1. How to Sell Domain Names to
Make Money Online
In this special report, you will learn how to sell domain names to make money
online. Domain flipping business is a very lucrative venture only if you
understand the art and science of trading in virtual real estate. In other
words, you can only succeed to the extent of your knowledge and experience
in the online real estate industry.
I am saying this because any profitable business (online or offline) where large
chunks of money is exchanging hands on a daily basis is bound to be hyper
competitive. That is to say, it is an online business opportunity of the survival
of the fittest.
But before I go into finer points of how to make money selling domain names
for profit on the internet, let’s quickly discuss the basics of one of the best
online business opportunities you can start today.
What is a Domain Name?
A domain name is the unique address which every internet user types into
his/her favourite web browser in order to go to the website or blog associated
with it. A domain name can be a combination of letters or words, numeric or
alpha-numeric and can retain hyphen between words. For example, the
popular Facebook.com is a domain name with the extension or TLD of .com
If a domain is not trademarked, different persons can register the same
domain but with different TLDs (top level domain). That is Facebook.com,
Facebook.net and Facebook.org can be owned by 3 different individuals
and/or corporations on first come, first serve domain registration basis.

2. A domain name, otherwise known as virtual real estate is an online business
asset that can be bought and sold for profit in the online marketplaces. As
soon as you register a specific domain with say dot com extension, every other
webmasters or internet business owners who are interested in the same name
with .com TLD can only get it from you at an agreed price if you are even
willing to sell.
This is because domain names are registered on first come first serve basis.
This is why flipping domain names has become a viable internet business which
is growing at a fast pace.
You may be aware how popular generic one-word domains found in the
dictionary were sold for millions of dollars including Business.com for $7.5m,
Diamond.com for $7.5m, Sex.com for $13m, FB.com for $8.5m, Porn.com for
$9.5m and so on.
Although you cannot lay your hands on these types of great domains worth
millions of dollars anymore, there is domain flipping secrets that will help you
to make money on the internet and become successful in domaining business.
If you are remotely interested on how to sell domain names to make money
online, you can follow some of the tips shared below. Also, our Simplified
Website Flipping Guide gives you step by step instructions on how to sell
domain names for profit including blog and website flipping on the internet.
First and foremost, make sure you register or buy a domain name that is short,
marketable, memorable, keyword rich, trademark infringement free, and so
on. These are some of the qualities of a good domain name which you have to
consider carefully before investing in any internet real estate.
To be frank with you, a premium domain name will sell itself if you have one
in your domain portfolio. You will start receiving offers and enquiries from
potential buyers who are willing to purchase it from you on a regular basis.

3. A lot of aspiring domain name investors does not consider all or most of the
characteristics of a good domain before filling up their portfolio with junks
which they cannot sell anytime soon.
We are talking of serious investment here where you are dealing with shrewd
investors at arm’s length transaction. Before they can part with their hard-
earned money, they will definitely put into consideration their ROI (return on
investment) based on some basic website investing information.
So, before you go out to sell your domain, take a cursory look at some of the
recent domain sales similar to yours. If a virtual real estate which is similar to
your own is sold for $500, then it doesn’t make business sense to expect
$5,000 from your domain for sale except there is something you believe is
unique about your name and potential buyers also agree with you.
The shorter a domain name is the higher value it commands. Short domain
names have intrinsic high value especially commercially oriented generic
keyword domains. For example, Business.com will have a higher value than
BusinessIdeas.com and BusinessIdeas.com will be more valuable than
BusinessIdeasHub.com.
If you have 2 to 7 letters or 1 to 3 word domain names, it will sell fast as long
as you can associate it with specific noble or business idea which a person or
corporation have in mind to promote online. If it is a keyword domain with
high monthly search volume, you are really in luck.
Another strategy on how to sell domain names to make money online is buying
and selling expired domains. Expiring and/or dropped domains market is vast
and it is money-spinner. The idea is to research and find expired domain
names that have existing traffic, backlinks all over the web, age of the domain
is over one year, high page rank, and so forth. The truth is that if you have a
winning domain, the hassles of marketing and selling it will be easy on you.
Now that I have sorted out the basics of domain flipping business, this is how
to sell domain names fast on the internet.

4. Firstly, you have to update your WhoIs info for the domain name which you
want to sell. Your email address and phone number should be correct in case
desperate buyers want to directly reach you on their own.
You have to also add the phrase “This Domain Is For Sale” after your admin
contact name in the WhoIs records. This is to let potential buyers know that
the domain is for sale by owner. This is the first step to get the ball rolling. As
a domainer, you have to be calculating to make money flipping domain names
online.
Secondly, develop your domain name if you think it is not stellar. This is the
best strategy which always works for successful domainers and internet
entrepreneurs. There is cut-throat competition in the expired domains market
and finding new names to register is now close to impossible.
Researching and finding deleted domain which has value takes time, money,
effort, experience and tools. Also, selling domains that are unused or
undeveloped will not fetch you good money especially if they are below
average names.
If you are creating a simple website on a dropped domain with quality traffic
and backlinks, you will have less work to do in terms of promoting and
marketing your website and its value will increase instantly. You can then sell
your website either as established or starter at Flippa.com, Sedo.com and
other reliable domain marketplaces.
Thirdly, you can reach out to pay per click advertisers on Google.com,
Yahoo.com, Bing.com, etc who are actively bidding on a keyword in your
internet property. But you must give good reason why your domain for sale is
superior to the one they are currently using to market online.
A lot of aspiring online entrepreneurs who want to go into domaining business
must understand that they are selling profitable business with its assets and
not just empty/unused/undeveloped domain in name only. Anybody can buy a
domain name for $10 or less from a registrar.

5. The only biggest reason why a webmaster or online business owner will go out
of his way to invest in your virtual real estate is if it is of high quality, has
existing traffic and making money online consistently. Other than that, it must
be a premium domain name i.e one-word, two-word, keyword rich or 2 to 7
letters.
