#smiles I had zero knowledge about what it meant to own a blog in January, today I have one that on a good day pull 150+ visits, I did the initial set up myself through research and a tutorial vid offered by a friend till I moved to self hosting I had help which I got right here from webincomeplus. I must sound very ignorant for u to want me to stay away, but is the worst risk not taking any risk at all? I know it will have its pros and cons as I have been reading, but its all about doing what u need to with saness. Thanks. I have indeed noted ur warning.

Good.
Thank you. I apologize for generalizing as many newbies just think that they can enter domaining.
I like your opinion about the risks, something tells me you will go very far in domaining.
Happy Sunday.

Why are you in domaining biz.if it is impossible to make money in it. You have said, the biz is full of missleading. You are now missleadding somebody.

Domaining only need you to be serious and hard working. You first of all need to understand what makes good domains. You can have the knowledge by reading from blogs to forums and after knowing good domains. You can start buying from drop market, good domains are very rear available, though, you can still get very few for hand regs but they are very rear. If you have good money, you can buy cheap one from namepros.com when the owners needs money, they usually bring them to auction.

Domain biz is like every other business that requires training, you can not just jump and become millionare whithout learning the real rudimentry of the biz.
Just start learning and forget about buying any domain and give your self time to read and read.

Nigerians likes quick money and that is why we are facing challenges with domain biz. Do not waste your money to buy whithout proper learning and put exact what you learn in practice and you can.make money. It is not a biz to make you millions overnight, but I am saying it categorically that you can make good money from domaining.

Please note that once you are here, you need to help people and not to confuse them.

Cheers.

I never said it was impossible. I said it's hard. The learning curve is steep compared to other businesses.

Capital is required, selling and negotiation skills are a must. Luck also plays a crucial role.

My aim is not to mislead. Are you telling me that every single domain you have ever bought was a success?
Have you included the exchange rate problem?
What about trademarks? Domain theft? PayPal charge back scam?

Be honest, guy, 80% of the names in Name pros are utter crap and/or expiring. The good ones are bided upon by pros and the money is on the high side. Don't get me started with drop-catching. As you said, good domains are rare.

Guy, you're talking like Nigerians are patient people.
How people will really be patient to learn and learn? How many will really do deep research?
They are eager to start after a few tidbits.

People in general, think of domaining as the get rich quick overnight scheme. I don't blame them. The media is misleading. 90% of domains don't sell for that much.

Perhaps I should reframe it. Domaining should not be your first online business in this economy unless you seriously love and you are obsessed with it.

To quote you:

Do not waste your money without proper learning. It is not a business to make you millions overnight, but I am saying it categorically that you can make good money from domaining if you read like fùck. Plus having a good mentor is a must. Avoiding newbie mistakes such as relying in Estibot, buying hyphenated domains e t c


I greatly apologize to Brightgem if this is not her first online biz.

Brightgem:
Hi, after stumbling on this thread I have been trying to get a hang of it. Pls is it possible to simply register a domain name say on Godaddy and then resell it. I mean without creating a really site or blog around it. completly new to this, incase the question seems off.

Sorry to be blunt, madam, but if you don't know this basic fact about domains, I suggest you stay away from domaining.

Stay far away, it is mother freaking hard. You're better off trying Fiverr, that's easier and you will receive tons of help everywhere.

There's even an FB group for Naija Fiverr newbies.

Compared to this solo, sweat-inducing, near gambling, scam-filling, information misleading, high-risk business known as domain names business.

At least, in Fiverr, there's no chance you go enter court case.

Just my two cents.

expertix:

Sold? Cross check.your acount to confirm.

I find it suspicious that a domain name that good, that popular is on GD closeouts.
Why did other domainers skip on it?

Wonderful news

Please stop spreading false info,
I just spoke to purevpn and safervpn support, they don't offer UAE Dedicated VPNs.

Seylad2009:
Brother,longest time how are you? Please is this VPN a dedicated IP? The one I'm using is a dedicated VPN/IP but i paid 10$ per month and it's too much in this Nigeria economic situation.

