Buy Domain Only You Believed in - Not what Stats says: To the newbie reading this, feeling excited seeing sales with 4fig. it's true no amount of reading will prepare you ahead of buying that domain for $9.99 You pay for the name, why? Simple answer, Your instinct tells you I can sell this domain (uninformed presimistic stage)... 6 month gone but no sales, this is the cross road that define the presimistic and optimistic person. Same way there're informed and uninformed presimistic... Let me change the narrative, Spam isn't your problem, all you just need to do is stay in the day one mindset with a new perspective "You pay for the name, why? Simple answer, Your instinct tells you I can sell this domain". You can either be informed presimistic or informed optimistic. I would encouragement you to be optimistic, work hard and believe but regardless, offer value to your endusers... with GPT and Claude there are billions way to create problems and solutions as a content to email writing... anything that offer value and solution first before follow up pitching next. (Another post coming up on outbound days and tone patterns matters) Here is a general and quick way to HR/ pick ED domain without stress. 0. Any domain or keyword with Google pages full of sponsor ads grab the domain and think later... lol A. NICHE FILTER (Must pass 3/4) i. Average job value $1,500+ ii. Ongoing / repeat demand (better if it's emergency eg roof leak or plumbing) iii. Businesses already running ads iv. Keyword causes visible pain (awkward URLs, poor rankings) ❌ If it fails 2+ → SKIP B. GEO FILTER Tier 1 or Tier 2 city Commercial activity visible Multiple operators (5+) Market not price-sensitive If city feels “quiet” → SKIP hack: specialist medical and law niche are ONLY for Tier 1 cities else OYO. C. DOMAIN STRUCTURE CHECK i. Clean read in one breath ii. No hyphens / gimmicks iii. Obvious service + geo OR strong brand geo iv. Passes “would a business owner use this?” test If you hesitate reading it → SKIP If you can’t visualize a buyer → SKIP I will stop here don't want to go deeper... of course there are always exceptions. Top tiers 1: Texas (Dallas, Houston, Austin) Florida (Miami, Tampa, Orlando) Arizona (Phoenix, Scottsdale) California (selectively) Losangeles newyork miami dallas houston sandiego sanfrancisco DFW chicago atlanta phoenix Scottsdale McKinney Westchester Mid-tier 2. Austin nashville tampa orlando fortworth denver seattle sanjose sanantonio lasvegas scottsdale irvine orangecounty sanmateo oakland (All construction and handyman agbero) Tie 3: smaller or less competitive cities columbus cincinnati cleveland indianapolis milwauke stlouis kansascity minneapolis pittsburgh detroit louisville Gems don't sit on the surface, you have to dig the earth for them. Hardwork, persistent and consistently pay. Applied knowledge is what distinguish a winner from others. Edited: To abide with intellectual/patent rules of the wasap group I belong. I have modified the Sales image no copyright/conflict of interest. regards

100 Registrations, 5 Sales It's been a long time coming, so I was really looking out for my next clue on a particular sale of mine until I found my way back to my past archives, then I rememise and appreciate the little details I shared... I couldn't have figured it out if not that I documented a few sales. Appreciate everyone keeping this thread alive. I believe there's always something for everyone willing to do what it takes to get it done. The journey was never smooth and indeed every good thing requires tons of hard work... no short cut... You wanted it, go for it I have seen best of best domain never got sold worse case, sold cheap and I've seen worse name in quote sells for high figures. I have send out 100s of email with fine templates/ sales script without a single reply and I've send out emails with just a subject line ( no body) that got sold immediately. I've hurriedly accepted low ball offers that never converted and later sold high when I least expected. I've worked and placed all my bet on that champion domain that never ever yield only for the one I neglected abandoned and given hope on sold at it 11 hour. I've gone a whole year streaks without Sales just at the brim of giving up, was shower with multiple blessing of sales... It got me wondering, Big world! Something are just placed in a perfect way to be a coincidence. I took a break to go figure out life squarely. It was them I realize life is a scattered piece 🧩 of puzzles (every tiny pieces matters never ignore be conscious), everyone has a unique story to tell. Until your beliefs, your values, your goals, your desires, your daily actions and your habits to become who you have always dreamt off all align together as one, your effort/hardwork is just as good as the goals and purpose you've set in the right direction to achieve the vision to become who you've always envision and dreamt off... no more, no less... every other thing outside this spectrum is external noise. My advice: Never take another man's advice given to you, it's just about their reality of roadmap. infact most advices are inherently selfish. Best advice is the one you give your self in the darkest moment. Only if the person is where u want to be in life take it. Never ever cap your dream... if your dream is to buy food and have just enough to pay housing rent buy commercial okada ... everything would work out only for that purpose. Dream wild and big. Never envy want you want but don't have... How can you attract what you hate. Rejoice with the rich and those making sales... Every Egyptian Pyramids has treasure and Gold inside it... search inside of you... There lies your unique strategy. Never ever dwell on the past, focus only on future... Don't dwell on seeing problems always... let your brain think of solutions always regardless of your reality and circumstances. A eagle and a snake can prey and catch a rabbit... But eagle never uses snake strategy likewise Snake would never copy eagle style... Everything I've said think about it and Create your style. Don't be the snake in the eagle's Shadow.

