The Domaining Business
The domain market has become more and more lucrative in the past few years. Almost all companies, as well as many individual people these days, have websites, and most would prefer their websites to be immediately recognizable. Domain names identify what websites are about, and this can be a big plus when someone is doing a search and looking for something specific. Although almost anyone can have a free website through his or her Internet provider or domain name provider, the addresses of these websites will usually contain the name of the provider first, and then whatever name the user chooses for the website. For example, your Internet provider is called ABC Internet, and you build a website using the web space that your provider gives you, you may want to name your website “yourshop”. Though you would prefer the website to simply be called yourshop.com.
Businesses, and many people, prefer their website names to be succinct and to the point. This is where domain name buyers and sellers come in. No two people can use the same domain name – domain names are registered to owners – therefore, every time someone wants to give a website a certain name, he or she must first search to see if that domain name is already taken. If the domain name is taken, then he or she can check to see if it is for sale, and possibly buy it from whoever owns it.
Seeing the Money in Domaining
It becomes clear, then, that buying and selling domain names can be quite lucrative if done properly. The more registered domain names you own and are willing to sell. The more money you can make from people who want to use them. If you are interested in buying and selling domains, however, you must first do a little research. You can also pick up my book here. It’ll fast track you into the domaining life! If you own several domain names, but they aren’t ones that most people would be interested in using, then you are sitting on inventory that isn’t going to move. That inventory costs you money. Domain name registrations need to be renewed periodically, and this always involves a fee. To make money selling domain names, you need to own popular names. If you own a domain name called “JustSomeStuff.com”, there probably isn’t going to be a big market for it. If, however, you own a domain named called “Plumbing.com”, you may find that more people are interested in using this name.
The most popular method that people use to make money from selling domain names is to become a domain name reseller. Using this method, you buy and register available domain names from a licensed registrar at wholesale prices, and then you can turn around and sell these domain names for a profit. Licensed registrars usually welcome this type of business transaction, as it drums up more business for them since the resellers provide most of the advertising. Many large domain name sellers are resellers for even larger domain name registrars. This type of business relationship is common.
Creativity is the name of the game here!
As a domain name buyer and reseller, you will need to find ways to advertise your business. If your domain name buying and reselling business is small, you can usually just post ads on websites and forums where people advertise domain names for sale. There are many of these types of websites and message boards on the Internet, and you will be able to find several of them by using an Internet search engine. If you plan on having a large domain name buying and reselling business, then your best bet is to have your website where people can search through or inquire about the domain names that you have available for sale. Your website should include reliable contact information so that potential buyers can ask any questions that they might have. Spending a little money for advertising can go a long way in ensuring that your domain name buying and selling business will be a success.
