Did u use your
Nigerian Facebook account for the outbound ?
Yes I did. Our gurus here told us that if your domain name is good, your Nigerian identity will not prevent the sale. Just make sure that your Facebook account is ACTIVE and CLEAN. Else it will look like a made up account.

Testimony time. Alert just entered. Jesus thank you!

3 word USA geo domain (real estate industry)

Bought at Netsol for $1 on Dec. 23 2018 and set BIN $2,300 on Undeveloped

Outbounded on 26th night to more than 20 end users (Facebook and direct email)

Woke up around 3am on Dec. 27th to see an offer of $1,500

I immediately countered $2,000

Buyer countered $1,500 again and said (Unfortunately that's as high as I can go. Thank you for the consideration.)

I come think am. Sleep no gree come again. I say weda to use delay tactics. My church mind tell me say I dey greedy. $1500!!!

I accept fasssssttttt!!!Dec 27th

The waiting game don start be that.

I took the liberty to search the buyer on Facebook. Saw her and noticed she is a very big realtor in that particular real estate subniche I targeted. (Meanwhile name was gotten from Expireddomains)

I added her as a friend and introduced myself. (Reason for this was to get her to know I am real ..... probably worked)

She was on vacation so communication was hell. But I kept communicating. Answering her many questions about her being skeptical about Undeveloped as a trustworthy company, transfer process, how she will get the domain etc.

This went on till Dec 31st when the buyer sent me a mail from Undeveloped that almost gave me heart attack LOL.

Undeveloped in their payment reminder to her spelt the domain name (the name of the city) wrongly TWICE in the same mail. Chai.

She said her trust don vanish that professionals cannot make such a mistake. Wahala. My brain went into overdrive.

I had to allay her fears by letting her understand that Undeveloped being a European country may sometimes get foreign names wrong. I agreed with her that it was unprofessional and that I will contact Undeveloped to correct the mistake.

She was happy.

I contacted Undeveloped and apologies were poured out with promises to rectify the issue.

I purposely didn't bombard buyer with mails so that she will not feel too pressured and back off, but I remember asking her when she intended to pay, cos with the landing page showing "Domain Sold", I may lose other prospects.

She totally understood my concerns and said she was on vacation and cannot do much until she gets back home. That if I want to back off from the deal she will understand...WHAAAATTT!!! Back off wetin!!! God forbid. I told her I will wait ooo.

Undeveloped sent second payment reminder to her on Jan 3.

Buyer assumed that she will pay extra VAT and started developing cold feet.

Those current with Namepros will remember the thread where Undeveloped explained thoroughly their VAT methods.

I smiled and explained the much I can to her that since she is from outside Europe, she won't have to pay any VAT. I also told her that I will tell Undeveloped to explain this to her. Undeveloped did and everyone was happy. LOL

Friday Jan 4th buyer paid. Praise God!

Undeveloped contacted me for domain transfer. Which I completed later in the day. But it was until Monday 7th that Undeveloped acknowledged it (they don't communicated weekends from my experience).

However, it was only on last Wednesday Jan. 9th that they sent the money ($1,365) to my dom account. They said ordinarily they ought to have sent it out within 1 business day from the time buyer paid, but because it was my first transaction, they had to make sure of certain things. They also rejected my request for Bitcoin payout because of the same reason. I can however request for Bitcoin payout from my second transaction.

Wire transfer takes 3-5 business days to hit your account.

Today is the 3rd day. Alert received around 1pm.

I had to write this long epistle not just our of joy, but to chronicle what it looks like dealing with Undeveloped.

Some sales may go smoother than mine, but this goes to show that if I never thought of searching this buyer on Facebook, probability of losing this sale would be high.

I registered 12 names with the $1 promo. Praying and hoping few more in same real estate subniche (sorry - won't reveal it for now) will sell.

As a newbie, and still learning. Try and target cities with population above 100,000

If you are searching your keyword on Google for endusers, if you see adverts appearing at the top of the serach engine results, that's a good sign that people want that keyword. So an enduser may like to have an EMD as his/her domain name.

Another tip. If you are setting your filters on Expireddomains, under Additional tab, at the bottom, tick the box that says Facebook Taken

It will show you domains that have Facebook Pages with the same names. For instance, if it lists lagosvetservices .com, it means you MAY see a Facebook Page with the handle @lagosvetservices

It doesn't always work but when it does, it is a plus. Just check if the FB Page is active. If the business has a website. Even if it has a website that goes by another/similar name, the business MAY want to own a name that matches their FB Page.

$1 promo give us a lot of room to lower our risks.

Meanwhile my alert says $1,345 instead of $1,365. I guess $20 has gone towards unexplained bank charges. Different story with different companies. When I sold some names on Namejet last year, I got the exact amount in my dom account.

Nothing spoil. To God be the Glory. More sales to us all!

PS: any typo? Pardon. Too happy to proofread. LOL.

That must have been an Auto reply. they may not be around. for your domains, as you wrote earlier that I said what works for me may not work for you, you're right, I don't buy such domains. I mainly buy based on CPC, End users popularity and Keyword competition.

However keep it up, more effort. You seems to be a fast learner and creative.

