When To Sell Domains?

Sometimes it’s hard to determine when you should sell a domain. This is the truest for domains for which you build websites and build traffic coming in. It can be difficult to decide whether to hang onto them or go ahead and sell while they’re hot.

If you’ve built a website to go with your domain or parked it and it’s bringing in a steady income, you might want to keep it for a while. The money that it makes can help you get through the times when you’re purchasing and working on new domains. And if it exhibits potential to gain more traffic, it’s  probably wise for you to keep working on it a while longer. The more traffic it has, the higher the selling price should be.

Traffic is a good indicator for domains that you’re not making a lot of money from. If you seem to have reached a plateau, it’s probably a good idea to go ahead and put your domain on the market. If you wait too long, traffic might decrease, and your domain’s value will
decrease along with it. But if you have more traffic building tricks up your sleeve, it could be worthwhile to give them a shot.

Domains that you’ve purchased at the first sign of a new trend might take a while to become valuable. If you have some of these, it is important to keep your eye on the news related to it. Upcoming product launches or surges in interest are good indicators that it could be a good time to think about selling.

If you happen to get your hands on a one- or two-word domain or what you think is a perfect domain name that features popular keywords, any time is a good time to sell it. But most domains bring more money when they’ve had a chance to gain traffic, or when their corresponding trends are becoming well known. Selling at the right time is very important if you want to get the highest price possible for your domain.

Making Money While You’re Building Traffic

Maybe you’re thinking that when you take the time to build traffic, it’s a long road between buying a domain name and cashing in on it. Well, it doesn’t have to be. You can easily make money from your websites while you’re building traffic to them.

One of the best ways to make money from a website with very little effort is through affiliate programs. You simply find programs that are relevant to your website, sign up for them, and add affiliate links to your pages. When someone clicks your link and makes a purchase, you get a commission.

There are also affiliate programs that pay for leads. That means that your site visitor doesn’t have to buy anything in order for you to get paid. All he has to do is sign up for something free, such as an email newsletter or an insurance quote.

The hardest part about affiliate marketing is building enough traffic to your website to make good commissions. But you’re already working on building traffic, so you can profit from affiliate programs with virtually no extra work.

 

Watch how I created a website in two hours and sold it for $49,555.00. I do it again & again and you can too!

 

Pay-per-click advertising is another way that many domain flippers monetize their sites. It’s even more effortless than affiliate marketing, because once you place the code on your site, ads are automatically selected to complement your content. The profits are usually lower than affiliate marketing, but you can’t lose by using pay-per-click as long as you place the ads so as not to turn away your site visitors.

These methods are much simpler than trying to sell your own products or advertising space, and they’re more cost effective as well. They allow you to make money on autopilot while you concentrate on building traffic. And there’s no rule stating that you can’t use both of them at the same time on a given site- in fact, lots and lots of webmasters do just that.

How to Build Traffic

Once you’ve created a site that is traffic-worthy, you’ll have to work on driving traffic to it. You can’t just put up a site and hope someone finds it. You’ve got to get the word out about it.

That doesn’t mean you have to spend lots of money on advertising, though. Some of the most effective methods of site promotion cost nothing but a little of your time. Here are some free ways you can build traffic to your sites:

• Learn as much as you can about search engine optimization. It is entirely possible to optimize your own site without hiring someone else to do it. Getting good search engine rankings is one of the most important things you can do where traffic is concerned, and it looks good to potential buyers, so the time you spend learning this will not be wasted. (Of course, you can hire someone to optimize your site if you are more interested in saving time than money. If it is done well, you will recover your investment easily when you sell.)

Watch how I created a website in two hours and sold it for $49,555.00. I do it again & again and you can too!

 

• Join relevant forums and add a link to your signature. Blatant promotion is rarely tolerated in online communities, but if you join in the discussions, members will see your signature and
click the link if they are interested.

