Thanks bro. Actually, the GoDaddy appraisal valued it at $1,300 that's why I get mind for that price.

Congratulations on the sale, bro!

But that GD appraisal doesn't count for much. I have had domains appraised higher not sold for even 100 bucks. This is a miraculous sale IMHO.

Learn Forex trading. It’s a skillset . Should take you about 3 months, if you are a fast learner and when you get the US you can take money from your job and fund your account to trade

So Forex trading is so easy to master for consistent, sustainable trading after learning for just three months? Tell me how, please!

This move may help launder their reputation to some extent. Frauds use these online banks a lot, going by my observation.

I think there are at least about three spammers on this thread, even on this very page. Can moderators do something about them?

Good day house

what skills can I learn on coursera or udemy in a short period and I will be executing my projects without looking for jobs.

I know many people have learnt one skill or the other on the platform and are now doing well on their own. please you can share such experience.

Thanks, looking forward to hearing from people.

Sorry, I have no clue. But please do keep me posted if you do find any.

UPDATE: You may check this thread for ideas, in case you haven't seen it: https://www.nairaland.com/7765161/what-should-learn-space-2

Mirasteel:
Message me with the Telegram handle on my signature.

Thanks for your response.

But that's the problem and what the "story" I wrote in the second paragraph was about: I am not allowed to message people whose numbers I do not have saved on my contact list. Those people have to message me first.

It seemed I was ban and I have contacted Telegram support repeatedly on it but no response. I decided not to bother again since I rarely send messages anyway.

MrEja:
is it advisable i buy on spaceship, please what are the cons? can i transfer out, just find out that the promo is valid, can i also apply it to other domains or just one?

Just seeing your post. I wasn't using Spaceship previously, so I can't say much about it.

I registered an account two days ago to take advantage of a couple of coupons. But, they claimed I was using a VPN or proxy (which wasn't true) - my Nigerian IP address was showing. I couldn't use the coupons and support refused to budge, so I aborted the mission.

KOLLEE:
Spaceship is bigger than one dot com o. $2.8 is the cheapest promo.

You're right.

I later went on to research more about the two. Found out Spaceship was recently launched by Name//Che.a.p, so it has more credence sorta. One just seemed like a name I had been seeing around for a longer time.

Zxcvbnmghtr:
You are right. But lol the worst of tenants is a police.

E be like say you get experience.

Do you have a channel? Or may I have the number you use for your Telegram account?

For like over a year now, I cannot message people not on my contact list. I don't flout rules and I have asked Telegram support to look into the ban repeatedly without any response. I don't know if this happened before or after I switched to a new phone number.

Zxcvbnmghtr:
I still wonder why most people don't like to pay their rent until they are embarrassed.
It is sheer wickedness by most tenants.

I believe this is why some landlords would want to know where a person works before they can grant them tenancy. That doesn't guarantee anything!

As a landlord, just pray God gives you conscientious and honest tenants instead of just focusing on where they work.

KOLLEE:
Spaceship dot com have the sweetest promo with cheaper renewal. one dot com renewal fee is outrageous ($26.99).

But One sounds to me like a more reliable registrar, though. I may be wrong sha.

I'm actually tempted by the 5.99 offer. However, unlike, I would transfer out if I do go ahead with it.

Fourth-Quarter Sales (first to last)

Name: Florida//Bail//Bondsmen (in king)
Source: ED
SP: $399
Type: Re-Outbound
Venue: Afternic
HT: 11 months (one renewal)

Name: STL//Dumpster//Rental (in king)
Source: ED
SP: $495 (BIN)
Type: Inbound
Venue: DAN (Reseller Network)
HT: ~53 days

Name: Play//Bettr (in king)
Source: Formed/Generated
SP: $688 (BIN)
Type: Inbound
Venue: Afternic
HT: 22+ months

And the story...

