Guys why is afternic adding renewal fee to the domain price??

Won't this pursue buyers??

Cause afternic has been acquired by GoDaddy with their Draconian system. Usually all checkouts are redirected to their cash out page. They need to pay their shareholders & like most American system as opposed to Chinese enterprises are out for blood to extract the extractables from you as we've been seeing in our clime over the past decade by puppets in power dancing to tenets of their puppeteer masters.

Solution? They may pay or not. Some end users even prefer the GoDaddy Landers. Depending on your end user.

Other Landers you may consider are Atom, Daaz, Dynadot & DomainEasy. All great.

As for domainers if you want to purchase for a discount on GoDaddy platform you can register for their one year GoDaddy club about 200usd which gives access to Domain Academy Course as well. After one year renewals for dotcom tends to 30USD for a domain.

Second and Third Sales Report.. Pretty funny considering how awful November.. December and Jan was... Month never even start.. wahala




Little extras again

And if you were poor like I was .. use your money chop ... But if u must pick make sure the name rare something wey no dey normally drop.... Over manage that fund.. I fit theif for domains...

I don't like huge portfolios either... Can't sell and be like chai I need 10 sales to renew my domains eweee...one sale suppose renew all

And I have said it before but I will say it again your end users can afford your domains easily they just being stingy bitc,,h es ... Thats Why I don't gaf about my pricing cause during my survey times both students or end users will pay people up to 2000$ just to say yes or no to if their product is good.and explain why .... Even broke geo businesses did it too . Plumbers asking wat should we do to change our business....


Peace out ....

Congratulations GP on yet another massive sales & to recent sellers. That survey path with respect to pricing goes out to show how experiences in a particular field could later be helpful someday as no knowledge is a waste.

Abeg how u take dey reg name for Z/com cause I dey see Japan, Singapore..clicking any redirects back to the same page.

CapitalBank:
What he has done is saved anyone willing a lot of time.

I dreaded that niche for too long and didn’t understand shits. Those who cracked the code earlier hid theirs and only show screenshot of prices they sold but GP is giving everything for anyone with brain to do their own work yet some persons are trying to spiritualize it all instead of applying the principles he has laid down. Good luck to them

He gave out open expo. Many will just post sales without underlying info.

There're basically three categories of names the guy has experimented on now with their STR's. Several methods as well one can get on X or Namepros left for anyone to choose their poison with respect to their own finances, budget and time.

Another thing, this naira-dollar as conditioned person mind. You go just dey reason how you wan carry 650USD buy name. And later you see guy's flip it for 17KUSD within a year. You go think if him no sell the first year. Then I no come get money to renew. 650 USD done reach one M oo. Ahaaa

CapitalBank:
EVERY DOMAIN NAME GP Exchange has sold has foundation and link to it and they aren’t just happening because of some perceived LUCK as you almost trying to give up on. I am not supposed say it because he goes overboard to explain them to everyone in his detailed stories… the other part is your job for you do dig deep and finding out WHY his domains are selling.

GP is a good guy. He is saving us 1000s of USD and time by experimenting his process and laying his progress and outcome bare open. So you can choose your poison.

We call it "Building in Public". That's why I said it earlier a win for all.

Just look at that random bucket list of sweet sounding Handregs he registered up to a 1000. At 5. That's like 5K on that bucket. That bucket is normal SH Premium Standard names or normal two word hand regs. That aren't dev. Like some names will be sweet sounding but no actual use case yet those kind of names. Inside that 1000 he sold 1 abi na 2. Now you already know if you have that amount of quality of names highest na 2-3 sales u ft get or no sales within one year and you must renew. You now know the STR. So the guy have saved you the time if you think that route isn't feasible.

Next he went further to talk about misspelled domains and gave more info on domains that are already developed with active uses doesn't matter if it were sweet sounding or not. And the STR. Left for one to do the math.

So with this his building in public would help one not to waste time to experiment some methods that may not yield the type of result one want considering ones finances and other conditions.

I wonder what method he would experiment on again. But we keep learning as he contributes his experiences to the thread.

And the universe doesn't care of someone status, religion, color etc, it finds away to reward givers.

petux:
Just like this guy. I'm sure if he had renewed it, he would not have sold it up to that amount

If ft no sell am. One guy said if you understand the concept of time and space you go learn to move at your own clock. No comparing your clock with others.

