Congrats boss, is it a brandable name?

Its a compound name(2 keywords), It doesn't really qualify as a brandable.

One of my experiment has paid off

Reg just 2 days back

Will share more info, when funds hit my account

crudedude:
This may have been asked before, please what's a template description to use when submitting names? Tired of typing something new everytime

This when your name have been accepted. As for description of submitting names:

Description doesnt play a role in aceptance. It might if the meaning is not readily deciphered


Becksplanet Response

beckplanet:

This powerful, descriptive and modern name is versatile and unique with endless possibilities for nearly any industry.


Or


A dynamic multifaceted name that suggests growth, innovation and sophistication

Or

An elegant and luxurious name with multiple applications.

You can add and minus (edit) as you like to get what you want.

Peace

Another addition, check similar names & see how they were decribed, that will give u a guide.

Will be doing a little tutorial on Namebio in this thread.

If interested incate by liking this post.

If there is any other platform, you want me to do a tutorial on, also indicate(SH, ED is excluded, my book covers this already)

All the witches/wizards in the house, over to you

TheSTreetman:
Since i keep coining names myself, i sleep well with hope that if Squadhelp accepts the name, I'll approved it anytime i like even if I'm in the toilet.

So yesterday, i decided to try Expireddomains again for long time but although I've decided that anytime I'm going there for brandables is to carry money follow body.

No money yesterday and i submitted Two names as unregistered as usual. I didn't sleep well because i know that probability of losing those names is 90/10.

BudLeaf : Accepted but Lost
AidFlex: Accepted but Lost.

Lesson : Carry money dey go Expireddomains, the competition is much nowadays coupled with the lockdown that introduced more people to Domaining.

The competition has always been there & you are correct about tge surge of domainers entering into the market as a result of the lockdown.

For those coining names, you are not the only one doing so, there are others also thinking along the same lines with you.

So if accepted, accept terms or register the name.

Ibrixy:

Do you guys choose SH internal team to review/accept your names or Expert team review ( external).
cc
therealmccain

The choice is yours. Bulk of my sunmissions are unregistered & that is handled by SH internal team.

Most domainer on other forums are complaining about the expert review system.

ewizard1:
How do one do bulk upload unregd names without coin? I use the individual option and not allowed more than 3.

Why do you think they placed a limit on You to 3 names?

Now you want to do bulk upload for free! My friend either you work on your names & increase your acceptance rate thereby increasing your limit or do bulk upload with Coins.

Colours SH visitors/buyers are interested in. I have CrispBlue. The other colors are not amongst these

tranxo:

So because the number (75) is comparatively high, it automatically means all of them will be craps? Lol.

A large chunk of it will be less valuable if not worthless. Most good combination have bee taken, there are still some Gems.

If you go through pending delete names, The good names are usually backordered, which most times will lead to an auction.

Its few that slips through the crack. Yes most hand reg will be less valuable comapred to names on auction/closeout.

That doesnt mean all auction names are super

tranxo:


75 names have a GREATER probability of selling some, than the other 2.

Since we are talking in terms of numbers/figures, PERSONALLY I will use that money to buy 75 names than buy just 2 names.

It is surprising you suddenly changed your policy based on just one "missed" sale. I hope it's not spurred by a dry spell. Dry spells do happen even to the best domainers.

Anyway, to each his own.

We move on.

The policy is not a sudden one, its not just because of names I have lost. I previously benchmarked it at 200names, now I am at 148 SH owned.

Will most likely stop at 150. Its part of the tweaking I talked about.

As to the 75names, it depends on the quality of the names. A $300 name can easily be sold for $600(quick flip) or more but a $8 name might not be easy to offload for $100

It all depends on Your strategy & what you want.

There are times i have a financial need, I look at how many BB names I can Offload to achieve that target. I stopped doing this when reported sales on the slack channel was on the increase one time(names that were sold off to domainers & got sold within a short frame)

I am currently doing some experiment now, will see how it pans out

For those that participated in the giveaway for my books that werent choosen. I am prepared to give you a discount for the 3books as a package or anyone you want. I'll recommend the 3books if you are a beginner.

TheSTreetman:




That's why i made my previous post on Squaldhelp Preferred Submission. I guess I'll stick to both for now and if the name gets accepted using both options, It's left for my instinct to register it or not rather than throw the name away all because SH rejected it.

See cool dollar that just got miss now.

I get your point. I didnt throw it away because SH rejected it. I left it because its inline with my plan of zero financial investment.

I am looking at renewal cost.

Someone said its best you buy 2 names $300 each=$600 & pay renewal fee of $16($8 each)

Than register 75names for $600($8 each) and have renewal fee of $600.(75 × $8 )

I support this. Thats why I reduce the registrations I do & lean more on SH registration.

I plan to focus on backordering names & closeouts now. You more quality names this way, though more pricey

My decision for SH to register only, is costing me.

