U1:
Boss, thanks! It's been a while o. Hope all is well. It's great to see your post again.

Let's chat on WhatsApp man

U1:
Thanks be to God for his goodness!

Let me report my March sales. I wanted to keep them private, but I think people like me that are still trying to find their way in this biz might find the report encouraging. This is when you consider that I am not one of the bosses here.

Here goes:

Orlando/Professional/Movers 100

All/American/Garage/Doors 299

Cape/Coral/Remodeling 388

Conroe/Builders 125

Fargo/Home/Builders 169

Fort/Worth/RV/Repair 350


NOTES

- All sales were outbound

- It was the first month I sold up to six domains!

- It was also the month I had my highest earnings so far (the amount was more than what I made in my first 4+ years of domain investing).

- The fact that a domain has been dropped and unregistered for some time doesn't mean it's not valuable as some here know. The last name above had been dropped and unregistered for years if I remember correctly.

When it seems to not be working, keep at it - learning, improving, and getting more good names. You might not be able to tell 100% which one would sell.

Glory to God! We pray for His grace and blessings for more sales for everyone. All the best, everyone!

You're doing well bro. You're a testimony it pays never to give up

Sold NYMassageTherapy.com for $200. Bought for $6.99 at Namesilo about 9 months ago

Did outbound after I bought it but no serious Interest. Then recently, someone emailed if the name is still available.

Voila! Closed through Undeveloped.

Lesson: Never give up because no one replied immediately after outbound. Sales can take some time. Thanks

Hello boss

How do you see this name.

It's one of my off geo names.

Since I majorly specialise in Geo's.


Goldcoinseller.com

There are lot of prospects for this name. Google can help in that regard. Although It doesn't really look like a Geo domain.

kolad59:

Just sold this yesterday. Bought $1 dollar at netsol last Saturday. Outbound and negotiation. Screenshot below;

Congrats sir! LimoService domains never disappoint!

ewuoso2002:
Guys in registering a domain do u guys consider WBY and ABY and if you do give us d reasons.
Some domains might never sell after all your research so parking it might come in handy, do we need to check WBY and ABY before considering a domain.
I just got a new laptop and i am back for good.
This time around its till death do us part

People who consider (WBY, ABY, ZBY, CEO, LOL, 666) when buying domain are those who still think estibot is the most efficient way to appraise a domain. They are metrics, just metrics, nothing more

I think you've spent a lot of time hand regging domains. I invite you to check out platforms where domains are recognized by the number of bids, increasing prices and auction close date.

U1:
Pretty much my story, although I have been around for longer and registered more names. I had to run away for about a year thinking it was all a scam.

I returned - just as someone said on the NP thread that many people do - when I saw even guys that appeared to be newer reporting sales here on Nairaland. Made my first sales, but none has been more than 199 bucks.

This is why I sometimes called those reporting sales here the lucky ones. It takes more than knowing what names to register and how to compose mails to succeed, I must say.

The money I paid someone here on Nairaland on my return to domaining didn't make any difference. The filters I had come up with from research for expired domain names were even better than what I was provided with. I felt I wasted money, but it was a token.

Such is life, and my luck.

I laughed out loud when I read this:

I had to run away for about a year thinking it was all a scam.

Domaining isn't scam. It might take you a lot of time to profit/success but it isn't scam. It requires hard work, dedication, patience and luck.

I relate to your story because I've been in your shoes before. I started domaining about 5 years ago but took me 3 years to make a profit.
Even if you get a lot of sales, you can still get turned off when sales disappear . So please, i urge you not to quit but to rethink strategy. I invite you to PM me if you will.

Paying someone is like looking for a handout, you'd hardly get far. There's free flowing information just on Namepros alone. I still learn alot on the site

U1:
I understand the 'pseudonym' part. But I wonder if that is a problem. I only use my first name, which luckily is English.

End-user contact doesn't seem to have made much difference. I have never received a positive reply. It might have contributed to one or two of the low $ sales I have managed in all these years, though.

You mentioned Facebook pages. How do you use those, please?

Many website have/operate facebook pages. A way of getting the owner's email is through the about section of the facebook page. FB has helped in certain areas

Craigbrown4076:
Wow! Great stuff you have written down here! Thank you wholeheartedly!

You're welcome bro. Always great to share.

Don't neglect Facebook pages also. You can get a great deals of emails through there.

U1:
I must say you are a real pro! You sure have some tricks in your bag. Thanks!

On the side, I'd like to know if you do use your real name (as you have it in WHOIS) when sending mails to potential end users.

Not a Pro. Not even close! Still learning everyday

I use a pseudonym. Western name (something they can relate to). And if you might know, I mostly use privacy on my domains (not that it matters now that whois is almost gone )

Craigbrown4076:
Good morning people, I have two domains: Kansasroofingcontractors and neworleanstrucking both in . Com. All I want to find out is how you are able to get end user emails because when i do my search on whois, the regitrant details is usually hidden or not available. How do I progress from here?

Cc: expertix, haykay2005, jamih, 2sexynet, iykepromotions.

Happy Sunday!

When i do outbound, the first process is to search the domain using whois. Sometimes It is hidden, sometime it is visible. I recommend you use ICANN whois search. You can see some hidden contact through that.

The second process is to search the domain website itself. Sometimes emails may be in the about page, contact page, team page or even individual profiles. Also there is nothing wrong in using the website contact page itself (You don't have to worry much about spam).

Another method is to use Hunter.io to search for emails relating to a domain. Hunter.io has proved itself useful for me in recent times.

One more tool i recommend is mailtester.com. It allows you to check the validity of a particular email. Example: if you couldn't get a contact using the above methods, you can just google (or LinkedIn) the company for its CEO or founder. When you've gotten the name of the person, you can try [i]guessing [/i]the person's email.

If the CEO's name is steve and the domain is example.com, open mailtester.com and try a wide range of formats.
E.g steve@example.com,
stevepatrick@example.com,
steve.patrick@example.com,
stevep@example.com,
s.patrick@example.com etc....

or you could even do a google search using the following parameters - "*@endusersdomain.com" the (*) stands for all emails

Hope that works for you!!!

Happy Sunday to you too

For Geo names I sell, I use a free software to generate list of unregistered domains.

Its called "Domain name Analyzer". Google it and learn how to use it.
Hint: its very helpful

When you get the software, in the keyword column, you add the cities, States also the keyword and choose your extension

I mostly stay with .com and .net

Search for YouTube videos to learn how to use the software

Is Buying And Selling Domains Really A Profitable Business?

Yes. But only if you do it right!


Buying Domains

I majorly use Godaddy and Namecheap.
Godaddy for quick flips and Namecheap for long term investments.

What domains to buy?

I only buy names that describe a product or service. Nothing more!

Keywords i target are:
-web design
-real estate
-dentist
-landscape
-marijuana/cbd/hemp
-properties etc
You can find more on the NamePros sales thread.

I must admit 80% of my quick flip names are Geo+keyword domains


Sales Frequency

On average, I sell at least one domain out of every six which is very profitable for me as it is certain if I spend $30 (6 x $5) I'm guaranteed to get $100 - $500 on at least 1 domain


Sending mails

No need for professional email. I use my Android Gmail. It gets the job done.

If you're disguising, do it well.


Advice

-Target good domains and price them between low and mid $$$ and watch your sales increase. At least 1 out 6 names

-I prefer to stay under the radar, so I'm not frequent on NL

-I will be updating this post with time.





So whos ready to make money flipping domains