I did outbound marketing again for the Florida name about five months after I made the last attempt. I had hiked the DAN price to 495 after no show the previous time. But I forgot that I listed it separately on Afternic at the old price - I had been listing only on DAN and syncing with Afternic for some months. Still happy with the sale!

I think the STL name was my first Geo that got sold before doing any outreach and within the first 60 days. That name was actually a punt of sort because I had no luck with previous St. Louis names (like 3 or 4), although this was the first in abbreviated form.

The two names above sold around the first week of October. The third sale didn't come until when I was preparing to leave for a New Year's Eve church programme. 🙂

The third name had been listed on SH for almost two years. I had listed hundreds of names there without a sale since joining in 2020, with many now expired. However, I had only one Premium listing there until around November/December when more were accepted bringing the total to 37. This sale came weeks after I decided to switch the nameservers of the remaining Standard listings to DAN and reduce prices.

More successes for us all in Jesus name. Glory to God!

If to say money dey ehn, I for like be like dem beckplanet. Doing no outbound or very little.

Keyword research and content velocity.

Do you know your keyword research?

Write for keyword you can rank on first page of Google that fits your site needs.

Can you write content everyday for 3 months?

Haggai247 is doing free keyword research for serious bloggers as at last year dec 27 at least that was what he told me.

When I got Tony Hill content renaissance and affiliatesLabs by M.att digi.ddy from him.

A little caveat.

You've to invest in sem.Rush account.

A little heads up he's a course seller that's where I got my courses from.

.
I appreciate your time and response.

On the bold, does it mean you pay at least $129.95 monthly to use SEMRush?

online4business:
Who give you that notion? The human brain can learn anything at any age.

John Carlton started learning copywriting at more than 35 years and he's one of the best.

If you want to learn any skill get a mentor it cut down the learning curve.

Na person wey no sabi dey day work hard.

I have been a publisher on kdp I made the mistake most people make I was saving pennies to learn myself and it took years before I figured anything.

I was making $$$ steady When I figured everything but I made a mistake my account was banned image copyright.

I leave Amazon go to blogging people say blogging is hard it take years before you can earn.

I say let me not start this blogging like kdp let me invest in knowledge.

I did and guess what in less than 5 months I've recouping all the money spent to set up the blog.

Here's the best part... The blog is not worth more $$$ if I decide to sell it.

The essences of my rant is invest in knowledge for anything you want to learn... It'll be a piece of cake.

Hello. Care to share how you took the blog to earning within five months, please?

DELETED

Nice one right there, Seun! But I bet those who wouldn't be impressed won't. I'm just seeing this thread today by the way.

I knew the forum has grown too big for the existing moderators to moderate. I stated this in an almost heated argument I had in a WhatsApp group about a couple of weeks ago when some people were accusing you along the line you stated.

In my mind, I think mostly younger people and shallow-thinking older folks would accuse you as being complicit in the tribalism. The evidence is right there for anyone who cares to see them.

However, I would ask you to consider looking into the working of the moderating bot. It has banned me several times for posts that weren't against any rules. The post for which a ban was issued would be indicated but no reason provided.

What's special or terrible about marrying at 35? Those of us older than that should do what, sir? I don't pray you have to wait until then, though.

Don't give up yet, if you have passion for what you do. It will eventually pay off in that case. Just keep seeing or learning what you can do to try and improve your opportunities.

You wrote that you're into marketing previously. Why not consider continuing to do that, at least on a part-time basis, for some earnings to take care of your expenses in the meantime. If that's not digital marketing, you may also explore that.

epainos:
Lol. Not everyone will learn tech....sit down there. Tech is taking over everything...yes...you may not go into the core areas, but anything you learn now, tech must be involved....else...you will serve those who learned it. Shikena. If you like ....keep arguing...those who argued in the past and kept selling newspapers regretted it. Go ask Kodak how they lost out of the digital photography business...and do you think people buy manual gear system cars or SUVs again? Only those danfo (commercial) boys...and in the next 10 years max...they will all run out of business. So, they have to pick up modern vehicles and use tech. Ride-sharing will crush everything in 10 years. Mark my words. So, stay there.... don't move with the trend.

