Please, how can I do Google keyword search like this one you posted?

Sign up for Google Ads program here:
https://ads.google.com/intl/en_ng/home/tools/keyword-planner/

and you'll have access to their free Google Keyword Planner tool.
You don't have to run an Ads(formerly Adwords) campaign. Just create
and pause the campaign.

But you may have to validate your MasterCard or any other acceptable
card by a dollar or so in your billing info when you're signing up.

I hope this helps.

Honestly, I was skeptical about the length of the characters too before I purchased the domain name. It was like I reg the domain name on impulse without doing critical analysis.



I was perplexed to discover about this when i saw that most of the end users were using short and cacthy domain names too (Yes, I have done outbounding after I made that post yesterday.)

Well no risk no reward. Good experience comes from bad ones. This experience has anchored with dint to come up with short and catchy domain names now. After spending some hours on ED, I was able to come up with something like "City"LimoService//king (16 characters).

Anyways, thanks for taking your time to made those profound insights, I really appreciate it. More sales to you bro.

You're welcome.

richkal:
@IdeasPro, what can you say of the domain name below, by just looking at it, do you think it's sellable

NewyorkLuxuryLimousine//king

Thanks in advance.

It's not a bad domain name but not too good. It's long (22 characters) and bad
for SEM (search engine marketing). Again, I did a quick search on Google Keyword
Planner and it has no search volume as depicted in the image below.

But a handful of websites are using the exact match search term as your domain. So,
you can find treasure trove from these webmasters of your domain.

Usually, I like working with exact match domain names i.e. keyword domain names, short
and catchy domain names with relatively high CPC (cost per click).

Above all, marketing i.e. outbound marketing can go a long way to get you the right buyer.

AutoReportNG:
For your domain to even rank on google despite your SEO takes at least 3-4 months, don't tell me otherwise cos its what I do daily, I spend at least 10hrs on my blog alone developing, writing and researching for quality news.

No, I don't agree with you on this. We're all learning and I'll teach you
hard tactics of ranking a website or blog in days.

Number 1:
Invest in your business. For example, pay $20 to $100 to a top-notch
press release site and publish a press release for your blog. You'll have
the opportunity to include anchor text links (2 to 3) in your release. Google
news and news sites will carry it.

Search engines need trusted info from reliable sources and they will rank you.
At least as a new blog you can go for long tail keywords and not overly
competitive keywords.

Number 2:
Go and associate with the influencers and bourgeois in digital marketing and
cajole them to mention you and your blog. Their endorsement is all you need
to rank in Google. "Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand
before kings; he shall not stand before mean men." (Provers 22: 29).

I agree it takes time to rub shoulders with these guys:

-Pat Flynn of SmartPassiveIncome.com
-Neil Patel of NeilPatel.com
-Etc

But when they trust and believe in your vision, gbam, you're in!

Let me not derail this thread, we're domaining! Have a wonderful Sunday.
Go to church today even if you're not a christian. I perceive in my spirit
God wants to do something for you. Your case will be mentioned and you'll
come back here to testify that a prophet has spoken!!!!!

incogni2o:
Thanks, Appreciate

What of domainersdomain dot com?

Can I have your number pls?

Unfortunately, it's not a fast flip domain name.

Always look out for domain in the following ranges:

-product domains
-service domains
-keyword domains
-geo +service (US geo preferred)

Avoid trademarked domains except your dad is a lawyer.

incogni2o:
Nice words Bro.

Don't mind the lazy youths

Please help me sample

shopforbabything dot kum
babyandstores dot kom
babyandstore dot kum

cancertreatmentdiaries dot kum

DON'T BUY THESE DOMAINS.

ShopForBabyThingS-com or cancertreatmentdiarY-com
would have been better. But because you're just flipping domains
and not building Amazon sites, I'll say DON'T BUY.

AutoReportNG:
See the way you typed it as if its that easy... What you typed here may take 5-7years before he starts to cash it. If na so e easy, bloggers go don hammar and buy companies. What happens to days of humble beginning?

