Hence with a portfolio of 300 names the journey commenced in 2019.


January :
2019 began with 7 sales in January from Afternic

BuildLuxe dot com $150
Gildchain dot com $199
Robotionary dot com $150
Fiatluxe Dot com $195
Nutricoins dot com $399 (maybe because of the crypto craze)


Netted around $1800 from sales in this month from afternic and few other sales from namepros auction sales.
January Verdict : January was by far my best month so far in terms of turn over but not profit. Some of the sales maybe inspired by start ups starting the year with fresh ideas or acquiring a name for there upcoming businesses.


February :

Had 3 sales in February 2 at afternic one at Dan

HempCircus dot com $250
Hollandlabs dot com $200

Oscarautosales dot com $125 (@DAN)

Lol April was a quite month no sales at major marketplaces. Accept a few namepros sales as i already built a strong network of domain investor friends there. So i sold a bulk portfolio of 10 BP(Brandpa) accepted name for $250 mind you this was when Brandpa names was in demand not anymore and another bulk of 10 Brandbucket accepted names for $200

April Verdict :

Really a slow month but i still managed to make a turn over to steady the ship. And liquidated roughly 25 names at namepros for $500 in total.

Net proceed for April : $500

May :

May was blank inside and out as i reduced my activity in Domaining to focus on other issues of life majorly on a program i was working on. Though i manage to have one sale at Dan for a geo name i almost forgot exist in my portfolio.

Net proceed for May : $150

June :

Suitefy dot com $799

Verdict for June

Well a few disappointments but it was all good the sales made up for the loss.

Net proceed for June : $1150




July

3 sales in July.
July hit me with 2 major sales in brandable marketplaces and a sale at afternic


Kanibi dot com $1700 (Brandpa)

SavvyCBD dot com $1799 (Squadhelp)

Advviser dot com $300 (Afternic)


July Verdict
July became the strongest month for me in net profit as i also sold names at namepros too, to domain name investors.

Net proceed for July $4200


August

August was fairly good month too and strong month from afternic at i sold 4 names there and a further 2 names sold at Dan.

Exolytics dot com $350
CbdsupplyUSA dot com $305
HealthViser dot com $795
CBDpura dot com $400
Remedycleaning dot com $50
Gracefinancialservices dot com $350



August Verdict :

In one word "Strong August".

Net proceed for August $2250



September

September was pretty good as August with one major brandable marketplace sale at squadhelp and 2 afternic sales

Apexster dot com $1799 (Squadhelp)
RipeCoin dot com $350 (Afternic)
NeuroArmor dot com $300

September verdict :
September was nice as August

Net proceed for August : $2450


October :

October was fairly quite at afternic though i managed to have a sale there. And a couple of low sales at epik as i was trying out there bargain marketplace

NexaCBD dot com $1400 (Afternic)
ChimpHero dot com $79 (Epik)
CBDtraffic dot com $79 (Epik)
FuturePays dot com $79 (Epik)

October Verdict :
Well October surprised me with surprise sales. But it was all good as a learnt a few things like tasting epik out and then pointing more names there although I've not heard from epik again after then. But a few offers and nothing more.

Net proceed for October : $1670


November :

2 sales in November at afternic

KeepSwift dot com $350
Blockvera dot com $495


November verdict : Fairly good month.

Net proceed for November : $845

December

Ongoing though 2 sales so far at afternic

Drcanna dot Co $295

Kreditwallet dot com $150 (well i don't like typos or mispelt names and was surprised this name sold. With my wealth of knowledge in this niche i will pass on this name if i have the chance to register it today. Creditwallet is definitely a better name)

December Verdict : slow month and not what i expected as resulting to my portfolio growth so far in the last quarter of the year. But generally all good as some couple of sales happened regardless.

Net so far in December : $450


Conclusion :

In conclusion i had in total of 37 major marketplace sale from a portfolio that started the year with 300 names that roughly more than 10% sales through rate and judging from a sales point of view the sale ratio is impressive considering all the sales are mostly from passive sales (inbound) and i had little work to do as to how to sale the names but much work to do as to how and what name to buy/register.

Fact stat : Afternic was the strongest sales venue for me racking up close to 90% of my portfolio sales.

Hence
Total names sold : 37 name
Total Net proceed : $17,335
Net profit after commission deduction : $13,000
Investment amount : Roughly $1000 (Due to netsol promo)
Further Investment was made after sales. To close up for names dropped and renewals plus acquiring new names.

