Hand Registration Contest - March 2019 - DOT COM only

[BrandCougar]

Let's see who can acquire the best .COM hand registration during the month of March? "Best" will be determined by your peers. You have to create it during the month of March 2019. As long as it says created 03-2019 it could have been a name born before that died and lost its age. Let me be clear, for this March contest the name has to be a new DOT COM hand reg that you own.

Here are the rules of this DOT COM HAND REG MARCH 2019 contest:

1. Hand registration during the month of March 2019.
2. You may submit up to 7 domain names. (Each name submitted must have it's OWN Reply post).
3. So if you want to submit 7 names, submit SEVEN separate Reply posts.
4. I am excluding myself from entering the contest, since I am facilitating the event!
5. The Top 20 Finalist will be selected the following way .---> (10) "Likes" entries with the most "Likes" in the thread and (10) Wildcard entries selected by a team of 5 panelist from the NamePros community. The 5 panelist will be announced after month end to avoid mid-month lobbying. Additionally, the 5 panelist (Wildcard pickers) will be be non-participants in the contest to avoid a conflict of interest and will be respected NPros members that have a wealth of experience in domaining. The panelist members will be a familiar lot.
6. The WINNER will be selected by your peers via a TOP 20 POLL from the Top 20 Finalist mentioned above.
7. The TOP 20 POLL will occur at the end of the month. This will be a 72 hour poll.
8. We welcome EVERYONE to participate in selecting the WINNER from the Top 20 Finalist list.
9. In the event of a TIE during with winner polling, the tie-breaker will go to the WINNER with the earlier submission posted to this thread. (a plan to avoid any misunderstand should a tie occur)


TOP 20 Finalist

• Finalist Pick 10 - those 10 names with the most "likes" make it to the Top 20 (user involvement).
• Finalist Pick 10 - those 10 names that a panel selects make it to the Top 20 (panel involvement).
• Top 20 Poll - this involves everyone, but only for a 72 hour window at month end (ALL involvement).

What do you win?

• Number one, props and recognition here at Namepros.
• I will personally pay $20 JACKPOT (via PayPal) to the WINNER.
• Anyone wishing to contribute an additional $0.30 to the Jackpot - contact me via PM - and I will add your contribution on top of the $20 Jackpot I have committed (let's see how large a Jackpot we can build).

* Sponsors welcome. Send me a PM.

THANK YOU!!!


More great news...

Last night we had another NP member contribute to the Winner's Jackpot ($9.00).

The Jackpot is now at $59.

I hesitate to ask... but... it does beg the question...

Will this Jackpot hit $100 this month?

This contest continues to gain momentum and recognition. The added $$ contributed to the Jackpot helps to bring additional eye-balls to the contest... and with more participation... there is a larger group of individuals providing "Likes" for the Entries as part of our audience voting.

Thank you for the terrific submissions and generous "Likes" being posted to those individual entries. Your 2 clicks means a lot to the Participants.

Nothing more exciting than to get a NamePros Alert indicating that one of your submissions has been recognized.

Please recognize 1-2 Entries today via a "Like" that you feel deserves recognition.

Have a great day!

*** SPOTLIGHT ***

The "Spotlight" program appears to be popular. Glad everyone is enjoying them.

While reviewing the current Contest Summary by "Likes" Report earlier this week, I noticed a few Participants had more than one Entry in the Top 50 ranking. It appears they have an eye for finding solid Hand Regs and the audience is posting "Likes" to those Entries. Congrats!

This got me thinking that I should start a "Spotlight" program in this thread, so we could learn a little bit about their domaining journey and ask them to share a few insights with us..

This will be our 9th Spotlight post and our guest this morning is: @handpicked


I think you will like the "Spotlight" program this month as each individual shares a bit about their domaining background, the sites & tools they use, the current industry sectors they see as promising, along with a little advise for those new to the business.

It's a mini-interview series of 4-5 direct questions and I hope you enjoy this piece. (see below).

----------------------------------------------

Q & A with @handpicked


1) What year did you register your 1st domain? How long have you been an active domainer?
I'm not a full time domainer, I am actually a factory worker (Engineer) like the one depicted in the legendary 'modern times' movie. I regged a dot org name in 2015 and sold it for 250$, again regged one more dot org in 2016 and sold for 250$. This arouse my interest but I never gave it a shot full time. Now once again I am trying to make something of it by having a branding blog myself called BrandProdigy dot com which I am designing/coding it myself.

2) What is your preferred Registrar for Hand Registering domains?
I do not own a large portfolio. For the (50+) names I own and also names for my blogs, I have used a combination of:

• Uniregistry (easy one click checkout and search trust),
• Bigrock (accepts my country's currency, has local presence here),
• Bluehost for ccTLD (accepts my country's currency, has local presence and linking to their hosting is easy as essentially they are hosting guru's),
• Namecheap (recent addition, respect their consistent low pricing and performance),
• Namesilo (new discovery, I registered BrandProdigy with them).

3) What are your preferred Topics / Industry Sectors that you see as promising?
Branding. I see lots of potential in the technology, lifestyle and health sector. It's highly speculative, it's said that 66% of all business is disrupted in the past 15 years (techcrunch), many of them shut shop and a whole lot of them have sprouted with a different skin.

4) What sales channel(s), platform(s), or sales landing page site(s) do you use?
GD auctions and outbound, now at NP too.

5) Any suggestions for someone new to domaining?
I'm not an expert, but to air my opinion, I feel domaining is a good business when done well. Nothing to be scared of, more so, one can network with amazing people on the way. It's like photography. Some of your snaps click while others suck, but, some photographers make it big. Learn the craft from experts here at NP and strike right. strike hard. don't discount. You win. And one last word don't spam for heaven's sake..

More good news to share with the group...

This afternoon we had (drum roll please) another NP member contribute to the Winner's Jackpot ($20.00).

The Jackpot is now at $79.00.

I am beginning to think we might hit a $XXX Jackpot this month.

Will the Jackpot hit $100 this month?

This contest continues to gain recognition and the Entries continue to roll in. The added $$ contributed to the Jackpot helps to bring additional eye-balls to the contest... and with more participation... there is a larger group of individuals providing "Likes" for the Entries as part of our audience voting.

Nothing more exciting than to get a NamePros Alert indicating that one of your submissions has been recognized. Some of your Entries have received quite a few "Likes". Congrats!

To celebrate our latest Jackpot increase - please recognize 1-2 Entries tonight via a "Like". Make someone's day with a well deserved NamePros Alert.

Have a good one!
