Had to be sure. You never know with these less popular registrars. Thanks

yeh. I use to renew some of my expired domains that way. Even those beyond 30days. Like one time Sav wanted to pay high $xx for redemption after the domain went through auctions and nobody bought it. If I were to renew I go pay big money cause na almost like 60days..thank God it's already unlocked-authcode, I just transferred to Dyna using Sav autotransfer feature. I did same with Dynadot also to Sav..if U have the Auth everything is smooth.

Geofavor:
So I can transfer a name about to expire just for 5 dollars and the name gets renewed for a year, no hidden or extra charges?

yes oo. That's like domaining 101. That's why some guy's with very large portfolios be hunting for domain transfer promos.

It's obvious the guy is just catching cruise nah . I bet it's one of the guru's disguising under unknown moniker to catch cruise.

I swear. The thread don turn cruise own. Make una help me review my naijerhookup.dotcom should I reg or not.

Geofavor:
Does this still work? How much is their normal .com price?

This is trash. You still need trainings to go into brandables.

Example of brandables are
TransBloom .com (Two words)
Sanvico .com (Made up)
SilverHole .com (Two words)
Revanix .com (Made up)

And all these takes 4-5 years hold to convert if u don't have upto a 1000+ wahala. This they won't tell you.

Onkoolos:
Good morning guys, I just read this thread from page 1-50. I can now start brainstorming domains like gpexchange because I'm only interested in brandables I don't have time to be Outbounding.

This are what I brainstorms guys. Hope I'm on the right part...


Travelforfree.com


Iykepromotion, gpexchange, learner47, awesomeduru, pls I need your feedback.. it think I can now start catching fish too with what I have brainstorm.. pls help me out🙏🙏🙏

'Travel for free' make sense. It's more of marathon than sprinting. Just dey read dey go. All the best.

JAPAHTML:
If they try such only people with big money wil survive

But for newbs... it wont be easy at all, they can still do it By reading a lot of books Focusing on Keywords

I've sold many of my hand reg. domains cos i spent more time learning about Keywords+ keyword Combination

Summary: without ED there's gon' be less success
@Learner47
@Domainer1999

You see brandable domains. Those type of Atom & BrandBucket names if Ur strategy is based on that. No need of Ed. But the time of sale is usually longer..at most 5yrs.

But if u r doing other strategies with faster time of sales you can't do without ED.

Many new domainers including myself go for option one. Cause, introduction begins with option one. If you're lucky u may succeed with early sales to support and build on the strategy else u will have to deal with renewals cause they take longer to sell and call it quits.

Option 2 is something I'm looking at but I'll still come back to option one.

I call it QUALITATIVE & QUANTITATIVE domaining.

One does not require ED the other is highly dependent on Ed.

MrNovo:
If ED and Marco are such a critical factor in domaining, then any domainer who doesn't already have an alternative will be shocked sooner than later.
What happens to ED when Marco dies...Any succession plan in place yet?
A sale to an institution that has out lived its founder should be on the table.
However we must start getting used to the idea of buying subscriptions for services we use to make money. How many domainers here use DOTdb paid plan? But we all want to be like Tony and Abu Basit

Many domainers depends on Ed. Even the most elite.

Trust me if they had the monies they would sub. Even Abu started small. Tony started big, someone that can throw 10K as a newbie, sub of 100 wouldnt be a problem.

For example, last yr I sub GoDaddy academy course. I've bought ebooks from Alexverdea etc. I know how it feels starting from scratch. This year I don't know if I'm able to renew d GoDaddy something but let's see. Many would sub just the financial situation no one intentionally wants to just use freebies. Thank God for the opensource & freebies communities cause if knowledge or tools were all to be made subscription based, I believe there wouldn't be innovation. Look at the issue between openAi and the core founders.

Domainer1999:
He isn’t anonymous, just decided not to sell his site/business/property for now.

I sense he’s an old man not moved by money.

I hope/pray he doesn’t encounter a situation that will make him do otherwise.

my prayers to him.

Domainer1999:
All you’ve said is nothing but correct.

I also do contemplate that the big whales would have approach him for a buy-out, but as that hasn’t happened and I hope it never does, I hope he’s someone that believes in the free usage of Internet services for the sake of humanity.

