The comparison is not fair without checking statistics. How many names does BrandAim have all together comapared with TonyNames? Also, how much do they expend on domains quarterly or monthly?. iCausetrouble acknowledged that sales is slow this year comparing to previous years and despite having over 600names he had to liquidate some to reduce renewal fee. In brandables, number is key because most of your sales are inbound except you have a relative name associated with a coy yet to launch or would like to redirect same.

SH is great because of her spread in over 60 marketplaces. Therefore, SH insight should not be a yardstick in this context. There are names you feel shouldn't take more than 3months to sale, you realise you have to renew till it drops. Brandables got to with lot of research and instinct.

In this industry, stats can be deceptive. I made my inference base on what I've seen and read concerning both of them on their acquisitions and sales. Also talking from my own point of view and my experience so far in the industry.

I'll still maintain that brandables study should not be based on SH insight. Most people like me have made that mistake, and we thought once we know how SH works thats all for brandables.

I studied Judgemind early sales on SH and his acquisitions afterwards the difference was there.

One thing though, i feel name acquisition should not be based on SH marketplace insight. What I'm saying is, we should not buy names bacause SH will accept it, but rather because it will sell no matter the marketplace it's listed.

Using 2 people as an example.

Judgemind aka BrandAim has 80% of his names listed on SH, most of his acquisitions are based on SH insight. Tonynames acquisitions are not influenced by SH, though the guy has had a vast knowledge of domain acquisition before joining domain community in 2020. Comparing their acquisitions and sales, i feel Tonynames has a bit of success rate compare to Judgemind.

SH is a good marketplace but should not influence in name acquisitions.

I'm really grateful to God for these sales, all of which came in the first two months of the year.

Without these, things would have been more frustrating. I haven't sold a single Geo name in like 4-5 months despite continuous outbound marketing. Phew!

Thanks be to God! More sales for everyone.

Just my newbie thinking...

Constant sales = constant buying...

You can not be buying 10 names per month and expect contant sales...domaining is now hard, reason being that we have too many variations on that domain name you are pushing.

Again my brother...domaining is no more easy, therefore more research is also needed. Research more on a name before you reg it.

Alexxien:

I use same sales template all through the periods of out-bonding. I only formulate a new sales letter when I get a response from endusers, replying back to them based on the content of what I received.

After the first out-bound every other subsequent out-bounds(follow ups) are not sent under the pre-existing mails sent out. They are all independent of one another. So, all follow ups are like sending out a newly fresh mail for the first time.

Out-bounding are carried out just once in a month. Most of my sales came in at the 7th, 8th, 10th months after price reduction.

After 8th follow ups...Great months ahead for us all. Follow up! Follow up! Follow up!

just my 2 cent...

Try and change your followup mails...using same all the time might make your emails prone to spam.

Like me...i have up to 15 followup mails with different content in them...

MatthiasChin:
walahi domaining na the closest thing to virtual bet9ja
But you, my friend, is a strong hand...agba

nah this kind thinking go make you later quit domaining. Take domaining as a business. Start working harder.

Predicting woe for the future you have not seen is morale killing itself.

Make good of today, tomorrow will take care of itself. People were selling domains like pure during covid when all economy was like grounded. People are buying domains all over the world and not in usa only.

So far you keep pushing and you are not idle, what you will eat will never pass you.

My 2 cent...

Withdraw your sales proceeds to grey gbp. Obtain their vitual card and fire on.

It helps in budgeting and saving.

If i make $299 sales for example. I remove $100 and put it in my usd acct at grey. I will withdraw the remaining in gbp to my naija acct. No need to worry about conversion rate ishh..chipper cash nonsense.

No matter how small the sales i make, i must remove a certain percentage and put in grey usd for reinvestment.

This thing is annoying, after spending time searching for quality pending deleted domain names on ED. I noticed all these names are always been taken before 6:45pm.
Now I've resorted to placing backorder. Please between dynadot and dropcatch, which is best for placing a backorder or which website will you recommend
Thanks

oga...be very careful with dropcatch...it can send you back to village.

YoobaNesan:
Lots of fake sales report lately, why?

this is my first time of attacking someone online...but i will do this...

If you are not seeing sales...dont think everyone is experiencing the same...there are some people that have grown above that. This i say with experiences of some close friends that i have.

2k well researched names...if you know what you are doing you can be knacking $5k in sales per month...

Peace...more sales to us all...

I won't advise anyone to use UBA Dom card.

UBA has been giving me issues of recent.

Dynadot locked me out for a week or so because I was trying to pay for a name, but the payment didn't go through due to some reasons, yet, UBA debited me. Tried it for the second time and it went through.

When I reached out to UBA to refund the first transaction that didn't go through, they requested I filled a charge back form, which I did without hesitation.

Surprisely, UBA did a charge back on the second transaction that went through - Reason dynadot locked my account.

I moved to namebright because dynadot said I can no longer use my Dom card on their site.

Same thing happened on namebright last month.

Namebright said I must pay $250 charge back fee before I can get access to my account.

If anyone has experienced something like this with namebright, kindly let me know how it was resolved so I can do same.

Ignore my typos abeg!

Happy New year in Advance and many more sales in 2023!

why not collect uba dollar africard. Fund the card with your dom account(visit uba branch...fill both withdrawal and deposit slip with the amount you want to put in the africard. Tell them to withdraw from your dom and put it in your africard). This is what i have been doing.

Note: Africard is #1,500 while dom card is $15

@ massive1019 I would appreciate if you can give a lead on how to go about having custom mail, which registrar you use and plan.

Here are few things that worked for me:

Here is thing I normally do use LE, then use CB for authentic email. The more CB email you got, the better.

