Now where is the one she built for her father .. Now i understand what ubunja is talking about.

What if the father wasn't responsible?

MURIC strongly decries this ding-dong affair. Procrastination is the thief of time and justice delayed is justice denied. Both Sadiya’s father and mother went through a long period of trauma. The pain of losing his daughter killed Mallam Idris and the mother, now widowed, is still suffering from the pangs of the horrible seven-year experience.

Now widowed or orphaned?

Prof., the writer was right! Does a woman become orphaned after her husband does?

Sapiosexuality:
Exactly. How?

Bro, this shows that you have not read this thread very well or you've not been taking notes.

While you can list your domains at different marketplaces, you can use the nameservers of only one of them.

You will easily see where to list your domains on each marketplace by going to the portfolio section. When there, you will see an option to add domains (Domain Importer on DAN, if I remember correctly).

Fill in the nameserver detais of your preferred marketplace (e.g. DAN) into the nameserver fields at your registrar for each domain name that you list.

If you don't know how to change nameservers, try searching for something like "change nameservers Dynadot" assuming the registrar is Dynadot.

Sapiosexuality:
please, how do you list on different registrars? I know this question has been answered before but the column to input seem to have changed.

I don't. Different marketplaces, yes.

Hello ikhalyfah, U1,

My forner email i used for outbound was disabled so i tried to get it back all to no avail... Anyway i eventually opened another mail yesterday and i have like 160 end users to mail...

My question is if i sent the 160 mail one by one till i finish it, i hope my new account will not be disabled again due to high influx of message sent for a new email address...

Sorry for the late response, bro. Just checking since the previous post.

I can see your question has been answered, though.

If this doesn't sound too hard, I'd suggest you send no more than 20 emails a day when starting with a new email address. This is not a rule; just an observation.

Also, make sure you avoid mail merge with that new email address for now. Send emails manually.

I currently have a Gmail address that starts bouncing emails from around after the first 15 emails sent, so it's useless for outbounding. I guess the mistake I made was attempting to do a mail merge for outbounding when the account was newly opened. Practically all the emails I attempted to send with the merge in that attempt bounced.

Let me leave an observation here: be careful of what free tools you use for verifying emails, particularly for bulk verification. Consider using a paid option instead.

I have tried the free bulk tools by H-supertools and hqhow at different times; the results were disappointing. They often marked valid email addressess as invalid. I could have easily missed many valid addresses had I not been observant.

If you can't afford to pay for verification yet, please make do with manual or single email verification. MailTester used to be helpful for this but not anymore. I recently found that Verifyemailaddress/org isn't as bad for single email verifications as I had thought all this time.

That is funny tho but it's Gods grace.
I only contacted just 30 endusers the day i reg the name. BIN was $299 but received an offer of $250 and i accepted. Buyer went mute for hours until Dan sent a payment reminder after 24hrs i got the offer. I copied the buyer name from Dan and type it on my Google chrome search box by adding oregoncoast realtor with the name and google narrow it down directly to his website and email. I just copied his email and import it to Dan lead and also sent him a reminder myself. He replied that he didn't know how to proceed to payment after accepting the offer. Immediately i imported his email on dan he paid 15mins after. I pushed the name and the whole transaction was completed within 3hrs.
I was also charged 5% commission instead of 9% because i imported his details on Dan lead

Whoa, that's an interesting experience.

Just like Bethanybeachhomesforsale.com that I sold last week.

I have many unsold realestate domains but just decided to add this to my portfolio, as picked from Ed but it ended up getting sold in one day for $300

Asking price was $350 though.

That's a wow! Another name I doubt I'd have registered.

Congrats, baba. Oil dey your head!
I doubt if I'd register this if I saw it, though. Inside life.

slimjosh43:
It's easier for them to outbound names and sell at a higher price cos of credibility. Ask yourself that we do need Rob to close a sale?
It's because once they hear a fellow white guy talk about the same name...it sells!!!

Well, you might have a point there. But how likely are they to get every name sold to justify backordering?

There was a video I saw on YouTube at a time of one white guy talking about his experiment with GEOs. He sold only one out of like 40 domains, if I remember correctly.

Go on Namepros and you'd see some of them say it's a lot of work selling GEO domain names, so they focus on non-GEOs. They consider all these emails we send as spam, and more so when we follow up.

While I have yet to report ANY sales (personal or otherwise) on Namepros, I am struggling to link low sale figures reported as the reason for this backordering stuff.

By the way, I checked the Yogi guy days ago when someone mentioned him. Found that he also sold names for low figures!

kimjongJezebel:
Una continue dey report GEO sales on Namepros, selling a name for $100, $200, instead of reporting only here, u people will run to namepros to report and those people think you're giving the name away for penny and would spoil the market for them. Most of them that were never into Geo, seeing some of those reports have decided to backorder them and keep them on their portfolios without outbounding. So, very soon the white guys won't you let people see shishi Geo names to buy until una get sense.

