I registered this domain name: www.dataaccelerator.com for ten dollars and sold it for 500 dollars later. I started buying more but sold for lesser amount but I made my profit, always more than 600 percent. I started selling manuals to people and I got some testimonies later. Some of my clients called and shared theirs. I'm not telling you this so you can buy manual from me, its true. In fact I dont want to sell you anything.
please can you explain in details where you can register a domain and where to sell.thanks

Pardon me Monsieur, but what's the bighie in getting ur domain name accepted at namerific? I thought Sedo was the holy grail of sales sites. So, what is it about Namerific?
Thanks for asking this question. I like asking questions myself and I like those who ask as well.

There is no biggie in getting your name accepted at Namerific. In fact, I can think up five names now and will bet that at least two of them will be accepted at Namerific. I have seven names at BrandBucket and four at BrandRoot and no sale yet. This is why I said the name may not sell anytime soon. So, no biggie about getting on Namerific.

However, just like I told @BsatTech, having more eyeballs to your name is a good thing in itself. It increases the chance of selling your name.

Regarding Sedo being the holy grail of domain marketplaces, the pros will not agree about that. In fact, the pros see Sedo as the junkyard marketplace where anything goes. In my opinion, DomainNameSales should be the holy grail. They assess your portfolio before they approve your account and they turn out huge figures. Thumbs up to Frank and his team.

I will counter that putting a make offer vs BIN is decision hugely hinge on demand. The likes of 3D and cloud for instance would be suicidal if you put a BIN but in a case where you are not so sure of what's out there and the demand is quite low, you can include a BIN, except you like the name and do not intended to sell it.

Such is the case of a friend who uses one of his domain to blog. He never wanted to sell. Therefore, he gave the domain name an extended expiry date to 2024.

However, one of the Top tech storage company has been on his neck to sell it to them. They were even willing to cough out 6 figures for the name.

It just depend on the demand. I will practise same for Drone Corporation. Hopefully, by Monday, my name will be on whois so, you can check by then.

It depends on demand bro and whether you are not willing to sell.
I totally agree with what you wrote here. I'm not sure my domains have a lot of demand like the niches you've mentioned.

Like I have said many times on this thread, I am still a newbie and I'm experimenting with a lot of things, 'BIN' vs 'Make offer' being one of them. For example, all my domain name are now forwarded to Afternic where 'BIN' and 'Make offer' can be used concurrently.

Let's see how it goes.

Yeah, doing this business from a cybercafe sucks. What makes it worse is that you can't do some things on your phone, like using the Google Adwords Keyword Planner.

I'll suggest that you do most, nay all, of your domain research using your phone and just go to the cafe when you actually need to use a computer. I started with a Nokia C1 too because my laptop's battery was not good then and I had no money for PC subscription. Research on phone, buy at cafe.

For business model, you'll have to determing that by yourself, depending on a lot of factors like your purse, risk tolerance, etc. By 'business model', I'm referring to your domain strategy. Everyone has their own strategy. Aftermarket? Handreg? If handreg, brandables or future trend? If future trend, what niche? I'll suggest that you read the regular sales report on DNJournal, TLDInvestors and frequent the sales thread on Namepros. Knowing what is selling will help you know what to buy. My current business model is to combine brandables with LKeyword (I mean valuable keywords) domains.

Lastly, please stick to dotcom.

Sedo, with a BIN. I have since then changed all my domains to 'Make Offer'. BIN makes you leave (or think you left) money on the table, even if you did not.

nope... Not at all. You are doing a nice job.

Let me just add that there are different categories to domaining.

When I say na guerilla I dey do that time, una nor understand. Some felt I was being proud or 'forming'.

If you want consistent cash, you have to target keyword business defining product or services sold.

Take a clue from ChicagoBuilders.com or LasvegasHotels.com Or PropertyForSaleInMichigan.com

Geo + product/services .com

for those asking to rate their domain name... Getting a meaninful domain isn't hard.

Can you string a few words to make a phrase or sentence correctly? I bet yes you can. Now target a business or service... Think western world.

That's all I can say.

Nigerians are not that nice to show people how they make monies.... Otherwise, they try to eat from the little you have by telling what they believe can generate money. They might have probably test it and it doesn't work out the way the wanted it so they decided to use the faster way to get money by teaching people....

nope. It could have been mine but NYSC messed me up. This is what happened. I was brainstorming on domains in the robot niche when I came across that name. I quickly checked the name and saw that it was about to drop. I spoke to another experience domainer and he encouraged me to get the name. But unfortunately, I had bad internet network and the only way to get that name was to back order it.

Which could have cost me 11,500 naira to use a super service like snapnames.com to backorder the name. We were only paid 19800. As at the time the name was to drop, I don't think I had up to 7k in my account. So, I came here and ask friends to see if they could register it on drop. A lot of friends tried to help out but sadly we all failed. Lol.

And someone else got the name by backorder. It later sold this year for $2k+ and now it's a live site.

How do you think Drone Corporation is worth or should sell for.
I would be cautious of naming a price for a future trend domain in the drone niche. This is because we are still 'scratching the surface' when it comes to public usage and popularity. Drone usage is still in its infancy and we are already seeing some big ticket sales.

I would expect this name to go for at least four figures. DroneCorp is owned by @gilescoley of NP and I think DroneCorporation is better than that name.

Just put it on 'make offer' and let the offers start rolling in. You will need a lot of patience here.
