Buying and Selling Domain Names For Profit

I had some one ask me this question: “Can you make money Buying and Selling Domain Names?”

It’s a great question really, and many of you would say ohhh “that’s only something really smart people do” and “I have missed the boat there are no more good names out there to buy” and there are several dozen other excuses that I can think of that you could make as well.

Domain Names, URL’s or Web Address’s are all ways of owning some sort of virtual real estate. There is great money to be made in this form of Real Estate. If you think about it a domain name is very similar to owning a plot of land. You see, once someone lives at that “Plot of land” then that’s it no one else can buy that plot until it comes up for sale again..

Domain names are the same, once someone has bought the name it can no longer be used again. It can be sold but there will no longer be that name ever sold like that again.

Some will say that’s not right Gail, there is a Street address just like mine in another city or town, well that’s true, but it is not the same as yours is it, it is different, another words it is a variation of your address but it is not the same, the house will be different, there will be many differences….  and the same can be said on various forms of the domain name, you can have a .net, .org, .biz and a few variations but you will never get www.yourname.com again. Well unless it comes up for sale.

As I said it can be bought and sold and that’s where you can make an extremely good living.

It can be very frustrating though, I remember a few years ago someone bought a variation of my name and then tried to sell it back to me. I was really annoyed but hey, he was doing what I was teaching, he could have done it to someone else though ;-) In answer to your question, no I did not buy it off him, and since he has let it go. But all the same, what are your thoughts on buying another persons name and then trying to resell it back to them? Have you ever done that before, it was taught many years ago as a great strategy.

You might find this video really interesting that was on in USA news…. check it out as they decided if  Buying and Selling Domain Names For Profit is profitable.

 

I was recently at an Internet Marketing seminar and there were some folks talking about how much money they make buying and selling domain names and also websites. They spoke of buying website from sites like Flippa that had amazing web address’s then changing the site if needed, then they would either hold onto the site or they would flip it for a huge profit. They talked about how easy it was, I have to say I have sold a lot of websites and made great money doing so. But have not spent time just doing the Buying and Selling of domain names for profit. I don’t think I have the patience to look for domain names to buy. I am like that with property as well :-)

However I see that for some this could be a great way to earn extra cash online. On looking around to who is actually doing this successfully I note an interesting trait … that is these same people who buy and sell to flip also love to do the same with property. When the folk I spoke of earlier talked about buying and selling domain names and websites they also do property and apply very similar rules to their web domain business.

Buying and Selling Domain Names For Profit: Warning

Be very careful about diving right into this and buying domain names. There is a huge word of warning here…… DO NOT BUY TRADE MARK NAMES…

Don’t get served Notice like I did…. scary

I have been served 4 times from companies whose names I bought. I did not even think about Trade Marks and things like that. 2 years ago I got 4 letters one after the other from high powered Lawyers that were going to sue me for every cent I had…. man I was scared. I had a couple of the letters come that I even had to sign for… so be careful. In my country we are not used to all this suing nonsense, all they needed to do was send a letter and I would have taken it down. But there you go thats what some countries do all day they search the Internet seeing who they can sue the pants off ( as we say here) In saying that I know how annoyed I get when people buy forms of my name so if the boot was on the other foot how would you feel if someone took your name, or your company name or product and used it…..

These people ripped me off and I got hoping mad…

I have also had this happen which has been even more annoying…. I had 3 really good domain names, one had facebook in address, one had yahoo and another had another company in there, shall remain nameless…. they were extremely good URL’s and worth money… after about 2 years of me using them and promoting them, I got these letters telling me I would be sued if I carried on using them and to let them go immediately… well from past experience I acted immediately… then I found out, the letters were fake and now someone else is using the domain names grrrrrrrr. I should have realised as all 3 letters were identical, anyway hindsight is a great thing.

I have this great report all about buying and selling domain names for profit. I had it written last year. It is fantastic and will help you to decide if this is something that you could do. All the pitfalls are in there, so you won’t have to go through what I went through. Nothing like someone else’s experience as a teacher right!

Here are some of the things I cover for you:

 

 

None of the above bad things need to happen to you, I have been there done that, given you the warnings, for you it’s simple now. I suggest you take a look at this report it really will be very helpful to you. That’s why I had it written so you don’t need to go through what I have been through.

I look every other day on Flippa to see what there is for sale, and 2 weeks ago put bids on a domain and website I wanted but then it went higher than I was prepared to pay. This style of Internet Marketing will suit some of you and you will love it.

I am selling the report for just $7 and it is $7 well spent, I suggest if you are really keen to get into Buying and Selling Domain Names for profit then this will be very helpful.

  7. do I sell ebooks, software or physical product?

So right below is a Infographic that will show you a step by step just through the How to do affiliate marketing maze. Of course there is more to it, like keywords and SEO so I have some info graphics for those as well. I will put the links below.

I hope this helps you through the Affiliate Maze about and will give you at least 7 step process.


How to do Affiliate Marketing questions answered

Now I know it all looks a bit simplistic but the thing is it is simplistic. You just need to follow steps and then it all comes together.

So in answer to questions above…

  1. where do I start?
  2. how do I find a product?
  3. how do I get paid?
  4. do I have to have my own product?
  5. can I make money with affiliate marketing?
  6. do I need to keep stock?

1. Where do you start? Find the niche, found out what you want to build your site around. There is a lot going on in the world today, people want answers to all sorts of things so go find out what people want to know, then provide the answer for them.

2. How do I find a product? In the How to do affiliate marketing infographic above there is a list of places you can go and find a product to promote so go there and see what you can find to sell.

