Here are some of the names I would have lost if I had not reviewed SH decision.

It cost nothing to review names just that you are limited to 5 reviews a month

I've been uninterested in listing in BB for 2 reasons and one of them is the cost of the logo.

How much did you pay for it. What is their present policy?
You have been advised to read up to current trends.

Logo fees no longer applies on BB only those that already had logo fees before this new rule, which has been since last year.

If you get a name from ED or anywhere that was previously listed on BB and had logo fee, when you resubmit, the logo fee will still apply.

On BB a once accepted name cannot be added the normal way, you have to reach out to them for them to relist it.

@bolded Figured you know this but Basic Plus names can be listed on other marketplaces. Just that the NS must point to SH. That's why I once asked the positives on listing for Basic Plus domains for more commission when an Afternic and Dan listing goes for less.
I know but basic plus & basic listing is not bounded by exclusitivity. It doesnt apply in this case.

The point I am driving at is this, if I list a name ONLY on BB & outbound, should it sell, I will be leaving money on the table.

Wisdom is to list on Epik/Dan with lower commision.

If you could sell it on your own, you wont be needing excusive marketplace.

For newbies, it is very wrong to list names on EXCLUSIVE markeyplaces & list elsewhere too

Your answer is ambiguous?

My answer is straight as the text itself


Do you outbound for your names listed on BB,SH & BP
Yes

If you do, I will love to know why?

I need Quicker Sales,allowing the marketplaces to do all the work leaves your progress at their pace. I know startups are frequently looking for good business names, so why not find them and outbound to them.

If you do, why ignore DAN, Epik with 10% commission Afternic 20% commission
I don't ignore those marketplaces, in fact I have all my names listed on each one of them including my brandables, except Sedo, where I have just a handful listed because of their stressful process of authentication.

Then outbound for the bolded with 30% commission
Outbounding for the bolded though at higher commissions, it still guarantees that I make more net profit.
Let me get something straight. The names you listed on BB,SH,BP, did you also list them on other marketplace?

If your answer is YES, I reserve my comment and can understand why you outbound.

Industry standard practice is to list brandables on exclusive marketplace & let them do their thing

List the others they didn't accept(or those you don't want to lock down) in non exclusive market place, then outbound to those one

Bosses, what does the percentage behind the number of shortlist means?

The percentage is decreasing.. It was around 10% when I first saw it.
You have been answered. Truth is you don't need those stats. Names have sold that had no shortlist, while some have 200 shortlist yet to be sold.

It's like going on jumia to shop for shoes, you add to your cart anyone that catches your fancy, thats shortlisting

You will then look at your cart & have a second look, ask friends to check them out & finally make a choice. That's a sale

You can also do the above because you are just window shopping

You can also make final choice but don't go ahead to buy or you to set a target to save money to buy it in 6months

Do you get the drift now

At the bolded, the relationship is that you said if you Haven't made a sale, then you don't know what you're doing. You said this Because someone implied that, I think. My point is that they probably say that because they haven't really seen a sale from you. If you had shown off some of your bb sales WELL, for example, it wouldn't have been so. So, we're still saying the same thing. I was just adding that you should not complain.
From the above, you aren't informed then.

I was being sacarstic with that statement & at same time revealing the mindset of some folks here.

In February, I reported a sale on BB, I also stated it that it was an SH reject. My objective was to let people know that SH reject does not mean the name is bad or not sell.

I have also reported some of my sales on other marketplaces on my Squadhelp thread.

I have never stated that I haven't made sales in domaining.

Mark my words, Alot of folks here will burn out in this business if they continue on their trajectory of feeling they know all just because of few sales they have made, they have left principles of domaining and are building on sand.

What do you think will happen when the dry phase comes?

I have said it before I will go on hibernation & continue to learn what I can learn from here. Maybe it's time to stick to it.

If you focus more on selling, your accepted names should have a higher chance of selling. That's my point.
If you're looking at at the type of names they been accepting lately, AkA new arrivals, for instance, you're focusing more on acceptance IMO. I think a better thing to do will be to tailor the kind of names submitted to suit their recent sales history.

The challenge is that, when you do this, it becomes difficult to find names that will stay available pending the time SH reviews the name. So, you won't be able to submit a lot of names everyday and have , for example, up to 8 names accepted in few days.

It's one thing to have your names accepted, and it's another thing for a sale to come in.

Just my line of thought.
Looking for keywords on SH marketplace for new arrivals is for beginners. There is more to it.

I will not speak more on this.

It appears folks are confusing Geodomain sales pattern with Brandables sales pattern.
BusinessRe: What To Do To Make Money Online? by therealMcCain: 7:26pm On May 18, 2020
I discovered that there are names SH will approve for you to register but they will reject that name if you choose the option of "I want SH to register the name"

So at the beginning I chose the dual option of me registering or them registering. I gave away a name that was approved for me to register on this thread, skill pactdotcom and I was insulted over it.

I vowed never to give out such names on this thread again.

