you share the code?

Hey guys, is the netsol 2.95 still working?

Glory and thanks to God Almighty!

- With the Florida sale, I experienced the dreaded DAN payment issue first-hand. I might not have been aware of it were it not for the follow-up I did to all contacts after the initial emails. I was contemplating to stop doing follow-ups that don't involve price reduction because I didn't notice any benefits; only apparent inconvenience to leads. But this incident has made me rather confused about whether to stick to that decision.

#WeMove

You had a great month bro. The sales may not be up to $350 each but they do add up nicely . Congratulations

@bolded I worry about this and stop sending follow ups on some older geos of mine after a while. I feel it's pestering endusers. I should probably do give away for one or two of these domains

How often do you send follow up/reduction emails over the year on a single domain? can you share the letter you use?

Juanmata48:
congrats bro i jettisoned them because of the same reason

Same here. I don hang boot for their side

Should any of my two accepted names sell there na better testimony be that

Promxy94:
Hello house

What's up with the dot realty promo on epik.

Hope some of us are catching in, i just picked up one dot realty.

Tried some locations and saw some hefty prices on them then walked away. Epik did a great job with the list they gave, I'm passing for now

congrats to all recent sellers

who scrapes emails around here, what's your rate and expected delivery duration?

Liftkid you're a very patient person and have a lot of time on your hands.

Good thing it's now been sorted.

Congrats to all recent sellers.

thorrvik55:
Congrats..

Was it an inbound sale?

Outbound.

thorrvik55:
True.. The bolded happened to me like 2 months ago.. Enduser replied with "Take me off ur mailing list."
I replied with "Okay, thanks for letting me know." and let him be.

After some weeks, he mailed me asking if the domain was still available. I told him, yes and directed him to Dan. He paid immediately.

I should start replying those type of mails. It's simple courtesy I reckon

sadiqcholel:
You can do it yourself.

Click on the domain name and click on EDIT, then Untick the YES that is ticked under 'Was it sold?'

Save Changes. That's all.

AYORICH:
by quoting "@simon please do relist this domain if buyer has not paid by the time you receive this message " in the transaction box for that domain. worked for me several times.

Thanks guys

Hello guys,

On Dan.com, how do I relist a name that the buyer has agreed but not paid?

How Do I Respond When An End user Request For A Domain Analytics

https://aisabdomains.com/how-do-i-respond-when-an-end-user-request-for-a-domain-analytics/

Nice bro.

Question: do you always counter the first offer you get? and why if yes or no. Any story to share about accepting or rejecting the first offer you got?

Thanks

Qulink1:
Is it about names not dropping today chief
They notified us earlier

Thanks

Anyone's ED acting up?

fergusen:
This one hard o.

Tell am say na online agency with worldwide reach. Tell am say na domain investor you be. Tell am say part of your business involves identifing good opportunities for Business like their own, to boost the visibility of their brand online.

Like, a lot of Business are unawares of the availability of domains like the one you are pitching to them. So you acquire such domains and notify businesses that might benefit...

This could backfire sha..

Thanks for the effort man. See what I sent below, I just close eye hit 'send'. Yay or nay?

Thanks for your reply xxxxxx, yes, I can explain.

I wholesale domain names as an online agency to businesses around the world.
Part of what I do is identify the right domain names for businesses like yours to help boost their brand's visibility online.

The domain acquisition process is handled by domain marketplaces such as GoDaddy, Epik, Namesilo etc. The marketplace acts as a broker in the whole process which takes a few minutes.

For example,www.domainname.com is listed on Epik.com and also available on GoDaddy.com (as a premium domain). You can purchase through Epik or GoDaddy and they'll broker the transaction and transfer the domain to you.

Hope this helps.

edit: the domain name used in the example is also the domain name im pitching

crudedude:
"Hello,

I was not sure if it was a spam message or not. Where are you located? so do you wholesale domain names? buy for cheap and seller to highest offer? Or can you explain what this is all about?

Best Regards"

Enduser sent me the above. trying to think of a response that'll answer the location question without mentioning where i am actually located. Any takers?

thanks in advance

Anyone?
