Jimneighbour:
Good evening boss @Learner47 please do you send your outbound in bulk and is your follow up email automatic? If the follow up is manual then how do you manage to do that? Like me when I send outbound of let's say 10 different domain names to like 200 end users each, how do you manage to send the follow up and not get confused..... Because me I get really confused... plus email sent are many and sometimes I don't really know which one I have followed up and the one I haven't..

Please I just want to know how you send and follow up different domains names to different end users without getting confused and frustrated.... Thanks

And thank you for all the contributions you have made to this group, na boss you be even though you no want accept say you be boss for this game

If you use gmail to outbound:

There’s a feature available for gmails: LABEL
You can label certain emails any name and then sort by that label.

So say you just pushed “Yaba Realtors” which you maybe saw 200 end user emails. You can label all 200 mails sent as “Yaba realtors”

Following up is easier that way and then you can know which account pushed which.

Also, you can color code the labels. From your message, the challenge you’re experiencing is that of organization. I believe this can help you

Hope this helps

Thank you guys for your kind words…

I truly appreciate

Keep the good work in catfish hatchery

Hatchery
Water:
Running an hatchery, one major thing that can’t be compromised on is your water. There’s no remedy, no go come, no save this leave that. Once your water is bad, it is bad. No need to try to hatch. Okay, so enough of “it is bad, it is bad”.

What’s the recommended water standard you may want to ask.

pH of water is a major determinant. Most breeders have a liquid water ph test kit which they make use of. As you know, acidity increases as the scale tends to 0 while alkalinity increases as the scale tends to 14 with 7 being the neutral point and recommended point. Using the ph water test kit, The three major colors are red, green, purple. Red indicates an acidic water, purple, an alkaline water while green is neutral. Other colors like yellow, orange, blue may be gotten too. When you have this kit, you will understand the different color indicators and what they mean better. It’s actually nothing serious.

So, you want to hatch?
You want to start up your hatchery in your backyard/excess land perhaps, your first step should be getting this kit. You should test your water yourself as this would further inform your decisions as you go forward. Knowing your water status is the first step before starting up with any structure, because it’s only after you’ve known your water status, that you can now choose the structures you want and must put in place.

Now, personally from experience I would tell you this. All what I said up there is correct and true but one thing that supersedes it all. Have your own water source. I don’t mean your own borehole but have your own water. I’d explain.

So mr A, after reading this but didn’t read to the end went to buy his liquid water ph test kit and tested his water at EVENING time one beautiful day, he found out his water was neutral or green, which means it’s safe.

Now, here are questions you need to ask yourself:
What’s my water source? Borehole? Well (pump in well)
Where’s my tank located ? Overhead?
Where am I testing my water from? Tap mouth or direct from tank?

All this questions needs answers before you can go ahead. I will create a clearer picture of Mr A to explain all this.

So Mr A has borehole water as water source (pump machine drilled into the ground), lives in a story building with the sole tank on the top of the building as it should be with all houses that wants water to rush from their tap.

So my message to you that falls in the category of Mr A.

As a graduate of hydrology that I am, I am telling you now that the ph of any water isn’t constant. It varies with time and season. The whole world is a system and it functions as such also. The ph at 6am in the morning isn’t the same as 12pm in the afternoon, same with 6pm evening. This is most especially true for you that has a borehole as a water source. Even well-water source owners too. Water travels, even underneath the soil, it’s traveling. Borehole water also has little to no Dissolved oxygen. Now using the liquid ph test kit, if the ph difference isn’t significantly large, you might not notice it because the color indicator won’t pick something so small. Say it was 7 initially, if it changes to 6.5, the color would still be green might just be a diff shade or so but little changes might not be noticed. Asides using a liquid ph test kit, a much more accurate test would be the electrical test instrument. That’s much more specific by giving you the ph value. Some goes ahead to give TDS and DO values too. With this instrument, ph changes I mentioned can be noted better. So Mr A testing water at evening time might not meet that same ph value by morning. This I have seen and experienced myself.

Asides that, where did Mr take his water sample from?

Well considering the fact that he is not Spider-Man nor a relative of Spider-Man, he took his water sample from the tap downstairs.

Now back to me being a student of hydrology, water they say is a universal solvent. You must have heard that before. There’s a Yoruba saying about water being able to dissolve stone sef but who is patient enough to wait it out. I’m not sure if it’s a Yoruba or English saying.

But what am I trying to say? Water can dissolve anything all it needs is time. Now these things it’s dissolving all have their chemical components also. We humans too have. Now these little little things dissolving in the water are already changing the chemical structure of your water. My point? You need your own water tank dedicated specifically for just your hatchery. One where your hand can reach.

