LinkedIn Ghostwriting FAQ

Questions about LinkedIn ghostwriting for busy founders and domain investors.

What does a LinkedIn ghostwriter actually do? +
I write your LinkedIn posts in your voice, reply to comments and messages, and keep your profile active. You approve the posts before they go live, so nothing goes out that you haven't seen.
Who is LinkedIn ghostwriting for? +
Founders, brokers and domain investors who know LinkedIn matters but don't have time to post. If your last post was months ago, this is for you.
Will the posts sound like me? +
That's the goal. We start with a short call about how you talk and what you care about. I also write one free sample post first, so you can judge the voice before paying for anything.
Why a ghostwriter who works in domains? +
I'm a domain broker and investor myself. I already know the terms, the audience and what people in this space respond to, so you won't spend time explaining basics.
How much does LinkedIn ghostwriting cost? +
Plans start at $199 a month for 8 posts. Growth is $349 a month for 12 posts plus daily engagement, and Full Presence is $549 a month for 16 posts plus inbox handling. The first three clients get founding rates of $149, $279 and $449. A single post is $39. See the ghostwriting plans.
How does the free sample post work? +
Message me with a few lines about your work. I write one post and send it back. If you like it, we talk about a plan. If not, you keep the post and we part as friends. Ask for your free sample.
How long before I see results from LinkedIn ghostwriting? +
LinkedIn rewards consistency, so expect to post for 6 to 8 weeks before the pattern shows. I can't promise followers or leads, but a regular, clear presence makes it easier for people to find and trust you.
Can I cancel my LinkedIn ghostwriting plan anytime? +
Yes. Plans are monthly, with no long contract.

Domain Buying, Naming & Brokerage FAQ

Trademark clearance, UDRP history, valuation, buying, naming and brokerage. New to this? Read why the names you reject matter most.

What is DIOS? +
DIOS stands for Domain Investing Operating System — a personal domain valuation and clearance framework built by Imteaz (Galib) Chowdhury for Domain Decoded. It runs a binary reject gate — trademark conflict, UDRP history, Wayback Machine history, phonetic collision, portfolio cannibalization, and negative semantic load in other languages — followed by an 11-factor weighted score for names that pass. See the full framework on the DIOS workflow page.
How does trademark clearance work for a domain? +
Every domain is checked against USPTO TESS and a broader trademark search before it's added to the portfolio. If there's an active trademark conflict in a relevant class, or a pending application close enough to create risk, the domain is rejected — no score, no listing, regardless of how good the name sounds. See the full process in the due-diligence workflow.
What factors determine a domain's valuation? +
Pricing is based on comparable closed sales from NameBio, not asking prices or gut feeling. Factors include length, word structure, category fit, brandability, trademark clearance, and which venue a domain sells through — Sedo negotiated sales and GoDaddy auction-floor sales for similar names can differ by 7 to 8 times for the same type of domain. See the real math in this pricing breakdown.
What is UDRP history and why does it matter? +
UDRP (Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy) history shows whether a domain name has ever been the subject of a cybersquatting complaint. A domain with UDRP history, or one that's phonetically close to a name that has been disputed, carries a scar that can resurface as a legal risk for the next owner. Every domain is checked for this before it's listed.
Why is comparable-sales data used instead of the seller's asking price? +
Asking prices reflect what a seller hopes to get, not what a domain actually sells for. Comparable-sales data from real closed transactions on NameBio, Sedo, and GoDaddy shows what the market has actually paid for similar names — which is why a name that "sounds premium" at $10,000 might realistically sell for $3,000 to $4,500.
What due-diligence process does every domain go through before it's listed? +
Every domain passes through a five-stage workflow: brainstorming and shortlisting candidates, trademark and USPTO clearance, a Wayback Machine history audit for spam or adult-content history, comparable-sales valuation, and a final radio test for pronunciation and memorability. A domain that fails any stage is rejected. Full breakdown on the workflow page.
Can I negotiate the listed price on a domain? +
Yes. The listed price on marketplaces like Sedo or Afternic isn't always the final word — reaching out directly by email or WhatsApp often works out a better deal than the public listing price.
Do you offer custom domain naming services for startups? +
Yes. Beyond the existing portfolio, custom naming consultations are available — a tailored shortlist of 15 to 20 brandable name candidates, each checked for trademark conflicts and availability, built around a startup's category and tone. See services and pricing.
What happens after I buy a domain? +
Domain transfers are handled through secure escrow or the marketplace's built-in transfer process (Sedo, Afternic, or GoDaddy), with follow-up support to make sure the handoff goes smoothly.
Are the Scholarship domains affiliated with any government or scholarship provider? +
No. JapanScholarship.com, SingaporeScholarship.com, FranceScholarship.com and IrelandScholarship.com have no connection to any government body, university or scholarship provider. They are exact-match names, and each was checked for trademarks, Wayback history and backlinks. IrelandScholarship.com once hosted an official programme site run by an unrelated Irish organisation, which is disclosed in full in the case study. See the scholarship domains case study for every check.
How much does a domain from the portfolio cost? +
Brandable domains from the current portfolio are priced from $500 to $5,000. Each one has a trademark check and a clean ownership history, and the price is benchmarked against comparable sales. See the naming and brokerage services.
How does domain acquisition brokerage work? +
If you want a domain that someone else owns, I identify the owner, negotiate the purchase and close the deal. The fee is a 10 to 20 percent commission. See services and pricing.
What is a brand and domain audit? +
It is a review of your current domain or brand name that covers trademark risk, credibility and growth-readiness, ending with a written recommendation. It costs $100 to $300.

Pricing & Payment FAQ

How prices, payment and extra work are handled, for both services.

Are your prices fixed? +
No price is completely fixed, and we can discuss it. The room to move is limited, though, because the prices are already set at a reasonable level.
How can I pay? +
You can pay by Payoneer or bank transfer, whichever you are most comfortable with. With a Payoneer invoice you can pay using a Visa, Mastercard or any other credit or debit card. If you prefer a bank transfer, that works without any problem.
What if I need something that is not on the list? +
If you need work beyond the listed services, we agree on the price together before I start.
What do you need from me? +
To finish the work well, I need your cooperation: clear information about your business or project, and timely feedback or approvals.