I submitted Zo bel le(unregistered), it was accepted

Weeks later,

I submitted Ho bel le(unregistered), it was rejected

Few days Later Ho bel le is a fully developed site.

As I always say, have a plan & stick to it but make room for tweaking.

I know i have lost names this way.

ikhalyfah:
Also, a bit of advice if you want your names to be accepted more.
Study the marketplace very well, know the popular keywords, become familiar with the words.
Whenever u face high rejection, sit back and give it some time b4 u continue to submit.
First 2 weeks of May i had 19names accepted, last 2 weeks i had only 1, maybe due to a very slow review many of us faced but still i had high rejection, i sit back for a week, relaxed and 1st June i continued submitting. I now have 8 names accepted in 2 days and counting.
So Always give them sometime, ignore them for sometime if you feel the rejection is from their end. Improve yourself if you feel it's from ur end.

He is very correct about this!

I have moved from 15limits a day to 3limits a day.

Dont think if your limits increase it will stay there of your rejection rate is increasing.

Follow his advice, if the rejections are becoming too much. take a chill, read more, refresh & fire again

TheSTreetman:



They're frustrating my efforts i swear.. None of my names was reviewed..

BTW :

Which option below do you normally use?

"I am ok with both options" has a higher acceptance rate. If they accept & the name but dont want to take the risk for investing in the name based on metrics known to them only, they will shift the risk to you but if you had choosen SH to register the name only and they dont want to take the risk. Then its outright rejection

From SH Tweet June 2 2020

Top 5 keywords vistors/buyers have shown interest in.

Take these words and search through their marketplace notice the word placement. keyword ending or begining (which is more)

Then coin your words or search through ED using the end with or start with(My book covers this clearly)

Some of my names on SH with these keywords are MedyFit, FitRatio, FitnessNitro (I have other Gym keyword which is in the same category with Fitness on SH)

Most of the good name combination are taken and can only be gotten through auctions, closeout and marketplaces BUT you can still coin or find on ED

Softmojo:
One end user has this question. Please does he mean the year this domain was first registered? or the date i reregistered the domain?

NB. According to domaintools this domain is over 11yrs old and has dropped only twice since then.

If he checks WHOIS will he see 11yrs?

The answer will tell you the year of the domain or ask him to clarify further

DNSPro:
what does it mean for your domain name to be shortlisted by potential buyers on SH?

I have one abandoned domain name there and i have not logged in there for long while. So minutes ago, I check and noticed 2 things

1: The domain name had received enough votes to be searchable and with this, I discovered that the views on the domain name had increased.

2. In the Shortlists column, I see 4. Initially, I thought it was the number of domains I have listed but I know it is just one domain name that I have there and therefore that is not possible. So, curiously, i hovered my mouse point on the small "i" icon in the "Total Shortlists" column and right there I found that it means the number of times potential buyers shortlisted the domain name...

Question: What does it mean for a potential buyer to shortlist your domain name? Any Squad Help expert here?

Earlier Response to a similar question

You have been answered. Truth is you don't need those stats. Names have sold that had no shortlist, while some have 200 shortlist yet to be sold.

It's like going on jumia to shop for shoes, you add to your cart anyone that catches your fancy, thats shortlisting

You will then look at your cart & have a second look, ask friends to check them out & finally make a choice. That's a sale

You can also do the above because you are just window shopping

You can also make final choice but don't go ahead to buy or you to set a target to save money to buy it in 6months

Do you get the drift now

SH has also said that "Strong Buyer Interest" is much more important than the number of shortlist

ikhalyfah:

Yeh I'll be finding time for contests.
But i believe invented names have more chance at contest than compound right?

Yes in a way, it depends on what the contest holder wants, sometime they specify invented or one word, then other times 2 words.

When they specify they want one word, most creatives will point it out to them that, one word are expensive and unavailable so they are left with blended or invented.

ikhalyfah:

All of mine are coined. Find it easier and faster to coin than to scroll ED.
But whenever i want to coin I'll make sure I'm not hungry, I'll get a silent corner, gather all my attention in the marketplace and let the words run in my head. After an hour or so i must have reached submission limit

You should participate in contests. I dont have that time to sit & rack my head for names. I prefer to go thru ED.

I have begun Closeout. Thats where I want to focus on now. Occasionally I will check through Dropped names

silverrock:
Bosses in the house Abeg I need your advise.

Saw a domain on ED and have been eying it for a few hours. Then I went to look it up and saw that a company is using a similar domain and very popular.

The domain is PlumbPlanet/king

The company uses PlumbingPlanet/king

How do I pitch this name to the company?

I have sha registered the name and listed on Dan, Sedo and Afternic

What is Plumb?

If you are the one will you downgrade from something that tells everybody what you do(which is plumbing) to something else(plumb)


Pitching names to companies should be names they can upgrade to, not downgrade to

Last two weeks have been slow in SH, unregistered names I submitted since 21st are still pending. Most times Monday of a new week usually clears everything. only 1 was reviewed yesterday
