How to Flip Domain Names for Profit

In this blog post, I will discuss a very profitable online business idea i.e. how to flip domain names for profit. It involves buying and selling domain names for profit and it is budget friendly. The value of domain names is always appreciating because the right to use a domain is on first come first served basis. Two persons cannot own the same name with same extension at the same time. To this end, whoever is interested in using specific name must approach the incumbent owner to buy it from him or her at arm’s length transaction and on the assumption that the owner is even willing to sell. 

There are different types of domain names which you can buy and sell on the internet. If you are lucky to register a valuable name, you could be sitting on thousands of dollars when you decide to sell it. Successful domainers use gut instinct and experience to find and buy domains which they can resell quickly and make profit. A good domain name can easily sell for $100 and above. Investing less than $10 to register a name and selling it for $100 or more is a profitable business if you ask me. Selling domain names every other day and in volumes can translate into substantial income per month.

Domain flipping business is only lucrative if you have the uncanny ability to identify and buy in-demand virtual real estate properties. So, as an aspiring domainer it is very important you hone and develop this skill over time through hands-on experience and studying previous domain name sales and determining a pattern of what sells. Otherwise, you may end up buying junk internet domain names which nobody will be interested to buy from you.

The domain names that sell for big cash are brandable, generic, common phrases, product related, category killer, exact match keyword, niche keyword with prefix or suffix, and so on. There is a bit of learning curve involved in domain flipping business. This include the ability to identify, negotiate and buy valuable names on the cheap as well as successfully finding end users or fellow domain name investors to sell it to for profit.

As a domainer, it also helps to know how to build a website so that you can quickly develop a name which you cannot sell immediately. The good thing about investing in virtual real estate business is the low barrier to entry and you can start on a shoestring budget. With as little as $10, you can register a domain name and flip it for profit. If you register a domain for less than $10 and sell it for $500, you could reinvest your profit to buy valuable names from domain aftermarket.

If you really want to learn how to flip domain names for profit, you will do yourself a world of good by studying and learning domaining from all angles as if your life depends on it. It is not too late to get involved in domaining business. But the most important domain flipping advice is that you should not buy a domain based on emotion. Undeveloped domain name without a high perceived value is always difficult to flip in the open market.

When buying a domain name for sale, you must make sure it reflects a market, business idea, product or service in a niche or industry. I prefer purchasing virtual real estate from industries and niche markets with high dollar value such as finance, technology, etc. You will do well in this business if you go after names with relatively high search traffic or backlinks. This is why type-in traffic domain names are highly sought after on the internet.

Another profitable area of internet domain names is buying and selling expired domains. But before you can succeed with this aspect of domain flipping business, you must learn how to find expired domains with backlinks and traffic. In case you are not able to flip a domain name you own immediately, it is good practice to develop it into a website or blog or opt for domain parking at the very least.