No way this universe isn't a complex algo. Equations and complex maths.

If he had held on to the name would he had sold it?

Big question.

That's where complex algorithm of the universe comes in.

#Happy Friday guys.

Abi I should use GoDaddy?


atom. com never again ❌

The problem you're having is not from Atom.

Consistent outbound is very hard, that's the truth.

It gets to a point you have to allow your emails to rest for a month or 3 then begin again.

There're several tips to avoid your emails from being marked.

But no matter all the tricks you apply there would certainly be a time period they will start entering spam again.

Thank God for AI now you can get many of the tricks via simple prompts.

Not limited to:

1. Careful putting unsubscribe links. Cause a 1000 people using the provider might put them. So with time it becomes spam. Instead use word of mouth to tell the end users that if them no like the offer make them tell you.

2. Make it personalized. There first name. Company. Etc..inside the sales letter

3. Use/test varieties of sales letter. Thanks to AI.

4. Avoid spammy words. Check them. Thanks to AI.

5. Careful with your email signature. Cause with time ego start enter spam

6. If U dey put image as well in form of anything, with time e go start enter spam.

7. The names I dey use too for the email sender with time ego start enter time.

8. The only way to know whether your email done start enter spam na to test with new email that you haven't used to send to it before.

More sales to everyone. May the spirit of 4/5/6 figures locate everybody for the thread.

Adiós!

There's level to these things sir.

Grace works where hardwork refuses to yield results.

But this guy's pattern has proven to be effective time and over again.

So what do we call it?

Whatever it is, he has proven that u took can do it as well. By going extra to provide more details. That's a win win for us in the thread. We should focus on that rather.

Make una know fight una sef oo! Let's enjoy the thread. And we should be thankful Gpexchange dey share details. Cause some, once they discover unique angle na to hoard am. I know fit blame them sha.

There's no new technique that hasn't being done before by another domainer. But seeing your fellow country person do it on and on again is refreshing, kinda of reinforcement that this can be done and not alien & like a F*CKu to the capitalist Whites. It's a win win for all of us.

Me I'm a proponent of grace+workingsmart. Not necessarily hardwork.

If u chose to stick with grace...fine. working smart fine. Both, fine also.

More sales to everyone.

SEYIKP:
Do you know how many people that are working smart, but aren't seeing corresponding results? Grace na the visibility of 'Godspower" in your effort, which is the guy's name.

Agree with you. No lies.

SEYIKP:
congratulations, this your grace strong ooo.

Grace with smart work can never be under estimated.

Gpexchange:
Omo never had 3 sales in a month before

Maze/Hq

Sp:4888. ...(sold twice explanation below)..
Ht:: be like na 2 years and 3 months but I no pay renewal oh... I go explain
Cost.. 8.88$ at sav then

Killing it. Congratulations & many more to come.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
It will affect all parked domains even those with genuine traffic?

Yep. But I think parking companies don't only rely on AdSense. But like Dan sunsetting, might be not so good news for parkers.

You can build out the domain & put Adsense especially now there is AI if u can as well.

MrNovo:
Sure same applies.
Eventually they will see a pattern, then ban the account, and if the situation is widespread might involve IP ban. That's why it's dangerous discussing such on a community platform that usually triggers multiple people taking same action within same period.
However for those who can outsource legitimate traffic, declassyweb post is an eye opener

Google will stop rendering ads to parked domains. Not so good news for parkers.

Gpexchange:
It showed up in the auction page as a previous sale all I did was check the nameserver to confirm wen ......


Check google for the company on accelevation...LLC . .. that's all I needed to know they seemed very serious.. and were building something....

Oh! got it. Thank you and many more to come.

Gpexchange:
What's up y'all... Been a while...Jan was very dry.. I come dey wonder if domaining wasn't a scam lol omo..

Sales Report

Accele//vation
Sp:10,000$
Ht:8 months
Cost:390$ Gd auction (and no I don't really do high auctions that much na 1$ I like to only join I still broke make I no over step boundary)

Reason: Obviously sounds like acceleration and elevation mixed together... plus a growing company was using the term..and others... Tho they have a trademark but no be why I pick am na so not my biz...

The buyer has been active since 2015 ... And hugedomain sold this same domain in 2021 for 2000$ to another startup wey no even use am.....so I thought that means this buyer no serious.. guess they never grow by then ....

