allandutch: There is no harm in trying. The system doesnt checkndate of registration of your account. The system checks whether you have used that promo/ offer for 1st time registration. So if you have never registered a name, look for the fresh registration code & apply it. Ebooks have been sent. Please as you have freely received, freely give does not apply in this case. Don't go giving the books out for free because you got it free o. That's 13k worth of books sent to you. |

Bahdman007: Check your delisted names too If you are using phone or PC, use the search function. Names don't disappear. If you submit a name say on Friday. When the name is rejected sometimes you expect the name to be on your most recent rejected names. Sometimes it moves to last year rejected names depending on how long you have been with them. That's why I asked u to use the search function. Names that have been rejected before will move to the end of the queue on whatever list based on that old rejection date. Check your delisted names too, I have had names move there without any action from me. Sometimes I mistakenly clicked on remove while other times, i guess the 1st person that submitted the name, removed it while on queue and the system automatically did the same for me. SH still has some weird settings eg if you previously sold a name on SH, you can't relist it on SH. 1 Like |

As for the person that registered those names, if they got it from this thread, I don't fault them. This is an open forum, there are all kinds of folks here including those with no moral or integrity values. That's life for you. Opportunist will always be around the corner. What I will fault & what I consider terrible is if someone reaches out to you privately for appraisal then you go ahead to register it or discourage them in order to register it for yourself. 2 Likes |

allandutch: My apologies! It's my fault kinda but a learning point for others. Don't reveal unregistered names, if you don't want to loose them. Reach out to trusted folks to vet your unregistered names privately. I have mentors that I use so noone knows it all. Some folks have reached out to me privately also to vet names. Unfortunately I don't have the mental bandwidth to appraise names this period. I asked you to put up some names, I was hoping to do a top of the head appraisal while banking on some other persons to chip in. They have done marvellous job. You on the other hand are on track, those names they selected are good brandable, BB, BP & Afternic candidates. If you haven't registered on Godaddy before, I believe you will qualify for $0.99 registration for 1name. Haykay2005, ikhalyfah & others thanks for your responses. PS:I haven't bothered to go through your previous post on NL to know your kinda of person. favour has found you today. Reach out to me, I will give you my 3 books for FREE. 11 Likes |

Senatorial1: Have you read this thread from the beginning? When you clicked on the ? Sign what did it reveal? No of syllable doesnt really have a role in a name selling. What counts is length, keyword & a host of other things. Syllable is not on that list, if It is, it will be the last. |

I have been quiet of late, lots of physical activities going on with me. Had to put a hold on domaining activities. Hopefully will resume soon. Scanning through ED has also caused eye strain. Need to take some rest too. We should learn to recognize when our body is telling us to slow down. I can see that lots of folks have keyed in SH zero financial investment opportunity. I am happy about that. I was inspired by someone & I am happy I have inspired others too. As someone will always say, May your sale be to an Enduser.

Koats14: I don't have issues with adding names to Sedo. Just use their name servers make sure, privacy is off. That usually does it for me. Its takes awhile sometimes I used to do the TXT record at the beginning |

James39: Appraisal is work o! Nothing deep, just top of my head. Funnel keyword is usually related to sales. So those two funnel names won't fly Remotecare is best, RemoteCaring is good too but caringremote(na remote way dey show care?) Wetin be pendemic? Not to talk of pendemix? It's a play on pandemic but I don't see any value in this. Except you register & hold to see what comes along. Botic is all about robotics, more of a techy keyword & not a common word too |

nwafresh: Bros did you click on Approve & classify instantly? Poor, Good, Average & Excellent is just a way of guaging how many of those fields you filled & not necessarily what you filled. Just ensure your name has been approved & listed especially if its SH that is to do the registration

nwafresh: Pending Review or Pending Approval? If its pending approval, accept & list it Any name on Pending commision Approval means SH has accepted the name & waiting for you to Accept their terms & list. If its an unregistered name, better be fast before someone else registers it 1 Like 1 Share |

Whats with all the 1, 2 syllable inquiry I have been seeing? Forget about syllables for now and focus on compound words that blend, have synergy and meaning If you are going for invented or blended, fine also Forget about syllable and all of that. when you have gained more insight, you can then talk about syllable, adjective + noun or verb + whatever combo 5 Likes 1 Share |

thorrvik55: For both that sold, I targeted just 2 persons You can go to linkedin to search too. Inagine u google a name & you 5 okeke james 1.chef 2.entertainer 3.cashier 4.writer 5.painter No 1, 2,4 will be your target because they are the ones that will likely need their names as domains maybe the next batch, i will expand my search. Though note that the range you will get from this sale will be 50-350. The common spot is 100-200. You dont want to give them a reason to backdown. so a price that wont hurt their pocket. This corona too isnt helping issues, you dont expect an entertainer who hasnt done any gig for 3months to spend money on domain. 10 Likes 1 Share |

@greatdesire on the issue of AI recommendation, its not perfect so make sure you read the brief before you submit the name to it. There is a penalty for submitting names that do not match the brief at all |

greatdesire: Understand how contest works If you submit a premium name and its selected as winner, you get the contest prize Its left to the contest holder to buy your name at premium price. your name can win but will not be bought If the contest holder decides to buy the name, then you get the 25% commission (if its SH that owns it else you get the 70%) The name is always in the marketplace, its not as though it was removed and submitted to the contest. so if it doesn't win, it changes nothing As a new registree on SH you are required to pay $10 before you can partake in contests. check if you can participate in contest without being asked to pay. the next is to check available contest for the ones whose brief match your premium names or brief you think you can coin names for |

