The Domain Selling Business.
A real business where insight and timing are critical. Where smart people can make money by
making smart moves. In other words, a true Internet business that could make you a
millionaire. If you have the skills, the smarts and the moxie, and the key insights.
Why do People buy domain names?
Everyone in the business industry is aware of the value of the right domain name. It is the
company’s brand name and it is critical to driving traffic to the home website. The right
domain name is worth hundreds, even thousands of dollars to a business. The right name is
so generic that a user might type in a random phrase and add .com or .net and land on that
respective businesses site. Check out what some very recent domain names went at public
auction.
Lips.com sold for $135,000 on Moniker T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
Note.com went for $115,000 on Moniker T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
Forest.com for $110,721 on SEDO.
And Coed.com for $88,240 on Moniker T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
How to really make money on selling Domains?
That’s some serious money. Imagine where you would be right now if you had purchased any
one of these a few years ago when domain names were so cheap people could buy these basic
names at less than $10.00 per name. Better yet imagine where you would be if you had the
foresight to have purchased any two of these basic domain names.
Here is how lucrative domain reselling can be – these six entities each sold for
$10,000.00 at the recent

specific company and were worth the thousands that the right company put forth to secure
the name

How much will people pay for the right domain name? A Lot!!
We have already talked about Porn.com and Sex.com but how about diamond.com, business.com,
and beer.com? Each sold for 7.5 million dollars apiece in 1999. After the dot com bubble
burst in 2001 the general consensus was that no other domain name would reach the lofty
heights that business.com was able to attain. Man, were folks wrong! Casino.com sold for
5.5 million in May of this year, Korea.com sold for $5 million in January and Shop.com sold
for 3.5 million in 2005.
Domain Names Have Their Own Image
Let’s face it, image is exceptionally critical to ever business and domain names foster
their own image. Short, one word names with the dot com after them are in extreme demand. A
domain name must be memorable because a domain name must be able to stand alone. Customer’
s today type in the most used domain names simply from memory. A great domain name means
search engines simply aren’t necessary.
Though everyone wants that one word name, it is possible to create some really useful
domain options using simple prefixes. A simple example is the use of the word auto and the
long ago sold out auto.com domain name. Other options can work for that same term,
automart.com. autodepot.com, autoland.com, usedauto.com, etc. The trick is to be creative
but to get something simple that sells the business at hand.
Do you have skills predicting future trends? What names might be big in the next few years
if a woman or a black man were elected president, if an issue other than terrorism begins
to creep into the world psyche? If green becomes in or America revamps its health care
system what will be the key domain names that will represent the future? What names today
represent a great business opportunities for you tomorrow?
