Dreydoe:
study Squadhelp sold names and most especially new arrivals first , coin your own words from there and submit. To be honest , that expired name filter thingy (brandable) for y'all "newbies" is like skippn school classes and rushing over to exams , it's cheat mode.. keep trying it will work

Werin I know sef.. me sef na newbie Goodluck

CornOak:


To start with, what type of name do you submit?

xtaphare321:
I started with my own coined names but none got approved then I switched to expired domains names like Homensure, pay bunk, waybillme all in dot com were coined by me, then names like codeclamp, Dexhorizon, Im buit, globarr all in dot com too were picked from expired domains

sammchuck1:


I suggest you read 100+ pages of NP reported sales. Preferably page 450 and later. Trust me, the quality of brandables you reg will improve. Also read beckplanet post on brandables (page 657 i think).

Dreydoe:
All my ogas here please who have successfully registered .us extension ?

I just registered a one word dictionery domain name. I won't call it prime though

Reassumes.com

The "s" at the end devalues it but I suspect I can still get like $595 for it as a fast sale. Picked it from expireddomains.net.

Or should I list it for $2,100?

Guys, what do you think

grandstar:


.us no good except if you can use it to form a dictionary name

Examples: curio.us, ambitio.us, dangero.us.

Anything else and you'll just be throwing your money away.

SEYIKP:

My sincere appraisal will be for you to drop the domain and request for your money.

Ibrixy:

Under which category can I find it on NP please..

Dreydoe:
bro I have a plan for it and I don't mind to sit on it till death do me part. But this is the problem here now

I won't. I'll learn. I used to own stabilises.comand 2 a few others. That's far worse than this one has it it spelt the English way and not the American way.

I sold 3 of them together in 2006 or so for $197. I either sold them on Namepros or Dnforum. I paid $37 then at Dnforum to be allowed to sell there. That $37 gave me a 20 year membership to the site.

There should be a buyer but I'm not expecting much. That's why I priced it at $595, a price a buyer may not think twice before paying.

I hope I'm right.

Do you mind sharing your plan for it? Is it an EMD or geo?

I must commend you for giving it a try, as well as practicing what you've learned so far. However, you may need to change your strategy since the present one isn't working.

Just like Dreydoe highlighted above, to improve your approval rate, you need to take SH as a course and start studying it with keen interest – as in, give the site a close marking.

Start by reading their blog posts on how to pick the best names, the types of names they accept, how they evaluate names, their review process, amongst others.

Moving forward, proceed to your MARKETPLACE DASHBOARD and study the sold names beneath the page. Similarly, learn to use SH filters to research relevant keywords and generate new ideas.

Significantly, browse the NEW ARRIVALS names and pick ideas from there too. Most times, SH is likely to approve a good name that's similar to their new arrivals. Just identify the trend and follow it wisely before it gets saturated.

Listen, it's not easy out there. Thousands of creatives are competing to submit names of similar keywords, so you've got to stand out to get constant approvals. Look inwards and do something differently.

Nevertheless, I would personally advice you start with COMPOUND AND BLENDED NAMES. They seem to have more approval rates. I mean combining two real words to form a new name or combining parts of two words to have a new meaning.


Compound Examples: Cloud (word) + fly (word) = CloudFly (two real words)
Active + Tactic = ActiveTactic (two real words)


Blends Examples: Earnhance = Earn + En'hance'
Brunch = 'Br'eakfast + L'unch'
Cleanovate = 'Clean' + In'novate'


Ultimately, deploy a new strategy that works and stick to it. Plus, after researching popular keywords, write them down and do the same for suffixes. Combine your researched keywords (two at a time) and check if they blend well.

Repeat the same process for word + suffixes too. Then proceed to InstantDomainSearch/com to check its availability. Like I said earlier, note down the popular keywords and suffixes (maybe prefixes too) before getting started.

Apparently, as your approval rate improves, so will your submission limit do too. So from the 3 limited submissions at a time, you will go up to 5, 10, 12, 15, e.t.c at a time.

Please, don't forget to read more about BRANDABLES from this thread (Beckplanet & therealmacchain's posts), Namepros, DN Geek, SH Forum & Blog, Domaining/com, and more.

Personally, my first 15 names were rejected. Yes, I'm not ashamed to say it. They were descent names but weren't what SH wanted. I stopped, made extensive research and I've improved overtime. In fact, I have a friend I now exclusively supply names and he has more premium names than I do now.

Lastly, I will advise you not to rush. Take your time to learn first before delving into it fully. Fortunately, there's no late comer in domaining. So you basically have the ample time to read, prepare, and bomb SH with CATCHY names.

ED is good, gems can be found on the site, but don't submit all ED names to SH at once, mix them with your own brain–curated names. That way, your approval chance is increased. Don't mistake GEOs or EMDs for Brandables too.

Don't give up, keep trying and striving. Remember, there's always a reward for hard work + smart work + prayer. Be motivated, be energetic, and be encouraged. Soon enough, you will look back at your early stages and laugh.

This sums it up

But I'll love to hear from Beckplanet, what is your experience with them, sir?

sammchuck1:
My New Plan

when someone replies me with "how much"

my response would be :

Listed Price - $400(with domain link embedded)
Godaddy valuation - $1000(with godaddy appraisal link embedded)
EDIT: If asking price is > godaddy valuation then I'll use comp sales > asking price

Very unique domain that captures your business and its location. It can be redirected to your current site if you wish. Random Domain also sounds good for marketing online and offline. Very easy to remember too.

Comments, criticism and correction are welcome.