Marco alone decides our faith in this business!

Wait oo! Is the guy anonymous? Cause, if the big boys decide reason him matter. U either sell or face consequences. Billionaire's game ehh!

Domainer1999:
@Learner47, JapaHTML, Oshiofe, James39, SEYIKP et al, if the owner of ED, Marco, decides to not let it free again, then we're all cooked and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

I see him as the Talisman for which most of us are still in business.

Because, only few people can afford to pay say $100 for monthly subscription.

Na instant retirement oo! That's why there has to be a backup plan. Look what DAN did. I believe thousands were retired.

Now I know their eyes are on Ed. And I know they might have been giving the Ed owner offers. But I believe that Ed owner isn't all about money. Some people money don't move them. If not he for done sell. Remember what happened to Namebio, look how the wholesale market has become.

But sometimes it boomerangs on them & even the most elite of domainers come shouting out loud. As a typical Nigerian slang 'he go touch everybody'

In the end the 'House Always Win' (Registrars & Registries).

But what if he the Ed owner changes his mind(Robin Hood), what if the Capitalist--the far left (conspiracy theory) come for him, What if, what if...I guess nothing last forever!

Abi domaining done turn big Pharma! What really happened to DAN owner? Was he threatened!

Ok back to reaching out to clients..I greet u all.

This White folks no go k*ll person, after Dan guess Ed is next.

gentlekeny:
Good morning domainers,
Please who has faced this issue and what's the way out of it?

congratulations. You sold a domain via their lander I suppose. Mind sharing more details. As for the tax form, depending on the country you used. Maybe contact support or check under payment settings/billing etc to see if you can see the form.

MrNovo:
1st March

Thanks. Make I go download am.

MrNovo:
And the name is back in the market on offer for around half of N242k and might eventually sell for a lot less. Yes as a domainer you might pull off a lucky sale (flukes) it shouldn't alter the real metrics of evaluation. Will the same happen to mortgage/com, almost 99% impossible.
However, English typos that are the correct German or french spelling are worth it.

One can't underestimate being at the right place at the right time & having a large portfolio in this biz.

MrNovo:
Ishmaila portfolio is around 3500 if I remember.
Without outbound the STR for such portfolio size is about 4 domains monthly. Then for someone like Ishmaily that is very serious with outbounding that could become 5 to 10 domains monthly. Now he is trying to raise his STR to 30 domains monthly or one daily, which he might already know is easily possible looking at the number of offers he rejects monthly in the past. According to him, for the 30 days challenge he would be accepting offers above $1000 which he normally rejects, so you can understand the game. He is in Tony's league; a big adult

U sabi game! , I never listen to this one. The guy sabi talk. You fit screen shot the podcast date, make I find am.

Taiwoampi4life:
Oh! You searched for it.

That's good. Well done Learner.

Thanks Senior Man, ser.

Learner47:
Sorry for this. That's one heck of a life changing money. U be strong man & heart attack no catch you. 2006, wow!, veteran in the game. Then I dey Jss3 or Ss1 dey find value of X. I greet sir.

For those in doubt! Whooping 200K+ cc :namebio

Taiwoampi4life:
Learner, never overlook "typos" in this domain flipping industry. That was how I found www.Mortage.com (normal spelling "mortgage" in ED some years...as I was making enquiry whether to buy it or not, another domainer bought it and sold it for $242,000. I think that was in 2006 or 2005...I can't really remember the exact year again.

Sorry for this. That's one heck of a life changing money. U be strong man & heart attack no catch you. 2006, wow!, veteran in the game. Then I dey Jss3 or Ss1 dey find value of X. I greet sir.

Agent8706:
Sometimes you wonder in this game. See a name that sold yesterday for $3,605 at GD according to namebio

If fit be SEO name.

200+USd on auction for this misspelled of entrepreneur. As in domainers get money. Will that name sell.

chicfarmer:
wow. I get it now.

Underdawgg:
Man dey really serious with his 30days outbound challenge.

I know getting to a stage of someone like Ish, Mike mannn blah blah MIGHT seem impossible, but I believe if one keep putting in the work, one will surely get their.

