I have sold domains in the past! I sold my first domain on eBay around 2003. I have pushed domains only within the same registrar namecheap. It was free push. It was not an external push.

1. I get am before nor be property

2. There is nothing like external push, the moment a domain is leaving a registrar to another, it becomes a TRANSFER

3. When you move domain from your account to another account within the same registrar, it becomes a PUSH

These are rudimentary terminologies that shouldn't be mixed up

My accepted name is still waiting to go live since three days ago
How long does this take on average

SH response is usually slow from Friday, sometimes Thursday. Adding this weekend it MIGHT Take more time for that name to go live

Is the name yours or SH owned?

If it's SH owned, check if it has been registered, if it's not, reach out to support tell them its been three days & you don't want to loose the name To someone else.

For SH owned names for newly registered creative's, registering of names & approval of names takes time. It's not automatic. As you approval rate increase, you will qualify for automatic registration & instant listing of your names

exactly, domain squatting is registering trademarked names probably on other extensions or so.

It is more than this this, that a name is trademarked doesnt mean you cant register it or use it, just dont use it for the same existing category it has been trademarked for.

Apple is for Tech products, Phones, watches etc

Registering Apple for a Drink company or fast food is not an infringement on Steve jobs Apple TM

Cybersquatting (also known as domain squatting), according to the United States federal law known as the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, is registering, trafficking in, or using an Internet domain name with bad faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else.

For those into brandable, thats why you search for some keywords & you find about 5 TM for a single name, which differentiate them is the category of their service.

The key thing is "bad faith" with intent to profit.

There is an established company selling wines named "blue wine". They have no TM.

It will be considered bad faith for you to register Blue wine s & offer to sell wines too or even outbound to them. There is a thin line. you might get a seize & desist letter.

The reason we get away with it sometimes is because the company is not very big or does not have your time.

There is also Typosquatting. eg Faceb00k, N0kia etc

Generally you are advised to stay away from trademarked names doesnt mean its a no go area, if you know what you are doing.

Names of celebrities/popular people are also no go areas(there is no way around this one)

If you are into brandables, You must be patient.

The sale will eventually come, for some it will be faster, for others, it might take a little longer

Yes, I just checked and the names have been rejected. I just don't understand the way SH review names oh

I submitted three names I think are good but they were rejected.

The three names I submitted are below

1. Analynic (from the word analytic)
2. Rapidpowr ( rapid and power)
3. Dynarupt, ( dynamic and disrupt)

Are this names bad as a beginner?

Ikhalyfah therealMcCain

I dont appraise names

Name 1: How does the pronunciation sound to you?

Name 2: Most times you dont add a real keyword to a mispelling

Name 3:No comment per say, Dynadot makes no sense to me but its a killer site now.

In domaining, There are exception to rules, sometimes rules get broken and you make a sale. Standard industry practice is to stick to the norm/rules.

Help a brother, I just got a reply from an end user...How Much?

Although I listed the domain name for $10,000...seems he didn't click the landing page link...

How best should I reply him? Should I just reply $10,000 or is there a way I can reply him to make an offer while still letting him know the amount is $10,000?

Help a brother...

From Page 1 till current page, did anyone introduce himself/herself as a seer or witch/wizard?

Name you did not reveal

Potential worth of the enduser, you did not reveal

No background info, nothing at all (Is it exact match, brandable or geo domain)

PS
I am not asking you to reveal the domain name or name of enduser or company, but there are pointers you can give that will help someone give a good counsel. Revealing these info in an open forum like this can backfire. you can DM trusted folks for their advice.(dont DM me)

Advice to newbies, have a mentor, someone you can always run to, to ask stupid questions

I have mentors till date, that I send unregistered domains to, to give me their input

I have people I send unregistered names to for them to see if they will buy, should they reject the offer, they dont go behind my back to register it

I have people I send full correspondence of my outbound with, including name of enduser and company with so that they will advice me on how to go about it. sometimes they do their own research based on info given and they dig more info for me.

In this business, its not a one mans island

If rejecting it as premium won't affect it still being listed as Basic Plus, by all means go ahead. I was in a similar situation recently and they reviewed and approved it as premium.

It ought not to because the review will be handled by the SH internal review team. There is no harm in trying

Is this normal? It was until I saw your screenshot before checking it out. I actually thought it had been reviewed and rejected.

I dont get your question, your screenshot shows that you have requested for a review and its in process. if the name is accepted, you will get a mail but if it is rejected, you may or may not get a mail. I used to get review rejection mail at the beginning

I've been uninterested in listing in BB for 2 reasons and one of them is the cost of the logo.

How much did you pay for it. What is their present policy?

You have been advised to read up to current trends.

Logo fees no longer applies on BB only those that already had logo fees before this new rule, which has been since last year.

If you get a name from ED or anywhere that was previously listed on BB and had logo fee, when you resubmit, the logo fee will still apply.

On BB a once accepted name cannot be added the normal way, you have to reach out to them for them to relist it.

crudedude:

@bolded Figured you know this but Basic Plus names can be listed on other marketplaces. Just that the NS must point to SH. That's why I once asked the positives on listing for Basic Plus domains for more commission when an Afternic and Dan listing goes for less.

I know but basic plus & basic listing is not bounded by exclusitivity. It doesnt apply in this case.

The point I am driving at is this, if I list a name ONLY on BB & outbound, should it sell, I will be leaving money on the table.

Wisdom is to list on Epik/Dan with lower commision.

If you could sell it on your own, you wont be needing excusive marketplace.

