Hello ,

Finding endusers and their emails through whois is really a time taking task what I did is that I hired a freelancer to create a program that does all this for me and lists the email and name of all contacts as well as the website,title on an excel sheet.

The potential websites are all from google and match the keyword(s) of my domain.

The whois part seems to be a tough one as 2 of the freelancers were't able to overcome that part but another freelancer completed the project.

So just a suggestion guys , you can do the same and end up saving lots of time and attaining more sales.

I use google instead for contacting end-users one by one. It works for me.

And this my friend is the essence of outreaching to end-users professionally.

But I do believe that such tools; when used right (without any intent of spamming) can save a lot of time, a lot of it. Just my 2 cents though.

The tool does the same thing but it saves time, how can you relate this to spam , it doesn't send any emails.

I am not relating it to spam my friend. Read my post again please. I did say that the tool can be used for spamming by sending emails to every contact the tool finds for the searched keywords, even relevant or not. That's spamming; right?

Hope it clears.

Never tried tools of this kind because thousands of domainers use them ending up spamming people and not make a sale.

This is true if you are a domain investor you are bound to have a lot of domains and you will naturally get a lot of unrelated offers. If on the other hand you have just a few domains then you do not view the offers as spam. I am not defending or attacking spamming, just sharing my experience.

i would buy is there any onetime fee

Unfortunately, this is not feasible because extraction of emails and the entire platform take up resources that have to be paid for every month. A one time fee is usually indicative of a low quality product with no support or further innovation.

You get what you pay for.

i used Domainero and it is the perfect tool.

i would buy is there any onetime fee. (i'm not into the domaining for whole month, just a few days in month or so. few months i never into. so monthly payment is little bit costly for me)

BTW: if you spend only $80, i can send you $80 and please make it available free for every namepros member.

I agree I tried the free trial and works perfect to get the email from the relevant sites quickly and export it as an Excel. To be able to gather emails in one shot it costs only 25 a month. I would rather do this and then manually email the end users personally from your personal email.

I prefer not to you the email blaster they have. Jut rather make it a bit personal especially if I can see the name of the person. The old school way to do it is by going on ZFbot and then whois but it takes forever. Once I run out of leads from Domainero then I focus on looking at companies/sites who advertise on Google Adwords to rank for my specific keyword domain.

I use the approach giles is using. Taking the time to research the company and the people and make sure I'm contacting the right person and personalizimg before sending an email not only increases reponse rate, but it keeps you from getting spam blacklisted.

If you email the [email protected] or the WHOIS, it really reduces your chances of a sale, because most of the time the email will not make it to any decision-makers inbox, it will just get deleted as spam. If a receptionist, marketing or sales person gets the email, 95% of them will delete it and that is a waste of everyones time, especially yours.

If you are approaching Cisco for example, just google this "cisco exec team"

The first few pages are below and from this I have the names of the following positions, you are more than likely going to make a sale if one of these people sees the value in the domain, then work out the email format. type in "Cisco email format" in Google as well and it will show you

How do you use this method for smaller companies, something like Denver Hair Salon?

How do you use this method for smaller companies, something like Denver Hair Salon?

If you read my earlier post you will see I mentioned other sites like LinkIn etc, I use those as well as Google and their website to find out the decision makers..I mean if they dont have an "exec team" then obviously try and find the owner of the company and then figure out what email format they use and then e,mail the owner

It really depends how small the company is obviously, I don't really focus too much on really small family businesses (like a small hair salon) because they probably aren't going to pay decent $$ for a domain so it not worth the time IMO..if it was a larger chain of hair salons, now that would be a different story

It amazing what info you can find on small companies on LinkIn, even by typing "Denver hair salons Linked" in Google

https://www.linkedin.com/title/hair-stylist/greater-denver-area

Oh i agree , you focus on selling geo domains?

I sell all sorts of names, I don't really focus on one niche or industry

If a receptionist, marketing or sales person gets the email, 95% of them will delete it and that is a waste of everyones time, especially yours.

This stands true for big and medium sized businesses. But small business owners put their real contact information in whois most of the time, they do not mind spam because they do not get a lot of it like domain investors do. Small business owners have a natural tendency to fill out real information when registering domains. They often have very little experience with computers or internet, and they do not know what scraping whois is, and that it results in spam. Registrars will make you confirm your email, and also send you technical and billing data, and to people who are not domain professionals, this is a huge deal.

With that said, I personally do what you do as well. I first send out the whois emails, then I find leads that I consider to be of higher quality, find alternate contact information for them, and offer again. I can not say exactly what part of my sales are from these "non-whois" emails, it is hard to tell and I would rather spend time selling than doing statistics. The reason I do it because I have a theory about email deliverability and that sending to alternate addresses will bring a better response. I have a theory that up to 50% of all email is not delivered at all (not based on any scientific research, this is just what I believe) and that sending to alternate addresses increases delivery.

So in short, I completely agree with what you are doing, I just do it for other reasons :)

If you are using linux, you could do that already with a one liner shell script.

Maybe I'll post it.

.

This will work fine if you have a lot of proxies. If not you will get blocked after a few 100 queries. Depends from whois server to whois server but you get the point.

I do get the point. But for ordinary searches a shell script is enough. One can also do round robin on different whois servers.