Congratulations GP. That 'Make Offer' move was legendary. Read something like that from Attorney Beryl.

On the huge domain, how were you able to know it sold via their service and price. Do you have special tools.

Lastly that 390 auction is about 600K+ what was the huge conviction & deciding factor to binge on & press on with the auctions in the face of those White Capitalist.

MrNovo:
You know the scope...
There is nothing new he has achieved. Most of it has been done here before.
Whatever you do to get the visits and then clicks is good to go as longer as it doesn't involve Self-clicking with or without VPN. That is a No-No, because it will result in account ban and negative stereotyping for the country.

One of my old AdSense+blog I sold for 2M to some guyz they banned the account after 6 months. These guyz were making 20K-30K monthly via arbitrage. Don't know whether it was free or paid or bots. The same scenario might apply to parking.

declassyweb:
If anyone want to make money with digital marketing either CPA, Affiliate, E-commerce, we all know the person need either paid or free traffic. I can’t go on further to talk about traffic monetization and strategy related to cashparking as it is more than what it can’t be type.

Well understood & good luck with it. At least this answers the questions for those intending to binge on a reg spree. It is more deep than you may think. DYOR!

Adiós.

declassyweb:
If you have a diabetes bank traffic, it doesn’t makes sense sending that type of traffic to travel niche lander page.

Great & happy weekend everyone.

Do you run Traffic arbitrage like AdSense arbitrage on your parked domains? Because I know those FB groups might not come free.

And if so, what's the ad spend like in comparison to revenue?

Would their be risk of the parking company to ban the account if one sends arbitrage traffic or there's specific precautionary measures as we've seen with some AdSense accounts being banned.

And I suppose traffic arbitrage should be legal but I'm not sure as opposed to sending bots traffic.

If you can expatiate more would be great. Because some people will just see 4 figure monthly revenue and will go on reg spree to reg high back link names with high cpc and end up disappointed.

The Blank Screen stuff***

Domainer1999:
Don't mind them. They wish they are the one that owns those names hence the wailing. Pot calling kettle black they say.

As someone said, you gotta take chances and got in early if you wanna hit home runs.

Everybody go chop break fast. People that can't even leave 'two word' coms for a day, a minute or a second for newbies to use hold body small.

sammyrollo:
You see that auction ehn, sometimes I Dey wonder if these guys money no Dey finish😁😁 imagine Backgroundremoval .com going to $26000 in auction, Oboy😁

I no ft laugh. The one percenters also cry! Complaining about the same thing u guyz dey do. One dey say 'this seems so wrong'. Life go humble people.

I tell u, on Christmas day, this guyz no dey rest!

Oshiofe:
the thing too much
We go dey try our best to dey get the small small ones than quiting

Sure many opportunities dey. Especially for outbounding.

Anything buy & sell can never die except people aren't using the product anymore. At least domains will still be around for the next decade.

Let's enjoy while it last.

Oshiofe:
Dan na baba! I'm still missing the market place. Wetin GoDaddy do us too much walai

they single handedly retired geo & some class of domainers.

Domain industry is a billion dollar industry. Just 1% eating everything while the rest eat crumbs. Those 1% which includes top domainers and top gees like GoDaddy no dey sleep even for once.

Just look at the sweet sweet names for auctions wey their owners done die, close business or don't renew but alas you no go even ft grab one hold body before you know the top guys done come inflate the money go 1K. Can't these guy's even rest for a day. Or an hour. Or a minute sef!

And u ft carry ur normal closeout or drop reg of similar quality offer them for 100 dem go decline but ft spend 1K for less quality names for auctions.

Omor this industry ehh! If U wan learn about pure capitalism enter this industry. Either adapt or call it a quit. Bad bad sharks! One time I offer one top VC alt domainer one of my dot VC name wey I done renew twice for 100 that's like offering for reg fee. The guy decline. As I drop am e go reg am for same reg fee.

Is that one...com promo for $1.99 still active guy's? How many domains can be reg?

Greenscientist:
it's nice to see people dropping sales report again

Maybe Trump effect. Market done dey ripe small small. Hoping it continues this way for everyone. Congratulations to recent sellers.

