Log into your epik account.

Scroll down to add domains, on it, add domain name you want to list it will be added to the list of your epik domains.

Then right click beside the domain after refreshing your dashboard and click on marketplace to set up listing.

Go back to where domain is registered amd change nameservers to that of epik

Ns3@epik.com
And
Ns4@epik.com.

Thanks, boss. Please would I be required to transfer to Epik (and pay for that) if a name is sold there?

Bosses in the know, please I wish to know how to go about listing a domain name registered elsewhere on the Epik Marketplace. Can someone help?

Will I need to transfer the name to Epik (and pay for that) to be able to sell there? Thanks.

AMZYMAYO:
Yes. I get loads of unsolicited calls. What do I do? Once I picked and it isn't an enduser, I disconnect immediately. Most calls are for donations, or some are from prospects trying to sell to you (real estates and the likes).

If it is the latter, I carefully explain to them about my email content and they often say "we will relay your message to our marketing department."

So, I'll advise you to pick all calls. You never can tell if the one calling is a prospect...or another time waster

Thanks!

AwesomeDuru:
You're not alone bro, I also get these random messages and calls.

Personally, I feel Dingtone recycles numbers that have been used and left by previous owners.

Sometimes though, some of the calls are from websites/contact forms you filled while outbounding and they are only following up.

I get random texts/whatsapp messages all the time from people I have no clue how they got the number.

See screenshots of two instances.

I agree with the bold. I think it's too much of a coincidence that people are calling my number, even before I used them for completing a few online contact forms.

People who use Dingtone numbers here I would like to know if you also get random calls.

I have only used the number to call one person (ended in a sale about a week later).

But I also notice that random numbers frequently call the number - mostly see missed call notifications. I have only picked one of these calls (seems a robocall).

Now, I am considering adding this number to outbound emails, but these unsolicited calls could make it hard telling what calls are relevant.

NEYO4U:
Good morning to all the bosses in the house. Pls i need your advice on a particular domain that is about to expire and one end user has shown interest to buy for $80 which i have agreed but dan where i listed the domain dont allow any listing below $100. Pls what can i do. Is it possible to sell the domain on dynadot where i registered it for $80 or what is the best way to go about it. Pls Advive

I once had a difficulty doing this when I was more desperate to make sales by setting sub $100 prices out of the door. It appears the default price on Dan is $100.

If I remember correctly, you can set this to whatever you want via "Account settings" in your Dan account.

Don't sell via Dynadot, except you want to use the money to buy more domains.

cyriletifit:
Thanks bro, but I'm not a boss yet oo.

1. I didn't reduce price each time I do that. But I plan on doing that. Maybe start with, $205 then second follow up could be $165. I do this for my domains expiring in a month time.

2. 5 to 7 days.

3. No! I rarely do that. I use mail merge.

4. Yes!

Hope this helps.

It does help. Thanks!

I don't really like writing much words. Last month has taught me a lot.

I had some names expiring this month (about 14 GEOs), so I decided to reduce price and follow up again. Sold 2 during first follow up. Sold another 2 during second follow up still with reduced price. So 4 sales out of the 14 GEOs. I can use one sale to renew them all.

Also I bought a name last month, (highest sale in the list), did outbound the following day. Got 5 interested buyers. One went to buy the singular version probably because of my price. Another person called me and asked if it a scam. I cleared his doubt by pushing the domain to his dynadot account before he paid me. He was very happy.

The lessons;

1. Always follow up till the die minute.

2. For a quick flip especially those with large portfolio, put a reasonable price.

3. Check if the singular or plural version of your name is available. Act professionally if interest are flowing for the domain.

4. Call a buyer if he/she request for it ( I can help with that for a fee).

5. Dan doesn't have problems. I totally love them now.

Thanks! Please share your experiences for last month if possible.

More sales to us all. October to remember.

Congrats, bro. You're doing well.

You're now among the people I look up to on this thread - those who sell three or more names in a month or sold a name for more than $350. Una be bosses!

Please I have some questions, if you have the time to answer them:

1. You wrote that you followed up for some expiring domains up to two times. Did you reduce the price each time you followed up? If not, what was the message of each follow-up email?

2. Like how many days apart did you send the two follow-up emails?

3. Did you send all those emails manually?

4. I got the impression that you include your phone number in emails. Is that correct?

Thanks.

Abeg, I fit send you a PM? Would appreciate a tip or two. Seems I still have a lot to learn.

U1:
But wait o, you sure say the domain name go still dey when you are done with your research on ExpiredDomains names?

There have been times when I saw a name snapped up within just like two minutes of dropping. A good example was AtlantaLaborLawyer in king.

Just found out the person that snapped this name has sold it on Dan. Took a long time somewhat.

YoungandDepress, take it softly. Life can be hard, but don't let it break you. Did you really mean 23 or 33? If it's the former, I must say you worry a lot! At that age, I was just starting 100L, mainly due to financial issues.

Keep pushing and give it time. You will get better by either getting what you want or realising that you don't need to have some things to be happy.

I'm not where I wished or people expected me to be yet. But I don't worry so much about that anymore - I get over worries more easily now with the help of God.

I'd love for you to get the spoken word song "Everybody's free" by Baz Luhrmann, or its lyrics, and assimilate the message. Here's one of my favourite songs. A line in it goes somewhat like this: "some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't (know what they want to do with their lives)."

Breath slowly. You still have a lot of opportunities waiting for you. And please correct your impression about God.

