I dunno about the experts but what i do is,
B4 buying domain, i go to US yellow page, search for the product/service and the city (in case of geo domain)
If i see considerable number of end users.
I then go to google to search the exact keyword of the domain (eg Vegas Autoshop) to confirm the number of end users. I personally don't use bing.
I enter each site, first i check for their email in d home page, if i don't see, i go to "contact" page, most of the times i see it there. And i don't prefer completing "contact form", i prefer getting the email itself because i do track emails i send.
If i don't still see the email in the contact page, i look for facebook logo/link in the site, it will redirect me to their facebook page, there i usually see their email, if i still don't see it, i send them message directly on facebook.

If no email, no facebook page, only phone number, most of the times i ignore d website and move to the next one. But if i feel this website is strongly related to my domain (eg website that have a very poor version of my domain) i get the phone number and send them SmS using my US number. But i do that on rare occasions. Hardly i leave a website w/o trying to reach them. Because i feel every website may contain my buyer!
And note, only 20 endusers ain't enough, if possible get 50+

You see; the problem with most of you young nairalanders of nowadays is not understanding the idea of a forum.

A forum is where you share ideas and subtly run advertisement to your websites.

You should probably read up and understand the "Title of the Thread" to get an understanding correlation of my earlier posts.

You need a targeted audience and an audience that is really hungry for a particular service to be rendered to them.

This is the key to earning money online.

Many people make the mistake of first thinking about an online business they are passionate about; this is very wrong because on a much later scale; when they do not get audience for such businesses; they soon lose the passion for continuing such businesses.


The Key Solution to getting started with any online business is : Finding a Niche that a lot of people are in dire need of.

Once this is achieved; and you got your sales improved and profits rolling in; then you can now venture into a business you are passionate about. This way; even if your passionate business isn't yielding yet; you won't feel irritated as you already made for yourself an initial stream of income.




I'm talking from a versed experience with running so many online and offline businesses.


Presently; I work online as a Sport, Binary Options and Digital Options Trader. I also got a mentoring school where I train people on these. I wasn't passionate about trading Digital options and Binary options; but I had to learn trading these for over a year in order to mentor people into trading them as this is a financial niche that is yet untapped while many are running and getting their fingers burnt or being quite successful through FOREX trading.

I prefer to trade online because i don't need to depend on an audience to subscribe to any of my services before I earn a daily income.

I earn between $200 - $500 daily while trading Sport and other financial assets. And i build websites as a passive income. Web development is a skill I learnt in my early years.

My advice to many Youth today is to learn and develop online skills like Web development, Graphic Designs, EBook Cover Making, Content Writing, Kindle/EBook publishing, and most importantly - Marketing, Advertisement and Promotion Strategies.


Don't be too carried away with doing only online businesses; Get an offline venture to invest in and protrude the venture online to increase your sales too.


There are many online businesses; you just need to find your drift.


Most crucial piece of advice: Venture into Agriculture. Go Short, Medium and Long Term.




Best Regards.

After @Nezta43 talked about outbounding on LinkedIn, I downloaded the lite version and did the keywords search... But I was unable to message any of them. Cause their message button has the lock sign and was told to upgrade. What does that mean please? Or I should delete the lite version and download the full version.

Domaining eeeh
There was a name I placed on $100 because I was tired of outbounding for it. I woke up one morning and saw it that someone clicked the Bin. I taught it was maybe an end user or someone who wants it, since I didn't outbound for it that period. I sent him the Auth code via Dan, and it was pushed out of my registrar. Just saw now that the person who bought it is a Domainer and renewed it for two years and left it on makeoffer with Dan.com

One of the ways I get emails from websites is to go to google and type "email of (the website)" e.g. "email of nairaland.com". All emails associated with the site will show up. Even the email of the ceos. This has helped me alot.

Yes you can. Although ensure you delete it from the various market platform after sale to avoid BAN. Shalom

This is long but it's worth it, especially for newcomers.

Outbound domain sales are a popular means of creating a revenue stream without having to wait for a buyer to come to you. Consisting of finding a suitable owner for a domain and then contacting them directly, outbound sales is typically done via email or phone to a targeted group of individuals or companies.

Usually, an outbound domain sales process will involve research via Google, LinkedIn and other services, followed by crafting a sales letter and sending a personalised email. In this article, I'll walk you through the outbound sales process using one of my own domains - PhotoRetoucher.com.

I've chosen this name because it's a memorable, two-word .COM that could be highly desirable to any photo retoucher, so there would be plenty of potential end-users. The domain isn't for sale, it's simply being used in a scenario to help with this walkthrough.

Before we start, I'd like to point out that in my eyes, outbound domain sales are not an excuse to send bulk emails to thousands of investors or end-users. You also need to undertake outbound sales at your own risk, as "for sale" emails have been used to successfully win UDRP cases in the past.


