Chai. @jboixxx maybe it's a good thing mine didn't enter (RN8). Who knows what I would have been charged when the purpose of ordering from AE was to make some savings (I paid with USD). Make dem kuku refund me make I buy from here.

tinnymerit:
How do you write your description on SH sice the names are not attacheto any industry?

He didn't say names aren't attached to any industry.

For instance, FRESHFOOD is definitely for the FOOD INDUSTRY. It does not refer to a particular type of fresh food (there are many), and it fits several verticals in the food industry - fresh food delivery, fresh food supermarket/grocery store, fresh food/frozen food storage/cold room, fresh food restaurant, fresh/hot/instant meal delivery etc.

But FOODCOVER, though still in the food industry, is limited because it refers to a particular product. And may be restricted to manufacturing companies (plastic, pvc, foil etc). But you know these companies will not produce just food covers, but other types of products. Therefore, they will not use a name that refers to just one of their products.

So for FRESHFOOD, and for a likely SH description, it can go like this...

A great brand name for the food industry. This is a short 2 syllables name, memorable, and adds value and brand visibility to many opportunities in the Food/Beverage industry such as fresh food delivery, fresh food supermarket/grocery store, fresh food/frozen food storage/cold room, fresh food restaurant, fresh/hot/instant meal delivery etc.


PS

There are names that are simply meaningless, without any keywords, and with no obvious industry attachment. These are the names where you have to use the way they sound, look, feel, and mostly your guts to tailor their descriptions.

You single ladies should stop giving marriage advice.
Until you're married, you know nothing marriage.
It's not her money, it's their money, including the man's earning.
They need to come together and make a decision.

Don't mind the retailers.

makydebbie:
I'll rather get a life than a man, you must be very silly. Where in my post did I call myself a feminist? Dumb one.

Oh. By your fruits, what you are, consciously or unconsciously, becomes evident. But not to worry, looks like you are just a kid still in the retail stages of life. Come back when you mature into the wholesale department - the real deal

makydebbie:
It's her money and she's the one going through the stress yet you don't want her to get a car? When she's not even asking you for money.

I'm shocked sef, because she's not asking you for money.

Angry feminist, it is THEIR money. Nobody is dragging "Independent woman" with you. Get a life...sorry...a man. Mtschewww!!

viktor88:
For newbies like me, if you see any name you like from the drop, put it in your watchlist and see if anyone would reg them, if people keep reging them it means that your name picking is getting better.

I don't have money to buy domain now and have missed good domains after putting them in my watchlist.
Dallasbookstore/king
JewelryCatch\king(this one pain me)

In addition , dig deeper. Who has been buying these your watchlist names? An end user, or a fellow domainer?

Don't just conclude simply because names you bookmarked are attracting buyers. Monitor what the buyers did with the names. Did they develop websites on them (end users), or they simply relisted them on marketplaces (fellow speculators)?

jboixxx:

COWBOYFAN:
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen

I just had a traditional wedding earlier this month.

Here is the bombshell I just confirmed she's now three weeks pregnant. I can't trust my life with her at this juncture. I'm leaning towards divorce. I'm too scared to be with her. She's too greedy.

Oga abeg no vex ooo. This current one na wife number wetin?

IdeasPro:
Why worrying and killing yourself with charges. Even if it is 80 percent that come to you, you are still in profit. You buy a domain name with less than $10 and receive $100 and above you are complaining. Go and open a shop in Lagos market and see area boys, area girls, Iya olojas and babas, federal government, state government, local government and ill wishers coming to collect their unapproved tithes one after the other.

Truly, it is not how much you receive that makes the difference in your life but what you are investing in with the money you are receiving. So, take note.

WORD!

ThisisIkemefuna:
Outbound

Hmmm. You didn't tell him any price?

ThisisIkemefuna:
I directed them to make an offer. Still waiting

Make offer? Was this an inbound or outbound contact?

ThisisIkemefuna:
Meaning I should reply immediately then? Wow I thought differently. This is my first time so don't blame me.

Modified: done!

