Domain Name Business Starter’s Note

August 6, 2009

Recently, I am not so frequent to update posts here since I was busy to buy domain names as a new starter for future investment.
Domain name’s business is the business of monetizing internet domain names using certain strategies. Nowadays, the monetization strategies include website development, minisites network, parked sites which display advertiser PPC advertising, affiliate programs, and domain name sales. The domain name industry is a multi-million dollar business and is growing steadily year after year. One of the biggest online domain name marketplace reported sales in 2008 were $77,413,370 alone. The market capitalization for this business is showing a significant rise over time.

Domain names are obviously worth money. A well indexed domain, with a minimum of content and a small design, even with no traffic, can be worth up to $500. A surefire way to succeed in domain name business is to have several domains to promote. Start to buy domain names, put them on a list to promote, and move on. How do you find good domains? Do some search lists of domains with your own niche criteria. Select a niche topic that you like and know about. Please be advised that you must consider the length, pronounciability, memorability, brandability and grammatical tense of domain names. Take into consideration as well about the monetization of your niche topic for potential advertisers.

If the domain is short and industry-relevant or keyword-rich, then it’s time for you to register it immediately. You can start with .com/.net/.org extension and DomainExpress is a good place to buy domain names since they provide domain names registration and web hosting services with competitive prices.
