Now that you are aware of some of the many benefits of having a website, let’s work with a simple case study of how to make money online of at least $1000 per month by buying a cheap website and turning around to sell it at a higher price for profits.

 

This is a simple strategy to make quick cash per month assuming you don’t have the time and skill to build a brand-new website from the scratch.

 

Go to popular forums where internet entrepreneurs are desperate to make a sale at unbeatable prices like DigitalForum.com. Look for the sales section of the forum. But make sure you read their terms and conditions of service.

 

Search for websites for sale that are cheap, say $100 or less, and meet all the requirements of a good profitable niche website. For example, weight loss, acne treatment, etc are popular niches and will sell fast. Check if any of the websites or blogs that picks your interest is attractive enough to sell off when you are ready to flip the website. Or, alternatively, is the site already making money for the owner? If the site is selling for more than $100, bargain with the seller. When he sees that you are a serious buyer-to-be, the site flipper will consider your offer.

 

After buying the website of your interest, decide to upload additional 10 unique articles as HTML web pages or post them on the blog to promote it. Let the blog be a sub directory of the domain name. Write another 10 quality articles and submit them to free article directories of your choice to get backlinks.

 

Thereafter, you can take the website to SitePoint.com or Flippa.com and list at the auction market to sell it. You will be amazed how much you will flip the website.

Is Your Domain Name Appropriate for Your Internet Business?

June 25th, 2009 by Ed | No Comments | Filed in Domain Name Tips

Let me ask you, what domain name are you operating your internet business with? I am asking this question because the identity of your business starts with the domain and it is crucial to its success. In real world, you may have noticed that some individuals change their names to reflect what they think they are or believe in. Internet business is no different.

 

You may be aware that there are few major ways to locate a website online; namely, through direct navigation, web or anchor text link, word of mouth, and so on. And to gain sizeable number of daily targeted traffic to your website, your domain name must reflect the idea/objective/content of that website. That, to my mind, is the surest way to guarantee high conversion rate from your web visitors.

 

Take, for example, JobSearch.com. This website may not find a hard time attracting organic traffic as much as possible from the job searching surfers. Specific domains are search engine as well as human friendly. At a glance, you will be able to gauge what the website is all about with the help of the targeted domain name.

 

It is easy to build one way backlinks with keyword rich anchor text to the website that has a laser-targeted domain. Assuming I have posted an article in one of the free article directories with the title: “Domain Name Tips”. If my resource box has my URL as DomainNameTips.com and an anchor text link as “Domain Name Tips”, then I have a high chance of ranking on the first page on search engines when surfers are searching for that keyword phrase, holding other factors constant.

 

The bottom line of what I am writing is that your domain name must, of necessity, be appropriate for your internet business. There are a lot of advantages to it. You can effortlessly promote your online business over time thereby gaining high visibility. Your web visitors can easily remember your name too. It is not difficult to brand the domain name. In flip website business, these are referred to as characteristics of good domain names. Even in the event of selling your website, buyers will be willing to have it.

There is, however, nothing wrong if you register a name of your bricks-and-mortar business. You can do URL forwarding from one to the other as the case may be. Remember that the success or failure of an online business starts with a domain name.

How to Buy Parked Domain Names

May 19th, 2009 by Ed | No Comments | Filed in Domain Name Tips

Parked domain names are names that have been registered by a registrant but having no permanent website built for it yet. I am using the phrase ?permanent website? because parked domain names will always have a temporal web page displaying adverts served by either parking company or by the registrar.

It is instructive to note that there are two ways domain names are parked. It could be parked with a parking company when domain names entrepreneurs or speculators have no immediate use for their names. What this translates to is that the parking company will provide a pre-built web page for a domain parked with them and automatically serve adverts on the web page.

Revenue accrues to domain owners any time a surfer visits the page and clicks on the advert links that are on the page. The parking income derived from such transaction is shared between the parking company and the owner of the parked domain name. The adverts served on this web page are adverts from third parties or companies who are promoting their businesses.

Another way of parking domain is the service provided by the registrar. Registrar is the company that registers domain names while registrant is the owner of the registered domain name. This method of parking is usually with a web page having a message stating that “this website is under construction,” “this domain name is for sale,” or something similar.

Now, the question is: “How do you buy parked domain names?” It is by approaching the registrant or owner for sale. You can go about this either by:

1. Going through the parking company if it is parked with the company for sale, or
2. Looking up the Whois information of the registrant and contacting him directly via email for an outright sale.

However, be aware that buying parked domain names is always expensive. The holder who desires to sell such name is either a speculator or a domain entrepreneur. Either of them would wish to maximize their profits from you who want to buy parked domain name. To this end, doing such business at arm’s length means you are going to cough out small fortune to buy it.

Except you are desperate to acquire this name for reason of branding and wider customer reach, it is always advisable to check for the availability of other similar names not yet registered. For registration fee of $10 or less you will register a domain name that is good enough for your business or may be even better.

To buy parked domain names, the present holder will be monetizing a whole lot of factors like the traffic the domain name is generating, the revenue accruing to it, marketability of the name, and so on.