It's obvious you're not studying and following successful online businesses. This
is the problem that the majority of Nigerians have. Successful domainers on this
thread INVEST quality hours studying what works and what is not working.

Until then, wait for another 5-7 years to make a dime online.

Kirchhoff01:
It is easier said than done

No apologies, you must be a lazy dude if you've made this
sweeping statement above. Do you know how much sleepless
hours and nights politicians INVEST in meetings of "connect
and collect?"

If you don't want to be a robber, kidnapper or own a local
business where Local, State and Federal Government touts come
to harass you with government-issued ID cards. you'll learn to
sit up from the comfort of your home and earn money online.

I'm always angered when young Nigerians (I don't know how old you
are anyway!) believe nothing is true. If you can think it, you can do it!

Let me ask you, what does it take to complete the tasks above? In life
it's easier done than said if you have patience, determination, focus and
a go-getter spirit.

When the OP of this thread started it, a number of NAYSAYERS like YOU
discounted his domain flipping ventures until some of you tried and tested
that the LORD IS GOOD.

I'm venting my anger because you're in the 80 percent bracket of people
who want to make money online WITHOUT money, work or effort. To paraphrase
Robert G. Allen, he said, "a confused mind will always say no."

Ask me specific questions on how to earn money online and I'll teach you. If it goes
beyond the basics, I charge you as a business professional that I'm.

You're blessed. I'm just challenging you to be POSSIBILITY THINKER AND DOER. Okay?

FOWOSHERE01:
@IdeasPro
I've studied you bro. You're highly intelligent my guy. That is why i want to drag your attention to another matter (personal).

I recently bought a domain name: iwantvisa.com because i think it targets the niche market that want to travel out for one reason or another. To travel out, you'll need a visa.

The issue is i'm a complete newbie in making an online system that generates income passively.

It's a nice market.

Can we do something together concerning iwantvisa.com ?

Thanks for the compliment. I appreciate a million. Even if we're
not working together, I can offer suggestions for you here and it
may benefit others as well.

For you to make passive income online with a domain name, you can
do several things with it. First, start a blog on it. You can create
a blog yourself with self-hosted WordPress blog. Create quality content
regularly that targets long tail keyword phrases and publish them on
your blog.

Thereafter, you can monetize it with Google Adsense. If you're religious
(no, FANATIC) about this, you can make between $50 and $100 per day. From
here you'll be able to raise sufficient fund to start a travel agency
company if that is your desire.

Remember, starting a brick-and-mortar company in Nigeria requires a lot
of funds, professional certifications and greasing of government officers'
hands.

Secondly, you can build an authority website with lots of targeted traffic.
Sooner or later, other webmasters will notice you when your web pages
consistently show up for "money keywords" on the first page of popular
search engines such as Google.com, Bing.com, Yahoo.com, etc.

Before you know it, they will start approaching you to sell advertising
spaces on your blog or CPM impressions.

All in all, let me know what exactly you want and I may be able to help.
For me, time is of the essence and that is why I was reluctant to join
any forum thread in Nigeria. But because domaining is my "first love"
online since 2007, I decided to be truly Nigerian here.

Thank you

Oga iyke.....can't we change this thread topic...


Too many spammers.

Even if you change the thread's topic, spammers will
still find it out. They are trollers and paparazzi who
dissipate their time on frivolous things.

I wonder if they ever get "stray customers" from this
hit-and-miss" marketing!

RESHARPENED:
Before you attempt to buy any domain name, make sure you have a perfect picture of a business, person or body that would benefit from owning the domain name.

Don't just register WHAT YOU LIKE or what you THINK somebody WOULD LIKE , register WHAT THEY NEED.

And it goes without saying to avoid obscure extensions like .ph, .tk and extensions on the verge of extinction like .mobi, .INFO, etc.

Take a moment. Close your eyes and IMAGINE a business built on SLICECS.com. Can you see the picture of a thriving business... A business that would be successful enough to want to establish a distinguishing presence on the internet

Alternatively,
IMAGINE a business built on the domain name CHAINBULLETIN/com. I am sure you can easily picture an online information outlet concerned with cryptocurrencies. That is a name that a business found worthy enough to pay $2000 for.