Please, what vpn do you use?

The guy seem really joking. Honestly, I just registered a domain now 08YN.COM for a sum of $8.99 approx $9 and I was charged average of N381 to a $.

No, FCMB (via paypal) charged me 415 to $1 August 31st.
It's quite possible oooo.

Kai.
That moment you see a domain with 10k plus exact searches, only to see CPC of .004 cents!

I understand your possible concerns. I discussed them with my buyer and asked him about some kind of insurance. He gives you full guarantee of the purchase. He won't disappear after you send him the results.

All my sellers who ordered certificates sold their domains for very good money.

Of course, you must be sure you will sell it for at least $5,000. To avoid any risks just contact the certification agency at Authorize Domain Contact Page

Please send them your domain name and let them know you have a buyer with $5,000 offer and need a valuation near this value. It will help you to get a better valuation. In the comment field please ask them to guarantee that the appraised value will be higher than the appraisal service fee. In this case you will not risk to pay and get a low appraisal. I suggest you this company because they protect you as the seller from getting a low appraised value. They will send you the payment instruction only if your domain is worth appraising. Otherwise your request will be declined and you will not pay them anything. Other companies does not offer this option.



Sincerely yours,

This is a scam. An absolute one. DO NOT PAY FOR ANYTHING!

Alrighty!

N490 or $490 or what?

Some handregg'd doms cheaply bought could have high resell value. Such as GEO+ profitable high EMD, CPC keyword.

That's my belief. But I am not the guru here, you are.

Iyemik,
Guy, I've sent you mail.

Royle2014:
Just spent 490 on a useless domain name like dat... This is my first mistake sha...shows im ready to learn nd grow

If you don't mind, do tell the domain name. It might not be useless after all. Let the gurus here give a verdict.

The purpose of genuine voting at passing domains to auction on bido, is to sample people's opinions to see if your domains are liked by people and for you to get quick bidding when gets to auction. But if you lobby people to vote for you to get to auction will you once again lobby them to bid for your domains?.

the solution are to make sure you know what you are doing; the type of domains you are buying should be the types people will love to possess.
Chikena.
Foe example, the Ajj.info was submitted at bido yesterday and within an our, it has gotten the ten votes and it will commence auction on Saturday Sept, 3rd 2016. I also have other domains there but their votes are not up to 10 yet. But I know and by the grace of God; almost all of them will get the mandatory ten votes and going to be in auction very soon.

Cheers

I can swear I saw your domain on NP Auctions.

expertix:
I woke up this morning and surprised to see that this domain was been sold 8896038.com for a surprised amount, though for only $100.
Why I am surprised is that I thought 7Ns are no longer relevant in the market as Chinese are not buying much from early January 2016 as it was in 2015.

I was even waiting for the domain to expire and to drop it. You can see why no body is above mistakes in this World, the domain is the least expected to sell from my inner mind.

The domain whois has been changed to the new buyer a company based in US for that matter and waiting to collect my money from namesilo.com market.

Guy, I heard that namesilo is the best. I have domains on GD, but can I still list it on namesilo marketplace?

Plus, the number in question is a hot thing in Google.88896038

joe4866:
Please bosses.
The data display on expired domains are they real?

From personal experience, the CPC on expired domains website is false. (It differs from Estibot's valuation.).
Even the site (expired domains .net) warns you to not rely on their data.
There would be times when it would tell you a domain is free only for you to see that is reggd on GoDaddy.
Use with caution.

Motherfucker2:
I'm so glad i denounced my Nigerian citizenship last year.
A country where people are denied their essential human rights.

A guy gets locked up for naming his dog Buhari, meanwhile the guy who made the naked statute of Donald Trump is still walking around a free guy.

The Fulani guy who raped that 13 year old girl (Esaru) was not charged with any crime or locked up, he even took the presidential private jet back to Kano.

The sad part is that some Nigerians will laugh over it, I realized a long time ago that Nigerians are gracefully stupid

Please, how did you denounce your citizenship? I want to denounce as well.