How did the hot striking go?

slumbee:
Any suggestions on how best to sell a domain such as hydraulics/repair/king.

fergusen:
Hydraulicrepair//net is even developed.

Just use several variations of the search term above ("who repairs hydraulics" ) in your search.

In my early days in domaining, when I had just the mindset of buying and selling, this type of issue really dealt with me. But when I started looking at the whole business more from the investment perspective, I became better at handling it......or more appropriately, I became better at avoiding it.

What I am about to write below doesn't mean you can't sell this name, but it goes to reveal the avoidable mistakes we are bound to make without proper foundation.

Though there are millions of similar cases that can occur, I will use the name(s) mentioned, to critique this issue.

Hydraulic vs Hydraulics

Lol.

Yea. They are not the same thing. They are different things. One is not the plural of the other, and the other is not the singular of one (lol, excuse the play of words).

English really dealt with me at a point. Sometimes it still does, but not that often sha.

Hydraulic refers to machines like pumps, jack, crane, press, brakes etc., while Hydraulics are the different fluids (water, oil, gas etc.) used by hydraulic machines to function.

Now, hydraulicrepair/com/net are both developed because it makes more sense to repair machines than repair water, oil, gas (if that is even possible).

If we learn the basic rudiments of name research, develop and adapt it to our individual styles (we are all different), then we would not only save more money from avoiding risky names, but expand our knowledge in fields outside our primary areas of study/influence.

This same scenario also plays out with UK/USA spellings. Pitching organiser/com to an American will be a tough sale, same as trying to get a Briton buy color/com.

Sometimes we try to "force" ourselves into buying certain names that we see on the surface as jackpots, despite some obvious red flags, and without digging deeper to find out the reason the so-good-to-be-true name was even available. Yes, we may get lucky at times and hit pay dirt, but luck is unreliable. Only a structured system has a greater success rate.

Expireddomains/net is a great resource, but it all depends on how we see it. Do we see it more as haystacks, or more as needles? If you see it more as haystacks than needle, then you would know, and be prepared to put in some quality work in order to find any needle. But if you see it more as needles than haystacks, na your money go suffer because you would end up registering names you shouldn't.

The very first thing to do when you see a name that has been regged before, available again, is to try and find out the reason the name dropped. We may never find the reason, but trying will open our eyes and expand/develop our research skills.

Another thing is, when you see a name, don't be in a hurry, thinking someone else will snap it up before you finish researching it. Let the person go ahead. Names full everywhere, you just need to know where to look, how to look, and when to look. Do not look for reasons to buy a particular name. Trust me, you will easily see many reasons to go ahead. When you are faced with names, try and find out reasons you SHOULD NOT buy that name. This will place you in a frame of mind for a better risk-benefit analysis.

If you have in mind to buy and sell short term (nothing wrong with this), your research may be too shallow. But if you are buying a name (geo, kw, brandable etc), with the understanding and readiness to hold the name for years if need be, believe me, you will research and research and research and.........before you register any name. It is better to have a long term mindset even when buying for short term.

Short term. Long term. Whatever floats your boat, ride on, but DYOR.

We march on!

"You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks." Winston Churchill.

Guys, that juice is not worth the squeeze. NOTHING dey inside. Just 1 drop.

Don't bother quoting me in agreement. Make we just march on.

luvluvluv:
Do u guys think it s better to pitch ur dot com domain name to the owner of its dot org? Or is it better to not pitch and allow them come for it?

If I should pitch pls what is the best line to use?

This does not have a one-drug-cures-all answer.

What type of owner is using the .org?

A religious body, nonprofit organization, NGO, social responsibility organization etc., will naturally use .org and will not take the .com version even for free.

If the owner uses it as a business/commercial site, you MAY stand a chance making an impression with a pitch.

Many things go into a business leaving .com for another TLD. The .com may have been used for spam and blacklisted by Google. If that's the case, the name will be hard/impossible to rank, and will not be accepted for AdWords.

There are a million reasons a business may choose to stay away from .com

It takes money to pursue money. There are paid resources that can help one analyse names better.

