Creating Income Streams from Domaining - By: James Schramko

Smart investors are turning to domaining as it is increasingly being compared to stock trading. The basic idea behind this activity is to buy low and sell high, much like selling shares of stock. Buying and selling domains has become quite popular among Internet marketers because their grasp of IM tools and techniques can dramatically increase the value of their domain flipping portfolio. But like most investment activities, you'll need special tools and techniques to make real profits.

Why you should consider domaining

Fast cash

Buying and selling domains is an easy way to earn quick cash online. Domains are unique. Because a domain is unique and no two persons can own the same domain at the same time on the Web, a business that wants it will have to buy it from you. Reselling prices are often 1000 times higher than the acquisition cost.

Low capital

Unlike stock trading or real estate investments, you won't need a lot of money to start a domaining business. You can start building your portfolio by buying one domain every month at $8 or $9 each.

Passive income

Domains can be developed into affiliate sites that sell products even while you sleep. When used in affiliate marketing, domains can become sources of passive income.

Domain flipping

A variation of buying and selling domains, flipping can tremendously increase your profits although you need to spend some time and effort nurturing the site before you can resell it. The same techniques you normally use to increase your site's visitors will also apply to domains you intend to lease or resell to other businesses.

Expert tips on domaining

Buying and selling domains may be similar to trading shares at first glance but it requires advanced tools and marketing skills to become a lucrative source of income. Here are some expert tips you can use to increase your profits:

Stick to dot coms: Domains are accompanied by suffixes such as .com, .net, .org and many more. If you want to build a domain portfolio for buying and selling, experts recommend buying only the dot coms as these sell really well in the secondary market. Use research tools: Not all domains can be resold quickly. Most of the generic ones have already been taken. While you may be tempted to buy catchy or unique domains, you're better off with generic phrases similar to key words used to find websites in search engines. You can use an advanced keyword research application to show you which words get a good number of search queries. You may also want to consider getting the typos (misspelled variants) of these keywords or phrases. Learn the art of domaining first before spending your hard earned cash on valueless names.
