I concur with everything you said except from the highlights; Nigeria problem is deep, Both the leadership and followers are confused and everything is in total shamble.

Yes, Nigeria leadership problems are deep but you're working in the reverse order and positively so. A time will come when you and I with positive and progressive minds will obliterate the evil leaders in this country. As far as I know, darkness cannot comprehend light. Let our leaders continue with bad governance but sooner or later, the good people of Nigeria will bring them to their knees.

Please can someone give me the numbers to the pages where beckplanet shared his 2019 testimony in the domain market. I think I need that to boost my life line in this domain biz...

Not a single sale since last year... I am hopeful... I need to just feast on that testimony again... Thanks

Cc: Beckplanet

No TEST, No TESTIMONY. Your test and BeckPlanet's test will differ in timing. Maybe your test is 1 year before testimony comes. But it will definitely come if you don't give up.

Don't even mind Rob, this isn't his first time of saying this!!!! Another person I don't really like how he comments on Namepros is Frank-Germany!!!!!!

I want this to be ingrained in your DNA all the days of your life. It is not what people say about you that matters but what you believe you are. Nobody can make you inferior except yourself. Build your money making systems and take a vacation in their country. You can even shout out to Rob and Frank-Germany and tell them I am in your country with just $200 they say you are making to tell them how cheap their country is.

A confused man will always say yes to anything someone else says he is so that he doesn't look like a fool or dunce. But we are not confused Nigerians, they were lucky to be ahead of us technologically. In any field of competition, there is always an underdog. Nigeria will soon become a technological hub and force to reckon with. It only lies in the womb of time.

the owner of this website is a SILENT Millionaire... do you know ED is massively infested with affiliate links? so when you buy a domain name through them, they get a cut... now imagine the number of people who use them daily

You've hit the nail on the head. Beyond that, the owner is investing in his retirement. Sooner or later that website will be sold for big bucks. This was how DomainSherpa.com and WarriorForum.com changed hands.

Hello Sir, I have not been able to access your website.

I'd like to know if your digital marketing training promo for Nairalanders is still on?
And how long does it take?

My website id working perfectly from my end. Please, always check if your browser is saying "time out." You have to close that browser tab and re-enter the domain name again. Yes, my promotion for Nairaland.com members training for digital marketing training for the first quarter of the year is N5,000. From the second quarter, I'm upgrading the training $47. The training is personalized and it is for 90 days .

Thank you

@ideaspro

Check, it seems hostgator is down.
Topwayacademy.com is not opening while am able to open other sites like Dan.com

https://www.topwayacademy.com is not down. Even if you use naked domain or unsecured http, it will still resolve to my secured domain https. Check your browser. Thank you.

Just imagine what Zenith bank is telling a customer thats trying to hustle. GTB will welcome you with open arms. Visit a branch tomorrow.

It's as if their marketing and web/social media staff are clueless. They are not feeling the market pulse. Pride goes before a fall. They will soon fall from the BIG 4 banks in Nigeria if they are insensitive to market demands.

Your sense of humour na die.

How about starting a classified ads directory for short-time places. The proper term is "Short-Rest"

Great idea but best if you use a plugin for WordPress or software developed for that purpose.

SALES REPORT

Domain Name: I/n/s/t/a/n/t/c/a/s/h/f/o/r/h/o/m/e/s*COM

Venue: Afternic.

sales Date: Jan. 23

Sales Price: $375

Hold Time: 11 months

Purchased: $1 Netsol Promo.

Processing took about 7 days.

Afternic released payment on the 4th of February.
The payout was in USD and that led to some hitches with my local bank - Zenith Bank. I was told that my account can not receive dollars. The back and forth took almost two weeks. And I had to write a letter.

Finally, Zenith Bank credited my account today, being 17th of February at the rate of #363/$.

I was warned that such payment would be REJECTED in the future.

Zenith Bank is waking up now. I pity them. If it was before, they will return that money within 3 days to the sender.