How long does it take network solutions to send me my authorisation code.

onwubiko:
I am not taking it serious, I just don't like when people ask for money in everything....
He should open a whatsapp class like Oga iyke if he want start charging people, but I have moved on and I wouldn't be commenting on this matter again

Are you slow? Take a chill pill. Mtscheww!!

Lynette2cute:
Not yet, do you have something for me?

Yes. Do not neglect online opportunities. Some people work/earn full time online.

Do a self SWOT analysis and see what your online skills/potentials are.

djpoepe:
Please what’s going on with afternic....sold a domain for $350 and they scheduled to pay out $280 but what hit the account is N59,800. Which kind of calculation is that abeg?

Anyone experienced this kind thing before?

ElonMosque:
Abeg no mind them ooo. I'm not like that oo. I will share profits because ignorance can be costly in this biz.

I hope your moniker inspires you each morning.

2sexycom:
The worse part is that when seeking advice, they hardly consider the TIME of the person they want to seek help from.

One person contacted me with LIST of names and told me to select the best one for HIM while he just sit wherever he is and wait for me do the WORK, which I am not being PAID for and if peradventure any of the selected on get sold... he will keep the money 100% to himself

bROS, i just tire for the matter.

Lynette2cute:
I collected my NYSC discharge certificate all smiles. Finally I was done and could now focus on getting a job.

The days went by and then of like every average Nigerian graduate, I began praying in earnest for a job and boom the invites started rolling in.

I opened my mail to see an invite from union bank in Jos. I started practicing some interview questions in front of my mirror. As the day drew closer I envisioned myself in a suit and high heels walking the corridors of the bank not as a customer but as a staff. Finally I'd be out of the labour market and of course have bragging rights amongst my pals. Ah, see me practicing my catwalking steps with so much enthusiasm. I was already fantasizing about spoiling myself silly with my first salary; shoes, bags, clothes and possibly a vacation. I swear I was already living large in my mind.

I packed my well ironed corporate wear and off I traveled to J.town. The next morning, I had my bath, make up on fleek, clothes simple but elegant and classy, cat walking upgraded, ate a light breakfast and off I went. As par jjc in j town naso I dey waka up and down to find the address. People just dey give me different directions, I called the contact person for the interview Oga no pick. I went into another branch of union bank to ask for directions naso madam customer care just dey speak turenchi dey give attitude, in my mind I said shey I'll soon be a staff abi, aunty just pray make I no be your Oga. I thanked her with a smile on my face and off I went.

I got to the venue and the security took me in and showed me where other invitees were seated. I took a seat and awaited my turn to face the interview. Lynette2cute pls come in some one called. I gathered all the confidence I could muster and went in, damn, girl was nervous. I went in, greeted the interviewers and was asked to sit. I answered the questions asked with ease as I was no longer nervous, it turned into a friendly chat and the chairman of the interview panel looked at me and said ' I love your spirit and cheerfulness, you're smart, intelligent and really what we need but you're too young, very soon you'd want to pursue greater things maybe an M.Sc or a better employment and working in a bank leaves you little or no time to develope yourself, so I'd advice you do something that'd give you time to pursue your dreams. I wish you the best' Those words broke me, I wanted to protest but all I heard myself say was Thank you sir, I'd consider your advice. As I stepped out, I thought there goes my dream of walking around the bank proudly as a staff. My dream of new clothes, bags, shoes, going to a spa, vacation all gone, well not gone just postponed.

I returned home, sulked a bit put myself back together and prepared for more interviews as it's now a daily struggle.

Each genuine interview invite I get, I keep telling myself ' This might just be it' and that's what keeps me going.

That remark may have been the final test in that interview - to see if you have a fighting spirit. To see if you are the type that will not take a No for an answer (great skill for a marketer and a goal getter).

Hope you finally got settled in somewhere else

IghravweIG:
He said it's a city + pool domain which is obviously a geo domain.

Isn't it better he sold it for quick flip than wait for the big bucks that may never come?

I repeat, you do not know the name.