Current portfolio size : 525 names

Squadhelp portfolio currently : 105 names ( 5 of those belongs to squadhelp while the other 100 are owned by me)
Brandpa portfolio size currently : 30 names
Brandbucket portfolio currently : 7 names

Although I'm looking to build a Brandbucket portfolio again but that will be pretty hard considering their length of review time. I currently have names there submitting for review for 4 weeks and counting.
Brandpa has not lived up to the hype although i managed to renew a few names there to give them another year and see what happens.

What i have learnt this year :

Making better decisions while registering or buying names. Instead of registering shopavio dot com or shopically dot com for cheap I'd rather got for shopsy dot com and pay more. In Domaining the more Quailty your names the better. I learnt this the hard way and I'm now gradually making better judgment in what i add to my portfolio and what to evict.

Renewal times gives you a better idea of whether you have good names or not. Don't ask me how it's better you experience it yourself and learn.

I still sucks at pricing names and still have alot to learn in negotiating and closing a deal. Although I'm learning gradually.

Namepros is still a great place to start as a newbie. Nairaland also a vital tool to hear and pick invaluable experience from fellow countrymen.

Lastly with God all things are possible.


I hope you learnt a thing or two from my experience.

2020 will be great for Everyone.

Peace

horlamilekan23:
Thanks for your insight bro.
May I ask how to verify my names on Afternic

ikhalyfah:
First of all, I want to show appreciation for this wonderful write up, indeed only a few will take their time to provide this information.

I've always been a fan of ur post, thou u are not a regular 'poster', but whenever u make one its very educative and beneficial.


If i have any question it will be,
1.What is the AVERAGE hold time for the whole sale u made in 2019?

2. % of outbound sales?

3. % of non handreg

4. Any special method of selling to investors? And do u only sale names on NP u don't feel like renewing or u sale anytime u feel like doing so?


I hope u won't mind addressing the questions.

Congratulations! And more sales to us all!

Josmila:
Sign up on Luno and download the app. You may also use the web version. Go to "wallets once you're done with the registration and verification and create a BTC wallet, you may also give the wallet a name as requested. Copy the the BTC address (always alpha-numeric) and send to DAN in the chat box telling them you prefer BTC payment.

Once you're paid, you're receive a mail from Luno and also when you click on wallets, you'll see 0 of 3 confirmations, this means it will take 3 block confirmations for the BTC to land in your wallet. After three block confirmations, you have the BTC in your wallet.

To sell, if you're using the app, all you need do is click on the home key, swipe left and the markets will display. Click on the plus sign(see pic attached), then "sell", it will display what you see in the 2nd pic. Click on figures in blue, it will input in that box the amount of BTC you intend to sell and the prevailing market price will be automatically imputed. At the market price, the sale will be immediate once you click place sell order.

Once sale is complete, return to your wallet and click on your naira account (see pic) and proceed your hard-earned money to withdraw to the bank account you've imputed already. Once you approve it, payment will hit your account before you know it

All of these shouldn't take you more than 2 minutes sha. Once you've mastered it, it's just a minute something.


It's not so difficult, but you may DM him if you choose to

beckplanet:
Alright thanks for your kind words.
First off aside from registering brandable names. Selling them is also hard. Not easy truly

RESHARPENED:
Merry Christmas! May this Yuletide season bring us all more fulfillment, fruitfulness... And of course, more sales!

Some name ideas from my SquadHelp rejected list:

ewuoso2002:
Hello sir, sorry to bother u, if SH rejected them, why are u posting them here. Are u posting them for anyone interested to go buy them or what. and if anyone buys them and since SH already rejected them what will they do with it
I am trying to learn ni, don't be offended sir

Simpsonrocket:
Im sure of GoDaddy, dynadot, maybe namesilo. My 123-reg Domain was rejected a couple of time but was approved after the transfer lock was over.

2sexycom:
It is still same thing. I am guessing you are asking for freelance purpose.

cyriletifit:
God bless you @beckplanet for that wonderful information and your time here. I must confess I have been enjoying your post. So much information and free education.

I pray God should bless all of us with continuous sales.

beckplanet:
Lol, Read carefully boss statement is a future tense with will (i.e I'll) in it. Meaning I'm working to put things together.

Don't worry I'll drop it when it's ready. On the next post

Peace

iCauseTrouble:
Beckplanet, thanks for the wonderful analysis of your portfolio and sales. That's quite motivating and inspiring.
My question for you is what is your BIN pricing like especially for your domains on Afternic

ikhalyfah:
Ask opens account with them (123reg), or he waits 60days for auth code

Teekzel:
What will be the next option if a buyer want to buy a domain listed on Dan and its still under 60days lock with 123reg. Bosses in the house what should I do?
