Sorry bro, i don't appraise names. Especially in the brandable niche cause the brandable niche is spontaneous (Meaning that what might be brandable to Mr A, might not be same for Mr B) Hence even me is still learning the niche. I'm still a learner too.
But i can recommend to you and anyone out there the best method to know if a name is fit to be termed a "Brandable" or not. It's simple method.

Using your name as an example "Customizable + AI" (In my opinion the first keyword is too long though)
Now using the above name, head to the 3 major brandable marketplaces(Brandbucket, Brandpa and Squadhelp) . First Type "customizable" in the search box. If you do this and it brings alot of search results related to that keyword then it is a pointer that the name is popular then do same for the second word and finally follow your guts if you feel the name is worth it.
Guess what, when i did just that for "customizable" at Brandbucket, Brandpa and Squadhelp the result was "no search result" though this might not be the only way to measure your name brandability but it goes a long way to tell you much you need to know about the name.
I use the above method always to check what's fit and a what Not. Like i said earlier it's not the only/ultimate way, just a pointer to check brandability. Sometimes I still follow my guts if i feel a name is that good.
Please i don't appraise names as I'm still learning and brandable is hard to appraise. So if quotes me for name appraisal i might politely ignore such.

Finally, that a name is not brandable doesn't mean it won't sell though(Geo names has been selling more than brandables since Adam). What sales names is Demand.

Peace

Yeah 95% of my SH listed names are Premium. Currently at 105 premium names there. Though i have a few names i list on "Basic Plus" basically for contest submissions.

IdeasPro:
I'm touched by this guy's statement especially the bold one. Here is how to get a domain name that will give you response from potential end users. Firstly, know how to use Google Keyword Planner. I cannot emphasize this enough. I pasted a link for a free ebook download on how to use it previously on this thread.

Next, enter your keyword and choose your target location, say US, if you're targeting United States of America. Launch your keyword tool to get additional keyword searches. For example, one of us reported domain sold few days ago, i.e RowlettFlorist-com.

Let's dissect this domain name. Now, enter "rowlett florist" in Google keyword planner tool without the quotes, okay? What can you see? Rowlett florist as a keyword or search query generates an average of 100-1000 search volume per month. That is good.

Secondly, go to Google.com and enter "rowlett population" again without the quotes. What can you see? A population of 62,868 (2017 census). That is a good statistics again. You may aim at minimum of 50,000 population but this is subjective. The best teacher is experience in this case.

Thirdly, look at the CPC (cost per click). It reads $1.09 minimum bid and $3.78 maximum bid. If Google Ads advertisers can pay $1.09 for a click that will not guarantee a sale of a product or service, that is also a good sign of a good keyword.

Armed with this information, all you will be praying to God for is to make the domain name available for you to register. Most of the time, good domain names are already taken. This is where the hard work is. You are panning for gold so you have to be prepared like the Boys Scout motto.

The only reason you cannot sell that domain name is when you don't do enough outbound marketing. This is the reason why you see a domain that has dropped 3-5 times, is picked up by a domainer with outbound marketing DNA in him selling a domain that dropped. You begin to wonder why others before him were not able to sell it. They probably may have been sitting in their couches waiting for that inbound impulse buyer that may never come.

Do you know that when some people check domain name availability and discover it is taken, they don't bother to make any effort to buy it from the incumbent owner? They don't know that there is a business called buying and selling domain names. Until you hit the pavement to find buyers, you may hold that domain till eternity or simply allow it to expire.

I have taken screenshots "Rowlett Florist" to buttress this example. You should start having buyers' response as from now with this additional information. I release that anointing upon you by God Almighty that we serve! Amen!

But remember to give your testimony here when it works for you!

Boss, please how do i source for the personal email of mangers/owerners of Businesses?

Let me drop quickly some findings, doing outbound. We may find this helpful

Subject Line :- Always include your domain keyword in this field and make sure you put "Inquiry" or something related e.g "Inquiry For Lagos Bus Transit", since you're pitching to someone who sells or render such service in Lagos.

Reasons is that it is highly targeted subject line and would have a higher opening rates to a single or short phrase line like "Notification, Inquiry, Urgent Inquiry" etcetera, which are often seen as spamming.