For newbies, it is very wrong to list names on EXCLUSIVE markeyplaces & list elsewhere too

Your answer is ambiguous?

My answer is straight as the text itself


Do you outbound for your names listed on BB,SH & BP
Yes

If you do, I will love to know why?

I need Quicker Sales,allowing the marketplaces to do all the work leaves your progress at their pace. I know startups are frequently looking for good business names, so why not find them and outbound to them.

If you do, why ignore DAN, Epik with 10% commission Afternic 20% commission
I don't ignore those marketplaces, in fact I have all my names listed on each one of them including my brandables, except Sedo, where I have just a handful listed because of their stressful process of authentication.

Then outbound for the bolded with 30% commission
Outbounding for the bolded though at higher commissions, it still guarantees that I make more net profit.



Let me get something straight. The names you listed on BB,SH,BP, did you also list them on other marketplace?

If your answer is YES, I reserve my comment and can understand why you outbound.

Industry standard practice is to list brandables on exclusive marketplace & let them do their thing

List the others they didn't accept(or those you don't want to lock down) in non exclusive market place, then outbound to those one

Bosses, what does the percentage behind the number of shortlist means?

The percentage is decreasing.. It was around 10% when I first saw it.

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

At the bolded, the relationship is that you said if you Haven't made a sale, then you don't know what you're doing. You said this Because someone implied that, I think. My point is that they probably say that because they haven't really seen a sale from you. If you had shown off some of your bb sales WELL, for example, it wouldn't have been so. So, we're still saying the same thing. I was just adding that you should not complain.

From the above, you aren't informed then.

I was being sacarstic with that statement & at same time revealing the mindset of some folks here.

In February, I reported a sale on BB, I also stated it that it was an SH reject. My objective was to let people know that SH reject does not mean the name is bad or not sell.

I have also reported some of my sales on other marketplaces on my Squadhelp thread.

I have never stated that I haven't made sales in domaining.

Mark my words, Alot of folks here will burn out in this business if they continue on their trajectory of feeling they know all just because of few sales they have made, they have left principles of domaining and are building on sand.

What do you think will happen when the dry phase comes?

I have said it before I will go on hibernation & continue to learn what I can learn from here. Maybe it's time to stick to it.

If you focus more on selling, your accepted names should have a higher chance of selling. That's my point.
If you're looking at at the type of names they been accepting lately, AkA new arrivals, for instance, you're focusing more on acceptance IMO. I think a better thing to do will be to tailor the kind of names submitted to suit their recent sales history.

The challenge is that, when you do this, it becomes difficult to find names that will stay available pending the time SH reviews the name. So, you won't be able to submit a lot of names everyday and have , for example, up to 8 names accepted in few days.

It's one thing to have your names accepted, and it's another thing for a sale to come in.

Just my line of thought.


Looking for keywords on SH marketplace for new arrivals is for beginners. There is more to it.

I will not speak more on this.

It appears folks are confusing Geodomain sales pattern with Brandables sales pattern.

I discovered that there are names SH will approve for you to register but they will reject that name if you choose the option of "I want SH to register the name"

So at the beginning I chose the dual option of me registering or them registering. I gave away a name that was approved for me to register on this thread, skill pactdotcom and I was insulted over it.

I vowed never to give out such names on this thread again.

Since then I choose only the option of SH registering. If it gets rejected. Fine

My point is have a plan & stick to it with room for continuous improvement & fine tuning

For the benefit of new timers.

You have to find out what works for you. Copying is allowed but you must forge your path and style else you burn out

I started with geodomain, didn't work out for me cos I didn't like the time spent outbounding.

I settled for brandble. list and wait.

In settling for brandable, I made another decision, spend less on renewal so I focused on SH names (this means less profit but no money spent on renewal)

I have lost loads of names in this process because when SH rejects it, I let it go, on few occasions I submit to BB.

I recently released over 800names that SH rejected on my Squadhelp thread, more than 70% of those names have been registered. Some of these names I would registered and listed on Dan & Afternic. I didn't because it doesn't meet my style and objective

Stop crying fowl. You brought this upon yourself. You mention some sales, but when it comes to revealing the name, you chicken out.

Besides, you might want to see reason in what @expertix said. I think, on SH, you focus more on acceptance rather than selling. That's what I see most doing now.

That said, you're a boss. No doubt.

I am confused, what is the relationship between not revealing names and being insulted for not making sales?

So please how did I bring it upon myself?

"You said I should focus on selling than acceptance"

Please educate me, what more can I do?

Outbound for SH?

Have you seen seen anyone outbounding for a name listed on SH,BB or BP?

It is list and wait

You can't talk about quality because you haven't seen my portfolio besides there are 3 & 4 letter words on those marketplace gathering dust!!

You also do not know my sell rate on Afternic Dan or BB

With all sincerity and for others to learn, how do we optimize sales on SH and other brandable marketplaces? I am sure lots of folks are on this table to learn

I'm not sure you understand what I outlined. Under Keyword Domain Auction? The auction is starting in 3 days' time and your domain will be included if selected.

The info is not complete.

What you put up there is normal way of listing domain on sedo. after adding names, you have to select the names & choose on Domain auctions.

You will then add your reserve price, domain language....

My Brother, Its not like that o

Good names drop everyday & one person cant grab all the names. its enough for everyone.

Its the work to sift through names that is the koko.

The best & most tedious way is to search ED without keywords but i doubt anyone will have time to do that.

By searching with keywords on ED, you are limited because you will not get to see other names. Your search will be limited to your saved keywords.

So you must constantly work on your keywords, readmore & update.