So, my $0.99 tips for you is to buy what endusers would need and the best way to do that is through extensive MARKET RESEARCH and INTENSIVE READING.

Begin from this thread, proceed to Namepros, never forget Namebio, glance through Squadhelp Marketplace listings.

All the best!

You're not only Resharpened but Reformed and Repackaged.
You're thinking as a domain investor, not squatter.
This is the only way you don't beat your head on the wall worrying
while nobody is buying your domain.

I'm thinking of developing a domaining course for the Nigerian market which
spells out everything you need to know about investing in domain
names and websites. There is an art and science to buying and selling domain
names and websites.

A lot of us in Nigeria are approaching this game with the mind of hitting
Mother luck. But a lot forget that LUCK is where Preparation (in domaining
it is Research) meets opportunity.

When you see beauty, you will know. When a potential buyer sees a good
domain, he cannot pass it by especially if you show him what he can do with
it.

johnoj24:
please I need answer o, if estibot appraise a name for $1800 and godaddy appraise it for 900+, like how much will I put it forsale in the market?

Do a little Arithmetic: 900 + 1,800 = $2,700

Divide $2,700 by 2 = $1,350

Put it at $1,350 and see what happens.

If there is no bite within one week of outbounding
and inbounding expectations, soft pedal and bring it
down a little bit.

But OVERALL RULE IN DOMANING is:
The value/price of a domain is in the eyes of a buyer
who is WILLING and ABLE to pay your asking price.

golddeejay:
I thought you are searching for end users who have some particular keywords in their URL(or title), and not making research on the keywords. Anyway, anyone that works for you is better.

Any end-user remotely using your target keyword
must be a potential buyer. You can then extensively
analyze and engage them to see what comes out of
it.

johnoj24:
I thought as much because one enter godaddy premium, another one dropcatch

This is not to insult you. It's because you're just starting domain
investing. Software has been existing since time immemorial. I
remember in the hey days when I use PR PowerShot to mine
PR 3 to 5 domain names to flip. I even promoted the Clickbank
product and made some good sales as well.

I can tell you, lots of tech savvy guys develop custom software
for personal use which they never release to the public. Some do
backorder services after analyzing good domain names to catch.

This is why they can confidently pay premium money to get a domain
name when you're into bidding war.

golddeejay:
And you even do it better by using inurl: your keywords. The search gives you only results of websites that that has your keywords in the domain names and titles.

Good NOT Better. But don't let this end in a debate and argument.
Quotation marks is BETTER because it shows keyword phrase in:

intitle
meta name description content
inurl

So, it is all-inclusive.

viktor88:
I will go to access bank tomorrow to get a visa card, the only problems is that I stay In an rural area and the bank practice a bit of monopoly I can bet that I can't get the card same day.

In my opinion, MasterCard is better.

viktor88:
Thanks

Ask questions in the forum and people
will answer you. But be prepared to go
extra mile in learning in order to be ahead
of every online business opportunity that
you're considering starting.

There's no substitute for knowledge.

viktor88:
I used the quotation mark but I didn't see the number of result like yours displayed.

I'm not a magician and I didn't read hypnosis.
Type the "keyword phrase" in quotation marks
(i.e. open and close) and hit the search button.

viktor88:
No, verve that's why I need help

You don't need help. Go to your bank and request
for your MasterCard. You get it while you wait. You
cannot do online business with "help me."

richkal:
I pulled the keyword combo (Brooklyn Tax Attorney) I used as an example offhand, out of curiosity too I performed a little search on it now and I discovered that the plural form is available. I doubt if the plural form is sellable

BrooklynTaxAttorneys//king



You are on point bro, what add-on brings the keyword difficulty for the search term that is in the image you upload?? Is it keyword keg, keyword everywhere or what

The singular is by far better. There can be ONLY one attorney in Brooklyn
that will own BrooklynTaxAttorney/King, others are imitators! LOL

It is a Firefox SEOQuake add-on.

richkal:
I should have asked you how do you s.ex you babe just like someone have said on previous pages.