I outbound from 8pm to 6am. Almost all my sales drop at night.

Use a very crafting sales letter with subject, then follow up like you know what they're thinking.

Most follow up are majory 3 times in a week. Just like aggressive outbound.

You would get, reply, someone demanding questions or another name, clear their doubt...

That all

the tutorial on custom mail has been done...you can search for it.

You have a good strategy there...but dont you sleep?...as for me, i cant joke with my sleep...

Well with all these grey stuff up and down...received £££ into it yesterday and cashed out with no stress...

Crazeworld:
Geo sales are mostly outbounds. Of a truth, most of the buyers only buy them because of your marketing pitch... a sense of urgency that makes them think it is not good for their competitors to have it. They don't have a problem dropping between $200-$500 for them. And some don't even bother to redirect it away from the marketplace even after purchase. Some won't even renew them (that's even if they remember owning them).

But those kind of sales by Swetha are different, way different. The buyers come knocking themselves without being invited, buying for thousands of dollars only to redirect it to a dead Twitter handle or not even resolving? C'mon!

1, 2, 3, or even 4 in 10 sales not developed can be said to be normal. But 7 or above should raise eyebrows.

it raises nothing. The people buying this domains are not struggling people. They are well to do people. Companies, corporations etc. that might have intended project and will make use of domains might buy domains for the purpose of not losing out on the domains.

eg i sold Web3TV xyz for 799 and the buyer has not used it for once...infact its not even pointing to anything. So what do you call such type of sales?

HIGHESTPOPORI:
When they drop after you sell them, do you normallybuy them again?

Reg them again and resell...

Crazeworld:


There is no way anyone is going to critique her without it coming off like envy but I think those questioning her sales have a point too. Most of the sales in mid 5 figures to six figures are not been put use even after months of sale. By most, I mean over 75% of her sales. It is hard to imagine that people will write such cheques for a not so popular domain extension without having a plan for them. If those sales were occuring in 4 figures, I don't think such scrutiny will happen. Statistics doesn't lie, does it?

Whether or not the sales is a plan by the xyz registry or some wealthy syndicate, Swetha has proven beyond doubt that those sales really did happen. I don't think she owes anyone any explanation or proof but she has provided them. Her sales report of xyz domains has no doubt promoted the extension in the domain industry and by extension inflated the wholesale price of decent SLDs in that extension. While this is as a result of FOMO, it is left for domain investors to decide for themselves what they are comfortable with in investing on the xyz extension.

Whether this is a farce or not, time will tell. As for Swetha, I think she deserves better credit in the domain industry judging by the height she scaled over the last two years.

80% of our geo sales are not being put into use most of them end up being dropped the following year. Does that mean our reports are fake. All my afternic sales ended up not being used.

Learner47:
How to know if a particular end user have been checking your domain out via Google Analytics. You can use that info to know whether to keep a domain or let it drop alongside other informed decisions:

I assume all of your landing pages are already pointing to Dan

1. Setup Google analytics on Dan. I shared this in previous post.

2. Use Desktop to go to Analytics and login with your Gmail.

3. Go under AUDIENCE>>USER EXPLORER

4. You will see all the Users that have been visiting your individual domains or multitude pages. You can know how long they spend...their bounce rates, to know whether they're bots etc.

5. You can also set a time period, like from Jan 1, 2022-Nov 11, 22 on the top right hand side to know how many times a particular user have been visiting your domain for a period of 11 months.

6. When you scroll to the bottom of the page, there is the SHOW ROWS. You can set that to 5000 to show all the users on the screen.

7. At the top we have CLIENT ID, SESSIONS, BOUNCE RATE.

8. CLIENT ID is the unique person that have been visiting ur domain. SESSIONS, the number of times, BOUNCERATE, how long the particular user stays or level of interest in the page.

9. You can click any of the users to further get infos

10. Then you can now know whether the user have been visiting that particular domain a number of times. You will see the time of visit and also the time spent on the Dan page.

11. There are some users you will see them jumping from one of your domains to another. Those ones are mostly other domainers or bots. Not real end users.

12. End users will be checking a particular domain for multiple times not jumping from one to another.

Thus with this, you can at least know whether to keep a domain or not.

this is Gold here...thumbs up bro...

BOOKWORMLUX:

Ok
Thank you

Thanks for sharing

Please explain this spread sheet part

just normal google sheet...but i use WPS for app...

Anytime i want to get leads...i copy the leads and paste it there then save it and name it the sheet with the domain keywork.

For example if i have gotten leads for SanFranciscoRemodelers...i will save all the leads in .xls file and then name it San Francisco Remodelers.

Next is to make it hyperlink...double tap on the hyperlinked email address to insert subject. Tap on the email address...tap on boomerang...paste you letter then send...simple.

Anytime you want to do followups...go back to .xls file....open and start sending your mails...with this no need to be looking for your sent mails...you can always send fresh mails...

BOOKWORMLUX:

Boomerang app is not reliable , except if you plan to use same phone for life

Lost all my outbound mails I sent using it just because I logged out of the app

Now I can't follow up

If you don't know about this, please think twice before using it because it doesn't save your messages after you logout or change device.

My personal experience

been using boomerang for life...even when i changed my phone last year...all my mails were still intact. If i send any emails through boomerang i will surely see those emails in my normal gmail app.

Another thing, dont you have a spreed sheet that contains all your email addresses...like having an excel sheet for each name. The sheet will make your work faster...like now i send 10 emails in 1min...

Chaiii..this thread is a bank of knowledge...

May God bless the op and those contributing...

My people perish for lack of wisdom...

I wonder what will happen to the reg Web3 domains...

Anyways I sha cash out $1300 from Web3...all in xzy
