No change if you are receiving payment in your dom . Just received a payment this afternoon from them

The changes will take effect January 26th. l hope my interpretation is right, will know by then

moneymind:


I don't think this is the case, if you look at the Nigerian tab in the payments column, you will notice 2 options, USD and NGN. The minimum only affects payments requests in NGN.

Exactly. look at other countries, their native currency and USD has no minimum or maximum. my interpretation of this is that, USD to dorm acc has no new threshold apart from the old 25dollar minimum.

Sold a name on Friday, will update the house if i get payment or not

happy newyear to the house


How are you all doing? I have been distracted by other activities.

I can see alot of newbies have ed the train. I am glad and thankful to all those who have continued to fuel this thread.

May domaining smile on us all in 2022.

Hello, how are you doing?

Gracias

Victorblaze14:
yes off course,I work with them

is that all you have to say

why are there no testimonies of them online

Virtually every reference of them on this site is redacted, why is that?

Please is this real estate firm legit? All references to them on nairaland is redacted. They seem to have lots of adverts selling properties but no testimonies from buyers. google search shows alot of persons also asking if they are legit

They have numerous websites with different names offering different properties.

please do not quote the name of the company in your reply, it appears its banned here

seuncyrus:


Pls what afternic dns do you use for your domains , does your domain display a BIN

I dont use Afternic nameserver, I use that of Epik or dan

Afternic nameserver that i know, does not have BIN, its an enquiry form you fill, not all buyers will have the patience to do that.

They have another nameserver that i havent used. I cant speak about that one

ewizard1:
I ed 3 names (to be regd by SH) on SH and still pending since 3days. But later submitted a self-regd name on Basic+ and it was approved within a day.

Can I list the name in other market place?

tranxo:

It's like you enjoy going off point.

What was my argument? You said Xerox was meaningless.

I said, no it's not. Simple.

Then I said Kodak was meaningless.

And you went on to say 3 unrelated things in one breath.

1. a brand will give meaning to a meaningless name

2. Kodak the photo company was founded in 1907

3. One Kodak fortress was built in Ukraine in 1935.

How does all these relate to our argument.....that Xerox wasn't meaningless, and that Kodak was meaningless.

From your picture, (it could not resemble anything and cannot be associated with anything else) is very much equal to MEANINGLESS.

Stick to the point. I told you earlier, if you want to give an example of a meaningless brand name, do not use Xerox. Stick to the SPECIFIC points I raised. Say things that are verifiable facts.

OK

tranxo:


By the way, some names are absolutely meaningless. Some names have no "story" behind them. Example is Kodak.

There is always a story. even if a name is choosen because of how it sounds, thats still a story.

meanwhile far back 1935, in Stari Kodaky(ukarine), the kodak fotress was built.

Kodak photography company was named in 1907.

Either way, if a name is meaningless, the brand will give it a meaning. when Kodak is mentioned, na picture naim dey come ur mind nor be fotress

tranxo:

What gives you more insight, sharpens your skill, and gives you greater latitude for exploring uncharted territories?

1. A name
2. The idea behind the name

No 2 The idea behind a name but there are times, this will be useless to you.

When a contest holder chooses a name because it sounds like his late fathers name or the pronounciation reminds him of his favorite pet or nephew

When a person chooses a name just because they like how it sounds

In this scenerio, I wont be able to make much out of it in forming other names for myself

No1 also has its place, thats why i suggested that too

tranxo:


Some of these names are not meaningless. You think Xerox fell from the sky?

No name falls from the sky, never insinuated that.

There is always a story behind a name.

Its a bussiness/service that will give meaning to some names especially when the word cannot easily be deciphered. This is the point i was trying to make.

tranxo:

I feel you bro. But the problem is that most of generally see brandables through the lenses of English language.

The companies that buy these "weird" names may not even be in an English speaking area. Evoomi may even contains root word from another language that perfectly fits into that company's ideas.

We keep moving sha.

PS:
I have said this before But I will add. Most of us look at only 2 areas on SH when trying to get ideas for names to submit - New Arrivals and Recently Sold. We forget a third, which "MAY" even be more directional than the first two - Contest Holder's Descriptions of what they want.

CH description/brief might be too cumbersome for some folks, they can settle for contest winning names

chrispaul1:
PLS EXPERT IN D HOUSE CAN I THESE DOMAINS OR WHICH OF D DOMAIN IS GOOD TO B ED?

FineBattery.com
JustLone.com
PrettyFuel.com

Q1. Ask yourself, what sought of business or service provider will use these kind of names?

I saw Finebattery on ED, guess thats where you saw it. it was previously used by a indian company or so. It appears they have folded up. Check Facebook

there is no prospect that another company will use this name, Battery is a good keyword in the energy niche but the "Fine" waters down the value

Q2. pretty fuel? Them dey see ugly fuel?

Q3. Justlone, what is this? just lonely

Finebattery or prettyfuel can be used by any company but the keywords are not rich, it doesnt fit the metrics of names that will likely be used for any business

why names that will have have less prosibilty of being used?

greatdesire:
Name submitted on SH for some days now is still on pending.


Also, the pre-approved is still yet to be ed despite the chat with their CS unit.

Who is also experiencing this?

Read the last 2 page

This has been discussed.