Research

Search Engines

Starting at square one, you'll need to find suitable companies to send your domain name to. Depending on your domain, you may end up with just a handful of leads, or you may have 20-30 qualified leads. My first step would be to Google the keyword(s) that make up the domain.

In this case, those keywords are photo retoucher. To get results that use your exact keywords (rather than variations), use quotation marks when you search. So, for photo retoucher, I would search for "photo retoucher".

I would look through several pages of Google results, looking for any company that either uses the keyword(s) in their domain name, uses an inferior TLD, or uses the keyword(s) within their home page title. I'd also look for any relevant advertisers for the keywords.

I would also repeat this search without quotation marks, to find companies advertising for similar terms, or to find companies ranking highly for similar keywords. On Google, you can also search using inurl: to specifically find websites using your keyword(s) within their URL.

Google isn't the only search engine I'd visit, but it is the first. After Google, I'd repeat my searches at Bing and DuckDuckGo to ensure I hadn't missed any obvious leads.

Once I've found relevant companies via search engines, I make a note of their URLs to visit again later, in order to find specific contacts.

LinkedIn

LinkedIn is an phenomenal tool in outbound sales. Searching through the social network can help you discover new leads that don't necessarily get shown in search engines. Using LinkedIn's company search can also help you discover useful facts such as the company's size, which could help you determine whether or not to contact said company.

As with search engine results, type your keyword(s) in to LinkedIn's search bar to find company results. As my domain is PhotoRetoucher.com, I would also look at a select number of user results, too, because many photo retouchers work on a freelance basis, and may not necessarily list their company on LinkedIn.

Similar Domains

If your domain name is a desirable name, and many companies are using variations on that name, it may be advisable to contact them, to see if they are interested in upgrading their name. For example, with my PhotoRetoucher.com domain, I see that the .org version has been developed by a software company, so I would probably contact them.

ZFBot is an excellent, free service that allows you to find similar names based on keywords that you enter. It will search through over 140mm domain names to find similar domains to yours.

Again, make a note of all URLs to go back to later.


Finding the Right Contact

The general rule is that for small to medium companies, the CEO or founder is often the best person to contact. For larger companies, finding a lower level employee with direct association with a key decision maker is often your best chance.

To find the right contact, I would firstly visit the company website, as email addresses or key contacts can often be found there (hint: try not to contact a generic "info@" email address). If an email address isn't found there, you can use LinkedIn to search for a specific company employee. If LinkedIn fails, a Google search, such as "[company name] CEO" may help you.

If you have a name and no email address, that's no problem. Using a service such as MailTester.com will allow you to guess their email address. Most companies follow one of three email protocols:
-FirstName.LastName (e.g john.smith@example.com)
-FirstInitialLastName (e.g jsmith@example.com)
-FirstName (e.g john@example.com)

If you have their full name, finding an email address should be no problem.

For PhotoRetoucher.com's leads, many companies I've found are fairly small, or are freelancers working on their own. In this case, checking WHOIS may be a possibility, as small businesses or sole traders may reveal relevant contact details via WHOIS.

Once you have your leads, you could store them within a CRM software. Streak is my own personal preference as it fits straight in to my Gmail account. A CRM will let you manage each lead, to see who has responded, who has enquired about a price, and who has declined the domain.

Some people may prefer to call a company directly, and this often gets good results. However, I prefer to keep all domain transactions via email, so I have a record of all conversations, offers, etc.


Sending Emails

As I said, I prefer to keep domain sales confined to email whenever possible, so at this stage I would send out emails individually, keeping each email personalised. Using the recipient's name and their company name within the email is my target. I also like to keep my emails as short as possible at just a couple of lines.

In my subject line, I would use the domain name as well as the word "available", or the phrase "for sale"; such as: PhotoRetoucher.com Domain For Sale. Specific subject lines such as these have always been effective for me.

Each message is personal to the recipient, so it will always start with Hi [name], or a variation on that. My sales email is usually no longer than three sentences, but it portrays what I'm selling well enough. The email will not contain a price, however. I've found that if a person is interested, they'll always reply with "How Much?" - at which point, you can open a discussion about a price.

Closing your email with a signature is fairly important. Displaying your name, company (if necessary) and contact details is a must, as well as displaying any required pieces of information such as company's registration number (depending on your location).

A professional signature isn't difficult to create. Websites such as NewOldStamp can help you to create an email signature in a matter of minutes.

While outbounding, I realised that some sites are beginning to black list the Nigeria IP address. I got feedback like"my location is not authorized" "IP blacklisted".

All I did was to download opera browser with VPN. Pit in the VPN and browse any site. Whether they blacklist our IP address or not.... For those on PC, download the epic browser and put on the VPN and choose a country from the top right side of the app.
