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.

Koats14: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 I used to do the TXT record at the beginning |

James39: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 |

nwafresh: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

nwafresh: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 1 Like 1 Share |

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 5 Likes 1 Share |

thorrvik55: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. 10 Likes 1 Share |

@greatdesire 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 |

greatdesire: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 9 Likes 5 Shares

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. 10 Likes 9 Shares

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 11 Likes 9 Shares |

akeensbussy: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 4 Likes 3 Shares |

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. 9 Likes |

frank417: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. 12 Likes |

Femcesc07:Guts and Instinct, nothing more When you develop your guts/instinct, you will spot a brandable name at once. I dont coin names, only did that when I started. Hempdiblesdotcom and one other name that is listed on SH. I let hempdibles to drop. I didnt renew it. Hemp + edibles I scan through alot of names on ED, so once i spot a brandable name, I add it to my watchlist. when i am done going through all my keyword search, I begin to vet my watchlist starting with google search to see what comes up, then wayback machine, marketplace search, namebio etc If the names scales through all of this, I proceed to submit to SH 10 Likes 4 Shares |

frank417:This is the straw that broke the camels back At the bolded, I never said nobody knows what DAN is, if I did point it out The OP reached out to me on whatsapp and asked me, I told him I didnt know, that he should put the question here. I am not all knowing and I cant jeopardize someones sale because i want to claim to know it all. I also stated it here that I dont know which marketplace allows you to buy without creating an account. is it a crime not to know something? Ken did not state that you can purchase on Dan without creating an account, he only told him to list and send the link to the buyer the same way another person told the OP to change the price on the same Epik. I am a process person, I hate assumptions and the end does not justify the means for me. You said you knew 1000000% that i knew what ken was talking about? how do you know? is it a crime not to know something, did i tell you i was the embodiment of knowledge? When a question is asked and answered here, Its ceases to be the concern of the questioner only because others will learn from it, so if the wrong info is passed, then its the duty of anybody here to provide clarification or rebuttal. why do we keep referring people to page 1? Are they the ones that asked the questions there? Aproko, quick to call and bash you say abi? This post of mine will be the last one for a very long time. I will observe and learn from the sidelines. PS I am aware of the story of the skilled drummer who faked his death, another better drummer came along and the 1st drummer later came out, and he was told to go back to the land of the dead. So this thread will thrive excellently without my participation. 11 Likes |
