After two years of domaining. I have finally been able to hit my first sale. My story would interest you please read on.
I started in 2018, bought two names (kansasroofingcontractors) and (New Orleanstrucking) and started doing outbounds. I felt that they were good names so would sell on time. Alas, nothing of that sort was to happen.
Money has been the main issue for me I couldn't even participate that much in buying .coms during the netsol $1 promo. I bought a few names though but they all expired on me.
2019 saw me venture a bit into the brandable space of domaining. I had about three premiums on SH but they too like other of my names expired without an offer talk less of a sale.
You can now imagine how frustrated and disappointed I was at myself for not being able to get it right. Seeing people come to report sales after being just 1 month into the game was motivating and at the same time saddening to me.
But I thank God.
2020.
Well, frustration continued... I needed money, I needed money, I needed money. "Wetin man go do nau"? I thought. I then said to myself if I can't sell my own names, let me do outbound for others and see if I can get it right. And that's how I started doing percentage jobs. The sales I made from them weren't mine so I still didn't feel excited about them. I needed my own sales, so I started investing.
Little by little. Continued my outbound, no replies, went back to my drawing board, created new emails changed my sales letter, experimenting... then i saw improvements in responses, mind you I wasn't getting "yes" but at least I was getting responses albeit negative ones. In domaining that counts for something.
So brethren, I kept on praying and working. Just working because I knew that if I gave up my 2 years of trying would have been a waste.
On Fri 28th Aug, I did a fresh outbound for this particular name that sold. Did extensive search and got new end users I had somehow left out before. He replied with his offer and told me that we would have a deal if I accept it. It wasn't a bad offer so I did accept.
This deal took almost one week to finalize and at some point I felt I had lost it even as I had involved Rob of Epik (that man na yeye person btw).
Fri 3rd Sept. buyer paid and he received his domain, Hallelujah!
Domain Name: Mesa///Landscapers///com SV: Epik SP: $300 Negotiated from $499 (there was a time I listed it $150 but them nor buy, lol) Hold Time: 2-3months ED picked.
Special thanks to Iykepromotions for the thread, he continues to bless lots of lives daily. That in itself is greatness.
My warm appreciation to Promxy94 !! I love you man no doubt... this guy nearly closed a deal for me in 2018 when I just started but somehow it didn't work out. This guy motivate me nor be small
Warm appreciations to Channel5 this guy motivated me steadily,his kind words saw me through the ordeal.
thanks to Mazizitonene, ikhalyfah, AAA593.
Note To Newbies and Old Guys (O.G) alike
1. Always endeavor to be kind and encourage those who haven't made a breakthrough. 2. Don't ever give up! 3. In outbounding keep your mails as short as possible, the moment your mails are perceived as sale letters and are lengthy they get tossed in the trash. 4.Have Faith.
I'm only just getting started y'all!
Thanks for reading this boring piece and God bless you! More Sales!!!
Would you mind sharing the sales letter that gave you a better response rate.
bjprodint: A man came beside my shop to greet his friends with this hanging on his shoulder,is this what is called a monitor lizard?is it also a pet?it was alive.Are monitor lizard dangerous?
priceaction: Now to the deal of the day. If we can decode this, then, we might have good way to outbound up to 1000 mails daily from gmail using pc without hindrance and straight to primary email. Its a new method, its working for some people. But i have not got around it. even when searching for how to use on youtube, its not that clear to me despite the guy and some other nigerians were able to succeed. Some too are complaining on facebook group i see but some are going around it successfully. Its just mirror what you do, and then automate the sending , one by one.
Lets solve big outbounding problem. Anyone interested? Alternatively is to pay gmass around $8 per month for 500 mails daily. shikena. Most effective as at now, with autofollow up using boomerang or gmass itself.
Kamaye: I'm beginning to think that my item is either lost misplaced or stolen after arrival in Nigeria. I spoke to a friend who works at the Jos post office, he told me that they have been receiving parcels from twice a week since the ease down of the lock down two months ago, so it is surprising that my item has arrived in Lagos since July 18th but yet to arrive Jos after 3 weeks.
I'm facing same here. Mine even got to Nigeria since 9th of June. I don't know if it is the post office in Jos that is the cause. I've been to their office, but I was told my package hasn't arrived.
Hello bosses, what's your take on geo names having names of cities in the uk. Would it be wise registering the dot coms of such names because i kinda feel the Brits with their pride would prefer the dot co . uk domains.
Nascence: This picture was posted by Squadhelp on their social media pages few weeks ago.
According to SH, these 5 animal names are the top trending on their platfrom.
1. Fox 2. Lion 3. Raven 4. Bee 5.Eagle
Most of these animals comes in compound form, i.e a word in front or a word behind.
For example FoxSpur.com and BlingFox.com
One of the easiest way to find available names of this type is by leveraging on the already listed names on squadhelp.
Go to the Squadhelp marketplace and search for the animal of choice.
Note, copy or write down all of the other words attached to the animals in compound form, then attach those words to other animals of choice and run a search.
Let's use the above names for practice FoxSpur and BlingFox.
I am going to experiment with the other 4 animal examples given by SH.
BlingEagle.com - Available BlingRaven.com - Available BlingLion.com - Registered BlingBee.com - Registered
The above is just one method, it is now left to you to also look for other words, adjectives, nouns, adverbs etc that will go in synergy with these animals, but i can assure you that, by first using this method, you will get more than enough available animal names and it will also give you insight on how it works and new words you can use yourself.
Imagine getting words that can be used with all the animals and getting them accepted too. That's a big deal.
The animals above are not the only animals SH accepts though. There are many others and i will list some below.
Hello bosses, when i tried submitting an unregistered name on squad help, a message popd up telling me the name can't be submitted because it is a winner in a contest. Do you guys think it would be okay if i go ahead and register the name.
welturebotanical: when that interior wiring is connected to the government power supply you may still be able to get a good current if there's no fuse to break it down, but without fuse this current will be too high for all the home appliances and therefore will damage them, that is why all power coming from the pole are connected to a fuse that breaks it down to something ur home can take. When u connect this thick wire to that fuse, there will be fluctuation in the electricity of that house, because d current will want to wrap around that thick circumference n long length of the wire, before reaching each destination of every appliances and stuffs which will lead to low supply to ur appliances n bulbs etc, that is because the power from d pole has been broken down by the fuse. But I still need engineers to make corrections on what I said.. I may be wrong.
That's not true . Fuse has no role to play in stepping down of power. The only thing a fuse does is it cuts when the power being sent into the house exceeds the rating of the fuse. The job of stepping down the voltage is usually done by the transformer.
Thanks bosses for your input. I guess I would have read more before I make any purchases. Hopefully before the next allowee comes i would have learnt one or two things that would help me in this journey.
ElonMosque: You have a great attitude. 80% of the time, you are better off starting your domain journey with geo domains. So, do just that.
I do have some geo domains I bought early last month.I just decided to try this waters this time around. This is just my small way of investing my NYSC allowance. I just hope I'm not doing it wrongly sha.
