How Come No One Helps Johnn?

[tldrental]

We are a member based community here to assist one another in this industry right? or at least most of us anyways.

Johnn keeps trying to run these live auctions here in the forum 100% no commissions from a domain sale.

Time after time we have a very small turnout, the ones that do turnout are just the sellers mainly, no buyers or end users? Who makes money selling to another member on this board, we all buy cheap and sell big.

Cant make any money selling to one another, or at the minimum make less money selling to one another.

I am wondering if any of you that are selling domain names are marketing the live domain auction coming next Friday the 11th?

I am going to be creating some creatives and adding them to my sites, including my developed sites that gather traffic and my Parked.com sites that gather traffic thanks to there custom page features now.

If anyone else would like to post a banner on your website to promote this upcoming live auction event on Friday Dec 11th and you lack the skills to create a banner or other creative, PLEASE PM ME (tldrental) YOUR BANNER SIZE NEEDED FOR YOUR WEBSITE AND I WILL CREATE ONE FOR YOU TO POST ON YOUR WEBSITE.

EVERYONE THAT HAS A WEBMASTER, SEO, OR DOMAINING BLOG SHOULD AS WELL POST THIS LIVE AUCTION!

Sorry for the CAPS guys, I just want to ring some bells about this one.

Contact Johnn and see how you can help him make this silly little internal live auction a national event for future domain trading.


I also own LiveTLDAuction.com w/ all extensions, I have no time to invest in this domain name currently, but if someone would like to callaborate with me and help develop this domain name PM me as well..... HINT....HINT...DotComGod!

I agree, we should be doing more to get these auctions off the ground..

Hmm, I have an idea..

Also, tld if you have a banner perhaps you can make it avail to me too if possible? for my site..

[Adapt Web]

Just wanted to make a point, if the auction is ran from the chat room, that will require a DNFORUM account.. So your audience is limited to who can actually get to that chatroom.

that's a point to consider, including if they (end-users) could get in, would they bid any higher than your fellow reseller?

additionally, how would you certify "unknowns" or guarantee that they would pay for the domain if they won it?

with members, they would jeopardize the loss of reputation or getting banned....with unknowns you have nothing to hold over them, they have nothing to loose.

Tell me what size banner you want, I will cook it up!

[Johnn]

Advertising outside of DNF will get more traffic to the site and hopefully more members (buyers ) will join.

I think only members can join the chat room and bid - I can check with admins on this one.

We also need to have a banner ad here as well. Many members are still not aware of the auction.

Carter will help me for the bookkeeping. I will need at least 2 people to take turn to be the auctioneer.

Thanks,
John

What size banner do you want, and I would love to help you in the auction if no one else steps up to the plate Johnn.

[Johnn]

We can do the regular 468x60 but admin has to put it up (and if it is ok with Adam).

[tldrental]

ok, I will spit one up and send it to you Johnn, do you still need auctioneer?

[hugegrowth]

I'll post the auction on my blog to help get more awareness. Does anyone have a good text ad to use, or else I'll cook something up myself.

John if I only talk english a little better I want help you more than simply bookkeeping you know.

For don't repeat the same errors of the past (and sell domains each other like usual) we need MORE PROMOTION.

1- We need a banner on the forum soon.
2- We can send a special newsletter to all dnf members to remind the auction?
3- The guys have a blogs here (DomainMagnate, Elliotsblog,etc...) need to make some articles!!
4- Can Adam shot a mail to Ron of DNJournal and insert this auction in the "lowdown" section of DNJournal??
5- I have make some promotion on Facebook but I've see many dnf members on FB...guys promote this auction!!

We need more buyers, not more sellers.

2- We can send a special newsletter to all dnf members to remind the auction?

all great ideas Carter but this is probably the top thing to do imo

[Johnn]

I have a thread that members can subscribe if they want to remind.

A newsletter or email that went out the day before would be just great.

I want to help but not as auctioneer, is there any other way to help?

Read the first post of the auction:
- Donate DNF$
- Donate money
- Give free name
To sponsor the auction and to to draw the traffic.

Thanks,
John

Thanks for the banner, but one thing to fix:
It says Friday December 11th, should be Thursday December 11th.

[Yusio]

I don't mean to be a party pooper, but why would I put a banner up to this site on my forum when i get *****ed at for having a small little link in my sig to my site..
