U1:
I woke this morning to a notification of a $349 sale from Dan. I was like, "Thank God o." Somehow, CornOak got to know about the sale before me.

The name is in my signature. It was the same one I reported someone offering $20 for in the post quoted below yesterday.

I feel more motivated with this sale I no go lie.

For people like me who felt like giving up at one point or another, I wish you even bigger sales. We sef go report 4-digit sale someday and move on from there in Jesus' name.

More sales to all of us.

Foreigners:
Please Brothers and Sisters,

Hey guys, does streak require VPN?

Their site doesn't go through, until I was doing something with VPN and I just decided to try again and it worked.

If I decide to off my VPN , I'm unable to access the site.

Hello guys, I have a name I recently registered..,.both the singular and plural word... example, car and cars.,..my question is;


Is it right for me to include the two names in a single sales letter? Or should I focus on one before the other?

Olakinsdotcom:
please should I go ahead to register this domain city+lawnservice/king the appraisal I got at estidot in not encouraging at all but I love the name... Moreover I thought someone reported sales of lawnservice recently but not sure though.

grandstar:
Just one for sure.

And if you want to add the other, it should be as a bonus.

klexycole:
Simply use email extractors like Hunter.io, Snoov, and some others.

There's a site that you can make 3$ by posting and commenting..it's free to join..quote with contact so I can guide you..

grandstar:
. Use godaddy appraisal.

klexycole:
Things you should note before registering a name, they include but not limited to:

1. Don't take Estibot value or appraisal seriously. It is okay to check the domain statistics, nothing more. If you go through the recent sales on this thread, you'd notice that 90% of them were valued at less than $100.

2. Don't register a domain name because you "love it." Reality will smile at you when you're unable to make a sale. Follow the due procedures and assess the usability of the name before paying for it.

3. Check the city's population as this might be a determinant factor in picking up a name. A population of 100,000 and above is considered okay.

4. Check the sales of related or similar name on Namebio/king or DomainIndex/king (also serves as an appraisal tool) or even this thread.

5. Go to Archive.org (wayback machine) to ascertain what the name was used for in the past. Some domains were used for spamming or porn sites. No end user wants that!

6. If the wayback machine's result returns positive, head over to Google and type the name in the search with quote ("". Remember to remove the .com in order to get optimal result.

Flip the search by removing the quote this time. Check the number of sites using the keywords in your domain. This would determine the number of end users available to you.

7. Go to Google Maps and type in the domain name without the .com. Count the number of businesses offering similar service and note them down.

8. Visit Facebook and type the same keyword(s) to get prospects.

9. Merge the number of the Google search result, Facebook result, as well as the Google Maps result to get your total end-users.

10. Manually or automatically harvest the end users' emails and start pitching them.


Ignore all errors, my eyes are semi-closed while typing this. Can't proofread.

Read more, research extensively, and pick up valuable names. Ultimately, put God first and seek his blessings.

I wish you good luck in this domain business.
Good morning.

iykepromotions:
the stats are quite different that's why it's important to research more beyond one source and tools. apart from domain appraisal which is automated, estibot analysis is more accurate in some areas like CPC and search volume.

OYENIYIJK:
ok sir
justdropped .com used to send me weekly domain list. if I click on the said domain it will ask me to pay $69 but if if I type the same domain in GoDaddy .com they will ask me to pay something around $3000. why is it like that?

therealMcCain:
This na your question naim you be dey speak spanish.

1.The person running justdropped has a similar service to ED, he gets his names, registers them and offer them at reseller price from $69-$500.

2. They probably listed it on Godaddy, just like SH, a name is available on premuim marketplace for end user and wholesale market for domainers. So before someone will buy for $69, maybe an end user might pick it up from Godaddy

3.Buying from justdropped takes you to their paypal processing page so there is no escrow.

I havent bought from them, neither have i researched them, Due diligence should be performed before you buy from them. A good start is to search for justdropped reviews on namepros

haykay2005:
Strategy : I read like I want to write exam the next day. I crawl namepros like bots. I don't miss a single post/thread

haykay2005:

micynute94:

IdeasPro:
I'm always amazed when people ask for outbound marketing email template. The truth is that each domain has its features/benefits. Use the domain for sale benefits to market that specific domain. For example, if you've EMD (exact match domain) with 100,000 average monthly search volume and $5 CPC (cost per click), you can tell your potential buyers that it has:
1. high search volume and give numbers,
2. high CPC and give the highest,
3. EMD and let him/her knows that there is advantage of type-in traffic.

On another note, you know the reason why you registered to sell, tell your potential buyers what it is. But if you registered to make dollars and not to add value to your prospective buyer, you may hold that domain for too long.

Testimony time. Alert just entered. Jesus thank you!