You will find the answer you seek

mobiss:
Yes! I ed those names before submitting them on SH, and they are not . They are Basic and Basic+.

Do you see searchable as shown in the screenshot?

Did the name recieve 3 positive review from expert reviewers?

hope you listed it on afternic & other marketplaces too

I dont want to quote Beckplanet long post. Its a gold mine. Newbies should read it over & over again

I will point out some things from his post

1. Patience (this is self explanatory)

2. Your name geting sold is a case of chance & opportunity dependent on the end who needs a name at that point and yours getting picked.

Just to add, you see how you might be at a disadvantage if you set your price too high, that might make the end not to choose your name because he has lots of cheaper similar names to choose from

I have also had cases where the buyer did not consider a name because the price was too low!

which advice you go con follow?

3.Find out what works for you! Beckplanet has been able to identify the paltform that has worked for him or favoured him most.

4.Domain is a game of numbers they say, how do you explain someone with 5names selling on BB with over 80k names. If the saying was completely true

If you are venturing into brandables, Read the post I am responding to over & over, till it sinks

mobiss:
Please, what could be the reason for submitted names that are live on SH not showing up in search box when searched for?

I hace two names that are live on SH, but when I searched for them to see what the logo looks like I couldn't find those names.

Q1.Has the name been ed?

Q2. If yes, Is it a premuim listing?

yemight2776:
@OP, is it necessary that one name on SH, I mean uned name submitted and approved by SH need to market it again to sell or just leave everything for SH to do. I mean for quick sale, can someone also do marketing like reaching out to end s. Thanks

if your name is on SH, BP & BB

There is no need for outbounding, the marketplace will do the work. their commision is huge, they should work for it.

If your name have many potential end s, then list on DAN, EPIK, AFTERNIC etc then do your outbound to them

greatdesire:
Present with questions


Can one also submit on ed name on BB?
Is it with coin or how?

And has you said if accepted one can quickly it.


Pls, can you explain better what slack channel means on BB and how to go about it.

Thanks

Yes you can submit Uned name on BB. the only issue is that It takes an average of 35days for BB review to be done so someone else might it while its on queue.

It takes $1 to submit names on BB.

Slack is an app. BB & BP have channels on it. Just see it as A forum on slack app.

Ofejiro20:

@op I hope u see nothing wrong in what I requested for? Just a way to push up my moltivation

something is wrong, just wanted to oblige you. You said "I have just been talking and talking"

Na insult be that na

Ofejiro20:
Nice job OP, but can show us some of your payment proofs so as to moltivate newbies because you just have been talking and talking...

Mccainreal:


I started domaining in Febuary 2019. I have made sales on other domain marketplace(Afternic, Godaddy Auctions, Brandbucket, Dan) but i am yet to make sales on Squadhelp and Brandpa.

This was one of my post, i guess you missed it.

As a principle I dont report my sales, since you want motivation, here are SOME of my sales on other platform. I await sales on SH

whitewalker673:
Bosses i need clarification on an issue when a domain name is in pending review.
In your dashboard there will be something like listing type() and a remove button Under do i have to click on the remove button? Since i dont have coins for listing or what does the under the listing type mean?
Nb: the name is an uned name

There are 3 types of listing

1.Premuim
2.Basic
3.Basic Plus

each has its commision structure. so if its premuim that is there it means you submitted the name as premuim listing.

it is not a must that you submit a name with a coin. my emphasis for newbies now is to take advantage of the platform freebies.

Submitting a name without coin means slower review time & other things i will talk about later.

Apus:



Thanks bro.. God bless you OP. I've been able to submit a name which I am confident will get picked. It's a brand name of a would-be Fintech or e-commerce.

Just to give you a heads up, SH can be unpredictable. There are names I will be 100% confident that it will be approved. Na rejection them go give me.

Then there are some names I will struggle to submit. Na that one them go approve.

My rejection rate at the begining was so high, I had to complain to Grant on Namepros(see attached pic). Right now my limit for uned name is 15.

If the bulk of the names I currently have pending gets rejected my limit will most likely drop to 8.

8 is my average Limit

ikhalyfah:

Wow, i didn't even know of this
$10 ontop contest wey i nogo win

You might not win but it will give exposure to your name

The brainstorming also helps. I dont actively participate in contest, I choose the option for other creatives(seller) to submit my names to contest. if they win, they take the prize and the contest holder might buy the name. win win for me.

There is also something SH calls "Cha Ching"

When a contest ends and the contest holder is unable to choose a winner or disappears. SH will choose the 1st 3 best choice or thereabout and share the prize money amongst them.

I earned on 2 occasions with Cha Ching.

Do note that the contest holder can select your domain name as winner and not buy the domain name. there are cases like that

submission of names to SH contest can be ed or uned

Apus:



Nice one OP. Please, is ing of names for new s free on SH?

Its free to submit both ed and uned names but there is also payment option called coins. 1coin=$1

coin submission is for bulk submission of uned names, but you will be the one to it when it is accepted. (uned names comes with limit, it increase when your acceptance rate is good)

coin submission is also for ed name, no limits for submission, faster review time unlike when you submit without coin

SH is not a registrar. When your uned name is accepted and the option you used in submitting was for SH to , SH will it

To contest now, you pay $10. It wasn't so at the beginning. That is why I strongly advice everyone to take advantage of SH ing names because i know it wont last for ever.