Um, what do you mean by "una"? Your post seems to suggest that I report sales on Namepros as well. Maybe there's something I'm missing.

As for those folks (Westerners) rushing to backorder GEO domain names, I can only say "Good luck" to them. The kind of work we do for 100-200 bucks sales and names that never get sold aren't really worthwhile for many of them.

Hey guys, it's been a while.
I currently scrape leads for domains on google maps and yellow page as an extra. If you are interested, send me a message.
My Whatsapp is in the description of this message.

Google maps, really? How much would that cost?

Adesarm:
So i thought i should share my experience with DAN. Sold a domain 2wks ago for $270 and my payout option was automatically changed to wire transfer. I reached out to DAN by tagging simon that i didn't request for a wire transfer payout option but rather throughout BTC. 24hrs later they switched back the payout to crypto which was my initial payout option with them and the payment was sent to my luno address. On Thursday night i got a credit alert from my bank for the same payment i already received through my BTC tho it was minimal due to the exchange rate compared to the BTC rate i already received. It was so tempting but i decided to reach out to DAN notifying them that i received a double payment for the domain name.
James from DAN replied my message by thanking me for being honest and sincere and we both tried to look for way to send the payment back to them. James later send me a message to keep the second payout as a reward for my honesty.
Indeed it pays to be honest.

I'm so proud of you, bro! May God continue to bless you for your honesty.

This reminds me of something I posted on my WhatsApp status yesterday: if honesty doesn't appear to pay in this life, it certainly will in the next.

Also, the incident brings to mind something similar that happened with Namesilo about 2-3 years ago when I started using BTC for accepting withdrawals. An initial payment wasn't confirmed even after waiting for days so they issued another. The second one cleared first and later I noticed my balance had increased by more than I expected.

I got in touch with Namesilo about this observation. But, unlike them, they didn't respond to my message. I thought maybe the money wasn't real (didn't understand BTC transactions that much then) until I decided to spend half of it several months later.

I had to contact the company again after this. They didn't respond again.

But I have been careful to leave the same BTC amount in my wallet until they either reach out or I have to spend it.

Scholarsticchai:
An you give me scope on how you outbound

Sorry, bro, there's really nothing significant to tell. I still dey learn.

I think the only things that are worth noting are already stated here:

Eromzi:
For those making sales, whats the topic used for mails sent? I have been using the domain i want to sell.
Any other suggestion

Some pros in this stuff use the same thing as you. Therefore, I think you're in good company.

But you may try using domain keywords only - that's what I use. Let's say you have twowords.com as your domain name; use "Two Words" as the subject without the commas.

I got this idea from Namepros some months ago while researching for better subject lines. It made sense to me.

nkeona:
The way geo domains are backorder this days is not funny at all.

This is getting scary o. For days now, I haven't seen any GEO domain name that's worth regging for me. I hope these people get tired soon enough.

How man go dey shell out at least about 60 bucks to dropcatch a name that might not get sold.

I guess it's time to start looking at names more than 1-2 times before letting them drop. Make man kuku renew a good name for more years fit better pass this dropcatching o.

lajid:
Please do you normally add price to your sales letter or not?

Bro, I am honestly confused about what style to stick with, so please don't take whatever I state as a rule.

I used to add price (until last year) but stopped earlier this year after reading up more, both here and at Namepros. However, I have started including prices again, partly because of some comments I read (including one by Ikhalyfah) and my plan to stop disturbing probably uninterested leads with follow-up emails.

I resumed inclusion of prices in initial emails around two weeks ago. The Brookline name was one of the firsts I did that for.

crudedude:
You had a great month bro. The sales may not be up to $350 each but they do add up nicely . Congratulations

@bolded I worry about this and stop sending follow ups on some older geos of mine after a while. I feel it's pestering endusers. I should probably do give away for one or two of these domains

How often do you send follow up/reduction emails over the year on a single domain? can you share the letter you use?

You can say that again, sir! Thanks.

As I noted initially, I wasn't comfortable about disturbing leads with unsolicited emails. I'm, therefore, tentative when it comes to following up.

For most of this year, I first sent out a short email without price. I then followed up with the price and how to buy 3-6 days later. I wasn't convinced that method did anything until the experience with the Florida name.

I can't really put a number to the times I followed up. The model I have worked with for the most of this year targeted 2-3 follow-ups. However, the target is two follow-ups max for the current one that involves including price in my initial emails.

But note that I have seen people that make more sales suggesting that they follow up several times more. You may see if that works for you, too.

I can change my current approach any time I come across something more convincing.