• Join online networking communities. MySpace, Facebook, and Ryze are a few places where you can both network with fellow businesspeople and publicize your sites. You can get visitors and schmooze with potential buyers.

• Create viral marketing materials with links to the site you’re promoting. Videos are great if you have the time and resources to make them. Free reports also tend to spread like wildfire, and you can use PLR material to create them quickly.

• Promote the site to your email list. If you don’t have an email list, start one. It is one of the most effective and least expensive methods of online promotion.

• Offer a freebie. People love free stuff, and they tend to spread the word about it. And it doesn’t have to be a physical product. You can offer free links in a directory on your site, a free report, or a free course via autoresponder.

• Create Squidoo pages pertaining to the topic of your site. They are free and easy to set up, and you can also make residual income from the pages.

Building Value the Easy Way

There’s a lot to be said for building a domain’s value before selling. If you know how to do this, you can buy domains at bargain prices, work on buillding traffic to them, and then sell them at much higher profits than you could otherwise. You can use this method alone, or you can do some building and some immediate selling.

Building a website may seem like a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. You can do it without any coding knowledge, and you don’t even have to know much about the subject matter of the domain. There are plenty of tools available to you that can make building a website a cinch.

Some companies offer a service that is similar to parking, but creates sites that visitors are more likely to come back to. They offer software or web applications that help users create websites using free relevant content from other sites, such as YouTube or article directories. You can literally have such a site up and running with just a few clicks of your mouse.

 

Watch how I created a website in two hours and sold it for $49,555.00. I do it again & again and you can too!

Another inexpensive option for building a valuable site is using private label rights content, or PLR. This is content that is written and sold to a limited number of webmasters. You can use it any way you choose, modify it, and even put your name on it. It’s kind of like hiring a ghostwriter, only non-exclusive and much less expensive. You can buy PLR in batches, or you can get a membership to a PLR site and receive relevant content each month.

You can easily build a content-filled website or blog using free software and PLR content. But if you go this route, it is important to make the site look unique. This can be accomplished with some custom graphics. You can pop them into a free or inexpensive site template to create a site that is like no other. This will save you lots of money on site design while keeping your site from looking like all of the other ones out there.

If You Want to Make Money Quickly

One of the most common questions of aspiring domain flippers is “How can I start making money right away?” All methods of domain flipping require a certain time commitment, whether you’re searching for great unregistered domains or expired domains or building websites to go with your domains. But there are a few ways you can make reasonably quick cash when flipping.

Typo domains can be a quick and lucrative pursuit for those who are in a hurry to see profits. If you can find a common typographical error of a popular domain, you can often turn around and double, triple, or quadruple your money. It will take some time to find these, but there are some out there that have not been registered.

Another thing you can do is keep an eye on online auctions. eBay sometimes has domain name auctions that have been miscategorized, or that have just failed to gain widespread attention from domain buyers. If you take the time to search for these listings, you might find a great bargain on a valuable domain. Then you can improve the listing and resell it right on the same auction site, or perhaps find a better venue in which to sell it and make a higher
profit.

These strategies are great for beginning domain flippers to use to get their feet wet and start bringing in some money, but that’s not all they’re good for. The experienced domainer can use them to make money between larger flips. The profits on these domains may not
be enough to retire on, but they do add up.

Finding Domains With Traffic

Domains with no traffic are a dime a dozen. Just visit a few aftermarket websites, and you’ll find that the majority of the domains available have no traffic whatsoever! So where do you find domains that have a substantial amount of traffic? There are several places you can look.

Expired domains often have traffic. This is because their owners have often bought them, built successful sites for them, and then for one reason or another forgotten about them. They may have purchased a new domain to use for the site, or they might be individuals or small business owners who ended up being unable to maintain the site properly. Whatever the reason may be, the domain is left to expire, and it’s ripe for the picking by a lucky domain flipper.

 

Watch how I created a website in two hours and sold it for $49,555.00. I do it again & again and you can too!

