₦airaland Forum

Hello guys, I added a name to Afternic and it's yet to show it's for sale when I type in on GoDaddy domain search. It only shows that the name is registered but their domain brokers can help one get it.

Is this normal?

this question has probably been answered before and I know answers are subjective. I'll like to sample opinions regardless

To those who've sold geo names, what's a good number of prospective clients you'll consider before buying the domain name?

Thanks

how much do they pay for PG?

thorrvik55:
I'm not sure I've read one single post here where someone says, hey, don't research or register a good name, just register any random name and pray..

They've all been saying after doing ur own part by doing all the research and hard work, prayer comes in.

Cheers.

Same here. I'm yet to see a post that says to lazy about and pray for your domains to sell.

Maybe someone can point me to that post.

Crazeworld:
Bro don't get me wrong. I'm not saying your prayers doesn't work. I'm just saying the emphasis on the prayer sales is becoming boring (not from you sef).

The advice I see given to people yet to record a sale these days are research, buy, outbound and pray. Like seriously?

Nothing wrong with this advice IMO. For those who are not religious they can skip the last bit but for the others, nothing wrong in adding prayer to 'research, buy and outbound'. As long as the prayer is to complement not substitute hard/smart work.

Please if you receive my PM, no vex, do reply

beckplanet thanks for your detailed post. More sales to you in 2020

How do you manage prices across all platforms?
do you review your prices once in a while or it's set and forget?

edit: I know I've asked this before but what tool do you use to manage your portfolio? MS Excel? Epik, Afternic?

ikhalyfah:
I use Excel for domain records
And pHone note/pdf for logins and passwords

I use KeePass for Logins and passwords.

On your Excel, do you delete expired names from your list?

@Everyone

For those with many domains. Please how do you manage all of them on one page, MS Excel, Dan, Epik, some other app means?

How do you keep track of all your names registered with different registrars in one place?

Love to learn.

Peace.

Please assist with a sample of the signature to use. thanks

guys I just received an offer of $1200 for my domain gamerinfinity.com
what do you guys think it's value is $1800

Left to me I'll accept, If you can afford to lose the sale then counter the $1800 and see where it leads.

With the traffic this thread has garnered so far, I'm thinking it will be good if Seun creates a sub section in the business section for domain talk/discussions.

There's a lot to discuss, however this thread is kinda limiting.

Good or bad idea?

Not needed.

They'll be dedicating resources to create something they're not sure of and could easily be mistaken for spamming and scamming. I'd understand a special section for digital services/products though that's also some form of duplicity.

Does this thread pull in more traffic than the cryptocurrency one?

Best Of Luck To All

Congrats bro

Please guys, I need epp. I've never sold a geo domain since I started domaining. What do you look out for before you purchase? what other information can you share to help my cause. Man need the cash flow for something important

Just curious, has any one sold a domain via inbound on Dan that wasn't parked there?

Crazeworld:
HOW TO SEND MASS INDIVIDUALLY CUSTOMIZED MAILS THROUGH STREAK
Alright guys. Don't follow this tutorial if you need testimonies because me never sell domain before o
However, you can learn to simplify your outbounding work by sending mails easily. I've also realized that Google doesn't lock my account since I started using this method.

This is called mail merge. You can send multiple emails (800 mails in 24 hours according to Streak) with just a single click. And that's not all, the mails can be customized to show individually the name of the recipient, organization, etc.

You can even schedule the mails to send at a later date/time and since the mails are personalized, your end users get the mail delivered like it was address to them only. In addition, the mails are tracked so you can tell who read it and who didn't.

Okay I see you are interested. So what do you need?
1. A gmail account that has the Streak app installed.
2. A PC (I'm not sure this can be done on mobile phones)
3. Your time (or you pay me if you're a lazy youth)

STEPS
1. Create a document using Microsoft Excel. The Row headings just the way I do mine is NAME, COMPANY, & EMAIL ADDRESS. Now fill the columns with the corresponding headings. e.g.
Crazeworld (Name), Crazeworld Consults (Company), ceo@crazeworld.com (email address).
Fill with as many end users that you have available.

2. When you're done, save the file as "CSV comma delimited" (very important)

3. Now open gmail in your Chrome browser.
Click compose
In the recipient box, click on mail merge.
Click upload CSV. Locate your CSV file and hit enter.

The Streak app will automatically select the email addresses as the recipients. If you have 70 end users, it will show you that you have 70 mails to be sent.

4. Enter your preferred subject line as subject for the mails. Like someone suggested, I use my domain keywords as subject. KitchenPlumber/king will be Kitchen Plumber.

5. Copy and paste your sales letter in the message box. Edit to you satisfaction. (Bold, Italize, etc.)

Example.
Hello Lala,
I have Nairaland.ng for sale. This is a good domain name for Nairaland Forum.

