I've posted the newsletter in full in the private BrandBucket sellers channel in case anyone hasn't seen it.

I've posted the newsletter in full in the private BrandBucket sellers channel in case anyone hasn't seen it.

I don't take sides in the 'for' and 'against' BB stuff. I like to be neutral....just my nature. That's my disclaimer. I'm not taking sides here.

But I really don't see the motivation behind supposedly attempting to keep their newsletter 'private'.

1. The slack channel is less private now anyway.

2. Any seller who has ever given their email to brandbucket gets the newsletter.

3. It'll only benefit sellers (especially small time sellers) to actually see the newsletter, although as I mention they should have gotten it in their email anyway.

4. The people at BB are really cool and kind. I've had nothing but great dealings with them. The company seems to have some great people, including Michael. I sense from them, that they refuse to be involved in this "FOR BB" and "AGAINST BB" tug-o-war. In addition, they don't see the need for BB police - they just do their thing and let the chips fall where they may.

I'd like to think that BB supporters would be like BB. No?

P.S. You can't say BB critics are bad, immature or people who stoop low, and then stoop just as low in the name of 'good'.

Alright, maybe I'm ranting/rambling. #JustWannaLearn #KindaTiredOfTheBackAndForth

Personally, I believe if you hate somethibg or dont agree with then there is no reason why you should waste countless hours discussing and even gathering information about it.

As for the slack, It appears it will be great as I saw the link iny dashboard.

I'm not sure if this is towards me because as I said, I'm neutral.

The slack channel is really great and I am thankful for that I have the opportunity to be a part of it.

Not to you but just pointing out the against bb members that they might actually be doing and helping bb by constantly talking about bb, gathering its data ect. I believe if you have somsthing, leave it and find better or even better, create what is better

Hi Candace,
I don't think anyone is hiding the newsletter its just that the Slack channel is the new alternative for BB sellers to get info about BB so JJ posted it there. Many people forward and share the BB newsletter email and in the past there have been a few times when it's been published here on this thread. And all of that is OK. It's a dedicated email that has the most relevance for BB sellers but others can read it too if they want to.

PS and I totally agree with your sentiment that it's good to be objective and neutral.

Cheers!

Keith

I'm sorry if you took offence and thought I was hiding it, I really wasn't. I tried to upload it here and just couldn't, when I hit post it kept timing out.

The latest newsletter is out. Double click attachment if you can't see it on your device.

You will notice that I've uploaded previous newsletters here so I'm not hiding anything, I just couldn't post this one.

Thanks @Keith DeBoer and thanks @JimJammy for explaining. In that case, forgive my rant.

I'm all about sharing so we can all be successful.

I had been off BB for exactly 8 months and 1 week. I sold some names that were listed there but for higher amounts and all self brokered. However, I must admit as well that there are a lot of names that were tough to sell without a brandable marketplace. I was frustrated from a lot of things there, but now im frustrated from other business aspects related to selling rate, selling amounts are good but rates are not! I am thinking to retain the very high end of the portfolio that usually gets inquiries and relist what I had in there, especially the 6L names that I got.

I did read through a lot of the newsletters coming in every now and then, as well as almost every post on this thread since I left. I guess my biggest mistake was publishing everything that was accepted which is sometimes stupid! If I totally disagree about a price or if a name can fetch 3x the price elsewhere, I shoiuld hold it for a longer period instead of letting it go for cheap.

I will be relisting around 80% of what was previously listed and will test for a run of 3 months.

What do you think guys?

 

[JimJammy]

Been there, done that, Bazabizo!

I too registered names solely for the purpose of getting them listed on BB to begin with. I didn't leave but I did have a good clean out! I did this quite early on (about 3 months after I joined) so the impact wasn't so great for me as I think it might be for you.

Now (like you plan to do) I list names that I want to keep but don't think I can sell myself for BB prices with BB, and names that I think I can sell myself (no commission) I list on my own site or a marketplace.

It means my BB STR is lower than most but I end up with more money in my pocket at the end of the day this way. It works for me.

What's the worst thing that can happen if you relist? You've already paid the fees and can just relist. You can remove them again if you feel it isn't working for you.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

I know you had a lot of 6Ls in your portfolio especially 6Ls that are CVCVCV in pattern. That pattern is a dime a dozen and there are literally thousands listed at BB. I can make a list of thousands of BB accepted names with that pattern in about 5 minutes with very simple software. They literally are a dime a dozen.
The much harder to create and seems to be more sellable pattern are names that sold last month like Omnero, Scorius, Clixxa etc..... I'm not saying that CVCVCV don't sell but if you don't have a partial keyword within the name then that pattern is much harder to sell.
Brandworthy, who has very similar 6Ls as you seems to be dissatisfied with his sales at BB right now. He mentioned it in the Brandable Sales Analysis thread.

https://www.namepros.com/threads/brandable-daily-sales-analysis.945088/

If you do plan on re-listing names I would pick the ones that have at least a partial keyword in the name. I am not trying to sway you in anyway but just giving you a true unbiased opinion since I have no stake in what you do either way.

I had a sale yesterday. It's a 7L invented word, with no keyword stem. I think the advice around having some relationship to a keyword is good, and I've been trying for the past 6 months or so to better balance my portfolio between pure brandables and keyword brandables.

I'm still unhappy with my sales rate, but a sale is a sale, so thank you Brandbucket.

My first published! 10$ is a good price IMO to get it published on BB and also get a logo.

Congrats

I do have to say the logo confuses me. The A looks like an upside down E more that an A, so I was actually thinking if it was tropago or tropego.

Might just be me

Congrats! Can I ask you what sales rate would you be happy with?

Fwiw my recent sale was exceptionally similar to your first name. Mine was T * R * E * L * A * G * O.

I'd like 2-3 sales per month. At the start of the year that's where I was, but over summer BB sales were dismal for me. Quite good private sales thankfully, but that's not what I'm paying 30% commissions and exclusivity for.

 

[Domain Monk]

as summers is over i think that kind of sale is possible @Brandworthy , i have 100 + domains still waiting for the 1st sale