Xinchao, this phase shall pass, too. Hold on, stay strong, and keep pushing. I know that feeling (older), but just keep making efforts to get by and improve.

Most importantly, hold on to God like your entire life depends on Him - of course, it does! Cheers!

You can either take a bus from oshodi going to Ikeja along or Ikeja inside, from Ikeja computer village enter bus going to Ojodu-Berger, tell the driver/conductor you are alighting at Hotel busstop/Omole gate

2nd option
From Oshodi enter a bus going to Ojota, when you get to Ojota use the over head bridge and cross the road into Olosuso side/kudirat abiola way, enter bus from there going to Ojodu-Berger

Thanks, you did well.

The impact is obvious: more inflation.

I wonder what's the sense in not just devaluing the Naira when it's increasingly losing value in practice, partly as a result of recent policies.

What is there to celebrate. Guy no provoke me Abeg

Thank you for not disappointing me. Na replies like this one I come check.

richkal:
in order words, he is asking that what makes this domain name worth more than $10??
As for me, I would reply thus;


Hi (His First Name),

At first, thanks for the honest feedback.

You are very right, it costs nothing more than $10 to register a new domain name.

But the case is quite different with the domain name I am pitching to you here.

The domain name is unique, as it is city specific and carries your business keywords.

The domain name is suitable for attracting search engine traffic and in turn you gain more customers almost free.

A domain name with above criteria is rare, hard to find and can NOT be acquire with just $10.

If you are still interested in this domain name, just click on the link below to purchase it ASAP. Thanks


Best Regard
Name
Link

P.s: Some prospects are also showing interest in the domain name, if you want it act fast to avoid missing out.

Edit to suit your taste bro. This is my little contribution, I hope it will help. Wish you best of luck. More sales to us bro.

Damn, some people good sha! I'm impressed.

If anyone searches for '[Your domain keywords]' on Google, owning this domain could make your site be the first they see.

This is cool. Please let's not copy and paste, though.

Hello . Been long I reported sales here. Got this earlier this morning.

broward//windows.com
Registered on August 14 - $8.75 via dynadot

I Did outbounding then at around $250 or so. One guy priced it $10. No problem, I didn't reply him. Some days ago, I changed most of my buy it now prices to $499. I woke up this morning to got this email alert. No follow up. All thanks to God Almighty.

Wow, congrats! This kain thing dey sweet me.

logan2:
Bosses in the house please between
Attorney and lawyer which one is preferred.
And also is the plural preferred to the singular? Thanks

If we're talking about the U.S. here, I'd go for attorney first and the singular form. Lawyer is the second option for me. Well, that's just me.

LadySarah:
U1, I have actually mailed cbn and even replied and acknowledged my complaint but close to a mth nw I haven't heard from anyone of them.

Wow. Now, that's disappointing. What a country.

I'm at a loss why things can't work as they are meant to in this country. It's like people just bastardise everything!

In my mind, I think it should be easy to trace transactions since we are talking about technology here. Isn't Opay receiving money into an account in Nigeria? What makes it so hard to simply track payments in and out of an account? Even with all the talk about anonymity, some governments can still trace bitcoin transactions if they want to.

Yet, CBN will be shouting cashless this cashless that when it doesn't seem to be doing enough about smooth implementation. This is a reason I don't use my bank cards for POS transactions. I also prefer paying over the counter to doing interbank transfers via my device if I have the time because of this.

LadySarah, you may still want to contact CBN's CPD about this if you haven't. Who knows, they might weigh in on the matter even if they don't respond to your complaint directly.

For over two months recently, Union Bank wouldn't let me send money out of an account I opened with it via its app. I sent many messages and mails and visited a nearest branch for about 7-8 times (spending a full day there on some occasions) but nothing was done. I think the issue was resolved three days after I contacted the CBN department, even though I never got a direct response from it. A coincidence?

Mayoorcity:
Thanks.

It's actually a short one.

The name was bought with the intention of selling to end-users outside the .com category. (Because most will likely reply with a response of the extension being use for NON-Profit activities, which is right ).

After purchase, the name was listed on epik.com marketplace.

Then the hunt began.

Many may be familiar with this but let me share..

I decided to search in a sorted way on google by using this command;

Site:.org Insurance Texas (Meaning it will bring only .org organizations with the keywords)

And that was it, I did an outbound to one end user, few minutes later buyer proceed to buy.

And that was it.

All happened in a day! The same day it was listed on epik.com. it sold!

Glory be to God.

4th .org sale this year..

Cheers..

Insightful!

I doubt if I'd register this type of name in .org. Even if I did, I'd probably not price it more than $200. See life? That's why it pays to go with gut feeling occasionally.

I caught a glimpse of someone reporting a "busrentals" name sale. I saw several of those in the past week or so and I ignored. $100 no be small money for Naija o.

The bold is somewhat a new one to me. Although I have known about that search operator (and several others) for many years, I have never used it in that way. I used ".net" with keywords and the results weren't always fantastic. Nice one.

Very true, going to the state government pox,
Baba just thank God, some stingy father's won't even let you know they have account with such money then they'll now die suddenly, it's either one bank staff move the money or after 10years the money get moved to CBN.
Some men are stupid sha, how can you decide to dash government your life savings instead of disclosing your accounts to your wife or child even if they don't know the balance at least they have the number

This post would have made perfect sense but for the focus on men only.

Na only men get money for bank? How about women who work and keep all their money leaving it to the husband to singly fend for the family?