While waiting for the Brandable to sell, which takes time You can either do Geodomains, If outbound is your thing or Sell accepted BB/SH unregistered names. I started with Geo and I have discovered its not for me. So i sell accepted unregistered names. There is someone I am following on Twitter who introduced me to the concept of selling First and Last names for quick flip. Dont go register someone who is very famous/popular/celebrity, It MIGHT backfire, they might sue for the name. Picture 1 Sold for $150 @ Afternic($120 after commission) I reached out to the buyer by simply asking if they were interested in the name without price. the response was yes. Quoted $800. The buyer told me it was his name and was pretty much useless to anybody else. he said if i was ready to go lower, I should contact him. I asked him to make an offer and he refused, went silent. I dropped it to $299 when he refused to make an offer. I had to reachout after his continued silence, to enquire if he was still interested. He then told he was considering everything, complained a bit how corona had affected him. I believed because he ran a small shop. days later, I dropped the price to $150, reached out to him and offered him that price, told him i gave him the consideration due to corona. Picture 2 Sold for $50 @ Epik ($45 after commission, I guess) Negotiations started same way of asking if he was interested. he said yes, I responded with a quote of $350. he went silent. Reached out days later, if he was still interested. He brought up the corona issue. I reduced the price to $150. He said he couldn't afford that at the moment. I asked him what he could afford, he said $50 I have other First name/Last name that negotiations are ongoing. For these two sales, I had the option of waiting till next year when things settle down, then pitch to them again. that defeats my objective of quick flip. so I decided to sell. My BB names review outcome will be out in few days, this sale will cover for the registration 9 Likes 5 Shares

Picture 1 This is a screenshot from Expireddomains. The highlighted redbox is the ACR column. Archived Crawled Results This shows there is 38crawled results. if it is zero, it means there are no crawled/saved results. when you click on the number it takes you to the wayback machine page. Picture 2 The wayback machine page. The screenshot shows that there are saved pages between 2010 and 2019. There was no saved pages for 2014-2018(this does not mean that there were no activities on the website, it just means wayback did not crawl/save any page for those period) you will also notice that the bars for 2010 and 2011 are thicker than that of 2019. this implies that there were more saved results for 2010/2011 than 2019. Before now, If I see a wayback machine for any domain that has thin bars, I ignore I dont bother checking because i feel there nothing for me to see, sometimes you click and it gives an error message. I no longer do that because I have seen thin bars with juicy information, so I check all. NAVIGATION When you click on any of the year it displays a calendar with dates circled in red, blue or orange filled colors Blue indicates that there is a saved/crawled page Orange indicates that the URL was not found Green indicates redirects when you click on any of such dates with blue circle, it takes you to how the page was on that particular date. if the dates are not circled, it means there is no save results for it. when you click on dates with green, it takes you to the webpage, that domain was forwarded to on that particular date. 10 Likes 9 Shares

WAYBACK TUTORIAL Internet Archive Wayback Machine:This is a digital archive database of the world wide web. From this database you get to see saved crawled pages of any archived website for certain dates. Why is this useful to you as a domainer? From this archive, you get to see what a domain was used for in the past, the result could show that that a particular domain have been for sale since inception till it dropped, was used for porn, Chinese site, redirect, used by several organizations etc This will help you make an informed decision whether to buy or not. Example 1 Domain A was registered in 2000 and dropped in 2020. Wayback machine shows it has always had a sales lander for the price of $3000. This tells you that either the Buy it Now(BIN) price was too high so it scared away endusers or the name is a bad name and as such it wont sell or that the name requires more time to sell. You can make your research, find out if there are enough endusers, find out if the name can sell with a lower price of say $500-1000 etc Without the Archived results you would never have known this history about this domain name Example 2 Company A used a domain between 2000 and 2005 but for whatever reason, it expires, Company B then picked it up and used for 2years, then folded up or whatever. you can make your research and decide to pitch back to Company A. The archived results can also show the type of company that have been using a particular name and this will help to look for more endusers Example 3 I dont have experience with Chinese websites but a website that has always been used for Chinese purposes even though the english domain name has nothing to do with the content might not be helpful to you.(I stand to be corrected here) or a domain that has always been used as a porn website. These examples are enough to highlight the importance of the Wayback machine 11 Likes 9 Shares |

akeensbussy: Bros, This shows you havent digested my books, you probably scanned through. I had to go through my chats to confirm you have my books. On SH matketplace, I explained how to search for keywords, Did you do that before registering these names? same search pattern applies to other matketplaces On the brandable book, I talked about evaluations, so i am wondering why you decided to register these names based on evaluations only NOTE:I havent done any detailed search nor top of my head appraisal. Explain what you had in mind when registering it? Who do you think will use this name? I recently registered a name & one of my mentor told me it was a bad name, I gave him reasons why i registered it, told him the meaning & with those info he did a search & saw reasons with me. So help me see from your perspective In the meantime, Go through my books again 4 Likes 3 Shares |
