Tips on Buying and Selling Domain Names

It may sound like a crazy idea but some people have actually made money buying, selling and flipping domains. Some have even become millionaires doing this. I'm going to show you how it's performed and teach you what you will need to know to get started. Here's what you need to understand:

You can not make money in domain flipping without first understanding the marketplace. The domain name market is huge and it gets bigger every day. Some folks make their money buying up domains that are worth less than ten dollars each. Other men and women make their money selling domain names that are worth more than a hundred bucks each. In any event, it's plenty of money.

Domains are sold for several distinct reasons. One reason is popular phrases that are in high demand. Hot topics rise in cost when people are trying to find answers to questions about the problem they have. Therefore, popular phrases on health and lifestyle sites such as"I hate cold temperatures" or"weight loss" or"I hate heat" will quickly gain traction in the domain name's market. Once they gain a momentum, they'll be tough to beat.

Another reason people buy domain names would be to resell them later. Reselling domain names is one of the fastest growing forms of domain reversing. A couple of years back domain names were bought and resold with little attention paid to the marketplace. But now there are large directories such as GoDaddy and eBay, where sellers and buyers can register new and old domain names prior to making any sales. So, sellers can purchase hot domains, register them and then quickly sell them for great profits.

If you would like to make the maximum profit buying and selling domains then you'll need to buy enough domains to cover your everyday usage. You should have a minimum of ten domains registered each with a recent Premium domain status. If you are planning on selling all your domain names then you will want to do one of the following: Find a good domain name search engine, enter a list of your desired domain names and run a search. If your domain name is not available from the search results then you will need to buy it from your hosting company.

If you will sell all of your domain names then you need to set aside time every day to check through and purchase any domain names you aren't using. The most valuable domain names are those with no expiration dates and died domain extensions. Once you have bought your domain names, you will need to find new extensions to register in order for your site visitors can access your website. New extensions cost a bit more than regular domain extensions but you can generally sell your old domain names for double the amount of new extensions.