Best wishes.
Chief, these metrics, do you use the ones shown on Expireddomains, Google Keyword Tool, or any other site? Which site shows more realistic data for these indices? Daalu

Tip for the day
Am not a guru but i have done some research on my own just like Mr. Iyke says ' what works for you might not work for me '
so you can take it or not.
1. I just observed that some keywords like real estate, finance, crypto, designs etc sell for big benjamins.
2. Facebook and twitter are gold mines for outbounding but most people dont really know because they are too concerned with the search engines, forgeting that what they are searching for in America is is in Amelica.
I have 3 companies who said they will contact me soonest via facebook pages for a domain but i dont even know how soon. That was 2 days ago, after nextweek i will follow them up with another reply.
3. For some people who sent out outbound letters to Companies without response after 2 days. My assumption is that maybe they saw your letter but are about discussing it in their meetings.
The Ceo cant just buy anything without informing his Board of Directors and scrutinizing the said domain with his Members of the Round Table.
So if you send sales letter, chill for a week and resend a follow up If you gats no reply.
But if after 1 month and you neva get reply, my bloda the music don enter Joromi grin
4. One good rule of the thumb is 1 sales letter for 1 email. If you send in bulk and you go to buy akara only to get your akara balls wrapped with your sales letter dont come here and say i didnt warn you.
5. For all those using Expirednames.com to check traffic, monthly searches etc just be assured that your VP <Village People> are dancing shaku shaku with your money.
I was busy checking domain name searches via that site and blindly registered this crap nature313.com for my cool 1 dollar. Expired domains showed 1.4m monthly searches, cpc of like $1 and other enticing made up numbers, Only to discover to my horror that godaddy rated it less than $100. Even domainindex.com was like " Guy you dey use your head at all when u dey register domain? " when i entered that piece of shiit up there for appraisals.
So make sure you use godaddy, estibot, domainindex, trademarkia etc to scrutinize your prospecting domain name before registering, i dont want others to make same silly mistake i made twice.
6. Be fast but use your head when registering. Some people place bots in appraisals websites to extract entered domain names and they register it if its cool.
7. Try to add proffesionalism to your emails. Check, double check, triple check and if possible fouple check the sales letter composition before forwarding.
Also use online email designing website to add more authenticity to your emails. Not compulsory o. But it can help.
8. Also if you are a graphic designer, consider designing a well polished logo for your domain. Its just for aethestic appeal sha, nothing much.
Well i dont know? A good domain will sale no matter what.
.
.
Pls be positive in your reply to this.

Note am also a newbie. A newbie with research instincts.
Great tips. Thanks

You have no point!
It's a pity you have turned such a huge disgrace. À pro for that matter. I noticed you have become so highly and easily irritated these days. I hope it's not those small coins you get from your sales that have stuffed up your grey matter.

I still hold your domaining exploits in high regards, but your "longtime guruness" in domaining means NOTHING with this nauseating attitude you recently developed. Don't forget you were once a nonentity in domaining.

If you have nothing else to offer, leave us newbies alone. Allow us to pursue our ten ten kobo sales. Let us share what we have among each other.

We fall, we rise, we learn, we perfect. The spirit is the most important thing.

Now loading. networksolutions promo has been wonderful to me so far.

TIP; Newbie that's yet to make at least one sale for the past one month, FOCUS more on GEO domains that has high competition and CPC then range your price between $200-$450. it's a process.
Great. The CPC and Competition metrics, do you use the one on Expireddomains.net or Google Keyword tool?
BusinessRe: What To Do To Make Money Online? by tranxo(m): 6:30am On Jan 05, 2019
Nawaoo.

There is now a steady, and growing dislike towards Network Solutions domains among resellers on Namepros. They have started adding the clause, "No Network Solutions names."

Dem dey vex say we buy domain $1 wan sell am for $1,000? Lol.

I hope end users won't join this bad bandwagon

MY TESTIMONY IS LOADING.!!

PS:

For geo domainers, reduce your risk and increase your chances of selling by going for cities with at least a population of 100k. Another good point is, when searching your keywords on search engines for end users, the presence of adverts in your search results is a good sign. Nothing is cast in iron though. Just my 2kobo.

quite understood sir,
So categorically asserted that you can't list on more than one site per time as against the impression I had all along from this thread?
I just need to be clear on this thanks
Let me try and make this clearer to you.

1.) You can list your name for sale in as many sites as you want simultaneously.

2.) The site whose DNS you attached to your name is the site that will show when anyone goes directly to your domain name.

3) You site can be listed on 1 million sites but only one will show up when people click on, or go directly to your name.

4) People can still see your name for sale on all the other sites, ONLY of they go to those sites and type in your name in the search box.

So you can list on many sites, and use undeveloped's dns to host your primary for sale page.

The both roof types are functional(the flat and the pitched roofs). The difference in cost is mainly based by the height of the roof and materials used for the roof. A flat roof is bit cheaper than a pitched roof.
Flat roofs repairs and maintenance costs are also more expensive than pitched roofs. Pitch roofs are less prone to moisture damage. Therefore, a pitched roof may be more affordable in the long-term.