Oshiofe:
A situation where you see a good geo names at expired domains and you check the related name, is registered and placed for $1,300 And above. by a fellow investor. Also , have some parkings advert displayed on the afternic lander.

Is it good to proceed registering the good one you have found not minding the related registered?

Sometimes those that owns the related name, I don't think they do outbound or willing to sell it at low price , they just hold the name......


Learner , talked against registering a name that its related has been registered by an investor that's why I bring this out

What I meant is for domains that are currently being outbounded or had been outbounded..in your case since it's $1300 on the lander maybe sedo or Afternic it is possible end users haven't been reached out judging from the price. So you can go ahead and register and outbound.

All the best.

Sapiosexuality:
It's still the same thing here. I think for the next sale I may have to use my Naira account if nothing is done before then. It's just $20 charge with wire and the exchange rates are almost at par with the black market rate.

They will fix it. Just keep checking. Try to use the Chat option on Afternic Contact. I sent them an email no response then I chatted them up. Works well.

Also try using the "Hold Payment" option. They won't release fund until you want. Use it to culminate your funds. You can find the option as well under the 'Payee' filling stage. $20 dollar ain't small oo. And you know our 9ja banks are sharks as well. You might end up with 40 for a 100 sale.

Gdluck.

Sapiosexuality:
I think I've tried this and at that point of signing your names, etc., the site was irresponsive.

Check your Afternic @Oshiofe & Sapio. They just did mine without an email. Click on that Green 'If you want to be........'

I just logged in to my other Afternic account was about to go and change my location to USA. Like I posted before and found out they added it without getting an email.

So na so 75K go like that. Money for better goat. We move sha

Sapiosexuality:
I'm not sure the issue is from Grey? I believe it happened in the course of the conversion from USD to £ from Afternic. Or could it be from Grey? I doubt it.

At all it ain't from Grey. But Grey have updated (adjusted) their pricing for 2025. U should check.

I think I'm going to try that option of US Address and see for my other Afternic Account.

Sapiosexuality:
Same thing the guys told me and I've given up and just using Grey pounds. I lost over 75k last month already from the conversion to pounds. Doesn't make sense.

Don't leave them oo!. Press their neck. If possible tag their X handle them go fix am.

Grey done also increase their pounds money oo! For those receiving via pounds. He b like 2025 na just increment here and there. Omor.

I think there's another way again to go about it. If person use USA as location for the first page. Then on that page to fill in tax form etc there's a way to now put non-citizen like SH and then lastly put ur US ACH account. I never get that time sha tinker am. But I think it will work. Like u fill the payee like u r staying in USA a non-citizen having ACH. If we also observe, you go notice some of those our virtual cards dey get US Address and 9ja Address.

Anyway I sense racist, not that I'm trying to do victim mentality. I sense racist with all these blockings, gestures. From blocking Nigerians on Streak, bitpay and several platforms to something like this** I know say our people can be nuisance sometimes..but the more reason maybe it's high time we start building our own systems and platforms. Where are our 9ja Devs. Daaz seems to be Indian guys.

massive1019:
Let me drop this here because of likes...

Came in 02/01/2025
Hold Time: 7 months
Drop reg
If you don't buy, you can't sell...
More sales to us all...


No more info...

Jan came with a banger. Congrats & More sales bro.

Oshiofe:
For how long does it takes afternic to activate international payee " I have contacted them since 28/12/2024 yet they haven't enabled it after they have replied this. Should I contact them again or continue waiting patiently?

Same shit over here bro. I have two accounts with Afternic. When one of the bosses gave the clue I did it on one of the accounts it was approved with 1 day of making contact.

So I had a sale on the other account. I quickly put the payment 'onhold' I say make I go tell rep. At first rep say nothing like that. I come give am evidence. Him come say ok no p him go tell payment reps to enable the option...up till now ooo nothing. If fit done reach 11days.

Wetin I just notice many quiet people dey the thread that don't share any updates, competition don choke. I could understand the employment problem in Nigeria. U drop any update like this before u know him done choke. It is well.

Now wey Sav don end their 7.95. What's the way forward. One dropreg/handreg domain now go dey go 15/17K....more reason to look well before regging. One niche wey don suffer ehh! Guys done milk am finish na 'Remodeling' & building niche...omo too many junks on Ed.

Beyond domaining, there r mad opportunities looking to be explored in AI & E-commerce.
