Two very late goals in this game that Malawi fans will probably celebrate as a victory while Nigeria fans will view it as a loss. - BBC Commentator. Do you agree with Him?

Business / How To Sell Your Web Site Or Domain Name For Big Money by ikennaobi(m): 3:14pm On Jun 09, 2012
There's gold in web site domain names. You probably saw the headlines when business.com changed hands for $7.5 million. Wine.com went for big bucks, too. And who can forget when AltaVista had to shuck out millions to buy their name from the original owner?

On the other hand, you may have surfed some of the auction sites to find perfectly good domains going for peanuts. Even $25 seemed like a starting bid no one wanted to touch.

So how do you cash in on the domain name trading craze? Here are a few simple tips to get you on the right track to E-real estate profits.

Finding Good Unclaimed Names.

No doubt about it. It is harder these days to find killer domain names that aren't taken. A recent survey showed that of the 25,000 words we commonly use in the English language, more than 93 percent are already registered as domain names.

Fortunately, language experts have come up with some fresh ideas we can use to uncover hidden gems. First look for short, simple names that instantly tell what your business is about. The dentist who got dentalhelp.com had the right idea.

If you can't get the one word that describes you, add a prefix or suffix onto it. eDental, DentalX, Dental123 are easy to remember.

Some very smart businesses have created previously unknown words based on the simple term that describes them. For example, none of us have a problem remembering Virtualis.com, even though it is a word that previously didn't exist.

Try combining two words that could describe what a site does. NameBoy.com specializes in helping people find good website names. You can also hit pay dirt by creating a nonsense name from easy-to-remember sounds.

What words and sounds are easy to remember?

Experts say people recall colors and food (RedPie.com is already taken..I checked).

Those who know say all these possibilities will work better than very long domain names, misspelled versions of words, or several words strung together with hyphens. In tests, people simply don't remember those names very well.

Build Value By Building Audience.

These days most websites are valued by the number of visitors they attract. One common yard stick is your domain name is valued at $10 to $30 per hit per day. If 1,000 people land on your front page each day, your domain could be worth $10,000 to $30,000.

Another optimistic way of looking at domain values is each unique visitor you get over the course of a month is worth $250. If the visitor clicks to a second page on your site, her presence is worth $500. By this measure, a site getting only 10 hits per day could go for $15,000.

This strategy is a lot like the way traditional businesses have always been sold. The more customers a store has, the more it is worth to a buyer. That is a pretty solid way to value domains. It is a model that is likely to be around for a long time to come.

How can you quickly boost your site's visitors? Start by focusing on the needs of a specific group. A site on psychedelic short pants has a better chance of becoming a hit than a site that hangs their hat on the very general topic of pants.

A more specific, focused kind of site also does better with search engines. Indeed, search engines will be your fastest way of getting lots of eyeballs to your domain. Read the expert tutorial on getting listed high on search engines at WebMarketingNow.com.

Build Sales and Brand Awareness.

No buyer can resist a domain that is pulling in whopping sales and has a brand name seared into the minds of a profitable target audience.

Generally a domain is worth the amount of sales it creates in a year. If your site pulls down $60,000 this year, you could get that much for your domain name. CPAs, especially those working with publicly traded corporations, know all kinds of ways to count a myriad of transactions (even affiliate commissions) into cash flow stats.

Boost sales by offering low-cost products that can be mass produced. If hot demand can be created, you can sell thousands in no time. You can also rack up big annual sales by offering a pricey service that appeals to a lot of people in a specific industry. Higher prices are almost always the quickest way to double, triple, and quadruple sales.

Finally, work to establish your domain as a well-known brand name. Much of Amazon.com's legendary operating expense goes to making their not-so-common name a household word. You can pull off brand name awareness at a smaller level by keeping your ads consistently in important places, putting your name on key websites, writing articles that make you look like an expert, and participating in your industry's major Internet discussion groups.
Jobs/Vacancies / How To Make Money Online By Selling Domain Names by ikennaobi(m): 3:11pm On Jun 09, 2012
If you know how to make money online by selling domain names, then you will probably become a rich man now because this business will really let you make lots of money with just a small amount of investments. Dude, you really can't find any other online business that will let you make such profits nowadays except maybe forex. If you have read through my previous Hub To Register a Domain Name before, then you should know that lots of webmasters are looking for a great domain name for their websites nowadays and thus you will be able to sell your registered domain name for a good price in the market to someone who need it. Due to this, I have worked out a plan that will let us all make money online by selling the domain name to the customers and I would like to share with you all as below:

Step by Step Instructions for Making Money Online by Selling Domain Names

* First we will need to use the Google Adwords Keyword Tool to look for those high CPC keywords. Why do we need to use the high CPC keywords? One of the reason is because those keywords have a high traffic volume that will drive lots of traffic to our site ( I will explain to you in more detail in step no. 4 ).

The second reason is because if a keyword has a high CPC value, that will also mean that more advertisers are competing for that keyword, and thus those advertisers must also be interested in using that keyword in their new website's domain name! The idea is just that simple to understand! Finally, after you have done with your keyword research, don't forget to add in those top level domain such as .COM, .NET, .ORG, .INFO or .IN in the final part of your web address.

* Now, type that new domain name into the Google search box to find out whether that new domain name is still available or not, if it has already been taken by someone else then you will need to do another round of the research. I know it is hard, but please try to understand that making money online is never an easy job. Anyway, you can always hired someone to do this research job for you if you have money to do so. Finally, if the domain name is still available then all you need to do is just to register your domain name at the online domain name registration site and then find a web hosting site to host your new website with that domain name.


* After you have done all the above steps, start to do the SEO for your website, can you see how the domain name with those high traffic volume keywords can help us to get lots of traffic now? What I am trying to do here is that I want to sell my website together with my domain name to the online buyer because we will make more money in this way.


* When you see your website traffic grows at a steady pace, you can start to list your domain at those buying and selling domain names sites to find the buyer. In order for you to make money with this business model, you will need to register for at least 10 domain names and the total money you will need to spend for that 10 domains will be around:

Domain Name Registration Fees = USD15 x 10 = USD150 Per Years
Web Hosting Fees = USD10 x 10 = USD100 per month

*There are some other fees that I do not include here which you can work out by yourself later.

Now, let say if one month later, you can sell all 10 of those domain names plus websites with this amount:

(Domain Name) Total amount of sales = USD1,000 X 10 = USD10,000
(Website) Total amount of sales = USD500 X 10 = USD5,000

Then you will make:

Your Profits = USD15,000 - USD250 = USD14,750

Now you can see, this is a real money making business that will still make money even though it has been around for quite sometimes now. Lots of webmasters are trying to start a new website everyday and they really need a good domain name plus a ready made site badly, therefore, with just a small amount of investments, you will get a big amount of returns!
