BOOKWORMLUX:
In a case where buyer is insisting on $70 , but Dan's minimum price is $100

Can I still use the import lead?

PS: willing to sell if he'll make it $100 and use Dan

You can import it as a lead and not as a transaction giving room for further negotiation. Some persons change the nameservers to Epik and sell at $70. Though, for me, I'm not willing to go less than 100.

These are your options.

1. Try to convince and tell him the minimum accepted amount in the marketplace is 100. Explain to him that the market can not sell below that price. And I believe if someone is willing to pay $70, there is a higher probability that reason can make them add an extra 30.

2. Ask him if he's comfortable with Epik and finish it off there if he disagrees with the first option.

But if I were in your shoes I will only be desperate to push him to Epik if the domain is about to expire and I have no intentions of renewal or if it's a poorly thought name. Aside that, I will focus on him paying the minimum on Dan.

Babalakin:
how do we import leads?

First you have to be in a discussion with the person. You must be in negotiation or already done. That's all I can say for now.

3months sales drought ended. Thank God

Na you allow message long. You for don import lead since and story no go long. I already said congrats

Rankett:
How much is the too much? Is there an approximate amount? Thanks

I know dynadot doesn't have a limit unless the maximum deleted domains have reached a fixed percentage. But their $3 domain fee na die.

Can't remember. That was in 2020 or early 2021. I must have deleted about 10 in one month. They do give a refund that's almost the same amount you paid to get the fees.

Mrblaze06:
I thought there are restrictions on deleting a lot of names on a particular registrar.

Yeah. They paused me from deleting after I deleted too much.

Babalakin:
why would u delete it, and not let it expire? Just curious.

Mistakes in spelling. E.g registering a name with the inclusion of centre instead of center considering the fact that your end users do not follow British English. Or you found out there are no endusers or you found out it's just plain shit.

Mrblaze06:
This is caused by people who backordered a name on sav and was unable to pay so they delete the name hence why the name show back on expired domains.
This is in sav case I don't know about other ones.

You can also delete a name you registered. I remember deleting so much on Namesilo that I exhausted my quota.

Floyd45:
Na manual scrapping o. I took my time to source the leads from FB, Linkledn, and their website.I even personalised each mail when I was outbounding.

There is something about that niche and my mails not hitting their inbox. I can't seem to figure it out yet. I never have this issue with other niches.

Chai. Maybe lawyers don do meeting for you be that.

dayo2hot:
Just did that now. This buyers wahala too much ooo. Na since yesterday we dey on this ooo

Seriously? Ha! Na risk be that o. Some buyers you have to explain to them how the import lead thing works but where it is them asking for it or a contract agreement, you are in luck. Congrats on the sale to come.

dayo2hot:
Oh thanks bro.

Better do that before he changes his mind. Lol. Once anyone asks ​for the agreement or something like that, that's what you send them.

dayo2hot:
Afternoon all, please how can I reply this from the end-user.

"I need to see the contract for the sale and transfer which contains all terms."

He agreed to buy the domain but he sent this again. What does it mean?

Pls u get answer to this? Gpexchange

Import the transaction, bro. That's the contract agreement but tell him how it goes before you do that.

Floyd45:
Thanks chief. When I sell this one, na bye bye to law niches until I find out why my emails don't enter their inbox. Lol

Lol. Maybe you are sending to groups that make it difficult for you to reach them without setting up an SPF or DMARC records. I do edit my mails after scrapping and remove mails that are pointless. Sometimes I even visit the sites by looking at their mail addresses just to be sure they fall into the city and service I scrapped for.

Floyd45:
Same bro. I avoided them for a long time. But this particular niche, I did not want to pass it. Plus it is already indexed on Google.

For me, it's not been bad though. I've sold all law names I've had except four. One, because of my stupidity of rejecting the offer. Two, because I was stupid enough to think Toronto uses the word Attorney, third one was a dot net extension with high traffic, and last one was a wrongly arranged handreg.

They are not really bad. Use Everything. Let's extract. Manual search. Yellow Pages (though I hate it for its many confusions), Facebook, etc.

Shame on every member of this body called ASUU, overtime I used to think the government is at fault all the time and that they were fighting for our educational system but have come to realize that they are just selfish and self centered..
Make una get out

You still have no idea what's happening.

In importing lead, what do you put as phone number when you don't have it?

Rwshd:
You're welcome, sir.

By greed, I mean that aspiring geo-domainers should focus on making small sales, building confidence, and stepping it up g.r.a.d.u.a.l.l.y. It takes time, and that's one thing I've learnt from the OP of this thread (I'm yet to enroll for his private class though).

I was unrealistic with my pricing when I started out late last year, but after recording no sales for over 4 months, I had to start from page 1 ! From there, I learnt that sometimes, it's better to leave some money (or most of the money sef) on the table than to leave all of the money on the table. Or in one member's words, low sale is better than no sale.

My portfolio comprises fewer than 30 domains, most of which are just "hasty crap". But I'm happy I'm learning.

Very underrated advise. I learnt that late. First year of domaining, mistakes are allowed and into second, but by the end of second it should warrant capital punishment. Sometimes one needs a sale to make sales. A $100 will buy you ten names with which you can try again.

