I know. After NameSilo allow you to buy the name, you'll still come here for another thing.

You know this guy is a newbie. Just let him be (no pun intended )
If you find his questions simp for you, just pass on it. Any other person might find it worthwhile answering.
You've done the best you can by telling him to read the thread or contacting the op. It's left to him to make the best use of the available options

frank417:
Selling as an individual or selling as a company, which has personally worked better for you?

Selling as an individual. You want to be as genuine as possible
One, you're most likely outbounding with a Gmail account not custom mail so your claim of a company might not look credible so

KOLLEE:
Whatsapp?

Yeah that's the plug right there
That's his contact

Reoutbound with CB Leads gotten from Opistorincos
I think I've sold about 4 names with CB leads gotten from him

More sales to us all

BItt:
Haaaa I am an amateur.
I went on there and created 5 domain names

What do you mean by create
Did you submit the names for Squadhelp registration??
Your story no clear ohh

BItt:
How can I do that, I am unable to figure that out

You adjust nameservers at your registrar (where you bought the name)

Ns1.squadhelp.com
Ns2.squadhelp.com

Those are the nameservers you'll change it to

PubgAvicii:
how do you guys pass the face verification test, mine always fail

It isn't hard na. Make sure you're in a well lighted environment. Make sure your front camera is clear enough, then follow all the prompts

Dude, this is a public thread. You certainly don't want your moniker to be known for this

Rather than begging people for money (hardly would anyone here heed you anyway), why don't you request to outbound for people.

There are folks here who have a good problem of managing their large portfolio and will only be too glad to give you names to outbound for quick flips. It's a win-win but more to your advantage

For them, you only relieve them slightly of some stress

For you, you make quick cash and also learn from their experience. You see the names they give you and you get insights on what kind of names to buy

This is what I did when I had a sales drought and I was broke sometimes back. It's more honorable that way

This also goes to to the other guy begging people to purchase domain names you're not sure of selling

If you're patient, consistent and not greedy, I believe this should work for you

Brokeness:
Good morning sir. Sir pls can you help me register just 1 name. I beg you in the name of God please 🥺 🙏🙏

Why not use AI for this
Una sha get plenty money oh

On the other hand tho, they might use some keywords well known to attract potential buyers for your domain. You might not recognize it

symbuul:
Opted for SH classification for one of my domains. My own description wey dey there before come make sense pass their own sef. $1 down

Why don't you share the strategy you used to sell 'all' your .ai names
I'm sure we all want to learn and pick a thing or two

100% isn't something we see all the time in this space

YoobaNesan:
@beckplanet, you're an action noob!
Auction is another home for crazy domainers. You can only win names on GoDaddy auction If you posses one of two;
- Deep pocket.
- A Crook.

That name that sells for $8k, the winner may have to get it for just +$xx.x.
This is it, they bid with two account, inflate price with one(won't pay) and get name with other(as runner-up), by making sure he's the two leading bidders.

As for .ai, you'll get your hand burnt if you invent words to reg.
I can tell you it's the riskiest tld to invest as I've seen people lament they reg up to 15 names and non have sell...(I've sold all my .ai names though and develop a strategy to go about it).
The trend will still be available for up to 2 decades.

Congratulations chief

EtimAbasiama:

Please ensure to invest into the business.

SALES REPORT

OrangeCounty/Flower/Delivery//king

Registrar - Dynadot

Price - $7.99

SV - Dan

BIN - $378

SP - $100 Make offer

HT 58 Days

First sale!
I regretted buying this name when people in this biz long ago discouraged me, some said it was too long. I wanted to delete it immediately , but just left it to stay for one year and I'll never renew it.

Reason I picked this name was because Orange County paid me $200 when I was working for someone and it was just after 11 days of working on the name on March

Read through the thread
You'll find lots of it

This metrics matter ehn
You could formulate metrics and he might not get very curious about your source provided his wife is not a very analytical person.
On the other hand, he could request for your source or an image and you'd ruin it all

Also, you can be honest by telling him that you don't keep metrics of your domain because you are only a domain broker.
He might not mind and still go ahead
On the other hand, he might tell you off that he has no solid proof of it's usefulness for their brand
I lost a sale last week because of this metrics something

Just weight the options and decide which you want to do
It's all left to you

papalasun:
Response from a buyer
My wife is an accountant and lucky for me also my CFO. I will run it by her when she gets home tomorrow. Do you have any metrics I could show her? Personally I don't know how much this would help improve business for us.

Unfortunately the domain does not really have any solid metrics .Although the name is Okay.

Congratulations boss
I wonder what inspired this reg tho

iykepromotions:
Sold NorthAndCompany/com $250. First offer of $200 which I countered with $450. He replied back with $250.

Hold time 8 months.

Congratulations to you

More sales to us all!!!

Allow the mails to rest for sometime. Sign up for newsletters and email warm up services.
Those help to improve the deliverability rate of your mails.
Also, have more mail accounts and don't overload each one.

For my new mails, I hardly send up to 150 mails in a day for each and I don't use them everyday as well

turmacs:
and what do i do when I find out that my messages aren't hitting inbox?

Discovering new niches is not as difficult as you think.
For me, I discover new niches when I'm doing manual scraping for my domain names.
Instead of hurrying to their "contact us" and hurrying out after getting the mails, I scroll down to "services" or "about us"
You'll see the list of services they offer. Try and research about unfamiliar ones and find out how popular it is.

For instance, while working on a seal coating name last year, I discovered some of them offer attic insulation. I researched further and I discovered that attic insulation is a major service for some others and then I matched it with a well populated state
That's how I go about some of my handregs

This is quite risky tho. Some new niches may fly, some may not

oskylabs:
Thanks for this informative post. I have just one question: how do you research and discover new niches?

