BrandBucket Experience

[xtremex]

hello

I am new to BrandBucket. Before getting my hands on this

I wish to experience about brandbucket from my fellow members


Thanks

 

[Grilled]

just had 31 names accepted

Wowzer! Out of how many??

 

[pokainc]

bout 75-80 i think
they rejected quite a few good ones.. but wtv.. it's rare I buy names only with BB in mind

 

[CrocodileDundee]

They have 15 "squad" names listed

Not sure then, maybe they haven't sold any.

 

[cocaseco]

just had 31 names accepted

rejected cardeca, privactive, mavda and some others

Very nice...how many did you have listed before?

 

[cocaseco]

My rejected names
R e c y c l i f y

I liked this name, I think it was in an auction on here right? Surprised it was rejected.

 

[pokainc]

about 170- 200, (some sold to on BB, some to namepros members, some kept and so-on)

When your domain goes live at 2am on a Friday night and doesn't get on the front page.

For real, if you're paying $10 they should at least get tweeted out during business hours. Can we fix this, BB?

The name was Adovi dot com, btw. I like the logo.

Motion for business hour tweeting only.

@Beezy Yep, totally true, who the hell works at 2AM anyways. Nice sounding 5L domains should get front page exposure for sure.

Thanks, Lightthrower.

I'm ok with it not being on the front page. That's a subjective choice they make and I'm sure they have their reasons. But I think tweets should only go out during peak twitter hours, not on a FRIDAY NIGHT AT 2AM!

Maybe it makes no difference, but I assume some of the 1,400 followers of https://twitter.com/BB_Domains are actual buyers.

Misspellings of any single popular word works no matter the length. It doesn't have to be short. Misspellings are mostly garbage if there are two words involved. Stakit would work only if someone like Frank Schilling owns the correct spelling and wants $30,000 for it. Anytime you look at misspellings see if the correct spelling is in use and if not who owns the correct spelling. Someone may not give Schilling $30,000 for StackIt but they will give you $2,500 for Stakit. It all depends on a few important factors.

is there any learner's guide on how to create brandables?

You can check out the names that get published in BrandBucket, Namerific, and BrandRoot.

 

[Beezy]

Have any of you sold a previously approved or published BB name that you bought second hand on namepros?

Not yet, but i did buy a domain for $10 from a NP member and submitted it myself and sold it for 2K on BB

Follow the logic of a brandable word structure. I would divide all brandables in 4 big groups:

Invented words - letter combinations, sometimes meaningless, sometimes evoking some feelings, yet short and pronounceable. (Beezo)

Compound words - two/three keywords combinations, not necessarily related directly to each other (PennyGems)

Portmanteaus (blend words) - a fusion of two words, with some parts truncated, resulting in a new word, blending both meanings into one (SingZilla)

Suffixed (rare preffixed) words - root word joined with a common suffix (preffix), leaving main meaning but with different perception (Shopoic)


What I'm pretty sure about BB filtering, is the name should be virgin (not assigned previously to any business), that is my experience. Reasonable criterion, imo.

@Grossu

FWIW... An Affix is a morpheme that is attached to a word stem to form a new word.

Prefix- comes before the stem
Suffix- Comes after the stem

I am just curious..I have been submitting names on BB for a while & i don't think their approval process can be zeroed down to an algorithm or even approximate rationale.It so random & unpredictable sometimes that one might tend to believe that all it takes is a good mood that's gonna steer it to approval.Jokes apart...Considering they do have a strong,legitimate system for approving names,i believe focusing on "How a name shouldn't sound" will help create more acceptable brandables,than focusing on the million dollar question "What makes a great brandable".

A bit off topic but if BB has exclusive selling rights, how is it so many members have "BB listed" domains for sale here at Namepros? Some are even offering up their complete portfolio. Isn't that against BB TOS or do they make exception for member to member sales?

It is allowed to sell a BB domain to another BB seller because the domain remains on their marketplace.
They implemented a feature to make that kind of transfer between sellers fast and easy.