Now let's say the above is the sales letter you're using, it already has the variables I'd want to personalize for each end user. (Recipient name and company name like we have in our CSV file)

6. To personalize the mails
Highlight the "Lala"
Click on variables (you will see it close to the "send" button)
It will display the row headers you have in the CSV file (Name, Company, Email).
Select name. What this means is that "Lala" will automatically be replaced with the individual names for individual mails in the CSV file.

Highlight "Nairaland Forum" and repeat step 6 to replace company name.

When you're satisfied with everything you can hit "send" and watch as the messages get dispatched.

My fear is if this doesn't go straight to Spam folder since it is bulk sending. Will try it though.

Thank you

Branduche:
Enjoy your transfer
Proceed with it

Thanks bro.

Everyone, is this directnic $1.99 .com offer on only one domain? How easy is it to push or transfer names on directnic

Guys please I need your input.

I have a name at NetSol expiring on Nov 8th and I did a transfer to Epik today. I thought transfers were instanta only to learn this will be completed by 10-11-2019 which will be two days after the said expiry date. Will this affect the process?

@IdeasPro Can you review a personal blog of mine? I can send details via DM

Nezta43:
I do not keep record on mail sent per hour but I send out all mails in 4hours.
Not a custom email.

do you use free mailtrack?
can you view if your emails were opened, time of open and location of open?

IdeasPro:
Yes, you're very right. I'll do the needful when I come to that.
I'll set up a landing page soon. I actually wanted to get active
participation before taking the next step in order to save time.

This was why I was reluctant in the first place to create the thread
when my colleagues in business in the domain flipping thread
were prevailing on me to create a thread for digital marketing training.

It's God's power and strength I'm doing this. Some years back, the
devil struck me with a spiritual ailment that people thought I'll die.
God in His infinite mercies delivered me and I lost every fortune I've
made from the internet.

But this year, I'm coming back and better and I've every reason to
be grateful. This is a thank-you-Jesus gift to Nigerians and mankind

Thank a lot and God bless.

RESHARPENED:
To maintain the objective of this thread and ensure that we all get the ebook without encroaching IdeasPro time, I have created a Google Drive link to download the book.

Here it is:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iNN_K_8H8kU_HcCXLXCtDNPbvv95MLCT/view?usp=sharing

Nice one but let the OP decide if this works for him. He may need to curate a mailing list from those who download the ebook. Dunno if this helps achieve that.

My fear with NL threads is once you just say 'I have a material/past question/ebook' the thread turns to an email dropping zone.

Thank you for this selfless service IdeasPro. If there's a way people can drop their emails on a landing page and have the free ebook sent to them. I guess this might be some work, but it still helps create a mailing list, sends the ebook to parties that need them, saves you the stress of manually sending out the ebooks every time. Plus this thread is less congested with emails.

Now following this thread.

So much happens here in a few days you have to read at least 10 pages to catch up. No further comment on the voting matter.

For those who are just starting, please read this thread. Infact, read the whole thread. If anyone meets any domainer to learn this biz they'll say the same. If you don't want to spend time reading endlessly, then go for a paid class through Iykepromotions to bring you up to speed fast.

But be rest assured, you will still read.

And here's a tip: Make a note of all important points. You can use MSWord or Notepad on your system to copy and paste stuff. If not, buy a notebook and jot things. You'll keep referring to them.

People are more inclined to help you when they see you've put in some effort.

IdeasPro:
@Damble, you've been DABBLING into online business without focus with all due respect. Why?
I can relate to you and all you needed was a coach or expert to guide you. I started internet
in 2007 when I saw SuccessDigest magazine with her.

Like you, I attended Success Digest seminars and workshops within that same time. I discovered
something unique about online businesses: THERE IS NO SECRET ABOUT MAKING MONEY
ONLINE. Every online business you decide to venture into, first prove it to yourself before
you step your feet on the door.

@iykepromotions started this thread after he successfully sold DanBaba.com. He has proven
it that it is doable and possible and then opened a masterminding and brainstorming thread for
all of us. I bought his ebook too to tap into his wealth of experience even though I know and do
domain investing already.

Your first step is to forget everything you know about online business and start as if you're a
newbie. Second, be a DOER. The best teacher is experience. Ask questions when you're stuck.

I'll train you and you'll use free tools to get started. So, you'll not spend money but time to
earn money online. I've transversed all online business opportunities and I know the ones that
work in Nigeria. Stay blessed.

The link in your signature leads to hostgator. Please update. Looking forward to your thread on affiliate marketing

I love this ur background o

Epik landers are actually nice.

Congrats Cdor777. Your post got me misty eyed. Please keep the green flag flying. The .co promo got me infected with Epik and I already love them. Will transfer my names from NetSol once they expire.

Congrats to all recent sellers, even when I leave domain for days and weeks , this thread always gets me fired up again. God bless us all.

Craigbrown4076:
That's the way it is... And I believe their selection of unregistered names is more curated, compared to seller-owned names. All my unregistered names which i submitted got rejected.

Well just make do with what you are given... Strive to own the names you submit. I believe we will all be better off.

Did they send you a rejection email for the names? Suggested like two names since and nothing since. I don go register one of the names keep
