I make use of mail chimp for outbound mails.
On mail chimp you can customise the appearance of your mail to include buttons etc.
One important thing about mail chimp is that you can track the stats of your mails (Available on the free version).
This will help you filter out who opened the mails, number of times each recipient opened it,
who clinked any link on the body, the link that was cliked and so on.
By so doing you can filter out the recepients likely to have interests and then do more follow up on them.

You could also resend to those that did not open it at all too as it may have dropped in their spam box.

Let me also use this opportunity to pay homage to my oga wey show me raod @Iykepromotions.
I hail you sir.

Sales Report

DN - Denver//Gift//Store//king
HandReg @ Namecheap
CP - $7.10
SP - $300
HT - 1 month 10 days
ST - Outbound
SV - DAN

Buyer opted for transfer to her GoDaddy account hence I had to wait for 20 more days to make it 60 days before I could complete domain transfer, receive payment and report sale like I promised.

After initially outbounding plus reduced price follow ups, yet no tangible response or offer, so i got another sales letter recently from zord33k increase the price and did fresh outbound to 17 new leads including facebook evening before only to wake up and see Dan congratulations message following morning.

Buyer came from Facebook.

Thanks to Opistorincos for email leads and also zord33k for sharing his recent sales letter with me.

To God be the Glory

Congrats

Bro, if I am not going to lie, you have some decent names on your list.

Just because you don't make sales on those domain names now does not means you will not make sales on them later.

All you have to do is keep doing follow up on the domain names, you might make sales eventually.

Also, you should continue to reg more decent names and do out bound on them asap.

Geo domain name business is based on number game, the more you reg is the higher the chances to make sales.


I hope this helps, Happy Sunday to you too.

Thanks Bro

My take on constant request for email copy and other basic questions.

I want to believe we've been keeping all the sales letters dropped here and NP. You can always edit them to save the time and effort of asking for it here. And like someone pointed out, we have to put more faith in our skills. Tbh the domaining community is very kind, other sectors are less accomodating. Try learning forex for example.

Now I'm not saying don't ask (heck, I even asked for email few pages ago). Let's learn to trust our instincts more, learn from our successes/mistakes and continue growing. Also some questions are quickly assigned with a lil google search. To assist with sales letters, I've compiled some of the more recent sales letters/follow ups and attached below. Use, tweak to taste, create something new.

More sales to us all.

Thanks so much

I tried upwork sometime in 2016 and was rejected, I gave up and continued life as a Video director, then sometime in November 2019, I was at a very low point in my life, finances was not coming in as much as it should, I was managing. That time was one of the times I thought so much about my life, I pondered on so many businesses I could startup with the finance I had, but then, I finally decided to try upwork again, and, I did, and was accepted instantly, before trying, I read a lot of articles on opening an upwork account, I knew the questions that were asked while opening already, so I took my time to properly write it, and just copied and pasted in their respective fields, I was glad, but that was just the beginning, upwork was not friendly for starters at all, it was difficult, I was wasting my connects applying for any and every job I see, I never got even an interview, then I went online and read about writing proposals, studied it very well, watched over 6 hours of upwork related tutorials on YouTube, watched a video editor called Jack Cole on YouTube, he is a freelancer video editor on upwork, watched so many of his tutorials and built on it, by that time, my free 20 connects were long gone already, I was not discouraged, I bought 20 connects again and again, while still studying writing a catchy proposal, until I mastered the art, I finally got a job for a monthly pay of $100 dollars making a short 2 minutes video daily, it was not the best, but i needed the reviews, so I took the job anyways, all this time, I never left my main job o, by the way, this client was the most frustrating person I have ever done business with in my life, it started well at first, he was a naval officer in Australia, I was doing well until my village people remembered me, all of a sudden, my laptop crashed, see wahala I, tried fixing, all to no avail, na there problem start, I had to be running to my friends house every day to use his pc to get the job done and send to this man, my motivation was not the pay, it was the much needed review, I was to submit a video latest by 9pm daily, 9:05pm, this man is already on my whatsapp asking where the video was, ah ah, see wahala o, for $100 dollars?