Like these guys don't have two heads na. 😅

I listen to him podcast. Na the same outbound we dey do ooh like this. Just most of him names na CPC based from closeouts and auction. Plus e no dey fear to show him face to prospects. One thing the guy isn't telling people is the number of outbound domains he holds with respect to sales. For me, that's the most important thing. Cause many of him names dey target one user or few users. So you have to have plenty(huge portfolio) & put high price.

As opposed to us that have one domains with 100s of prospects with a small portfolio( say 100) and we put low price (very time consuming). With 10 domains you done reach out to 10000 users in 2-3 weeks on manual outbound as opposed to him with 100 domains he don reach out to like 200 users in 2-3 days... Do the maths!

trafficpools:
may too much sense not kill you!!!!

how to survive this economy mehn.

chicfarmer:
what about the renewal fees if it does not sell within such a short time remaining （20-30 days） as he said？

You have to renew. So you either get it free from the owner or pay a small token and renew afterwards.

The key thing here is not to let it drop. So once you list Afternic Fast Transfer can be activated.

And another trick if you want to dodge 10USD renewals or some registrars like GoDaddy with Draconian prices. You can go on a hunt to look for registrars with transfer promos..like around 8USD or less. For example one new registrar called unstoppable domains( don't know if they support Afternic Fast Transfer)

Let's say d seller instead of allowing the domain to expire and delete, liquidates one for 2USD. Already the Auth code dey ready as e never drop

So you look for registrars offering transfer promos like unstoppable domains for 5usd abi na 8usd. You transfer to them. That's like 10USD spent or less.

Once you list the domain on Afternic, the Afternic Fast Transfer is activated.

The STR of this method, pass the standard STR of brandable domain names ( 1percent) that end users haven't been contacted before.

Do you guy's see what Ish dey do with Outbound. The new outbound Sheriff aka outbound King!

edoman2016:
And if you buy names that a domainer want to drop because they are not good enough, what makes you think you are special and can sell the names within a year too?


Focus on quality

They do sell. That's another strategy again that works. And the STR is around 50% for the types of names I have been reporting. Geo names that make sense. Just list it on Afternic. Enable Fast Transfer. Set the price to 100 or 150 And watch the magic. Already the former domainers has done all the work by contacting the end users. Some wicked end users or stubborn end users refuse to buy, waiting to drop. Shock them! Your own na to chop food wey done done. More importantly you don't need to outbound.

If you use this method for 20 domains you can sell 7 or more within a year depending on quality.

All about testing! And testing!

Abeg make una dey report una experiments.

Gpexchange:
Na was like 4 or 5 ext na this buyer just reg the extras...Now 22 ext....



I no get price below 3500 I too lazy to be pricing different... All my domains use bin+LTO+mo .. ....

Omor the 22 ext guy dey vex oo. E wan do next Facebook.

Ok great make turn everything to the trio. We go again this week.

@gpexchange, I being change some of my domains on Afternx to BIN only.

I got a lead for one out of the 48 having BIN only lander in the 10K range.

Do all your domains use BIN+LTO+MO including the ones in $19xx, $28xx, $38xx abi na different settings.

bea1234567:
Ok. I'll choose daaz. Thanks

oya na nothing do you.

bea1234567:
I use BIN.. so which one is okay?

Anyone of them will do. But Atom & Daaz have 'Trust Rating' on their landers that increase trust. While DomainEasy is in the process, since na new guy's.

For this domain I no dey tell person to do this, that. That's like denying one of experimentations & emergence of new perspectives and methods. So left for you to choose which works best in the end.

Sapiosexuality:
You know a good name, and I know a good name but I don't have the money to buy it while you do how am I then a threat to you when you report such sales? Who here didn't know that Spend dot com is a good name? But most of us watched at the auctions instead of
If you know what sells but can't even use $59 or $79 for backorder while I'm backordering them, how does such knowledge help you? And I can backorder for those amount but can't even bid in any auction how am I a threat to Mike Mann who reports his 5 and 4 figure sales? If I also know what sells but can't afford more than 100k for domains in a month how am I a threat to anybody with my knowledge? Lol.

Agree 💯. Sometimes na just for security. The way the country just dey. And the way domaining is, even tho a whale is using bots to grab all the good names some do slip out. And even the downside of Geos na if particular end users are bombarded with the same type of name in varying versions of the same name. Other than that, the market is open for anyone to do well.