And one of the best advice one can get is to stick with niches and cities that pay. There are cities too, like Mesa, Richmond and San Juan, I will never touch again even though I sold a name or two in them. There are niches too, like Podiatrist, Barbershop, Tanning Salon, SEO, I won't touch even though I sold names there.

If a newbie can find the right balance. Niches that currently sell, cities that buy. Especially when they are working with very limited resources. Every month I try to experiment with at least one new niche to see how it goes. If they must buy a not-too-great city+/niche, then they must make sure it has great SEO metrics. Real Estate as a niche never fades.

HIScraziness:
And you refused to pay me my tithe, the gods dey watch u and ur ways.. and it was such a sweet and fast sale, more of that abeg.

Lolol. Even the Gods know say things hard.

Promxy94:
I now understand why most people don't care to report sales.


The business is more than a competition now.

It's not really the competition that's my problem. I don't mind competition. It's more of the influx of some people who don't want to really learn, the influx of inferior and terrible names and outbounding them. I don't feel comfortable when I have AustinLawyer and the person with LawyerTxAustin is outbounding same name to enendusers.

I truly feel that in my heart, any domainer who really understands this business will consider so many things before regging and that will include making sure the endusers are not spammed to death. If they tire, geo domaining will suffer. Please guys check variants on Dan before regging. Let's help ourselves.

HIScraziness:
True tho. Anyways this is why most of my sales will stay on whatsapp

Lol. You know if not for our chat I'd have deleted that backorder. Something about it felt wrong. Thank God I didn't wait a month before outbounding lol. Outbounding names like that makes me feel dirty lol.

Promxy94:
And is seriously affecting, i think we have reached the peak of domaining for geo names.

Demand is low, and spam messages are high, responses are even low now.


That's why many would not want to report sales again.

You have a point. Someone reported a solar sale here about some days, I already backordered a better variant before he reported that. I wanted to cancel but just took the risk because it's a better variant and I already backordered before he reported it. My conscience was clear. Two days after the name dropped, I sold it. Same day, there's another variant on Dan. But the person doesn't understand how the niche and its endusers operate or think.

The solution for me is to stick with the best variant. And this may sound selfish and unpopular, I don't think merely reporting sales help newbies. It may help a pro but not a newbie. E.g you can check the number of MortgageIT names on Dan after the last report. You'd be shocked to see a newbie buying about 10 hoping for sale and getting their heart broken even though this is not my wish.

Zigla:
do they pay in crypto?

No. Could. Lol. I'm just doing some sieving.

SquadHelp standard listing could be another option.

Rankett:
I've been even thinking of how I will port to Epik.

But none of them can be compared to Dan.

If they ruin it that would be the closest option.

Some interesting conversation about the takeover on Twitter.

jamih:
Omo.. that's true o
How will they handle sales that happen within days of reg. So many accounts will be blocked ? and many refunds to customer.
--How will they handle imported leads ?
-+ How will they handle domain at other registrar apart from gd ?
-- crypto payouts
-- hope they won't bring their $26 fee
Dan is flexible, but GD is not. Hope they retain DAN innovative plans

If it's partnership then it may be safe but it doesn't seem like it.

YoobaNesan:
Exactly, with their shitty service.
It's high time either of Efty, Sedo, Epik has to step up their game, because the oppression will be too much frim GD.

Dan released a tweet about an hour ago saying it's the same team that will be in charge and that we should expect accelerated 24/7 sales. Let's see how it goes. I'm getting prepared for the worst as I won't let an archaic monopolistic monster reduce my speed.

YoobaNesan:
If it's acquisition and not partnership, I tell you it's a sad day for domainers.
GoDaddy will level the 20% as their standard commission.
No more competition for them.

The 20 percent won't be a problem if they will not ruin the model. Just imagine GoDaddy receiving a push for a name less than 60 days and even paying you same day. In what parallel universe? They will ruin it. The commission won't matter too much to me. They will ruin everything. From lead imports, to seeing the number of views, to seeing recently viewed, to fast customer support, to crypto payment. Those guys are archaic and still in 2000.

YoobaNesan:
What a very sad news for the domain industry.
I confidently hate GoDaddy, too greedy and arrogant.
I opted for the auction plan and they couldn't set my payee account, I just wasted the money.
Expect more shit in coming days...

GoDaddy is beyond control. Except they'd be smart enough to use Dan to compete with Sedo in Europe.

Just had a chat with Epik and it's not like what I expected. Though I was told they have holding accounts with these registrars but that will only happen using their escrow service:

Dynadot
GoDaddy
NameBright
N a m e c h e a p
NameSilo
Porkbun.

Crazeworld:
How did you arrive at this conclusion?

Frustration will set in. I trust GD to ruin it.

golamike:
Says who? Epik has holding accounts with major registrars. And regarding quick payment, epik currently beats other marketplaces. I received payments for all my recent sales on epik the same day the names sold. Some in a very few hours.

Wow! For real? That's good. That's means there's nothing to worry about.

Zigla:
too bad! I hate GoDaddy.

Watch the customer service turn to shit. If only they can increase commission and retain all the other features.

Fixitnow:
Epik still dey for us

But Epik doesn't have holding account with registras na. That quick payout is a huge incentive.
