Domain Flipping - . COM's are not the only big sellers.

Hi everyone.

I just read an interesting blog post...

Every domainer tells you to use the .com extension when looking for domain names to flip, as everyone recognises it, and it is most commonly used. But as we all know most good .com domain names are taken.

Well how is this for interesting reading...

Lisbon.net sold for a staggering $32,000. Yes, you read right. Now I still recommend flipping .com domain names, as they definately sell more than any other extension, and you will probably get much more money for .com, however other extensions will definately be coming into play in the future.

Domain Flipping Jargon - What Do Some Of These Words Mean?

Hi everyone.

Sorry that I haven't posted for awhile... I have been on holiday and relaxing, but I am back now.

While I was away, I received a few emails requesting the meanings of some of the words (jargon) that people use when domain flipping. Here are meanings for all the words or abreviations that were requested via email:

Domaining:

The buying and selling of domain names.

Whois:

This is a protocol that gives you information and details on the owner of a domain name.

Domain Parking:

This is where you park domain names you own, at marketplaces, like Sedo.com. This allows you to earn an income while your domain name is parked there, as they add advertisements to a page for keywords that you choose for your domain name. You can also see what kind of traffic you domain name is getting.

Type In Traffic:

This is when a internet user types in the name followed by .com, .net, etc. into the browser window.

TLD:

This stands for Top Level Domain, which is the last part of the domain name like .com, .net, etc.

ccTLD:

This is the Country Code Top Level Domain like like .co.uk, co.au, etc.

Hope this helps.

If you would like to know meanings of other names, send me an email (domaingflipping08@gmail.com), and I will list them on this blog aswell.

Have a great day.

Domain Flipping - No Other Onlines Business Compares To Domain Flipping.

I cannot emphasise how easy domain flipping is. Out of all the other online business; I started, domain flipping is by fa the easiest. Here is a table I have quickly drawn up, showing the differences between domain flipping and another easy online business known as affilite marketing.

Domain Flipping	Affiliate Marketing
Start up costs are low. You can get started for under $10, inclduding purchasing a domain name and ebay fees.	Purchasing programs can cost you anywhere over $50, and you still need to advertise you products which can run into $100's.
Simple to do. You purchase a domain name, list it, and then get paid.	You will have to do rearsch on a specific nichewhich can take days. You then need to purchase a domain name and a hosting account, set up a website, and then market the website and hope hordes of traffic come flooding in.
Takes 1 hour per day and you don't hve to work everyday.	Takes several days to set up, and then you have to keep tweaking and refinding... Oh and market, market, market!
Percentage of losing money is minimal. If you do not sell a domain name you lose under $10.	Percentage of losing money is much more higher. You need to pay for a domain name, hosting. If you do not know how to design a successful website with great cotent, you will need to hire a webdesigner and ghostwriter. You can expect to lose $100's.

Just to let you know that I have compiled the above table for a person who is only starting out with making money online. There are people who know what affiliate marketing involves and are experts at it, and therefore affiliate marketing can make you loads of cash.

Just a quick note to let you know, that if you think domain flipping will fade away eventually, you are very wrong. Domain flipping has been around for years, and is now only starting to be recognised as a viable online business. Domain flipping will only get stronger with time. More and More businesses are seeing the impact the world wide web is playing, and therefore domain names will always be in demand.

Have a good day.
