Parzival001:
the highest price for a geo Domain there is 350

Jeez! More chills! Let me move to a corner then for the OGs to interfere. Sure your mails are not going straight to Spam? Hope you include price in your Outbound? Let's wait for the elders.

Parzival001:
These are my own names, I don outbound tire.
Please I need your advice

Wow! Many good names. What the hell! I'm more scared now. Lol. Maybe your price is another problem.

ElonMosque:
fake offer bawo. once you get an offer FOR THE LISTED NAMES from your fellow nigerian, reject and ignore. simple. share your names and get help ooo.

Exactly. If I stay that long with such number of names I wouldn't care about the fake offers.

Parzival001:
I have 21 names and I've not sold in the same number of months, I've just always been close but no sale :

That's hard. You guys are scaring me. Could you do what ElonMosque and co are advising. You stand to lose nothing.

collinsuchendu:
Oh okay. I sent you a mail.

Replied.

collinsuchendu:
Thanks a lot.

You also carry 2k with you. National ID or Voters Card or others.

Oluwasanya1:
This domain is available on ED but it's still point to dan although it's showing that it has been deleted.
It is still listed at GoDaddy as premium domain.



I think a Domainer has owned it B4 but y is it still pointing to dan when it has been deleted??

Contact Dan. I had same issue with one of my names on Dan with an entirely different price and I did that.

collinsuchendu:
Please do I need utility bill to collect UBA Africard?



Waiting for your swift response.

Yes.

zanebaddo:
if I post them here i might start getting fake offers

You can do a screenshot or make it hard to copy and paste.

If you ask me this is like a free appraisal he wants to help you with and I know the feeling when you don't want people to demoralise you with their remarks.

But for me, posting the names will go a long way to help for future purchase. If I don't sell for that number of months with 25 names I will surely ask for one.

Aconomist:
Here is one in Ivory Coast. Call these buildings strange, but they make me proud to be an African -- unlike the lifeless nonsense we are copying from the West.

It is not nonsense except you mean the trashy ones we build. There are more traditional buildings in the west than in Africa. Except by the west you mean USA.

Gayatri:
This is difficult but i will.... Sir.... Thank You... Its hard but I will

Lol. You won't. He'd just say one or two words that sound sweet and your guards go down. Maybe experience will do the job.

Gayatri:
I do not need to say but my photo will...

Remove your photo. Not necessary.

The truth is, if someone wants to be in your life they will make deliberate efforts to be in your life. Do you really want someone who can't make decisions that are good for them?

Get the guy all you like, convince him the girl is not good for him but I promise you whatever thing that happens will always be met by the intrusion of that ex. You don't want foundational problems.

Some of the worst and kindest set of people not to date are the confused people. Dude is confused. At this point I don't think you can teach him what you intend to but because you are in love you can't see it.

And by way, you must not date everyone you love. Some times you have to realise that love is not enough. You don't want to start a relationship with cracks in the foundation.

Leave him for his own good. Let him learn. Sometimes experience is the better teacher. Your words can only touch him temporarily but experience will shape him permanently. But will you do that? Of course not. You are in love.

U1:
Yeah, but do you?

Not yet but if I chat with you for days and eventually you paid for the name I believe we've established enough connection for courtesy to not be misconstrued. And besides, after selling, such misconception is no longer a strategy. I will do it without blinking.

Wyry:
Nigerian girls are useless.

This is becoming a nuisance. Seun, Mynd44, please we don't elements like these here. Let's sanitize Nairaland.

richkal:
Hey yahh bro you need to take heart and be strong. That is the reality of this business.

The easiest thing that might come to your heart is to quit and conclude that its not working.

If I am not going mince words, I advice you to keep push, I believe your sales is around the corner. (This is not motivational talk, One of my students experienced the same)

Also, I will urge you to do follow up on those domain names, assume they are all GEO's, who knows you might make sales.

More so, you can post some of your domain names so the veterans can advise you properly.

P.s: A person like this guy will understand DEEPLY the meaning of GOD's GRACE in this business.

I will also like to see the names too. Zanebaddo, can we see?

U1:
Does anyone here thank buyers or wish them well after a sale?

I haven't been doing that and I felt it's not right. Just reluctant that they might misconstrue it if I did.

Lol. You have nothing to lose. Gratitude and courtesy, where necessary, is always good.

riqmarol:
Good evening Bosses

Pls how do I reply this end-user, specifically about the question part of how to continue in years to come.