You may also find domains with traffic on domain auction sites. In general, owners of  domains that have a large amount of traffic know that they are valuable. But some do not know just how valuable, and they prefer to sell through an auction format instead of setting a price. Others like the potential for prices to be driven up through bidding, and feel that they will come out ahead by selling at auction. Sometimes this works out in their favor, and sometimes the buyer ends up getting an awesome deal.

Many domain flippers prefer to look for domains with traffic on classified ad websites. Those that specialize in domain name resale often have domains listed that are of high quality all around: They have traffic and concise, memorable, keyword-packed names. Such quality domains tend to sell at premium prices, but it’s possible to find better deals than you would get at auction in some cases.

Registered Domain Names

There are unregistered domains and registered domains. As a domain flipper, you will be selling domain names that are registered to you. At first glance, it might seem like it wouldn’t make sense to buy domains that are currently registered to someone else. But in many cases, it does.

 

Many of the domains that are for sale on the aftermarket already have value. They may be short, keyword-packed names, or they might have valuable traffic. This is certainly not  always the case, but it is quite possible to find a good deal on a domain name that you can turn around and sell at a profit. More often, however, you can find domains that have potential, build traffic and backlinks, and then sell for a profit.

If you’re buying registered domain names to resell, your best bet might be to go through a wholesale domainer. They specialize in selling domains to fellow domainers who will build traffic and sell them to a customer who plans to keep them. They also sometimes sell  portfolios of several domains, so you can get a better deal than if you had purchased that many domains individually.

 

Watch how I created a website in two hours and sold it for $49,555.00. I do it again & again and you can too!

You might also find good deals on established domains from site owners who are retiring, pursuing other interests, or going out of business, but this is somewhat rarer. These types of sellers often want to sell the website along with the domain name. That can work for domain flippers who are interested in building traffic and reselling in some cases. But if the site is an online store or some other type of high-maintenance pursuit, it might require more work than a domain flipper has time to do.

Buying domains from other domain flippers or from site owners is usually the most expensive way to acquire a website. But since most of the good domains are taken, it makes sense that there is lots of potential profit in this area. If you take the time to build traffic and make the domain more attractive to end users, you could come out far ahead.

Expired Domain Names

Lots of savvy domain flippers concentrate on snapping up expired domain names. If you play your cards right, you can find some of the best deals on domain names here. The trick is knowing where to
find them.

There are several good websites where you can find soon-to-beexpired domain names. ExpiredDomains.com, DropWatch.com, and DeletedDomains.com are a few of them. Most charge membership fees, but you can usually recover that investment with one sale of an expired domain. The great thing about expired domains is that they often already have traffic or domain’s value. But instead of paying a premium price for them because they have that traffic, you can pay a much lower price since you’re not buying them from the owner. But it is important to understand how this process works before you jump in.

If you want a domain that is expiring, you’ll have to backorder it. You can do this through the domain’s registrar, or through a “domain snatching firm.” The best course of action depends on the registrar’s policies. Some have exclusive backorder rights, and if that is the case, you’re better off backordering through them. If not, a firm that specializes in catching expired domains will likely produce better results.

 

Watch how I created a website in two hours and sold it for $49,555.00. I do it again & again and you can too!

Once you pay the fee for backordering a domain, that is not the end of it. The domain’s owner has exclusive renewal rights for 70 days after the domain expires. If he renews in that time frame, there’s nothing you can do, but most companies will give you a refund. If he
doesn’t, the domain enters a five-day deletion period, and then becomes available. If you’re the only person who has backordered it, you get it. But if not, it will be put up for auction and you’ll have to bid against everyone else who backordered it.

 

You don’t have to wait until a domain is about to expire. If there’s a certain name you have your eye on, you might be able to go aheadand backorder it. But it’s important to be mindful of potential trademark issues when you do this. If you get an expired domain name and the previous owner threatens legal action, you might be better off to just sell it back to avoid losing lots of time and money.
