Domain investing has become quite popular in the last few years. There are many newcomers that are looking to learn more about the domain industry. I was once one of those newcomers. I bought my first domain name back in 2004. I never understood the value of domain names.

I even registered 20 domain names in January 2009. I remembered my mindset at that moment in time. I never thought it was possible to flip the names to make a profit. As the reregistration period approached a year later, I soon realized that domains were indeed profitable.


In short, there are plenty of valuable domain names that are valuable. They can be bought today, and then sold in a few months. Always think like a business. What name would you want to own if you sold cables, electronics, owned a cake shop, a restaurant or had a photography business.

Domain names represent the identity of your business. You can easily maintain an edge over your competition with a nice generic domain name. Owning a great domain name can save you money on advertising. I can honestly convey that failing to promote a website will leave you without any traffic.

If you want to learn more about domain investing, I may not be an elite domain investor, but I have researched the industry enough to shorten your learning curve.

Good luck on domain investing.

Parking Account with no content

Do you own any domain names that are parked? You have to be careful with advertising your domains. I put my domains up for sale in ads and also mentioned them in domain discussion forums.

Because a few of my domains received increased traffic and ad clicks, my parking account was canceled today. I paid over $100 for that account. In addition, the $250 sitting in the account will be voided out.

The lesson is to use hosting accounts that allow you to advertise your domains. It's not fair to keep your domains in the cave, especially when these domain companies do nothing to promote them. You have to spend money in order to make money.

When you advertise your domains, you're more than likely to receive traffic. The lesson learned here is that you have to read between the lines. If you plan to sell your domains, I would point them to another location such as a blog or an existing website.

Domain companies seem to make up excuse as to why they don't want to pay for commission. The same event took place when I used a coupon site to make cashback. The domain company failed to pay the company for referring me to their site.

In addition, I only received a small portion of the cashback, whereas now a large amount is unpaid for. You have to look into other alternatives to making money. Don't depend on domain companies to help you make a sale and or to paid up on revenue you've earned using their services. It's definitely some to think about when trying to sell and park domains.