Since then I choose only the option of SH registering. If it gets rejected. Fine

My point is have a plan & stick to it with room for continuous improvement & fine tuning
BusinessRe: What To Do To Make Money Online? by therealMcCain: 7:19pm On May 18, 2020
For the benefit of new timers.

You have to find out what works for you. Copying is allowed but you must forge your path and style else you burn out

I started with geodomain, didn't work out for me cos I didn't like the time spent outbounding.

I settled for brandble. list and wait.

In settling for brandable, I made another decision, spend less on renewal so I focused on SH names (this means less profit but no money spent on renewal)

I have lost loads of names in this process because when SH rejects it, I let it go, on few occasions I submit to BB.

I recently released over 800names that SH rejected on my Squadhelp thread, more than 70% of those names have been registered. Some of these names I would registered and listed on Dan & Afternic. I didn't because it doesn't meet my style and objective

Geofavor:
Stop crying fowl. You brought this upon yourself. You mention some sales, but when it comes to revealing the name, you chicken out.

Besides, you might want to see reason in what @expertix said. I think, on SH, you focus more on acceptance rather than selling. That's what I see most doing now.

That said, you're a boss. No doubt.
I am confused, what is the relationship between not revealing names and being insulted for not making sales?

So please how did I bring it upon myself?

"You said I should focus on selling than acceptance"

Please educate me, what more can I do?

Outbound for SH?

Have you seen seen anyone outbounding for a name listed on SH,BB or BP?

It is list and wait

You can't talk about quality because you haven't seen my portfolio besides there are 3 & 4 letter words on those marketplace gathering dust!!

You also do not know my sell rate on Afternic Dan or BB

With all sincerity and for others to learn, how do we optimize sales on SH and other brandable marketplaces? I am sure lots of folks are on this table to learn

You mean he has 100 approved names at SH? And no sales?

That is unfortunate. I think someone needs to lift him up
@itzzkhaliii

Apologies accepted. That was SARCASM on my part. Old timers understood


I have 156 names on SH

144 SH owned, still counting, my target is 200SH owned names

This poster thinks its unfortunate & I need lifting up just because I havent sold any.

My sales on other marketplace dont count, its SH that is the alpha & omega.

Mind you, popular opinion here is dont talk, if you havent made sales.

I'm not sure you understand what I outlined. Under Keyword Domain Auction? The auction is starting in 3 days' time and your domain will be included if selected.
The info is not complete.

What you put up there is normal way of listing domain on sedo. after adding names, you have to select the names & choose on Domain auctions.

You will then add your reserve price, domain language....

Gosh. That means you've taken all the good names. cry What's now left for boys?
My Brother, Its not like that o

Good names drop everyday & one person cant grab all the names. its enough for everyone.

Its the work to sift through names that is the koko.

The best & most tedious way is to search ED without keywords but i doubt anyone will have time to do that.

By searching with keywords on ED, you are limited because you will not get to see other names. Your search will be limited to your saved keywords.

So you must constantly work on your keywords, readmore & update.

Got this few days back.

SH wants to improve on domain name discovery on their marketplace. Each reviewer will be shown a group of domain names and you get to choose which category they are best suited for.

This is an opportunity for me to learn and be exposed to more names, sharpen my skills too

For each poll, I get 10points, Max of 50-100 polls a day

I started with my own coined names but none got approved then I switched to expired domains names like Homensure, pay bunk, waybillme all in dot com were coined by me, then names like codeclamp, Dexhorizon, Im buit, globarr all in dot com too were picked from expired domains
My dear, if you were able to come up with these names as a beginner, you are at the junction of the right street.

Its a very long street with inner streets, what you need is the right vehicle & the knowledge of which house to go to.

you have been given pointers too. explore them

I will add that you go through SH contest, read the contest holder brief/description of what they want & submit names.

Also go through contest results & see names that won. this will sharpen your skills

I have a thread on Squadhelp, you can check it out

I just registered a one word dictionery domain name. I won't call it prime though

Reassumes.com

The "s" at the end devalues it but I suspect I can still get like $595 for it as a fast sale. Picked it from expireddomains.net.

Or should I list it for $2,100?

Guys, what do you think
Reassume was regged 2013 by huge domains, its listed $3095 now(7yrs & counting) them never sell am

you want to list your own for $2100?

does this name have any wholesale value amongst domainers?

I won't. I'll learn. I used to own stabilises.comand 2 a few others. That's far worse than this one has it it spelt the English way and not the American way.

I sold 3 of them together in 2006 or so for $197. I either sold them on Namepros or Dnforum. I paid $37 then at Dnforum to be allowed to sell there. That $37 gave me a 20 year membership to the site.

There should be a buyer but I'm not expecting much. That's why I priced it at $595, a price a buyer may not think twice before paying.

I hope I'm right.
Even far back 2006, you didnt stick to industry standard of .com

There were so many cool .com you would have hand registered or gotten from drops, na this one you still regg.

My brother/sister, you need to unlearn all what you know & reaquaint yourself with current day trends.

Since you already have a foundation, it will be fast for you, but unlearn everything you have ever learned.

You dont appraise names based on how you feel about it or how you like it. there is room for gutfeelings but that needs constant improvement & finetunning.