ElonMosque:
Good idea of using Linkedin to contact prospects but won't they run away when they realize you are a Nigerian?

Say NO to this thinking and mentality. If you're good at what you do, people will beat a path to your doorstep. Not everybody will do business with you not even in Nigeria but the few that will do will make you happy financially speaking. Today, some white women are still marrying Nigerians. Have you asked why when Nigeria name is all over the world for the wrong reasons?

You may not hit the ground running from day one but you become a force to reckon with over time in your own little way. This is why you have to look beyond making quick cash and start building your own business except you're here for "short time." Those who use IEatPussy as their monikers will know what "short time" means. LOL!

Big bro theres something i need to ask you, How was it possible for a domainer to redirect his web name to his portfolio/profile on DAN.COM. I don't want to drop the domain here, the owner is a Seller who uses the domain as his company website. However when you click on it, It takes you to Dan where you see other names he is selling. I like that. Saw the guy on namepros

2 ways:

First, from his domain account with registrar, forward the domain to the preferred URL. Simply look for domain management section, locate the domain, type the destination URL in the blank field and save. For example, if you type or click https://www.earnmoneytutor.com as a domain name as of writing, it will redirect you to another website. This was done from a domain registrar's account as URL forwarding.

Second, if you have paid web hosting already set up for the domain, simply do 301 or 302 redirect from your hosting dashboard for that specific domain name.

Fastest Way to Make Money Online

If you're looking for the fastest way to make money online, this short and concise post will guide you. Unfortunately, this money making system is not for everyone or stark beginners who are just starting out.

Why? Because you need a bit of digital skills and experience to set things up seamlessly. Otherwise, you'll get your money burnt like a stick of lighted cigarette.

Here is the fastest way to make money online right from the comfort of your home. I've done it several times and it works like charm.


1. Decide on a niche market you wish to target as an internet marketer.
2. Find problems, need or gaps in this market.
3. Find an affiliate product or service to promote that solves the above problems.
4. Research long tail keyword phrases with 100 and above average monthly search volume. You can use Google Keyword Planner tool to do this for free.
5. Create a free lead magnet e.g. free ebook download, video, slide, etc to give away for free.
6. Buy a domain name and purchase web hosting.
7. Create a blog for free using self-hosted WordPress blog.
8. Get email marketing software to set up lead capture page. You can start with 30 free trial of GetResponse autoresponder service.
9. Create and publish epic content on your blog targeting a keyword of 1,000 and above monthly search volume. In this content, include secondary keyword phrases that could regularly generate free targeted traffic to your website when it starts ranking on the SERP of major search engines like Google.com, Bing.com, etc.
10. In this epic content, place a link to the lead magnet page on the same website but not on the first and second paragraphs of your content. You don't want to run foul with any of the terms and conditions of paid advertising companies like Google Ads.
11. Now, sign up with Google Ads and create an account. Set up your advert and make the URL of your epic content the destination URL.
12. Start getting visitors as soon as your advert goes live.

Remember, you will not pay Google until one month after sign up or when your set budget is reached whichever comes first. As it were, if your affiliate product is good enough and the unique content on your blog pre-sells the product favourably, your readers will sign up and download your e-book.

In the free ebook download, you will include links to the affiliate product. You also have the opportunity to continually market to your newsletter subscribers if they did not buy at first instance.

The initial cost to set up this system will be the money to register a domain name and buy website hosting. You can bootstrap other online business tools to make it work. If you follow up the above system to the letter, you can make $200 in your first 7 days of running an email marketing campaign.

The challenge really is writing an ebook you can give away for free. But there are free resources that can also help you to do this sucessfully. If you want to try out this money making system, let me know through PM/direct message. I'm creating an ebook with screenshots describing how I do it.

I will be giving the electronic book out for free but you may have to sign up for our online business newsletter to download it.

You'll succeed!

Please, I need your reply. Don't neglect me question.

Where and why is the word "group" in the domain? It's not necessary.

laykhorn:
Hi Everyone!

I am building a portfolio site and creating a personalised mail "sales (@) mydomainbrand dot com" for my domain portfolio and make it possible to make offer on the site just for better professional outlook. All domains are pointed to Dan.com (undeveloped) and carry this brand name but I am not sure if this move is right for a few reasons

1. I will be sending outbound mails with this brand mail, I think the general public doesn't know this as a business really. Do you think this will be sort of "Give me your money for a domain" that may be a turn off for prospective end users or they will embrace the brand better than some random somebody who sends them an email.

2. Do buyers become more open to deal with a brand or get turned off?

Has anyone tried doing this? What was the experience of mailing as a brand instead of a personality?
Is using a mail such as "sales@domainbrand.com" a good one or using "hello@...." or "name@...." more appropriate? Nobody likes to being sold and sales scream "I am here to take your money".

Is this a good move or waste of time?

Branding is by far better in business communication. But to make it trust worthy too, you must have good reputation in the past (i.e. footprints). Personally, I don't use sales@domainname .com, I use dnoffer@domainname .com because no one wants to be sold from the get go. It has been working for me.

You cannot say anything about a buyer. Everyone is different until you meet your prospective buyer. There are buyers who don't even know the difference between custom domain name and a free email ID like gmail.com.

So, reach out, reach out and reach out. Your results will tell you what works for you.

ikhalyfah:
Why do you think they will purchase a misspelled domain when they own the correct one?
Unless if u have evidence of "misspelling traffic". And it has to be a good traffic

If it's not Panadol, it cannot be the same thing as PANADOL!

Kenturkey048:
Can someone use a web hosting company like godaddy and still promote to use and UK ??

UrVillagePpl:
@ ideapros, @2sexy @khaf
Please do u have any idea on what's causing this.

My Dan.com sale landing page keeps fluctuating (it lands and next minute it isn't available).

Example: lawyer dot king takes me to Dan's landing page.
The next time i try, it takes me to another page

It could be a glitch. Otherwise, check your nameservers

2sexycom:
I do not understand why end users will agree to a price, tell you to prove you own it and when it is time for payment, they start looking at your email like lucozade..., recording various views... and nothing is done...

Do you know that some white men and women are alien to how online business works. Some don't even know how to check Whois data. This is why majority of them will ask you to call them. With phone lookup service at their disposal, they can quickly verify who you are before they start any conversation.

boss that's the issue here oo! I don't have any of the documents they asking for, it's only voter's card I have . they have alrdy rejected dat one .

If the money you are expecting is more than the cost of procuring international passport, why not go and get your passport. It will save you the troubles that may arise from other platforms too sooner or later.

Niom:
Getting a domain name less than $10 is correct. But what about hosting? You didnt say anything about hosting which is also important.

Hosting is what requires more money than acquiring domain. What do you think about whogohost?

I am about purchasing a domain name and hosting on their platform....

Our digital marketing training course walks you through various options of starting an online business based on your budget. When you register a domain name, you can set it up with reliable free hosting. This is enable to start a blog, earn money online and then switch to paid web hosting which is by far better than free website hosting.

I cannot vouch for and recommend any web host except the companies I have used and trust. However, I personally don't use Nigeria web hosts for 2 or more reasons. One, most of my online marketing campaigns are targeted to US, UK, Canada, etc. It is only sensible I register my domain names and buy web hosting from US to take advantage of these markets. A cursory look at your traffic statistics from your hosting dashboard will explain this better.

Niom:
How much is the course? Or is it free?

N5,000 as of writing this post.

KNOWMORE56:
Please guide me on how to establish a website/blog

Send me a PM/Direct message and I will send you the details.

ElonMosque:
Lol is it someone here that regged NigeriaScam.com ?

