Atom / Atom.com - Marketplace (formerly Squadhelp)

[JudgeMind]

Hey Folks,

I've just started using squadhelp.com to list some of my brandable. So far I have 76 domains listed, there is no fee to list. I've had some decent action so far in the way of interested buyers but no sales as of yet. I've only been with them for 1 week now.

A bit of a summary review of SquadHelp:

PROS

• No Listing fee
• No Logo design fee
• Ability to submit your names to end users holding naming contests
• Ability to chat directly or send a message directly to end users.
• Stats of your marketplace domains are shown in the marketplace dashboard.
• Their customer service and support has been great, 24hr a day chat.
• Ability to increase or decrease the list price of your domains or to show a discount. You can decrease or increase the price yourself by $200. If you want to lower more, you can contact support.
• End users can shortlist your domains before they make a decision on which they want to purchase. The number of shortlists is shown in you marketplace dashboard.
• When you submit your names you get to set the price you wish to get. Because their commissions are high I recommend listing at a higher price to offset the commission costs.
• Their landing pages are fairly basic but they work. Because the marketplace is fairly new, I'm sure we will see style improvements in the future.
• One thing I really like is they accept multiple extensions. I have listed .co and .io along with .com
• Each seller gets a direct link to their marketplace portfolio, HERES MY PORTFOLIO. It is handy if your trying to p[promote your portfolio through social media.
• I like that their marketplace doesn't have tens of thousands domain listings like BB. They are fairly strict on the domains they accept to list and so this helps keep the number of domains in the marketplace down and gets your listings more exposure.

CONS

• Their commissions are very high, depending on the domain name they are usually between 30% and 35%. However, there are no listing fees, no logo design fees, so in the end their commission is very similar to brand buckets.
• Their logos are not top quality, in fact I requested to have some of my logos remade.
• I think they have a big backlog of logos to design, the wait time for logo design has been around 1 week, but your names are still listed while the logos are being designed.
• After your names are accepted you need to agree to their commission rate, at this point you also need to apply your own keywords, descriptions etc. I found this was very time consuming.

You write so enthusiastically that I wanted to join your luck and find out which domains are usually approved in SH. Please give me a link to your profile there.

Just browse their marketplace to find out, also check out the domain insights and past sales (you need a silver account).
Keywords with high Namebio sales will be more likely accepted.

Of course, I'll take a look, especially since I have a gold status. It's just that your messages are so laudatory, which is very similar to advertising, so I wanted to make sure that these messages were written by a real experienced domainer

I don't work for Squadhelp, I'm just sharing my experience and tips here. There are more experienced domainers than me, just check out the leaderboard in your SH dashboard, you can even see their portfolios there

Clear. I like the Squadhelp too. In my personal rating, I put the SH in first place. But I have to place a lot of unapproved domains on other sites. Unfortunately, almost no one sees standard domains unless they are offered in contests. I hope the SH team will come up with a better mechanism for their positioning in order to attract even more domainers to their ranks

 

[Heryormilekan]

He's right. I also got one approved on Saturday I didn't even remember asking for a review for the domain

 

[Edukar]

If the domain is approved, it's very good! But what should someone do who has hundreds and thousands of domains whose sales bring the squad more profit? I think that the number of requests should depend on the status. For example, 2 requests for a domainer with a small portfolio,, 5 for silver status, 10 for gold and 25 for platinum (at least)

 

[Heryormilekan]

No. They are already doing it in the right way. If they should go by your proposed method, they will have many reviews per month. 5 per account is fine for every seller to have limited reviews per month.

So, if you have only 5 domains or 5000 domains, there is no difference for you? I don't think it's normal to have only 5 requests for domainers with different statuses. Then it would be correct to cancel the requests altogether and wait 60 days until the next approval.

Well, you have to consider the reviewer's time in your consideration. They have enough new reviews to go through already so adding additional reviews will be an extra load and this will affect overall review time if they go by your proposal

OK. I hope you have read my message carefully. If the domainer has only 2 domains available, why does he need 5 requests? If you do not want to upload reviewers, then set a maximum of 5 requests for domainers with gold and platinum status, for everyone else, let there be 2 requests per month. Then the burden on reviewers will become even less. Just hear my opinion, Domainers with large portfolios bring much more income to the SH team than others. So, there should be more requests for them. You don't condemn the practice of the percentile for participation in contests, do you? Someone is allowed to submit 2 entries, and someone 40. I believe that the domainers should have a similar percentile depending on the number of domains and sales.

Revenue Generating Landing Pages - have you ever made any money with this feature?

If a buyer comes directly to your landing page by typing your Domain URL, we will keep track of the buyer's visit and their purchase activity for 7 days by storing a "Cookie" on their computer.

If, instead of purchasing your domain, the buyer purchases another domain from our Marketplace (belonging to another seller), you will earn a commission.

 

[Edukar]

This is a really useful feature! Thanks.

Hello. You write "There is no listing fee", but forgot to mention that they require a fee for reviewing each domain for new domainers. Now the fee is 1 coin ($1). There are already 551, not 76 approved premium domains in your portfolio. Tell me please how many dollars you actually paid to achieve this result. I am interested in your approval statistics, because you also paid for every disapproved domain.

He posted that 3 years ago. Alot changes in 3 years.

He posted that 3 years ago. Alot changes in 3 years.

I know it's been three years. That's why I'm asking what percentage of his approval

 

[Edukar]

He has 3601 domains. Of these, only 551 domains are approved as premium. For each review, he has to pay $1, which means he paid more than $3000. It turns out that in order to place one premium domain on the site, our colleague paid an average of 3601/551 = $ 6,5. This is a little more than the competitors, where they ask for $ 5 per logo a good placement. Resp. approval percentage 551/3601*100%=15.3% These are true numbers. In any case, the work at Squadhelp is worth the candle, because this site is constantly developing. I personally would like the number of experts to be increased from 20 to 40 people, because we need more flexibility in domain approval. The current experts have an unpredictable adoption plan, so, unfortunately, there are still low-quality domains on the market. Hopefully, in the near future, the squad will teach artificial intelligence to accept domains so as not to depend on the preferences of the experts.

Hopefully not! We don't want another BrandPa!

No AI please!

If you don't want AI, then they need to pour fresh blood into the SH experts. When I register domains, I already know exactly what will be approved at SH and what needs to be sold on other sites. I don't want to adapt to experts, I want really high-quality domains to be sold on the Squadhelp marketplace
