WION news is starting to show signs of bias, airing baseless opinions instead of the full news, alas true journalism is dead

Not yet to me though. The opinions are balanced from what I'm still seeing.

For how much?

Watching RT makes me laugh. Most media exist for propaganda purposes but RT try to act as though they are different. It's laughable and almost like the hypocrisy of Fox News or Press TV.

Among the popular big boys, Al-Jazeera and TRT World seem to have a pretension of objectivity. In matters concerning Qatar and Turkey, respectively, that objectivity dies. Smh.

Still watching India's WION News (Gravitas Plus) to see how far they are willing to go. France24 is more objective than most. DW too is good but with more documentaries than news. RT is just an upgraded version of CNN.

It's good to watch them all and understand how and where they stand. RT is fun to watch. Their message: Russia is a saint and America is the devil, when it's obvious they are all hierarchies of evil.

Is it ideal to register a geo domain without previous history? Ever since I registered oakland/solar/energy/king, I have been outbounding yet to no avail. Most of the replies came through Facebook. It's either im not interested or not interested for now. Could it be because the name has no history. I didn't pick the name from ED.

Oakland is becoming a problem. Even with history, it seems that city is not worth it.

iCauseTrouble:
Having a job or other source of income is very important when investing in niches other than GEOs. I will always advice people with little funds and more time to start with GEOs while honing their skills in brandables or any other niche they are interested. You are almost guaranteed to break even with GEOs than Brandables if on a tight budget. Ikhalyfah and other GEOs experts have reported a STR of over 10% but such can't be said of brandable domains.

Yeah. It's more frustrating when one uses their little cash to invest in Geo, then go through the stress of sourcing for leads and outbounding, and still, end up with no sale. It breaks faster and it has made many leave domaining. That's why one without cash or a job should not just do any handreg because it worked for others. It's a gamble.

Guess everyone has a different thing that works for them... I check some I try to hand reg on ed first and notice they have been expired since 2020 or soemthing.....but I avoid handregging for now unless na better brandable name

Even a newbie has what works for him or her? Somebody with a pretension of knowledge has what works for them. That's gold. Good luck to newbies towing that path.

Lmao sapio

It's a choice though. I've sold three handreg since the new year but I'm not a newbie. I know why I regged them. A newbie doesn't. Even when I sold my second handreg as a newbie I was making an unnecessary gamble. It was plain dumb and I regged over ten after which didn't sell. Even today, I still handreg with standard metrics in sight but still nothing sold. But maybe it's a game of luck and 'what didn't work for me' will work for a newbie.

CornOak:
There's absolutely nothing wrong with handregging GEO or EMD domain names. What works for you might not work for others.

I know for a fact that a good percentage of domainers on this thread are cashing out big with handregged domains.

What you should point out is the quality of keywords, number of endusers, and the sellability of the names in general. Even with the overloaded metrics, many ED domains are still languishing in people's portfolios.

The bottom line is, do what works for you and let others do the same.

Cheers.

Stop handregging if you are a newbie. I did it and it worked but it was a silly risk.

Spiritualizt:
both

Stop handregging. Stop handregging. Stop handregging. Especially if you are a newbie or have no experience. Stop it. If you must handreg let it be for a brandable but that's if you know what a brandable is. And if you must pick from ED, let your ABY max be 2020. Stop handregging of any kind.

Hi guys, over the past few weeks, I have received several DMs from people here, asking me to teach them GEO domaining, how I get my leads, what time I send my mails, what type of mail I use and so on.
Let me state it here again for the umpteenth time that I don't do GEOs. Infact, the last time I bought a GEO domain was December 2019 and the last time I did outbound was early 2020. I failed woefully while I was still dealing with GEO domains and I didn't make up to 10 sales. This made me switch to brandables coupled with the fact that I have a 9 - 5 job.
All the sales I have reported from mid 2020 till now are all inbound. So please, don't come to my DM to ask me any GEO related question.
For brandables, we can always relate and reason together but I must say this, you need just 3 things to succeed in the niche as with any other business.
1. Knowledge: Till today, I visit this domaining thread and Namepros more than 5 times everyday just to update myself. Then I visit other blogs like DNGeek, Abdulbasit, brandableinsider once a while. Also, I follow some top domainers on twitter and I set alert for there posts.
2. Patience: I have sold 8 domains so far this year and 7 out of the domains are over a year. If I have dropped them when they expired, obviously, I won't have made those sales. Yes, you can't renew all your names but know your names very well and know the ones that are worth keeping even if it takes time to sell
3. Consistency: Ever since I started domaining, there has never been a day that I have not been involved in domaining activities. It's either I am buying domains, listing at marketplaces, editing prices, renewing, changing nameservers, or even reading domaining blogs and forums. Some people will say they started domaining and took 6 or 9 months break, things don't work like that even in normal business world.
Let me end on this note, success in domaining happens over time and not overnight. Just make sure you are doing the right thing and continue doing it even if it takes time for you to get result.
Thanks

This is good for those who cannot keep up with Geo and EMDs. Outbounding is stressful but pays. Having a job makes domaining easier.