It is a good business idea. The registrant can develop it to an authority content website monetized with, say, Google Adsense. Let him begin to expose Yahoo Yahoo Plus secrets and power to the world. But the blogger must be stronger spiritually, otherwise, he will sleep and not wake up to enjoy his money one day

Julius209:
i buy into your idea sir.can you put me through on how to establish website

You simply start a blog and use it as your business shop or office. You can create a shelf i.e. web page where you list domains for sale you own. You can do it yourself. Your only expenses is getting web hosting. Or send me a pm/direct message for our digital marketing course details

edimalo:
Meaning I can't list them for sale?.

I've seen sales here done before 60 days of registration with dynadot.

I've already listed my domains for sale on Dan, afternic and epik

You can sell your domain, ask your buyer to create an account with Dynadot and then push the domain name to him/her within the 60 days transfer restriction by the registrar.

IghravweIG:
So we would have to wait for 60 days before we can sell domains on there. Hmmm

Your business should be a going concern, to use an accounting term. This is why you should have a steady and established website/blog that regularly brings in monthly passive income of at least $300 to tide over or defray recurring expenses in your business and home.

Channel5:
Epik Why!

Una dey lecture Gboyz and Ggirls about our industry, i give it 5 years now....you will see another different thing.

My only consolation is that, the business requires patience, is not a get quick money scheme...

In life, you can never know all. This is why you are not selling domain names everyday. Every time I buy a domaining course, there is something new I will discover. But if there is nothing new, it may spark off new business ideas or channel to chart. As an individual, you can never know enough. That is why I am hanging out here.

For example, you can use this domain thread to get domain names ideas of what is selling and where to focus on. Every training is lesson learnt.

edimalo:
Got this from dynadot what does it mean.

' You will not be able to list domains registered with us until they qualify for transfer. Domains registered or transferred in the last 60 days will not qualify'

It means 60 days must lapse before a domain name you registered with them or transferred to them can be listed.

Niom:
Hi, do you have a course on how to create a wordpress site including hosting and buying domain name?

The ones i saw are quite expensive.

Yes, our digital marketing course includes free WordPress blog installation tutorial. My recommended cheap and reliable web hosting guide gives you step by step walk through on how to get cheap website hosting from HostGator for $141.49 for 3 years which comes down to $3.93 per month hosting. And we will teach you how to make that money back with your first blog website in a matter of months.

However, according to your budget, there is also 12 months and 24 months hosting if you cannot afford 3 years upfront. But I always recommend 3 years because it allows you to focus on making money online and not whether your website is down or live.

ollybode:
Always love your approach, indeed u are an orator. Show me the man of wisdom, I will look at ur direction

God bless you!!! How is the business going? Internet technology has made business a level playing field. A novice today can become sought-after tomorrow. So, we never know when and how we will meet someday!

ikhalyfah:
EXACTLY. The problem all arose from the "refund" part and lack of patience (no offense meant) from the other side.
I bet most of us don't make sale within the specified 32days grace oga iykepromotion stated but then, we don't go back seeking for refund.
In my own case, i joined iyke class 1stOct2019 but after making 3 sales. After his class he recommended 2 names which i registered (till today I'm holding them), after the class, it took me 40days to see a sale, so u see, i had the right to seek for refund after 32days which i didn't.
But then mind u, because i had enough to spare then 4 the registration and because I've made sales and knew domaining works, I kept hope and patience. Ending Nov, boom, those Godaddy sales, tru December, Godaddy was my grace area, in January 2020 alone I've made 12sales, feb 1st opened with a sale.
So the point is @ajog1 I don't know how frustrated you are, i don't know how much u have spent, i don't know your position right now, but I'll advice you exercise patients. Some here made a 1st sale over a year trying, but after that, sales started to come at a more favourable interval.
So I'll advice u keep on hope and have patience, God's willing, u will smile very very sooon!

More sales to us all.

Hmmm! I really didn't want to comment. But you and @2sexycom's contribution touched my soul. I see you guys are unbiased and God fearing. God will continue to bless the works of your hands. Even as an online business guru (in all modesty) before Iyke came on board, I had personal experience with him that leaves much to be desired. And there is 3rd confirmation from someone else. Business is about relationship. Destroy that relationship and you destroy your business.