Addressing One's Self :- I have had better chance of closing a deal when using "We" rather than "I" to best of my knowledge a potential buyer feels that since you represent a team (might just be you alone) then there is a chance what you're pitching to them must be valuable e.g
"Hi, my team is looking at selling....".

Sometimes you would get a counter offer (let them know you will talk to your partners about their offer, after which you can reach out to them and accept or counter. As if your partners have made a price decision) or that they would like to speak to you, then you let them know that your specialty is to send out email to businesses but they can call your partnership and mention the particular domain name they're looking at acquiring to them (here you provide DAN or Afternic number) but you would be available if they've got any questions and concerns via emails.

Be Specific :- Tell them why this should be valuable (don't ever talk on traffic stats of the domain) below is an example of what you can mention in your pitch.

1. This domain name can help your business website rank better on web search engines it gets up to 91 exact searches buy potential clients monthly on Google.

2. Competitive keyword, has advertisers bid up to "$3" for the exact keyword "Lagos Bus Transit" to place ads on web engines

3. Non hyphenated (please only if your domain doesn't have a hyphen e.g Lagos-Bus-Transit).

4. Domains in .com extensions are effective for optimizing your websites performance.

Finally be a good communicator, make sure your grammar is well written, and always include a paragraph for a fresh point. We all enjoy eyes appealing writings. Keep your sales funnels simple and well explained.

Best of Luck.

Gratitude to God
Thank you iykepromotions and every single person that contribute to this thread.

seuncyrus:


Thanks bro
1) https://www.nairaland.com/3430037/what-make-money-online/910#83902592

2) My domain is a state wide domain so I wasn't restricted to a particular area. So all I did was search for association of immigration lawyers in texas xls the xls means excel spreadsheet ,so you'll get results (if they are available) or you could search for "immigration lawyers in texas directory" or " immigration lawyers in texas members" that's just the keyword variation I use, if they are available you'll see them

3)You need to download streak for your gmail.You need it for the method in 1.

Essont:
Please are BestKidcare/king and northgateconstructions/king good enough names, and where would they be categorized as brandable too?


P.S: The keyword northgate stands for strength and a city bears that name too.

Please bosses aid me on this. Thanks.

ajog1:
Greetngs house, here's the question. Is there anyone who has ever gotten a response from several custom emails(those 1nfo@domainname or admin@domainname) you outbounded to?

IdeasPro:

Free hosting is not an option here because there is no much flexibility. For places where you listed your domain for sale, you will only list and not use their name servers. You will make use of the name servers of your paid web hosting company.

My opinion: I see a lot of aspiring Nigerian online entrepreneurs shying away from paid web hosting. TOO BAD! Investing in paid website hosting service of about $141.49 for 3 years is something you can get back within 6 months even if you are a rank beginner. And you can do so many things with your account such as creating custom email address, 301 redirects for affiliate product links, setting up e-commerce store with WordPress, etc.

Always remember that you invest money to make money.

AwesomeDuru:
Atlatic? I'm hoping this is a misspelling. Aim for those cities with higher population, say, 150k or more.

Autoworkshop/com would have been better honestly. Just go with dotcom for now.

AtlantaRoofingCompany would have made a lot more sense than AtlantaRoofCompany.

As for Chinaartificialturf, concentrate on US Cities alone for now.

Honestly, I'll advise you read more here. The names you have doesn't reflect that of a domainer who's been in the business for more than 3 years. Or you can contact iykepromotions. He'd be more than happy to help.

Keep buying more good names, your sale is always one buy away.

Best regards.

Tulsasolarpower/king is available. Anyone?

Heyzee5:

Bro, keep the hope alive! Some of us were in your shoes before our breakthrough. One principle I learnt during those long years of waiting is that ''the more your domains, the higher your chances of hitting a sale''. Also, try getting domains in this order ''Geo + Service'' and focus on geos for now. Lastly, pray! God bless!

AwesomeDuru:
Since 2016? Hmm. Drop some of the names on your portfolio here, someone here might help to point out some of the things you're doing wrong.