[color=#000055]No matter how far I abandon this thread, I will always find my way back. Kudos to those that keep the sales energy flowing. .. below are few sales All HR and Outbound. More sales [/color]

Person wey go buy domain no dey waste time. May this last quarter favour us all. Thanks.[/color]

[color=#000055] Researching on Geo, isn't by SV, CPC or those bogus metrics on ED filters... It is by two things (always exception): Geo city competitiveness on their url + the keywords. Eg. Using the keyword " Luxuryrentals " on Ed search then follow the filters... Above, Scroll through the results... If for instant you consider a geo good enough lest say you find Fortlauderdale + luxuryrentals... Then scan the url on Google map desktop results for first two pages... observe how competitive the location is ... 1. Observe the endusers urls : see a few Google url results below: luxuryvacationhomes fortlauderdale floridaluxuryrentals sunriseharbor ftlauderdale luxuryliving fortlauderdale berkshire lauderdale bythesea ftlauderdale vacationrentals This is enough competition to consider this domain. 2. Look out for varient on Dan.... Save your self the stress visit Dan and check using same domain Fortlauderdale + rentals: Once you observe too many similar names with average/low price or alternative keyword like, HomeRentals , ApartmentRentals, VacationRentals.... Advisable to skip... Obviously you all are all spannming same users. (Always exception) If the name is available you can go ahead and reg it. C. Add more selling Niches to your filter You can find what was listed on Dan everyday by other Domainers using Ed filters... Below is a filter for Geo Dan category, you can do for Goddaddy etc... Star/watchlist potential listed domains and check back if it got sold 2-3 months from now... E get why. Also you can check back previous thread page for past sales and compile all keywords, using the method above run though Ed... You would find enough gem... Some might have been on Ed since 2008, 2013, etc... This is refreshing for endusers. Lastly, nothing bad risking $100 to buy 12 names and hope to just sell just one for $100 or $200 or $500 range... This is not a financial advice. Thanks... [/color]

[color=#000055]Hello. Been a while. Been on & Off but still keeping up with this hustle. I noticed most of my sales, if not all have varient registered soon as I reported them. Anyway good luck!! Below are few tips to guide you on registering domains. Present and past sales have shown that, handreg domains sale mores, over 70% then drop reg. To clearify thing, drop reg are domain you registered the same day it drops on expired domains. Otherwise, handreg are domains you think and combine from your head. But truth is nothing new under the sun, and No new idea is invented, you only remodify it. The handreg domains that zap your brain powers might be there lying on ED Easy way to hangreg a domain using Ed filters. For simplicity sake, I would break this down to three parts 1. ED filters 2. Research to know what to pick without wasting time. 3. How to constantly find new niche from Dan new listing. [/color]

raphemmanuel:[color=#000055] Lol you funny Sha: You can take a rest, but never give up without putting your best. Good thing can take time, and everyone here cant denile fact they don't feel that way atimes. So giving up with "just " domaining is like giving up on life. Tell, we what else can give you 5million naira every month without SARS holding you ransom. Back then, always dreaming of my first sale. Surfing ED always searching for the right name. Every night checking back, on NL thread scrolling by, with my broken pad, opening 69 tabs, my jotter, my father, my notepad app, my mother, multi tasking both side by side. Those few nudget drops I got, here from the boss, motivated me so, every night and day, I keeps scrolling through ED, twicking with new filter for potential leads. Already gone too far, to fail, because tell me, what's the gain if I don't get my first congratulatory message in this domain. "Now, I'm getting it steady, on and off, even as ED gets dirtier, I still got the ginger seeing newbie happier receiving inbound after months of endless outbounding. study the thread, If you have no job, take time off, do other activities that make u calm (jog, fball, gyn etc) take care of you mental health. Have a positive mindset, Care for your loved ones, with little you can. Last for those that resonates with grace, make sure u are always surrendered with abundance. peace Then cycle continues [/color] |