Spiritualizt:
I tell you, I think the cause must have been not getting more quality names due to financial limitations, my portfolio size was also shrinking from 26 to about 12, I allowed many to drop because of the possibilities of not getting sales.

Hope it's ED over handreg?

chinaPay:
RaxBet/com
KadBet/com

house pls place a good price on these names

What is Rax or Kad? Do these companies already exist?

KingEverest:
guess only time will tell

Yeah. Let's see how it goes. I don't see how the endgame will help them though.

KingEverest:
Don't Putin and his war mongers this is not a mission to free ukraine but to occupy it so it doesn't matter if the remaining Ukrainians accept the new government or not, but Russia will gain from Ukraines mineral deposits

Are these minerals worth the loss that are already coming in financially and on the long run?

Let's leave out the conditions that led to the war or the current state of things. This is not about who is winning or losing or any sort of propaganda. Just a little dig into the philosophy and mind of Putin.

Let's say Russia wins, and by winning, I mean, they overrun the Ukrainian military and take over the country, what then? How will the new country operate in a war that favours Russia?

Considering that most Ukrainians seem to be for their country in this war, considering that they all seem united, what exactly is Putin's game plan? Install a new President? How can that work?

Say a new president is installed, how does he function effectively or even survive the hate that will arise from Ukrainians who'd accuse him of trachery? Is the goal to destroy Ukraine or to take it?

If it is destroyed, what then is the gain knowing that the sanctions will not be lifted? If held and a loyalist installed, sanctions too will not be lifted and the likelihood of implosion by the new government high.

Will Ukrainians forget the deaths and destruction and just move on, remaining loyal to a new Pro-Russian government? Will Russians be moved to the destroyed land to start a new civilization? What exactly is Putin's end game? How does one make sense of his Endgame?

snillocer:
Pls someone should help me beg maziztonene to say something

You don't have to beg him. This thread will vindicate everyone.

Crazeworld:
I don't think mazi meant to call snillocer a scammer. That is a strong word. I think the best term should be someone who is economical with the truth. Myself and Mazi chatted on Whatsapp which revealed some things. There is no point dropping details but I will advise you to be honest when seeking for help. There is no point spinning up 'issues' just to gain sympathy.

There is a point dropping details. If you accuse someone of scam, you should explain. If he's been economical with the truth, let him come here and say it. If you can accuse someone in the open, you can't turn around and say there's no point explaining. There is. And we are waiting his explanation.

snillocer:
Good. But he's not saying anything ATM. And I see him viewing the thread.

I just said everything up there bro, Pls go through it again. I'm annoyed maziztonene is not saying anything again instead he's just viewing

He will eventually say something. You don't call someone a scammer on social media and go quiet.

Snillocer, there's nothing to approve or disprove. I don't think that's the bone of contention. You've been good so far but it doesn't guarantee anything. Let him table the issue let's analyse it. Or you can make the way by telling us your version of things.

mazizitonene:
Hello fam, Due to some events, we've come to realise this young man is either a cheap fraudster/scammer, or a very unfortunate fellow. upon further consultations and investigations, we've concluded that he's indeed a thief!! nobody should send him any money out of pity, incase he's in your inbox or DM. He's a cheap scammer. You've been warned.



Also, for the records, snillocer and catastrophic are one and the same unfortunate fellow using the account First Bank: 3101539639 Collins Uchendu and union bank 0038514907 uchendu onyi Col

Let us all thread tread carefully.....tankioo

What exactly happened? Give us full gist so we can thread carefully or know what to do with it. Thank you.

TRUEBLOOD59:

You can continue sniffing on your said cruise

Thank you!

I don't think you understand what you did to yourself and the Nigerian domain community. You don't. No remorse. Just defiance. No remorse.

snillocer:
You just made it more complicated. Pls kindly take out your time and explain, bro.

If na newbie I for explain. I dey vex.

snillocer:
Kindly elaborate please, I don't seem to comprehend.

I rather have 3, not 6, against 20. I would have loved to explain but you know...

Gpexchange:

Good for you. I think it's the RD that did the magic. I rather have 3 RDT in different extensions than 6 in dot com.

Jimneighbour:
