As for the person that registered those names, if they got it from this thread, I don't fault them. This is an open forum, there are all kinds of folks here including those with no moral or integrity values.

That's life for you. Opportunist will always be around the corner. What I will fault & what I consider terrible is if someone reaches out to you privately for appraisal then you go ahead to register it or discourage them in order to register it for yourself.

Bro, it's not about whether I care or not. If I could afford to register those names, I wouldn't be waiting on SquadHelp to do so in the first place.

70% commission sounds a lot nicer to me than 35%.

I knew I would be doing some kinda giveaway by post those names here but what I considered to be more important is @therealMcCain's opinion on those names and his advice going forward.

My apologies! It's my fault kinda but a learning point for others. Don't reveal unregistered names, if you don't want to loose them.

Reach out to trusted folks to vet your unregistered names privately. I have mentors that I use so noone knows it all.

Some folks have reached out to me privately also to vet names. Unfortunately I don't have the mental bandwidth to appraise names this period.

I asked you to put up some names, I was hoping to do a top of the head appraisal while banking on some other persons to chip in. They have done marvellous job.

You on the other hand are on track, those names they selected are good brandable, BB, BP & Afternic candidates.

If you haven't registered on Godaddy before, I believe you will qualify for $0.99 registration for 1name.

Haykay2005, ikhalyfah & others thanks for your responses.

PS:I haven't bothered to go through your previous post on NL to know your kinda of person. favour has found you today. Reach out to me, I will give you my 3 books for FREE.

It's about time I register my presence here. Been following this thread for 2 months now. I signed up on SquadHelp on 7th of June and so far, every name I've submitted have been thrown right back at me. Learning process, I guess.
One thing I learned recently is that SquadHelp have their own special taste of what's brandable and what I've learned in other brandable tutorials almost doesn't apply to SquadHelp. Cos I've seen names that's makes no sense - to me - got accepted and those that does make sense get thrown out.
I've read here that @therealMcCain's eBooks deals with SquadHelp specifically and that it's really good but I can't afford them for now. So, I'm just going to find time to study the platform and see if I can develop a sense for what is acceptable and selling on the platform.

Post 10 of the names you think are the best in your rejected list. Let's see whether you are on track or not

Pls, how do I respond to the question mark below the domain name in pending review? The domain is actually 2 syllables. Thanks

Have you read this thread from the beginning?

When you clicked on the ? Sign what did it reveal?

No of syllable doesnt really have a role in a name selling.

What counts is length, keyword & a host of other things.

Syllable is not on that list, if It is, it will be the last.

I have been quiet of late, lots of physical activities going on with me. Had to put a hold on domaining activities. Hopefully will resume soon.

Scanning through ED has also caused eye strain. Need to take some rest too. We should learn to recognize when our body is telling us to slow down.

I can see that lots of folks have keyed in SH zero financial investment opportunity. I am happy about that. I was inspired by someone & I am happy I have inspired others too.

As someone will always say, May your sale be to an Enduser.

Special thanks to all those who have contributed to this thread & helped to answers questions

I don't have issues with adding names to Sedo. Just use their name servers make sure, privacy is off.

That usually does it for me. Its takes awhile sometimes

From the below

No cash yet to buy your ebook

Appraisal is work o! Nothing deep, just top of my head.

Funnel keyword is usually related to sales. So those two funnel names won't fly

Remotecare is best, RemoteCaring is good too but caringremote(na remote way dey show care?)


Wetin be pendemic? Not to talk of pendemix? It's a play on pandemic but I don't see any value in this. Except you register & hold to see what comes along.

Botic is all about robotics, more of a techy keyword & not a common word too

It says pending approval. How do I approve it?

Edit: I've find my way around filling the primary use and others. It's now showing completeness "Average" what am I missing?

Bros did you click on Approve & classify instantly?

Poor, Good, Average & Excellent is just a way of guaging how many of those fields you filled & not necessarily what you filled.

Just ensure your name has been approved & listed especially if its SH that is to do the registration

Thanks.. I've seen them. They rejected 2.I also saw one of the three I posted yesterday on pending approval. Can I type the name here or what until it get accepted or rejected?

Pending Review or Pending Approval?

If its pending approval, accept & list it

Any name on Pending commision Approval means SH has accepted the name & waiting for you to Accept their terms & list.

If its an unregistered name, better be fast before someone else registers it

Boss, I saw a message on my profile that someone submitted my domain for contest. I accepted the T & C.

My question is, if the name wins, who will get paid.?

The answer is on Pg 35. When you have been away for some time, try to scan some pages.

Whats with all the 1, 2 syllable inquiry I have been seeing?

Forget about syllables for now and focus on compound words that blend, have synergy and meaning

If you are going for invented or blended, fine also

Forget about syllable and all of that. when you have gained more insight, you can then talk about syllable, adjective + noun or verb + whatever combo

Boss, the ones u sold, like how many end-users did u reach out to?
Did u get the leads via Google or LinkedIn?

For both that sold, I targeted just 2 persons

You can go to linkedin to search too.

Inagine u google a name & you 5 okeke james

1.chef
2.entertainer
3.cashier
4.writer
5.painter

No 1, 2,4 will be your target because they are the ones that will likely need their names as domains

maybe the next batch, i will expand my search.

Though note that the range you will get from this sale will be 50-350. The common spot is 100-200.

You dont want to give them a reason to backdown. so a price that wont hurt their pocket.

This corona too isnt helping issues, you dont expect an entertainer who hasnt done any gig for 3months to spend money on domain.

@therealMcCain

1: Please, may i ask the type of People's First or Last name you register?

Since this is not advisable.





2: What criteria do you observe before choosing the name?

3: Since names can be random letters, how do you filter ED to get those names?


Regards.

Still experimenting, bought 4 FNLN

I have sold 2. so there are still alot of unknown for me

When you set your language to english then min of 2 words & maximum of 2words(ED search Filter)

lots of names willcomeup in your search. You then search google to see what comes up

on the issue of AI recommendation, its not perfect so make sure you read the brief before you submit the name to it.

There is a penalty for submitting names that do not match the brief at all

Pls to the bosses in the house. I submitted unregistered name to SH it got approved. And later received this screenshot.

Is it advisable to do so and if I win will it be same 25% that was agreed upon.

And if the name did not win will it be listed back to the premium that it was before.

And how will I know am eligible for the contest.

Thanks

Understand how contest works

If you submit a premium name and its selected as winner, you get the contest prize

Its left to the contest holder to buy your name at premium price. your name can win but will not be bought

If the contest holder decides to buy the name, then you get the 25% commission (if its SH that owns it else you get the 70%)

The name is always in the marketplace, its not as though it was removed and submitted to the contest. so if it doesn't win, it changes nothing

As a new registree on SH you are required to pay $10 before you can partake in contests. check if you can participate in contest without being asked to pay.

the next is to check available contest for the ones whose brief match your premium names or brief you think you can coin names for

While waiting for the Brandable to sell, which takes time

You can either do Geodomains, If outbound is your thing or Sell accepted BB/SH unregistered names.

I started with Geo and I have discovered its not for me. So i sell accepted unregistered names.

There is someone I am following on Twitter who introduced me to the concept of selling First and Last names for quick flip.

Dont go register someone who is very famous/popular/celebrity, It MIGHT backfire, they might sue for the name.


Picture 1
Sold for $150 @ Afternic($120 after commission)
I reached out to the buyer by simply asking if they were interested in the name without price. the response was yes.

Quoted $800. The buyer told me it was his name and was pretty much useless to anybody else. he said if i was ready to go lower, I should contact him. I asked him to make an offer and he refused, went silent.

I dropped it to $299 when he refused to make an offer. I had to reachout after his continued silence, to enquire if he was still interested. He then told he was considering everything, complained a bit how corona had affected him. I believed because he ran a small shop. days later, I dropped the price to $150, reached out to him and offered him that price, told him i gave him the consideration due to corona.

Picture 2
Sold for $50 @ Epik ($45 after commission, I guess)
Negotiations started same way of asking if he was interested. he said yes, I responded with a quote of $350. he went silent.
Reached out days later, if he was still interested. He brought up the corona issue. I reduced the price to $150. He said he couldn't afford that at the moment. I asked him what he could afford, he said $50


I have other First name/Last name that negotiations are ongoing. For these two sales, I had the option of waiting till next year when things settle down, then pitch to them again. that defeats my objective of quick flip. so I decided to sell. My BB names review outcome will be out in few days, this sale will cover for the registration

Picture 1
This is a screenshot from Expireddomains. The highlighted redbox is the ACR column. Archived Crawled Results
This shows there is 38crawled results. if it is zero, it means there are no crawled/saved results. when you click on the number it takes you to the wayback machine page.

Picture 2
The wayback machine page. The screenshot shows that there are saved pages between 2010 and 2019. There was no saved pages for 2014-2018(this does not mean that there were no activities on the website, it just means wayback did not crawl/save any page for those period)

you will also notice that the bars for 2010 and 2011 are thicker than that of 2019. this implies that there were more saved results for 2010/2011 than 2019.

Before now, If I see a wayback machine for any domain that has thin bars, I ignore I dont bother checking because i feel there nothing for me to see, sometimes you click and it gives an error message. I no longer do that because I have seen thin bars with juicy information, so I check all.