Temperature also affects water in an overhead pipe. More so, fries don’t need warm water. I think this covers both questions so you get the picture now.

Next I’d be talking about what to do when your water is acidic or alkaline.

Lastly, any typo and the likes, please no vex

Hello testing 1 2 1 2 testing 1 2
January 2021... May 2022
A year and four months, that's how long I had not updated this thread.

I didn't stop being a farmer, as a matter of fact, i am a farmer by heart.
I really love this profession with my every fiber, why you may wonder,
well that's because I've seen it all, faced the challenges, made losses, made a lot of wins also.

I didn't plan to abandon this thread because when i started it, i was most happiest that i took the bold step to learn it. i am not one to paint a good picture of everything, everything cant be good, everything cannot go as one has planned. Life has happened to me. i have also happened to live it the best way i know how to.

asides from being a farmer, i have always being a designer, i also have another thread here that's longer than this, lol, i guess i have documented a lot on nairaland here. crazy stuff. just search for "my journey to being a profession" in the graphics design section or check my profile for my threads, you will see it there, it might interest you, maybe.

so im really grateful to nairaland, this is me giving a vote of thanks because i can say i started most things i do today on nairaland. its been a really good place for me to network and meet friends, make connections and also make business contacts, cheers to more. i feel very comfortable here unlike the other social media apps maybe because its a very faceless forum here which i like.

join me as i restart this thread with stories of my wins, losses and my life in general. I'm actually not shy to say i incurred losses in the process of mastering this trade. why? because though i failed and made a loss, i discovered a way that's bad in this hatchery business. Now what i do when intending farmers reach out to me to come consult for them, help them set up a farm or troubleshoot a problem they are currently facing in their farm, all i do is tell them what i did wrong and how i made a loss. that's enough first hand teaching imo. Experience was my number one teacher. so my mantra is just, since I've experienced it, let no other person that comes in contact with me experience same.

My name remains Daga (my real name is on my other thread i think, for now, Daga is my initials combined)
watch out for updates in coming days.

for anyone interested in my progress, attached is a picture of a fish from one of the batches i kept till table size (yea, a story for another day)
Cheers...

IdeasPro:
Yes, high volume and clean backlinks is what veteran SEO guys evaluate. And you cannot just do it without using paid tools.

So, getting a domain keyword that is not penalized is not enough or using ExpiredDomains.net criteria only.

Chief, you’re quite knowledgeable as regards Seo and blogging. I’ve seen your previous post regarding the mentioned. I have some questions if you don’t mind shedding some lights for me please. Can I send a mail?

Character

.

TechSkill:
Oh, he is the seller of MellowTiger?

I remember that name. I thought he had never revealed anyone. However, on such a note, he should have just mentioned that he used to reveal but stopped for a reason and that is understandable.

And if I had to stop revealing names sold for a reason, I would rather not give price and blur out or hide what I sold because at the end of the day, it is no different from not showing anything at all.

Some persons are already saying this is an attack or beef but this person is not someone you can blackmail into submission. Now picture this...

The first domain thread, everyone says they sold a domain name for $$$$ but didn't say what was sold, the next person comes did the same, and every other person does the same, nobody is saying what is sold.

You as a newbie come on the thread, you look around and noticed it is the norm, would you be motivated to even give it a try or you will exit the thread after your patience runs out?

Most of you trying to gaslight or bully others into submission are only doing so out of selfishness because you ALREADY KNOW domaining above average standard. Assuming you were starving of the knowledge you won't even support such a trend or attitude because you know it will not benefit you at the end of the day. You would rather gravitate towards those who are revealing what is sold, people like Iyke, Uche, haykay

So why are you encouraging it? Oh, I get it. You know domaining already and therefore, to hell with those that are just starting. You fail to realise that IF the thread starter towed this same line, you won't be here, neither would you have any domain sales to your name. But you are supporting a trend that would have killed your spirit... Someone should help define selfishness and self-centeredness, please.

iCauseTrouble, I have nothing against you. I was only trying to maintain and encourage the culture or spirit that has sustained nairaland since its inception.

I will always speak the truth if I see something wrong. And yeah, I will reveal the person behind this handle when it is time. Happy Weekend.

I’m looking forward oo

iykepromotions:
very correct. Truth be told, some sales report motivates and inspires. A friend once told me a sale he made for 4 figures, I registered similar keyword and sold it $500 within few days. Would this have happened if I wasn't informed? what's the message you're passing when reporting a sale without revealing the domain name? How would others benefit from it?

But not every sales you can report if you still wish to explore the keyword or the niche more. These I usually do. I still did it last month.