But to answer you question in short, assuming the domain name you intended to sell is thus:

BrooklynTaxAttorney(dot)com

Open Google on another tab of your browser, type in Brooklyn Tax Attorney and hit the search, open up the websites that come up for the search term one by one (one of them is LeburtaxLaw dot com) , locate the "Contact Us" on each of the websites you will see their emails there, something like info@leburtaxlaw.com for example. Hope this help a bit.

You can even do it better. Use quotation marks to get super targeted results
as in the screenshot below. You'll discover end-users with a bias for SEO.

I got only 454 results from my Google search out of curiosity anyway. And only
one name seems to protrude out like a sore thumb in the organic search
results!

Simpsonrocket:
What about attaching your other domains to the sales letter, is it advisable?

Think "relevance" every time you are doing business with
the third party. No fluff! Attach only the domain names
which are relevant to the one in your priority list.

This way, your potential buyer will see the need to get
them from you as well. Don't make anyone feels you're
out to milk them up from their hard-earned money.

Clever and stealth marketing is all you need to succeed.
Good luck!

eddy42:
Domaining Can be very stressful Ooo, I have been outbounding back to back yet not a single reply, I started sdomaining since December. I Just weak.

There is something you're certainly not doing right or you're not doing
at all. Domaining is not stressful. I perceive in my spirit that the majority
of Nigerian domainers are not approaching domain investing as a business.

They see it as quick cash source to become millionaires overnight. It's
not so! First, empower yourself with the knowledge of how to buy and
sell domain names PROFITABLY.

Secondly, be strategic about buying domain names. Get into the minds
of your potential end-users and determine in advance what they are
likely going to bite and you then offer it to them. This is where research
is golden.

Thirdly, I see a lot of us don't ply this route. Build a profitable business,
show it to your potential end-users and you'll be surprised how many of
them will be begging you with their cash. This is a course for another
day!

Potential end-users that you outbound to, if they are savvy enough, they
will understand you want to make fast cash from them. And not everyone
is ever happy when you try to fleece on them.

If you register a domain name at $10 and try to sell it at $20, a lot of people
will still not buy it from you because you've not proved to them that you
have added value. SELL VALUE NOT DOMAINS! I rest my case.

KubwaBoy:
Hello gurus. My domain portfolio is increasing daily. Just thought of building a website that i can put/list all my domains. This will make the domains more visible to potential buyers. Is this a wise ideal? Who has done this or thought of this before? Is there a reference website that I can use as a prototype for this?

Now you're thinking like a business man. It's not just a good idea
but the BEST IDEA as a domain investor and not domain flipper.

The only challenge is your monthly hosting if you can afford it. If
you cannot afford independent hosting fees, you can tow the cheaper
route by getting a domain name (you'll never sell this domain because
it's your permanent office address on the internet space) and get
free hosting site like blogger.com to host your domain. The cost you'll
only incur for now will be $8.99 or so per year to renew your domain
with, say NameSilo.

As soon as you're convinced that your online business is profitable, you can
move all your files from blogger.com to self-hosted web hosts like HostGator.com
because independent hosting offers you more flexibility to monetize your site
or blog in various ways and earn money online.

All you have to do is to create a web page called "domains for sale" and
begin to list them there, one line per domain. As you sell a domain, delist
it from the page. If someone searches for similar name, you'll come up
in the search engines.

These types of end users/domain buyers are spot-on, willing and ready to buy.

I hope this helps.

brandon180:
This domaining of a thing is it that u must create websites and sell them?

YES AND NO!

When you create a website for a domain and sell it,
it becomes website flipping. But if you hand register
or buy domain and resell, it is domain flipping.

However, it goes higher and higher when you start
buying great domains, holding it for future value and
sale. This is called domain investing.

Why are some people after quick money?

Domaining is good and lots of us are really making cool cash from it. Please which other online platform can one make cool cash from on daily basis?

There are so many online business opportunities to make money
daily, but the surest way is to start a blog in a niche market,
continue to publish constant content on it, monetize it and
BUILD EMAIL LIST OF SUBSCRIBERS.