NAVIGATION
When you click on any of the year it displays a calendar with dates circled in red, blue or orange filled colors

Blue indicates that there is a saved/crawled page
Orange indicates that the URL was not found
Green indicates redirects

when you click on any of such dates with blue circle, it takes you to how the page was on that particular date. if the dates are not circled, it means there is no save results for it. when you click on dates with green, it takes you to the webpage, that domain was forwarded to on that particular date.

WAYBACK TUTORIAL

Internet Archive Wayback Machine:This is a digital archive database of the world wide web. From this database you get to see saved crawled pages of any archived website for certain dates.

Why is this useful to you as a domainer?
From this archive, you get to see what a domain was used for in the past, the result could show that that a particular domain have been for sale since inception till it dropped, was used for porn, Chinese site, redirect, used by several organizations etc This will help you make an informed decision whether to buy or not.

Example 1
Domain A was registered in 2000 and dropped in 2020. Wayback machine shows it has always had a sales lander for the price of $3000. This tells you that either the Buy it Now(BIN) price was too high so it scared away endusers or the name is a bad name and as such it wont sell or that the name requires more time to sell.

You can make your research, find out if there are enough endusers, find out if the name can sell with a lower price of say $500-1000 etc

Without the Archived results you would never have known this history about this domain name


Example 2
Company A used a domain between 2000 and 2005 but for whatever reason, it expires, Company B then picked it up and used for 2years, then folded up or whatever. you can make your research and decide to pitch back to Company A. The archived results can also show the type of company that have been using a particular name and this will help to look for more endusers


Example 3
I dont have experience with Chinese websites but a website that has always been used for Chinese purposes even though the english domain name has nothing to do with the content might not be helpful to you.(I stand to be corrected here) or a domain that has always been used as a porn website.

These examples are enough to highlight the importance of the Wayback machine

There are exceptions though rare. SH is known to be a low priced marketplace. A name listed on SH can be twice the price or more on BB

Bros, This shows you havent digested my books, you probably scanned through. I had to go through my chats to confirm you have my books.

On SH matketplace, I explained how to search for keywords, Did you do that before registering these names? same search pattern applies to other matketplaces

On the brandable book, I talked about evaluations, so i am wondering why you decided to register these names based on evaluations only

NOTE:I havent done any detailed search nor top of my head appraisal. Explain what you had in mind when registering it? Who do you think will use this name?

I recently registered a name & one of my mentor told me it was a bad name, I gave him reasons why i registered it, told him the meaning & with those info he did a search & saw reasons with me. So help me see from your perspective


In the meantime, Go through my books again

Prior to Dan Sales. TherealMcCain was pointing out that even if you list the domain in Onitsha main market. The buyer needs to create Epik Account to receive his domain.

Peace.

No this wasnt what happned.

1.The name was listed on Epik marketplace. Buyer wanted to make an Offer, Epik asked for registration

2.Buyer does not want to register inorder to make an offer

3.OP reaches out to me & I tell him to ask the house because i dont know which of the matketplace to buy/make offers without registration

4.OP is told by ken to list on DAN & send the link to the buyer. Ken does not state whether DAN requires registration or not

5.I pointed this crucial fact out

6.Frank with comprehension issues jumps in to accuse me that i claim not to know what DAN is or how to list there

I hope you get the full picture.

Therealmccain I want you to read that irritating post of yours claiming not to know how to list on DAN or whether buyer needs to reg or not before buying.

You called those guys out with the intention to do your usual “call out and bash” and not to help newbies as you claimed.

You are 100000% knowledgeable of how to list on DAN and understand what kendzyma was trying to say But you couldn’t just help your attitude.

Why didn’t you just explain to the OP?

Change brother.

I did say i wasnt going to reply in a long time.

I have to clear this, I can see the premise you are responding from. I never claimed not to know how to list on Dan.

I have been listing on DAN & I am still listing, I have equally made sales BUT what i do not know is, if a buyer needs to create an Account on Dan before making a purchase


That is the crux of the whole matter. how does knowing how to list on Dan translate to Knowing how to buy on Dan.

The names I have bought from Dan was seamless to me because i was logged in already.

Kindly point out where i stated that i dont know how to list on Dan!

An enduser expressed concerns that he doesnt want to register before making an offer on a name

I said i dont which platform that can be done, that the Op should ask the house.

You are forming sherlock holmes with screenshot.

Your biase for me made you respond without understanding the issue at hand. Its like you been waiting for an opporrtunity to lash out & you did so with this. You acted on a wrong premise.

As to the person who mentioned alternate monikers

I am themccainreal & mccainreal

These were created cos i was getting banned doing my tutorials.
