If you've sold any waste removal or trash recycling related domain names in the past, could you please help me with your list of end users. Any city at all.
Thanks.
Had Bostonrubbishremoval once (never sold). If you need that, I can try to get the few leads I had across to you. Back then, my source of leads was only one.

Behankey:
you're not wrong. But there are banks that are actually stress free. Early days for me with FCMB but they're doing well.
Until you have issues with them, actually. I believe my best experience has been with GTB. Zenith appears to be doing well, too, and Stanbic IBTC may not be terrible. But you can see people complain even about these.
Business › Re: Why I Broke My WEMA Alat ATM Card And Stopped Going Cashless by U1(m):
OP, I doubt there is any perfect bank around here. This is Nigeria. Just choose the one whose ills you can live with or keep your money with you.

Different strokes for different folks, as they say. I transferred an amount I felt I could be able to transfer from my remaining Access Bank balance to Alat just last night.

Yeah, the Wema bank might not be perfect but it's still manageable for now. It's not compulsory, at least yet, to request an ATM card (I don't use one); online app still works smoothly, and the Twitter support is responsive.

I sent a complaint email to Access Bank since 26 March (and resent about two weeks ago). The only responses I got was an auto-reply of sorts that it'd take up to 72 hours to respond because of COVID-19. undecided

"Dear Dan"
Thanks for the tip, bro. I got something I could use from it!

For people using mail tracking add-ons, I think it's pertinent to note that the software is probably not up to 90 percent accurate. This particular email between my two Gmail accounts set off a "viewed" notification almost immediately, even though I wasn't using the second account at the time and it's not connected to the Gmail app.

SALES REPORT!


CustomOutdoorDesign //com
Sales price: $300
Sales Venue: Dan
Picked from: Expireddomains//net
Hold time: 8 months+

This is my first sale of the year! I'd admit the wait has been quite frustrating but I'm grateful to God for his Grace. I was inspired by and keyed into last month's numerous sales reports and this sale happened on the first day of this month after countless follow ups.

Appreciation to @ikhalyfah for help with withdrawal and To everyone that contributes to this thread one way or the other, I say Thank You!
Congrats, bro! More sales.

I was wondering: was that the original price you quoted for the domain name from the start?

Yeah. Tried it for the first time last week to delete what might have turned out a gem (KelleyConcrete in king), based on GoDaddy valuation that I checked afterwards. Felt the name was too specific and limited, so I decided to cut my "loss." huh

Sales alert!

Name: SanDiegoWaterDamageRepair in king
Price: $199
Type: Outbound
Venue: Dan
Hold time: 6 months

I did outbounding back in February, but no show (think I priced it at this same price then). I later inched the price up a little to $205 and then to $299. Felt the name was rather long.

Fast forward to last week when I got more emails . Spent hours weeding through a long list and got ready for fresh follow-up this week.

Yesterday, I decided to contact previous leads (about 20) first that I have reduced the price to $199.

Soon I got an offer of $149, which I countered with $179. The person offered $159 and I maintained my previous counter-offer mainly because I felt there's already a fresh list of leads waiting. He went quiet.

About 1-2 hours later, a message came in that the domain had sold for $199. Another person bought it! Na so my fresh list no just see action o. grin

I decided to share this experience mainly for others like me that are still learning. Maybe you might learn a thing, just maybe.

Thanks for the questions, let me use this opportunity to address some other questions I got asked:

***What filter do you always use on ED when choosing domain?


The first filter I make use of when selecting names from the drop(deleted) domain is my instinct/my gut - at least 55% of the time my instinct might be right.
So I will advice some of us newbies to always trust our instinct.

In doing this,will need basic knowledge of the industry- this thread, namepros and other domain related site can be of help.

Other filters- I keep it simple (kiss)

In the common section:

Under Domain name settings:
I always checked **No number
**No hyphen
**No consecutive hyphen
In the AdWords section:
I only rase my global AdWords to 1 or 2

Those are the only filters I use personally.

I no what you are thinking!

Who doesn't know all these? Right!

Well that's what I use and Seriously of all the filters, I trust my gut most and I believe most of our oga's can attest to that fact!

**The other thing I consider when I mediately spot a domain that appeal to me is what is the history of this domain, has it dropped before or is it just dropping for the first time. Is the dot net developed( I don't always look at this all the time but, if dot net is developed, your prime end-user to first contact is the dot net owner. But believe me the owner might disappoint by not buy most are times).

Tools that answer the questions


Hosterstats/king- my favourite GOTO
Web.archive/org

The above are the Oracle I consulted in a jiffy.

Another most important factor is who are the end-users: I quickly search the keywords on bing and Google to know the end-users.

As you can see there is nothing new in all these.