3 word USA geo domain (real estate industry)

Bought at Netsol for $1 on Dec. 23 2018 and set BIN $2,300 on Undeveloped

Outbounded on 26th night to more than 20 end users (Facebook and direct email)

Woke up around 3am on Dec. 27th to see an offer of $1,500

I immediately countered $2,000

Buyer countered $1,500 again and said (Unfortunately that's as high as I can go. Thank you for the consideration.)

I come think am. Sleep no gree come again. I say weda to use delay tactics. My church mind tell me say I dey greedy. $1500!!!

I accept fasssssttttt!!!Dec 27th

The waiting game don start be that.

I took the liberty to search the buyer on Facebook. Saw her and noticed she is a very big realtor in that particular real estate subniche I targeted. (Meanwhile name was gotten from Expireddomains)

I added her as a friend and introduced myself. (Reason for this was to get her to know I am real ..... probably worked)

She was on vacation so communication was hell. But I kept communicating. Answering her many questions about her being skeptical about Undeveloped as a trustworthy company, transfer process, how she will get the domain etc.

This went on till Dec 31st when the buyer sent me a mail from Undeveloped that almost gave me heart attack LOL.

Undeveloped in their payment reminder to her spelt the domain name (the name of the city) wrongly TWICE in the same mail. Chai.

She said her trust don vanish that professionals cannot make such a mistake. Wahala. My brain went into overdrive.

I had to allay her fears by letting her understand that Undeveloped being a European country may sometimes get foreign names wrong. I agreed with her that it was unprofessional and that I will contact Undeveloped to correct the mistake.

She was happy.

I contacted Undeveloped and apologies were poured out with promises to rectify the issue.

I purposely didn't bombard buyer with mails so that she will not feel too pressured and back off, but I remember asking her when she intended to pay, cos with the landing page showing "Domain Sold", I may lose other prospects.

She totally understood my concerns and said she was on vacation and cannot do much until she gets back home. That if I want to back off from the deal she will understand...WHAAAATTT!!! Back off wetin!!! God forbid. I told her I will wait ooo.

Undeveloped sent second payment reminder to her on Jan 3.

Buyer assumed that she will pay extra VAT and started developing cold feet.

Those current with Namepros will remember the thread where Undeveloped explained thoroughly their VAT methods.

I smiled and explained the much I can to her that since she is from outside Europe, she won't have to pay any VAT. I also told her that I will tell Undeveloped to explain this to her. Undeveloped did and everyone was happy. LOL

Friday Jan 4th buyer paid. Praise God!

Undeveloped contacted me for domain transfer. Which I completed later in the day. But it was until Monday 7th that Undeveloped acknowledged it (they don't communicated weekends from my experience).

However, it was only on last Wednesday Jan. 9th that they sent the money ($1,365) to my dom account. They said ordinarily they ought to have sent it out within 1 business day from the time buyer paid, but because it was my first transaction, they had to make sure of certain things. They also rejected my request for Bitcoin payout because of the same reason. I can however request for Bitcoin payout from my second transaction.

Wire transfer takes 3-5 business days to hit your account.

Today is the 3rd day. Alert received around 1pm.

I had to write this long epistle not just our of joy, but to chronicle what it looks like dealing with Undeveloped.

Some sales may go smoother than mine, but this goes to show that if I never thought of searching this buyer on Facebook, probability of losing this sale would be high.

I registered 12 names with the $1 promo. Praying and hoping few more in same real estate subniche (sorry - won't reveal it for now) will sell.

As a newbie, and still learning. Try and target cities with population above 100,000

If you are searching your keyword on Google for endusers, if you see adverts appearing at the top of the serach engine results, that's a good sign that people want that keyword. So an enduser may like to have an EMD as his/her domain name.

Another tip. If you are setting your filters on Expireddomains, under Additional tab, at the bottom, tick the box that says Facebook Taken

It will show you domains that have Facebook Pages with the same names. For instance, if it lists lagosvetservices .com, it means you MAY see a Facebook Page with the handle @lagosvetservices

It doesn't always work but when it does, it is a plus. Just check if the FB Page is active. If the business has a website. Even if it has a website that goes by another/similar name, the business MAY want to own a name that matches their FB Page.

$1 promo give us a lot of room to lower our risks.

Meanwhile my alert says $1,345 instead of $1,365. I guess $20 has gone towards unexplained bank charges. Different story with different companies. When I sold some names on Namejet last year, I got the exact amount in my dom account.

Nothing spoil. To God be the Glory. More sales to us all!

PS: any typo? Pardon. Too happy to proofread. LOL.

donsheva:
The link to check if the page is taken on Facebook and Twitter does not work anymore, expired domains sent a message about that last week I think. They said they will soon remove it entirely. Congrats on your sale.@ Tranxo