Swift replies will be appreciated pls.

I think he's asking for renewal fees. You simply tell him what he'd be paying per year to renew the name. $8.9 for most.

ElonMosque:
If you're using google maps port to bing or use reoon YP scraper($15) to get leads... OR vice versa!

Reoon YP Scraper? This man.

zanebaddo:

chai

frustration wan kill me ooo

What sort of names did you buy? Geo? Brandables? Or?

flexyndavis:
please am totally a baby in these domain business,some one should take me as a child and bless me ,even if any online business is Available,ASUU is treating me bad

Bless you with what? Knowledge, money, both or something else?

Isn't that too expensive for an SD 665?

RenaissanceGuy:
Who can help?

And how are you even sure this American bank account will not charge you? As long as it is Payoneer I believe you can withdraw money to any bank account recognised by their system.

You should rather try to find out how negligible what your American account charges is in comparison to your Nigerian account.

The way Payoneer makes money, I suspect, is by charging a transaction fee just like PayPal. The 26 dollars may not be entirely the fault of the Nigerian banks.

nwosue67:
No but I just thought that a cheap expired domain on ED that has been available for more than 5 days might have some issues that is why nobody have picked it up. But how do I check if it is banned??

I think with Google search console. You have login though. But that's not usually a concern as Google hardly do that. BUT when you don't own the name yet I don't see how that console search or login will go.

You can just type the name with the dot-com on Google search. If it's not there(at least with broken links) it is because (1) it was not indexed by the former owner (2) It is a new hang reg name yet to be crawled or used to build a site or (3) Google has hit it (4) not hosted anywhere. This method won't help much though.

But this shouldn't be your main concern.

nwosue67:
Please can someone reply me on this please

6 days ago? It doesn't matter. That is nothing. What you should concern yourself about is the quality of the name and if you want to go further, you can also if it is banned by Google. But why are you concerned about that? Any story or myth you heard?

U1:
Yeah, you have a point. I usually leave several days before the first follow up as well. I don't like pestering people "unnecessarily."

Talking about reminders, could you give examples of what you type in each message or do you just repeat the same message each time?

No, I don't type the same message. It depends on what the person said.

For example one of them told me he's waiting for his IT person to come do the transaction but after waiting for days I reminded him what he told me and asked if everything was okay and if he is still interested and he said yes. Whatever he says next will guide my next comment but if he remains quiet I will mail him telling him I'm still waiting for his response and I'm ready to help or guide him if he still wants the domain.

thorrvik55:
To him, it's Grace.. To u it might be luck or whatever u like to call it

But objectively speaking, is it? How many VIP domainers worldwide have this grace?

U1:
I need the help of people who have followed leads for several times (3+) before making some sales. I'm a bit lost for what to do here.

I currently have three people that have expressed interest in what I offered them in the past 1-2 weeks. But they're not taking the action I expected.

- One said he'd tell the IT guy and finance to proceed last week. Followed up and still waiting.

- Another said he'd buy, but didn't do anything after being sent instructions on how to proceed. Followed up and no response.

- The third asked how to proceed; I responded and followed up. No action.

I was wondering if someone that followed up several times before a sale can please help with the series of emails they sent (what each was about). I'm confused at this point. Thanks in anticipation.

I'm actually at the same spot now. My trick is, remind them after every 3-7 days until they say No. If I were in their shoes any attempt at bombardment will be seen as desperation and any attempt at desperation is an opportunity to either buy it low or conclude the domain is trash you want to throw out.

ollybode:
"Depend on your pocket," I think that's a valid point from @promxy94. We should all bear in mind that not all inquiries or offers lead to sale. So, the issue of whether to or not to counter an offer is situational, just like @promyxy94 put it.

Permit me to say this, there is element of grace in domain business. Whether we like or not, I know some people may not agree with my school of thought while some will

What sort of grace? Spiritual grace or just luck?

But on a honest note, besides the two penalties was Ronaldo really in this game? Were you really impressed by his play aside the penalty conversions?

MrJoker:
No, they think that Nigerians are scammers so I pretend that I'm American

I understand. That's not fair though but they can't make me get a foreign number or face.

MrJoker:
I laugh in adjective. Without the USA number, all of them will remove their dp after seeing your message

But why not avoid the messaging instead of hiding your true identity? Doesn't it make you feel like you are doing something wrong?