Well, I endured and kept on working, I took out some money to get a manageable 4gb ram laptop that wanted to frustrate my life, for those that are into video production, you will understand how terrible it is to run premiere on a 4gb core i3 laptop, you will almost be crying, if you are not careful, you will slam the laptop on the floor, exporting a 2 minutes clip can take up to an hour, everything was just frustrating, I endured it, I had no choice, I was determined, I loved upworks premium feel, I hated fiver due to the way those Indians have littered everywhere with their terrible English while sending proposals, plus, upwork had longterm benefits, so I stuck with upwork, anyways, after the first month of working with this man, enduring everything and making sure I was on time, I told the man I was increasing my rates, he asked how much, I told him 1k dollars, the man shock, I said it just to ward him off, cos if I decide to just pull out, he may give me a bad review and that will defeat the whole purpose of my 1 month suffering, he wanted to pay 200 a month, I no gree, I run before him frustrate me, well, he tried to pay me 6h dollars for a livestream job where he wanted me to be streaming at least 20 hours of music every day to his YouTube channel (just imagine as money too much for this man o), well, I rejected, where will I get stable unlimited internet in Nigeria and also stable 24 hours light? Or is it with my small 4gb Laptop I will use to stream? Wetin I want come use edit?

Well, I was sad that I left my only job, and went back to the labor market (upwork) for a new job, by the way, before I landed my first job, I spent over 1 month submitting proposals without even an interview, back to the story, after about 2 more weeks, I have almost exhausted the 100 dollars on connects again, I landed another low paying job, 30 freaking godam sports videos for 300 dollars, who does that? 1 Video can take me 4 hours to make o, anyways, they say a bird at hand is better than hundreds in the sky, I accepted the job, and completed the project, this client was far more understanding, unlike the first guy that almost made me start going on x videos to get the particular sultry (but not porn) videos he wanted me to work on.

Completed the project, and got more, it was low paying and wasn't the best, but i enjoyed it cos I loved football, and editing football clips was fun for me, from there, I got another client which was moderately fair, to cut the long story short, about 3 months down the line, I had earned over 1.5k dollars, some weeks ago, I just got my JSS badge with 94%, I am in my 3rd top rated eligible week, with over 6k earnings already, I don't do jobs less than $100 dollars, the same sports videos I did for $10 each back then, I don't do for less than $200 each now, my whatsapp is filled with clients from all over the world, yesterday, I declined 2 invitation to interview, I have about 6 long term clients that I earn nothing less than 5h dollars per week from, apart from the occasional clients that comes to me every now and then to work for them, I have a constant assurance of $300 weekly from one of my hourly job, i have over 120 connects in my account untouched, cos I don't even have to submit proposals, jobs just comes, I accepted a new job yesterday, today, I got a text all the way from US asking me to work for him (referrals),i am thinking of downgrading my account to the regular upwork account cos I don't think I will be needing their connects anytime soon, so they can stop taking my 15 dollars monthly, moral of the story.

Doing those jobs all those times, enduring the pressure, the constant struggle to keep up, the competition, reinvesting all my earnings into upwork at some point, my first 3 earnings went back to upwork, I didn't even withdraw, it was difficult, it was never easy, I was very discouraged, I almost gave up, but i am glad I didn't.

Today, my dear 4gb ram laptop has become decoration on my desk, used sparingly to write scripts, i now own 2 8gb ram laptops, core i7, a 16gb ram core i7, and a 32gb ram core i7, all bought from upwork earnings, the rest they say is history, I am glad I took this path, don't give up, be professional, try as much as you can to please your clients, I have 3 other people working under me, I am even thinking of how to properly establish the company and employ more with upwork being my major source for clients, I have lots of good reviews to the extent that even upwork is asking me to submit my cv so they can see the possibility of dissolving me into one special freelance package wey me no even understand sef, but it has benefits according to them sha, it is well my people.

Just felt to share my story to encourage you all.