As regards to your questions:
immediately I register domain in a reputable registrar I start to outbound
I always got my leads by plug in the keywords of the domain in a search engine and visit their sites with the aid of snov and hunter I extract the email address and start outbounding.
Sometimes in the process, hunter and snov may not extract some site email addresses in that case I make use of contact form. Though this might not be effective as such but it works sometimes.

Different people have shared different methods of getting leads here on this thread, Facebook message and the stuff.

We do have some end-users who do not have any contact form, and no Facebook presence. If you are fortunate that the domain of such end-user is registered with GoDaddy you can contact the user through GoDaddy.

All you need to do is go to GoDaddy whoislookup put the URL of the site there, at the bottom of the whois info, you will see contact domain holder just click on it, you will to send short messages in which GoDaddy will forward to the registrant of the domain.
I have used this method and it works really well. I take no credit for this method cos I got the nugget from one of our oga here(haykay2005).
What is most important in this industry:
*** know your style and strategies.
I must say I sucks when it comes to brandables. Though I have some that were rejected by SH and I have some with BB but never made a sale, I even bought an ebook from one us here on brandable
**Keep learning
**Patience: let me quickly use @proxy94 sale's report as example, he bought portlandcondosforsale/king since last year and the domain got sold recently.
So for us that have not gotten sale I think we need to keep on pushing. Keep buying when you believe in a name after your research register it. Someone just sold mellowTiger/king here and some people were asking what motivated him to buy such name. Simple! is the knowledge of the industry and his gut that the domain will sell and here it is! It sold! The guy racked $2999

Sometimes I use to borrow money to buy names if I'm short of cash. In fact, the domain name avcphotostore/king that sold for 550$ I borrowed the money from my wife to register that name. And I only see one end-user for that name. But base on my gut I bought it, and it's sold.


I really want to say thank you to @ikhalyfah and others for Thier contributions.
I am currently test running boomerangemialtraking one of the nugget @ikhalyfah dropped one android outbounding. I sent a mail to a prospect on Friday and base on tracking he has viewed the 19 times. Though I don't know how reliable that tool is. But any how we move

#hope that helps
Such a detailed explanation. It sure helps! Thanks.

plz can u enlightened me on that
Sorry, I don't think I am in a position to "enlighten" you.

The only thing I can say is don't depend on everything people tell you. Do your own research! Google is there, especially when you already have a company name.

It's hard to find any company that will pay that high for the stipulated duration. If there's, it's only a matter of time before they either disappear or cut what they pay - the former is more likely.

***sales alert***
I tried reported these four days ago but mod slam me a ban
Avcphotostore.com
Sold $550
Negotiated. Sale venue: Dan
Hold:3weeks
Money still in Dan Escrow made this sale early this month but the domain registrar is sav, as we all know that dan is having issues with that registrar. Author code was sent since 3 days ago, Now the buyer refuses to initiate the transfer

Airnowservices.com
Sold $450
BIN. Sale venue: Epik
Hold: 72hours

TotalLogisticsolutions.com
Sold: $275
First got offer of $25 I didn't respond, buyer came to increase the offer to $30 I declined. All these happen between interval of a month.

I was furious with the man's offer so I went to jack up my bin from $350 to $750. This happened in December last year
Fast forward to this month, he came with offer of $125 I counter to $700 but pleaded that he can only afford $275 because of coro which I finally accepted.

All sold through outbound

Thanks to God and everyone on this thread. More sales to us all.
Congrats on your sales, bro. I wish you more.

Please I have a couple of questions I wish you could help with:

1. Do you start outbounding as soon as you register a name and don't you have problem with getting buyers to register an account with your registrar? I wish to know this because of the 60-day lock.

2. Since you did outbounding for TotalLogisticsolutions and avcphotostore, could you share how you got leads? Was it just by searching the keywords on Google?

Thanks.

AYORICH:
That bounce is much and your sender IP and reputation would be affected once u reach a certain amount. You just have to be careful because some emails expires and are bought by ISP for spam trap. Once you send to those emails your reputations will sink(including your email) . So try to scrutinize your emails before you send ,remember your IP on the long run .Don't get blacklisted.
What about most of us in Naija who share mobile Telco IPs? Certainly, some people will be doing something illegal with the same or not give a hoot. So, it is not necessarily just about you.

I think the message content matters more. If many people are marking your messages as spam, it's a matter of time before the majority starts ending in spam folders.

Next time if you are going for domain with "rental" always go for the plural version "rentals" sorry westpalmrentals is taken already and listed for over 4k
Plurals aren't better in all cases. Between "citypartybusrental" and "citypartybusrentals," which do you think would be more attractive?

Also, most people (including end-users) would prefer something like "roofrepair" to "roofrepairs."
