which market place bro? Have been trying to reduce one of my domains to less than $100, but keeps saying the price must be equal or more than $100
It was sold on Namesilo (registered on Namesilo), like said before, the domain was registered in my early days of domaining (before Netsol promo).

Mind telling us the name
austincellrepair,com ordinarily a good name but most of the potential buyers were very small businesses.
BusinessRe: What To Do To Make Money Online? by otoboson: 9:37pm On Jan 02, 2019
Another deal closed, very small though $40 but the name was one of the craps I picked up in my early days of domaining.
Lesson to newbies: DON'T BE GREEDY WITH SALES ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE A DOMAIN WITHOUT BUYER INTEREST (MAYBE ONLY 1 RESPONSE FROM ALL YOUR OUTBOUND MESSAGES), IF THE NAME IS CRAP, DON'T BE EMOTIONAL ABOUT YOUR PRICE. USE THE MONEY TO BUY ANOTHER DOMAIN, EVEN $20 CAN FETCH YOU 20 BETTER NAMES ON NETSOL PROMO.

New follow up message I am experimenting on (after they read my email and don't reply); HI, WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE US AN OFFER FOR THE DOMAIN?

I got a domain name from expired domains
Registered it, trying to list on undeveloped, but it's been denied because my fellow Nigeria brother has the name already. But on whoise.com, it's my name and registrar. That is showing

Have started an online chart with undeveloped.com to change it, but they are delaying.
Lol, same thing happened to me yesterday but I messaged undeveloped and Laszlo promised to fix it today.
In another news, January 1st delivered $200 sha.

HI domainers,
Got a response to one of the mail I sent to end users this morning, checked my junk and found a mail replied since 26th December

The mail was "What's your price?" Even though the domain link to the undeveloped sales page is in the mail I sent with the BIN

Is this response ok:??
Is this response ok;

Hello ###

"My asking price is $499. Make a close offer if interested and we may have a deal"
Kindly confirm the domain availability: Bostoncoindealer.com for immediate purchase.

Richard
It's good but I think it would be better like this; THE PRICE IS $499, HOWEVER WE ARE OPEN TO CLOSE OFFERS. YOU CAN VISIT BOSTONCOINDEALER.COM TO BUY IT DIRECTLY OR MAKE AN OFFER.

NB: the all-caps is just for emphasis

I dont see the logic here. You expect someone to go back in search if a letter not knowing the page where it is.
This is different from reading the thread to learn about domain flipping.
Let's be reasonable sometimes. Dont ask someone to read up a whole thread in search of something that can be easily given in 1 or 2 minute(s)
Lol, off course you won't see the logic. IF YOU READ THE THREAD, YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF SALES LETTER, SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT WORKS BEST IN DIFFERENT OUTBOUNDING SITUATIONS, YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN THAT A SALES LETTER COULD BE JUST 1 SENTENCE (e.g Hi, domain bla bla bla is available for sales, I'm open to discussions if you're interested), YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN DISCUSSIONS ON WHETHER TO HAVE THE DOMAIN PRICE ON YOUR SALES LETTER OR NOT, the benefits of reading this thread are enormous, in order not to derail the thread further, I won't respond to you after this post.
Good luck with your hustle.
BusinessRe: What To Do To Make Money Online? by otoboson: 9:31pm On Dec 26, 2018
Alabaintprice:
Its not a big deal. If you cant refer someone the page where the sales letter is then dont tell one to go back.
Interesting, you expect someone else to read the thread, get the exact page(S) where sales letters were posted, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO READ? I SAY WEHDON SIR! LOL.

Note to SERIOUS newbies:
When you're advised to read this thread from the beginning, don't get upset or feel ignored, it's for your own good because THERE ARE SO MANY ANSWERS TO ALL THE QUESTIONS A BEGINNER WOULD ASK! Even if you can't read all, try 1 to 50 (or 100), you have everything you need here.

How do you find clients using Facebook search and Facebook lead tools that someone else mentioned above?
And do you message them directly via Facebook inbox or you find a way to get their email addresses and them email them?
No special tools, but I contact PAGES not individuals.

Congrats on your sales, more wins

How did you bypassed the FB spam filter because I'm restricted in sending multiple messages?
I don't send too many messages at the same time. They (Facebook) block me once in a while (from sending messages) but I just wait for 24hours and continue.

Please oga iyke and other experts in the room, how can I answer the question my client is asking me. The question is " how can I know that you are the owner of the domain and how can I convince him that all these is not a haux". Please he has already agreed to the price but it's trust that is the issue now. Thanks
Where did you list the domain? Tell him that he can go directly to the marketplace and buy the domain, if your whois is public, you can tell him to search for the domain and see who owns it.
BusinessRe: What To Do To Make Money Online? by otoboson: 11:18am On Dec 26, 2018
I don't report sales here often, but domaining is LEARN AS YOU GO. Just 2 days ago, I bought a crazy looking domain name (I think it's German) just because the expireddomains/net stats were good. I listed it for sales ($499), only to wake up the next morning (yesterday) to see a $200 offer from a German guy (no outbound), I realized that it was important and when I used Google translate to check the meaning, I was something about company credit abi business loans, I made a counter offer of $400 already, I intend to accept the $200 but I want to have some fun.
Before you get too excited, I started domaining around May and I made a sales in less than 1 month just reading this thread, however, I HAVE OVER 50 UNSOLD DOMAINS. Some are garbages I picked up when I was new to the game (with Netsol $1, I still make mistakes when buying sometimes), some are good domains just waiting for the right time. I have sold names that don't make any sense, I HAVE ALSO SOLD A NIGERIAN .NG DOMAIN TO A NIGERIAN COMPANY (just $100 though).