It's not just about letters, bro, but more about grace and the names you're blessed to own. There are numerous letter samples here. You simply need to take a look at each one and see what would make a nice addition to the current one you're using. I pick idea from here and there myself.

Grace and favour to us all.

Glory and thanks to God Almighty!

October made it the first time I sold more than two domain names in a month , although the sales figures might not seem so awesome for some people here.

That feat, however, is behind why I decided to share these reports. Maybe someone could get some encouragement from them. Progress. We shall get there.

The reports (all names in .com):

Name - Denver/Bail/Bonds/Service
Price sold - 100
Sale type - Outbound (reduced & followed up)
Hold time - 9+ months

Name - Florida/RV/Repair
Price sold - 299
Sale type - Outbound
Hold time - <2 months

Name - Austin/TX/Home/Loans
Price sold - 100
Sale type - Outbound (reduced & followed up)
Hold time - 9 months

Name - The/Brookline/Dentist
Price sold - 250
Sale type - Outbound
Hold time - 10 days

Name - Jacksonville/Foot/Care
Price sold - 299
Sale type - Outbound (reduced & followed up)
Hold time - 6+ months

Personal Notes

- The total sales value for October was the highest I have managed in any month all these years!

- I outbounded for names that were under 60 days lock for the first time to see what could go wrong; sold two of those. I usually waited until after 60 days.

- With the Florida sale, I experienced the dreaded DAN payment issue first-hand. I might not have been aware of it were it not for the follow-up I did to all contacts after the initial emails. I was contemplating to stop doing follow-ups that don't involve price reduction because I didn't notice any benefits; only apparent inconvenience to leads. But this incident has made me rather confused about whether to stick to that decision.

- The Brookline name was probably the first I had registered in a long time for a city having not close to 100,000 inhabitants. I just decided to give it a try seeing that some people here have sold names for smaller cities.

- I didn't plan the follow-up that led to the Jacksonville name sale. While reading some posts on the thread last Friday, I saw a suggestion to offer Halloween discounts. I just decided to do that for the name and one other; got the sale notification in the night. Strange thing is that I was prepared to renew that name if it didn't sell.

Keep the hope alive if you are still hoping for your first sales. These reports are mainly intended to encourage anyone that might be feeling unlucky (like me ).

Let's keep learning everyday - this thread helps a lot! I found out many folks that became aware of this stuff after me don become bosses; I am not too shy or proud to learn from them. You gats to gba f'oga e anyhow.

The next milestone I'm targeting now are sales greater than $350. Good luck and more sales to us all in Jesus's name.

Please I need tips from people that have sold a GEO domain name, or even any non-brandable one, for at least $400 before.

What do you consider before setting those prices, please?

I have never managed a sale that high before because "fear" dey catch me sometimes make I no too overprice. But as Budosky once pointed out one can't sell for a high amount if you don't request for the high amount in the first place.

Please help my ministry, somebody!

Anyone?

I have been trying to see if low response rate of email recipients can cause a Gmail account to be blocked but no success yet.

Does anyone here have an idea about this, please?

I thought you did, I didn't hear from you. Inbox me let me give another (updated) version.

Done, thanks.

Two options:

1. Use boomerang to send your mails and it won't be blocked

2. Email warming: this is the process of sending mails from a new email in other to create activity (u can achieve this by sending and receiving emails from family members and friends for like a month) before you start using the email account for mass outbound. Hope I could help. I be newbie o

Thanks, bro. But I don't think Boomerang has anything to do with preventing having an email account disabled.

ElonMosque:
You can use streak - 50 mails per account . I believe you can also use the Mail merge for follow up - just use the same subject line and the message will automatically fall under the previous ones you sent out ( not 100% sure). It’s best not to send more than 50 mails per day regardless of the age of the account, after the 50th mail is when bad things happen

I appreciate the tip, bro.

I actually send more than 50 emails per day, especially when I include follow-ups.

I don't send more than 2-4 emails to each lead over a year validity of a domain name, though. Yet, I have read of people who send follow-up emails up to like 6-8 times. I wonder how they manage it.

Prinss:
Bonjour monsieur,

Have you tried the tool on #3 below?? I have used it with all my email accts and sent over 2000 mails. I have never received the word blocked from Google.

I wish I could, boss. But I didn't manage to get the previous package I got from you to work, specifically the scraper that I was mainly interested in. Remember me?

Experienced "outbounders" in the house, please I wish to know what you do to avoid getting your email accounts disabled or closed. Do you use a paid solution? If yes, what's it please?

I have read from people that said their accounts were disabled and not restored. I'm trying to avoid that. I got a scare in that direction this evening.

@NkShallom, I think I read sometime ago that you send outbound emails manually. How do you keep up with that? I'm thinking of going back to that but the amount of work I see ahead is a bit...

^^^La click la bend.