You either grow with disruptive innovations by being an early adopter or go in somehow when many are (the stage we are in now cos early adopters are now leaders). If you don't, you will be crushed.

So, in summary, were you saying that everyone has the capacity to learn money-making tech skills? That's what I think the person you quoted had in mind, not simply the ability to use tech devices.

They still had the gut to send this! It's probably automated, I guess.

You fellows are just joking. ^^

Duplicate post

I just wanted to warn anyone who might stumble on RillaHost and wants to sign up for a hosting package with them. They are unresponsive, stay away!!!

I discovered about two weeks ago that a personal site I hosted with them was down. I emailed them to find out why. However, I have yet to receive a response until now.

I later found out on X that some people had complained about something similar around September or October. They never responded to those people.

At that point, I figured maybe my site had even been down for months because I rarely check or post on it. Worse, I haven't been downloading backups this year, unlike me.

This is the worst hosting company I have come across. With this experience, I am now scared to try another Nigerian or obscure hosting company again!

PS: I'm issuing this warning because their website was still up. Would have done so days ago but the forum was down.

Congrats to tayorh, James39, and all other recent sellers. More sales for us all in Jesus name.

Just thought I should mention that we should be checking not only the spam scores of expired domains but also those of the generated ones (the so-called "hang reg"). Many of these were also registered in the past before being dropped.

I think I only started doing this late last year or this year. After I noticed a very high spam score for a "potential" brandable that I generated recently, I decided to check the spam scores of practically all the domains in my portfolio that I hadn't checked in the past. Found that a few had somewhat high spam scores, including some that I have owned for 2-3 years.

Shame on the Nigerian government

Godddd

Sorry, was the government the only group you saw as the problem from the write-up up there?

Keep hope alive, sis. I really understand how you feel. There are many other people in the same shoes in this country.

I heard a man lamenting on radio this morning that even PhD graduates were finding it hard to get jobs.

Sometimes, graduating from a higher institution can appear like a "setup." Many graduates find it hard to go back and start learning trades that they didn't opt for originally and that don't require higher education.

However, please reconsider the idea of not wanting to marry a non-graduate. Being a graduate does not mean a person is wise or right-thinking, as the general elections of this year showed.

don22:
Yes. Just as shared.

Okay, thanks.

iykepromotions:
1. Yes and gave them specific time to get it for $100. Once the time expired, I increased it back to $500. But I saw lots of clicks reason I contacted them to know why they didn't buy. One replied and I gave him the opportunity to get it for that $100 if he can pay immediately. That was it.

2. About 2 days.

Thanks, boss.

Subject: AlpharettaRoofer (.) com - Final Offer ($100)

Hi {{Name}},

I hope you are good.

You expressed interest in the domain - AlpharettaRoofer (.) com and yet to take action.
This is to make you a final offer of $100 for the domain if you are still interested.

Kindly visit AlpharettaRoofer (.) com to grab it now for $100.

This may be your last chance of owning this premium domain

Regards.

Hello. Did you really include "offer" and "$100" in the subject line of the exact email that resulted in that sale?

iykepromotions:
This may work for you. Just decided to make it public. I use gmass for campaign. One thing special about it is that you will see who opens and clicks the domain you're outbounding. So recently, from those that clicked, I tried one experiment. I contacted them asking them what's the reason for not buying the domain. To me, I presumed they may be interested hence why they clicked.

Few minutes, one replied and said the price has been changed from the price I quoted. I told him yes, but if he's ready to buy it at that former price now, he can take it. He said yes. I imported lead from Dan and he paid shortly.

Congrats on the sale, boss!

A couple of questions, please:

1. It appears that you previously reduced the price to 100 bucks before hiking it and then doing those follow-ups. If yes, how long did that discount last?

2. How long after that discount did you do the follow-up that resulted in this sale?

Thanks in anticipation!