sammyrollo:[color=#000055] Firstly, Untold truth People never share: For every such of one domain that sold, there are other nine lying in the portfolio with no assurance it might sell with a year. Secondly, Register domain from the perspective of general users/buyers with a business orientated mindset (look beyond domain stats.... What do I mean: 1. Some kinda of business needs a domain to dominate & function eg: wedding caterer, courier, rentals of anything, contractor service, limo, Movers, vacation, tattoo removal etc.... Usually one time service with no permanent clients. 2.While Some Service doesn't need a domain to work and be relevant eg, a groomer vet, locksmith, med doctor, band show, repairer.. As long as there is enough regular customer coming and referring them, domain can pause. Don't EMD them. There is always exception though. This also applies to Geo names, reg name with popular location! Everyone know this. Should you want to reg a location you haven't heard of before, ...Make sure to check map and do research and see if more popular places are within the territory perimeter of that location. If it's true, they would always overshadowed the location in the enduser/local preference of economy/livestyles... Real estate/ Realtor names fit into this cateria Major enduser can do anything without d web guy. web guy doesn't want their clients to trust other people apart from them. They advice against external ideas. This applies to EMD (Exact Match Domain) Any Small coy with woman as head and or there's web designs name/logo in the website is a no no. Think about it, chiro, dentist, EMD usually falls in this categories. There's exception though. The whole purpose is to target, independence hustling business or old guy biz. Anything good that would bring job is a good idea eg. Charter, plumbing, all custom builders, investigators, logistics, event hall etc. Handyman jobs. You can study @OP (ikye promotion past sales for more on this). Thanks [/color] |

sammyrollo:Let's Extract means LE is a paid desktop software. You can Buy as individual or in group for discount. Clear Bit means CB: google chrome extension used for desktop or with mobile phone when you use kiwi browser ( mobile app). You're entitled for 100 searches per account. @ BOOKWORMLUX you can have many CB profile account by having different chrome user profile for PC. On phone is stressful because u would need to clear chache and History. To change account. There's is no right way to domaining. I outbound on weekends and midnight Nigeria time (depends on location, my email just has to drop towards evening time enduser's time). Emails after working hours are unexpected and might need urgent attention; my opinion tho. @ therealMcCain; It's all about trust. Also, you still get to domain processed by Dan when you enroll your domains on open distribution platform on Dan/GoDaddy channel. Just price your domain higher on GoDaddy. Interested buyer would buy regardless. Cc Greenscientist Borntosmoke |

[color=#000055] @ massive1019 I would appreciate if you can give a lead on how to go about having custom mail, which registrar you use and plan. Here are few things that worked for me: Here is thing I normally do use LE, then use CB for authentic email. The more CB email you got, the better. I outbound from 8pm to 6am. Almost all my sales drop at night. Use a very crafting sales letter with subject, then follow up like you know what they're thinking. Most follow up are majory 3 times in a week. Just like aggressive outbound. You would get, reply, someone demanding questions or another name, clear their doubt... That all [/color] |

evb2000:Thanks for opening this thread. If I may ask, can you give ideas of topic of books that solve people problem you have written in the past. This would go a long way with our research model. Thank you for sharing. evb2000:Okay, that is so kind of you. You're really doing a great job for yourself. You talked about newbie finding a mentor, You painstakingly mentioned you aren't ready to mentor anyone which is very understanding couple with the journey ahead of you. I would have been more glad if I could at least get through with the great mentor that mentored you, since you aren't available, I mean too busy to mentor newbie. I realized other folks has already requested for same ordeal which you quicky replied back that you have discussed with your mentor about it, but he's too isn't available for mentorship as he likewise busy. How wondering who will mentor the newbie since both you and your mentor only have the one and only original training. I am more concerned about newbie falling for those fake courses circulating on Twitter and Facebook since it is only you that can identify the originals from fake one's. To the newbie, gather all the motivation in the op post and start your journey to the top. Hopefully he would come back in five years time to give more precised guide and maybe mentor you all when the niche is flooded. OP, May God strengthen your inner strength and I pray, may your ink never run dey in Jesus name. Cheers. |

Rankett:[color=#000055] Sorry for the Mix up... Can't edit my previous Post as NL bot, keep locking me. Domain sold for USD 275 Dan sent USD 261.25 Which is 5% commission from Dan if you import lead. During the process, after agreeing and negotiating price, I imported lead, later same day buyer went to make exact offer on Dan which I accepted anyway. So I guess, buyer later pay through the import lead. This amount to 5% commission as opposed to general 9% comm. $261.25 send in GBP which is equivalent to £230.89. Thanks. More sales [/color] |