Grand patron

Humblemax:


Thanks man.
My first sale, I outbounded to just 20 end-users, was still outbounding when someone made an offer which I countered and he accepted and paid immediately.

I wish domaining was that easy everytime.
Lol

Omoo
I think you were made for it oo Chief
I can tell you for a fact that not everyone has your start and that alone makes you stand out

I’m sure you enjoy reading too cos you must have gone through all the Dos and donts plus technical knowhows thoroughly thereby leaving little to no space for error

Well done Chief

Automolite:


Lol...bros, the elders dey the fight oh.

Na the grandpatron ( Oga Iyke) we need to settle this matter

Grand patron
We Dey wait you sir

Buh honestly, Na the elders dey fight sha

Gpexchange,

No be so he mean am oo

Geofavor:
Wahala no dey finish. I miss being active here ..

I agree to a full report anyway. But then, we can't really tell people what to do and what not to do on a public forum. As long as they're not violating the forum's rules, they're good.

Thanks to the bosses who've kept the thread alive.

This sold last year
$1999
Hold time: 8 months

Was this sh reg or you owned it

People blood hot o

Shock

He dey call you dear sef

EtimAbasiama:


It will leave don't worry. No rush am

toby345:
this guy sha Boss Sapio actually has nothing to say though IMO

Lol Chief, the reason I mentioned him is to hear his take too, he seems to be someone also in the middle of this whole matter too.



Off topic, one reason why this group is really fun is when I see big men like you acting like newbies. Like that whine you dropped up now now

Sapiosexuality You’ve not said anything since

iCauseTrouble:
So this underage fool is a scammer and online begger. He was insulting me with his snillocer account some weeks ago for concealing the domain name I sold. He even extended the insults to Alawi5k yet he came with with his catastrophic account to beg me to show him way.
Thunder fire you. Wehrey!!!!

Like brooooooo, do you know how sick one has to be to do thissss,

It’s like having two personalities
Reading the whole gist, I’m feeling like I’m watching that glass movie or what’s that movie with a man with 7 beings in him,

How do people think

Omooo. I usually check this thread every day, so you can imagine my surprise when I saw the thread has flown four pages forward, wetin dey sup!

Honestly, there’s a statement you keep making which i thought i talk about,

one about your power bank is still with me

I don’t know if I should note this as a mentality issue or something, your mentality/ thought process is deceptive, purely DECEPTIVE.

He doesn’t own the powerbank, he bought it for you from the goodwill of his heart, saying “your powerbank is still with me if you want it” seems to me as you trying to garner Favour from people, (at least he said he still has the powerbank), if you’ve sold it how are we to know, It’s yours and I’m sure he won’t collect it from you, he might not even have power issues sef

once beaten twice shy, a lot of guys here would think twice before even replying newbies.

Enu o kuro laara yin sir, only you, anyone reading this thread also learns the kind of person you are.

Being truthful won’t cost you anything o, ahnahnn

Everybody get him own for body oo, na cloth just dey cover all of us.

The interesting thing here is, I’m not sure you understand the gravity of what you did. Cos if it was that easy people no go dey shout drought.

And then you’re still mentioning due process,

What you should have started with
Na ban go teach you now

Gpexchange:
Na Wetin I dey ask since...I just tire....maybe na A.com

Omooooeaux

Sapiosexuality:
Offers from where? For what names? Names you've not paid for? You think that's how it works? Just go on Dan and list anything that comes to memory. You think that's how it works? What are you doing?

Dude is going to get blocked!!!
TF is he doing?? Got offers? How to register?

Omooooo

tranxo:

You want to register the name you already sold at Dan?

That his reply made me burst out

Omooooo is all I can say

Did this guy even go through the thread at all

Sapiosexuality:
Yeah but he can still ask if they don't mind him contacting them once he can push it to another registrar.

true
guess the ball is in his court

IdeasPro:

Quickly change name servers to the potential buyers preference now. Even if the domain is registered with Epik, transfer and pay $10 to sell it. Business is about taking calculated risks

That would depend on it not being under lock

budosky:


With all these problems, you go take 5k?

e reach to ask honestly
he should have added system specs too sha

Mr2kul:

Following...
What about Porkbun??

Same applies
I used that

Omobola121:
I really need someone to guide me through on this domain stuff. I have been following keenly and i want to start. I will pay for the training.

Kindly quote me if you can put me through. Between, I'm a fast learner so i won't stress you.

I can also teach whoever is willing to put me through arbitrage (currencies and coins arbitrage, giftcards etc..) incase you don't have the knowledge before. I currently make nothing less than 300k every month from this.

Hmmm... how can I contact you?