For how many names boss
The code is not on TLDES so I want to be sure before I fund my account

Sapiosexuality:
^^Not quite. With the code DOTCOM you can still check out on Dynadot for $8.99.

My little note to newbies looking for first sale

You'll be tempted to register variants of names reported here e.g Atlanta Fishing Charters (reported) and you rush to reg Denver Fishing Charters
You'll get your fingers burnt. Please stop it.

If a niche is 'new and hot', be sure the one reporting would have regged the sweet variants before reporting.
Besides, I discovered that some niches do better in some cities than others.

A boss here gave me a niche relating to manufacturing about this time last year. I gave my mentee who was just starting out the Colorado version and she sold it within a week for $499 as her first sale. I recommended a variant for her in same Colorado and she sold it for $250 in less than a week.
Upon research, I discovered that the name only works in Colorado, California and Texas
An unsuspecting newbie who doesn't know his way around HRs would see the sales report and Jump in to register other states and wonder why he's not getting replies lol

ED is goated. Too much of Backordering have permeated that space but good names are still available. "Just avoid variation on Dan by all means and you'll make headway soon"

My last 2 cent. Domaining is arbitrary, no one has absolute monopoly of the market direction. While learning and all, try to find out what works for you
I was avoiding law niches because most of the bosses I've met don't like it. Sold my 6th law name this week
I also discovered that I sell photography names within a short period.

Your next purchase might be your first sale

So I've actually not been active on this thread this year
Spent the last couple of weeks reading through and trying to catch up with what I've missed so far

Here's a few of this year's sales

Arkansas PressureWash//king $100
Cleveland Tree Removal//king $100
MovingServices Boston//king $100
Indiana SealCoating//king $100
Pittsburgh BoudoirPhotographer//king $300

I sold a couple through contact forms, got inbound for a few and most through outbounds

I'm just trying to warm up to ED again... I've been so used to Handregs since last year. Also trying to warm up to manual scraping because I've been so used to LE as well.

BTW, CB is a very cool software. I get CB leads from @opistorincos and they are effective.

Also, I've identified my lucky months now and I go hard in them. September-December happens to be for me

Thanks for reading my epistle and I hope there's little value to pick from here

stanuplane:
I should renew it for 19k and sell it to you for 2k? Are you an imbeci1e?

Huge!!!

How many pages of this thread have you read??
Over 3k pages here and in all the pages, no one showed you how to make sales??

Make una just rest abeg

Telegram234:
It is now clear to me that no one is ready to show you how to make more sales, instead they show price of what they sold without showing you the name or keyword, not even a little advice to the newbies..

What can we define you as sef
You just come randomly and make some comments that's funny

YoobaNesan:
So shameful @icausetrouble can descend so low to mention someone's dad, generations, ancestors.. in an argument?

What a Tomfoolery!

You live up to your name chief
I've missed you tho, really

iCauseTrouble:
Boss. At your command sir.

Please I'm interested in the GMAP past questions.

I received a mail that my assessment is tomorrow morning.

I'll be very grateful


Thank you

This one dey transfer enduser aggression ohh

Greenbuoy:
I'll give you ₦12. To never contact me again with your bullllshit service. Also, you'd do better selling Instagram handles m0ron. You're trying to sell outdated trash. Don't ever try to extort me again.

You are IsaacTolu
Omooooo
Seen that moniker on NL
No be small pikin dey hol am ohh

tinnymerit:
The fund is sold already.
I dont need to drag issues with you. But try to confirm who is isaactolu:the pioneer of domain thread in 2011/12. You can also ask for Chibenze and 2sexy those were the guys I met when learning domaining. You met the third thread in 2023 and you are forming van dame. My moniker on namepros is almost 11 years. Like I said what did I know?

Good morning everyone
I'm new here

Where can I start from?
I want to learn this domain business and be making money too

Sales Alert!!!!
This might be a bit Lengthy as well
I remember coming to this thread to beg all the time; from sales letters to responses to tips to nameservers
Chaii!!!
Many times I felt like giving up but many people here helped me up. Tip 1, make friends with other Domainers, it will help in times of drought.

After my first sale, contrary to what icausetrouble told me, I squandered money and I bought only one domain VacationRentalsBaltimore which I gave to a friend. I thought the sales will just begin to flow in like that oh
From may, I didn't get anymore sale till August when I sold the PhoenixBoudoirPhotographer.

I knew better by now; I started buying more and more.
I met a friend and brother on this thread towards the end of August who started mentoring me thoroughly.
In September, I made 3 sales and did a total of $700
I started October with this $100 sale of MediationOC

I'm positive that October will be much better.

To fellow newbies awaiting first sale, please don't give up, e get why. When I started my service year, I was buying domain names and I had no savings unlike my colleagues. Even my mom scolded me about it. I had a gut feeling that I was doing the right thing and I kept at it.
Many times, I would read this thread overnight and that's why my comments here always come around this time
My eyes were always swollen for sleepless nights. Sometimes, I would research overnight and get only one name for acquisition.
Persistence is key oh. If you read my previous comments on this thread, you will see that my mumu then pass Investor Sabinus own.
I thank God for how far I have come in this journey

Newbies, don't give up!!!!!!!
First sale is the magic you need. Buy more names; your next purchase might be your next sale

Thanks to everyone but no giveaway today
More sales to us all

McTeesticks:
Na here we still dey oh
This one no get joy at all

Reading through testimonies and still hoping for that magical first sales too
I've not given up on 2021 yet, really
