“He who can, does; he who cannot, teaches.”

Plenty of successful people on namepros share their methods frequently so I think most will pay $0

If it was $20 on amazon with Kindle option it would be an easy impulse buy. It's better to have 10% of a Watermelon than 100% of a grape. If you can sell 1000 copies at $20 thats better than 50 copies at $200. I personally share my own free avails on the avails section because I think you should help others for free (plus it drives attention to your for profit names that you're selling) but there is a market for a well written guide with illustrations and solid explanations.

I think we got a serious marketing problem here, free $100 advice incoming ;)
If you wouldn't have announced your idea and put it to a poll before publishing but made your work visible saying
Hi guys, I made this, I'm pretty sure reactions would've been way different from every side.
P.S. 80% off for NP members, right? ;)

I've had a few private PM's and just wanted to make something clear.

I could never promise anyone a dime in profit...That's not how life/business works.

I am simply interested in knowing whether people would be interested in an organized resource with a disciplined structure that makes it easier to achieve a 6 figure + income from domains... The answer is mostly "No", sooo moving on.

I'm curious.. did you ever pay anyone for any guides, before you became "successful" in domaining? or was it all your own learning.. persistance.. mistakes.. from free resources.. like namepros..

if you never paid anyone for anything.. then your idea shouldn't make much sense.. to anyone. including yourself.

You’re not wrong.
Cutting out 10-30% commissions is incredibly important.

One of the reasons I can’t understand why people use Undeveloped over Efty (or their own landers).

I don't have a thing for undeveloped.. nor efty for that matter.. I don't really have a thing for anything really.. but using undeveloped as your example is probably not the best idea.. as they charge one of the lowest rates in industry.. if not the lowest.. at 10%.. and mass payment to paypal with no fee.. so 10% total.

correct me if I'm wrong, but if you use efty, you still probably use some escrow service.. with what fee again? or pay the 5% to receive your paypal payments directly... so that'd be like 5% vs 10%... not a difference to die for I suppose.

when it gets bad is something like godaddy.. afternic.. at 20%
though even then... you can just work the extra costs into your buynow price.. or you can ignore it all and just say "who gives a crap if I pay 2k to godaddy in fees, when I'm making 8k roi"... on a 10k sale.

I mean... why should we all have no limit to our greed. I try to have a limit to my greed.

"successful" :-,

I didn't use a "guide" or "course" of any kind ...But I also spent/wasted a lot of time and money throughout 2013/14.

If I could go back, knowing what I know now, I would 100% pay $499 and go through the DN Academy course. Why? ... I've heard good things and I trust Michael. A structured resource would have been very useful IMO.

I don't believe in this silly fable that you have to learn from mistakes in order to be successful.... Yes, you should learn from mistakes, but it's even better when you don't make those mistakes in the first place.

Yes, and anyone will make mistakes regardless so needing to learn from them is a given. It's more about reducing the frequency and severity of them in the first place.

well learning from our mistakes is what life is all about.. and domaining is part of life.. why would it be any different.. why should it be.. and why should this be a silly fairytale as you put it :)

but.. we can just agree to disagree I guess :)

all in all, I think the bottom line may well be this:

look at where you ended up without paid guides.. look at where every other top domainer ended up... without paid guides.. how many of them do you think paid for guides? I guess we can ask them. my guess is NONE.

to me.. the silly fable is that there can be anything good and lasting achieved in life (which as I said includes domaining) without hard work.. learning.. persistance.. and yes, also MAKING MISTAKES.

but we can agree to disagree as I said... :)

For the guide with enough value in addition to the material already available on NP and other avenues, maybe 20-30$.

For your experience, your failures, your successes and your strategies / case studies, maybe 50-100 $. Again, highly depends on the value add.

I've been domaining since the past 18 months, with 2 mid-XXXX outbound sales till date. My full time job is a digital marketer / sales person since the past 10 years. There's so much I learn every day here on NP and other places. I'd be expecting the guide to accelerate my learnings from learning about your experience.

On a side note, I'd be willing to go north of 100$ as an annual charge to give me some face time with a group of experienced domainers for questions specific to my short and long term strategy and any sales funnels I might be involved at that point. Maybe also wrap in already existing services like assisting with the negotiating, intellectual property / legal paperwork etc.

I see people share their experiences here about outbound, but there is so much that goes into making a succesful OB drip campaign and making it situation specific. You get this only with experience and making tons of mistakes and improving all the time. I'd be more than willing to pay to accelerate my learning.

Hi

That's an interesting perspective.

one I can agree with, in that, some of my comments may have been different or I prolly wouldn't have posted in thread at all .
then too, @Josh may not have received the "visibility" and volume of responses
needed to gauge whether or not to proceed with idea.

but hah! :) that too, is the fault of us.
we, who...seek appraisals on names and ideas, then succumb to the unfavorable opinions - rather than pursing in spite of the reviews, or pursuing without seeking review or consult prior to.

where is this proven guide, that shows which path to tiz-zake, for that?

:)

imo….

$0 - Nothing. There is no proven guide or there will be.

Josh
It was through such medium (ebook) i came to know there is a business called domaining. In Nigeria when converted was about ($25) and thanks to that baby step i have made (>$1000) and would not mind paying to learn more but definitely between the range of ($20-$100).

Bonsu josh

Hey Josh,

A guide that teaches you how to make a 6 figure income, without having to outbound or wait for end-users?

How is that even possible, sounds like scam to me.. I mean the quote above that is highlighted green and bold just sounds like a scam promise from a poor sales person.

No outbound and no waiting for end-users... Come on!

I read that you provided an example of DN Academy, asking that do you see DN Academy as scam to another nP user.

Let me put it straight, on DN Academy you will learn about outbound marketing and also they teach you waiting for end-users by using services like efty and so on.

Also DN Academy never promise 6 figure income with their guide.
So your example is 100% misleading.

I can see why you are asking this question and also your answer to that.

You would pay $299+ for such guide right?

Well just a friendly advice, if you have such project that promises a statement like above, do not do it. Or you might want to change the slogan of the guide and make it free or affordable like 20 bucks, maybe some newbies would buy it.

If you don't have such project plans would you please clarify why you asked this question with such slogan in the first place?

(How much would you pay for a domain investment guide that teaches you how to make a 6 figure income without having to outbound or wait for end-users?)

P.S: I have seen some cool quotes on this thread so here is one from me!

"Trust is a fragile thing. Easy to lose and one of the hardest things to ever get back."

lol, what is that suppose to mean?
No outbound or waiting for end users means moving quality names to other domain investors for quick bucks

Again, I don't get that..

How would you reach a domain investor without an outbound or an inbound :) You got to reach your customer in order to move your quality assets for quick bucks.

Semantics. If you have a quality liquid name, it's not typically seen as outbound to list it in an auction, a np thread or write to someone who will pay you quickly for the asset.

How much should you pay for a quality liquid domain today in order to do that 6 figure from domaining?

Let's be realistic here.. We are talking about today, a real quality domain which is also liquid will cost you 5 figures or more.. and you are suppose to quick flip that to another domain investor for 6 figures? Come on..

Why do you assume all this action is to happen from one domain?

Why do I assume all this action is to happen from one transaction? Isn't that obvious, you said quality liquid names..

Okay let me rephrase this:

How many quality liquid domains can you sell in one month?

In order to do that how many quality liquid domains should you have in your portfolio.

In order to have that x number of quality and liquid domains, how much you should spent?

Thing is , most don't learn from mistakes :)