MY ADVICE TO NEWBIES AGAIN, READ THIS THREAD AND TAKE THE ADVICE SERIOUSLY, LEARN AS YOU GO AND KEEP BUYING GOOD DOMAINS EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T MAKE ANY SALES.

Congratulations bro.
You used your normal Nigeria Facebook account?
If yes, it goes to show that when your domain is highly needed, your location can't stop sales.
Not just a Nigerian account, a Nigerian account without any friend (more likely to be seen as a scam) but dedicated to domaining, I don't hide my identity and I post about my domains once in a while.

Congrats bro The outbound was Facebook leads tool or just Facebook search?
Just Facebook search, it was easy though because the domain is a geo domain.

So outbound can still work during this holidays? Thats a great one brother. Congratulations!
It's even the best time for some domains (recreational, travel, hotels, etc).
BusinessRe: What To Do To Make Money Online? by otoboson: 6:12am On Dec 26, 2018
Funny thing happened yesterday, I registered a name on Netsol, listed for $599 (undeveloped) and did outbound (facebook) immediately, I got two interested buyers, the first guy said he was interested, he dropped his email and I followed up. In less than 1 hour the other guy made an offer of $399 and I didn't counter it (I could have gotten more but I have learnt not to be greedy or attached to any domain), DOMAIN SOLD. Then 30 minutes later the other guy asked me why the domain was $599 bla bla bla, I told him that it has already been sold and I can't do anything about it, like 6hours later his business partner contacted me about the domain and asked if similar names are available, I asked him if he would be interested in buying the plural and he said yes. I don buy and put up the plural for $499, I know say before today go end, this one sef go sell.

Why did I tell this story? A GOOD DOMAIN AND A LITTLE MARKETING SKILLS ARE ALL YOU NEED TO SELL YOUR DOMAIN! If your question is HOW DO I GET A GOOD DOMAIN, my answer would be READ THIS THREAD FROM PAGE 1.

Bosses in the house please I need an urgent answer to this, been sending mails to alot of end-users but not even one have replied, not even a thanks I don't need it, could it be that my mails are going to spam?
Firstly, what subject title do you use? I have been using INQUIRY for a while and it has a very high open rate (more than 70% of my mails get opened); this brings me to the second part, when they open your email, what do they see? Do buyers see a potential to boost their business or just another spam/junk email?
Most times I don't get a reply after they open the email, but you ask yourself was this email read by a receptionist or the owner of the business?
My advice;
1. Use a simple subject title like INQUIRY or something that'll make them curious about the email.
2. Track your emails (the process has been taught here many times).
3. Send to the right email address (most generic emails like INFO@nigeria.abcdefgh are read by receptionist who often conclude that the email is a spam).
4. Make your sales letter straight to the point (maximum of 3 paragraphs with 2 lines each) and try to reduce the use of words such as sales (using this many times in 1 email could be send to spam folder if the user has a strict spam filter).
5. If they read the email and they don't reply, continue following up (maybe every week) until they get tired of ignoring the email and tell you to stop sending them such emails (at this point please respect their decision and stop the follow ups).
6. *BUY GOOD DOMAINS, THIS IS THE MOST GUARANTEED WAY OF MAKING SALES AND GETTING RESPONSE FROM END USERS*
Enough for this morning, enjoy your day and more sales to y'all.

Are you really sure about the 60days lock insinuation??
Do they give Auth code to a domain with a 60 days lock? I don't know for sure but I requested for auth code and they provided it (for the 2 domains I have requested to transfer) so as far as I can tell, no transfer restrictions on those domains.

Wow, that's great.
Never knew.
Are you sure the 60days lock period is not binding on the $1 promo domains?
You just reported a sales of $350 after 20days of registering the name at Network Solutions, how did the buyer get the domain from you?

Boss in the house, please how can I transfer a domain from network solution to my namesilo or Dynadot account.
I just registered roboticLobectomy.com @ network solution, I plan to hold long on this domain. But Network solution renewal fee is killing compare to above mentioned.
Gurus in the house what is your opinion?

Treasure28:
You can't transfer now until after 60days. Then select the domain, click on request AUTH code and then unlock the domain.
The AUTH code will be sent to you after 3days
You can then proceed to namesilo and click on domain transfer. You will then provide the AUTH code for the domain there.
This is not entirely true, on Saturday I requested for an Auth Code from Network Solutions for one of the domains I bought with the 1$ promo, the buyers had already paid and requested a transfer to GoDaddy so after requesting for the Auth Code I called Network Solution and told them that I can't wait for 3days because I have sold the domain. The guy created the Auth while we were talking on the phone and I received the code in less than 30mins (instead of waiting for 3days).
In summary; the 60 days lock isn't activated for the 1$ domains and if you need the code urgently, call them, you don't have to wait for 3 days .