From your email list, you will make money online on a daily
basis if you have loyal followers.

As a professional, I learnt a very important lesson in marketing i.e.
how to face objections and rejections. Don't EVER let rejections deprive
you of your NEXT SUCCESS. Have you ever wondered how an ugly man marries
a beautiful woman? He must have been rubbished in the mud times without
number but persisted until he becomes the WINNER.

Yeah I have seen another huge barrier
I was do some outbond, but I was mainly using there chat online to chat with target customer. the domain I was doing outbound for is scottsdaleautodealers/king I barely get to see there email so I decided to chat them up, then I was getting response from customers service "the will forward my message to the sales department and all that" the sales department says ok is a nice name but you got place a call direct to the dealership and if the get a go ahead the will purchase it"
Seems the Dealership is like the Oga,
Now see the barrier I CAN'T PLACE A CALL WITH MY F*UCKING NIGERIA NUMBER..... I don't even know who to blame,
Just few that accept the will send in my offer to the dealership and the need a number the can with which reach me and am like am out of the country for business I use email because of the international charge rate
The be like Okies
But men a number is a number, the will probably forget the email.

Has anyone been in such shit share your experience

You know that guy on namepros that sell lots of GEO I think his team calls directly to the target company.
But we all just rely on mail which takes time

I agree with you 100 percent that being a Nigerian, working from home
in Nigeria, is a BIG MINUS. But I can tell you most of you are not doing this
business professionally. It costs money to make money.

You need to register a domain name of your own, get web hosting and
start a blog on the domain. You'll not sell this domain and blog. It's your
business office. Start blogging about domain topics which you have
researched on trendy information. Become a brand in your industry. In 6
months or more, your name would become a household name if you're
consistent about it. Refer your potential clients to it if they're in doubt.

If you treat it as a going concern business, you'll not defraud anybody
because your name is at stake too. You'll be honest in every of your dealings
with people you're doing business with at arm's length transaction.

When you have good footprints online, you won't be skeptical about giving
out your Nigeria mobile number or calling a foreigner with your Nigeria number.
Don't forget there's "phone lookup" service abroad. I don't know if Nigeria has
that service here. Any foreigner in doubt but is business minded can look you up.

In 2012 while in Nigeria, I sold a domain name for $260. (Mind you, I've been
online since 2007). I noticed Sedo.com was asking me for info that will stall the sale.
I promptly told my potential buyer that Sedo.com is not an option right away.
Do you know he suggested Ecop.com for the transaction? This is because I had
footprints he trusted!


But you must be ready to pay it forward. For example, Jide Offor has good
footprints (and desires to maintain it in the foreseeable future) that is why
he could confidently approach Escrow.com to include Nigeria in their approved
countries.

Sedo.com is excluding and banning Nigerians today because of what some of us
did in the past. I learnt (but not confirmed) that Clickbank.com used to accept
Nigerians in the long time past. Everyone needs to be honest in what we do in
order to regain foreigners' confidence in us. It's as simple as that but it's not going
to be an overnight thing.

Imagine with the volume of business transaction Nigerians are doing with
PayPal.com, we're not allowed to become merchants to receive payments here in
Nigeria? Too bad!

I've been selling through PayPal.com on a daily basis and I know there are other
Nigerians that can do better than me. If you make $50 per day from selling digital
information products, will that not change your fortunes?

I've been reading this domaining thread and I see some of us asking their counterparts
to click on one link which is against terms of service of the providers and I say Nigerians at
it again. This information is indexed on the web and open to all and sundry to read. Can
you do business with such a person? Remember when palm oil touches one finger it stains
others as well.

There are hard working young Nigerians like I see in this thread, you can form a formidable force
to crack down on fraudsters whether he is your brother or sister, make them see reasons
why they should desist from nefarious activities and Nigeria will be a better place to be and
do business, sooner than later.

See Ghana here. You can open Clickbank.com account and Nigeria, the Giant of Africa, is
dwarfed. Our government has a lot to do to rebuild our damaged image abroad.