3. How do I get paid? Well each place is a little different, some pay you into your account, some into Paypal and that’s the best way for me, some send a cheque. So read their fine print and find out what they do.

4. Do I have to have my own product? no you don’t just use someone else’s especially when starting out. Then down the track get your own product. Then instead of earning say 50% you earn 100% of the sales price.

5. Can I make money with Affiliate Marketing? Yes you can, you just have to do it right. It is a good idea to follow a system and I teach you a 7 Step System with the IMM Academy.

How to Install a Subdomain

How to Install a SubdomainHow to add a subdomain

How to install a sub-domain? well it is very easy. Make sure you can get access into your C-panel and then decide which URL or Web Address you want to attach the sub-domain to.

This is a question I have had a few times now and so I thought I would do a short video and show you and also tell you why you would use this feature.

 

Ok…. lets back track a little, before we get ahead of ourselves. Why would you want to use a sub-domain?

Lets give you a couple of ideas:

1. You have a chosen niche and everything you do will be in that niche

2. You have a limited budget and you can’t afford lots of domain names.

3. You are in MLM company and you have a website setup you can all use but want different names in subdomain

4. You just like the idea that you can make a great sentence with a sub-domain added :-)

These are all valid ideas and points. You will see in the video below I have used the sub-domain to great use in setting up websites to lease out in my community. So just by taking my city name I can add whatever in the front. Its very keyword rich as well. So you can do lots of things with the Sub-domain idea.

Does Google recognise a Subdomain.

 
Google Places ImageAs I am not Google I won’t even guess on this one. I can say however that I have seen many website URL’s at the top of Google that are sub-domains. Also in case of Business it’s fine with Google Places. So it won’t cost you to try it out will it, all I can say is make sure that what you put together in a subdomain makes sense and is in same niche. I am sure that will help, but cannot say for sure as Google has it’s own rules. I did a post earlier about buying Doamin Names that sell you might want to check that out if you need help in buying Domains.
 

Subdomain give You More options

It’s so ture it give you so many options, you can add whatever you want in the front and am sure some of you can be quite inventive and depending on the domain that you bought some domains could be quite funny and memorable. But as said above make sure you keep it all in the same niche when adding in the subdomain.

 

Check out the Video: How to Add A Sub-domain below.

Live Internet Marketing Training

Live Internet Marketing Training

Live Webinar  A to Z Internet Marketing Training. Register Here

I am about to spend the next couple of months in different parts of the world running Live Internet Marketing Training. It’s one of the best parts of Internet Marketing that I love. I love to see the look in peoples eyes as they finally get a website up online, or they manage to make their first Video or first header to go on their very new website. I have to say I have shed many a tear as I have seen people who told me they were pretty useless at learning, and then complete  delight as they achieved something that they thought impossible.

To build a website is no mean feat, the technical hurdles to get over are huge when all you have ever done is written the odd email, and surfed the net to watch videos or find out the latest sports score. So I take my hat off to the hundreds of people who have come to my “sneaky Workshops”, “Get A Website in a Day” or the A to Z Internet Marketing Bootcamps. You all deserve a medal.

Live Internet Marketing Training is hard work but I love it way too much to stop doing it. As long as the people want it and come then I am there to do it. There is an abundance of Training out there online. I guess everything you will ever want to know is there for you. You just have to know where to find it. And who really has the time to chase around and find those answers. So I do my best to give the answers as we go and make the entire live event an amazing experiance.

Live Internet Marketing Training best experiance I have had….

that’s the testimonials I get at the event and after the event, over and over again. Just this morning I was talking to a gentleman who attended the AtoZ Internet Bootcamp in USA with his daughter… video below, he was telling me his daughter was so excited and she loved the experience so much that she is now building websites for other people. Only 4 weeks later she has built 2 sites for a couple of business’s. How cool is that. I have other who have been at the different live events who are now, building websites, making banners, making videos, and running webinars all because of what they learnt at the live Internet Marketing Training event. I am very excited about it.



Peoples lives are changed at the Live Internet Marketing Training..

If you have never been to one of my live events you need to get to one… I am serious. You could change the course of your life.

There are hundreds of business’s out there that need your help. I can show you how to help them. Building a website can have a challenge for the first time round if you have never built one but after that it’s pretty easy. Become the local expert in your area.

At our live Training events we are constantly being told that the small business owner wants to be able to control their website, to be able to make updates and make changes when there is a special or a change in price and not have to schedule it weeks out so their web designer can fit it in when he has the time.

How good would it be to be in charge if you are a business owner, or teach a business owner to be in charge. Then they can make the changes that need to be made or they can hire you to do it. It’s all about choice and so many business owners have no choice as their web developer often make the rules.

If you just want to Make money Online with some Easy Money Making Ideas the the Live Internet Marketing Training is for you as well. I share so many ideas with you at these Live Events you just need to come. Here’s the deal, if you are not happy with the content, or the way I present it.. at the end of the first day I will give you your money back. I just know that you will love the AtoZ Internet Marketing Bootcamp which is my next big live weekend event.

Traffic, Traffic, Traffic….

Yes at the Live Internet Marketing Training Events we spend alot of time teaching and showing how to get traffic as well. It’s not much use having a website and no traffic. Not just any traffic, we want traffic that has money and is interested in what we have to sell..

I show you how to submit your sites to as many free places as well can, and also talk about Pinging and RSS feeds and Social Bookmarking. So really these are awesome weekends, packed with content and also you get to do what I teach, is there a better way to learn :-)
