How can I get into domain flipping, and be successful?

After we cover those basics, we’re then going to show you first, how to choose a winning domain name and then, how to buy one with confidence. In this way, you can master your first trade and succeed.

Sounds Great? Let’s begin.

What Is a Domain?

“Domain” is used interchangeably with “domain name.” They refer to the subset of the internet under the control of a specific organization or individual, identified by its shared common suffix.

Internet users can access your website with your domain name.

Internet pioneers created domain names for finding and identifying computers on the Internet. It is your unique identity. To look professional, individuals and businesses must have their own domain names, websites and email addresses.

It also protects copyrights and trademarks, builds credibility, increases brand awareness, and positions your site with search engines.

What is Domain Flipping?

In layman terms, domain flipping means buying and selling domains for a profit.

Now, there is sometimes a misconception regarding this. Surprisingly, people are under the impression that hoarding domain names or domain flipping is unethical or even illegal . That is far from true, since many big-name companies are in the domain flipping industry like GoDaddy and Namecheap.

Flipping for Profit

When flipping domains for a profit, there are certain domain names that are worth a lot of money. For instance, Hotel.com and Business.com were reportedly sold for $11 million and $7 million respectively.

Today, coming across such golden domain names seems more like a long shot, but you can still make a decent amount of money, if you only look at domain flipping as a long-term business strategy.

That strategy should include creating or discovering clever niche names, buying them inexpensively, building a website at the domain, and monetizing it, then bundling the site and name for resale. We discussed in a previous article How to code a website, in 5 easy steps. In brief, it actually shows you how to quickly make a website without knowing any code. You can build a site in a day or two for your new domain and maximize your profits upon resale. Make sure to check it out.

Idle Assets

Since 2013, more than 183 million domain names have been registered that were never put into use. Many of these domain names are held by domain flippers, who will resell them to new buyers in the future.

Now if you are a novice in this field, the best way to go about flipping domains is to start with a small budget, until you gain some experience.

The Value of a Business Domain Name

Here are the steps you must follow to make a living flipping domains.  But first, you must know the importance of registering a domain name for a business. There are three key benefits to registering a domain name for your business.

1.  Permanent Address Online

Domain names provide a permanent location for people to find your business online. No matter how your business changes over the years, your domain name will be consistent. Whether you change where you host your website, redesign your brand, or pivot your business model, your domain name will most likely stay the same.

2. Brand Awareness

Without a branded domain name, it will be harder for your business to stand out. It will always take a backseat to the brand you are sharing your domain with, e.g. mybrand.myshopify.com. It will difficult for web browsers to remember your URL, and for customers to access your brand.

3. Trust and Credibility

Spending a little bit of money registers your domain name. To many, this is a sign that your business is legitimate. Not only will it increase trust and enhance conversations with your customers, but it will make other businesses more comfortable collaborating with you, and the media more comfortable writing about you.

How to Select a Winning Domain Name

Selecting a winning domain name does not have to mean selecting a name for your company. A domain name can be anything you chose, as long as it’s available.

To get the ‘perfect’ domain name, you should consider the following 14 steps:

1. Make it Brandable

Choose a name that’s worth branding. To do this, you must make sure your domain name is unique, not stuffed with keywords, and is easy to memorize.

Try using a domain name generator to create a new word using existing words. The possibilities are endless when it comes to domain names, so don’t think that all profitable domain names are already taken. Today, almost 90 million “dotcom” domains have been registered, so people tend to think that there are not many good domains left. That is not true, since you can still incorporate two or three-word targeted keywords.

Most importantly, give Trademarks their space.

For example: If you sell Disney products, don’t use Disney in your domain name. And don’t put WordPress in your domain name either (although you can use WP). You can end up in serious legal trouble, if a company thinks you are illegally using their name or violating copyright laws. So, if you’re unsure, do a quick Google search. Your query should ask “can I use XYZ in my domain name. ” If your search doesn’t turn up anything concrete, contact the entity’s legal department just to make sure. And if you’re still in doubt, do without.

Follow that advice and you’ll have a domain name that’s worth branding, and you won’t get into legal trouble with other corporations.

2. Make it Memorable

You tell someone you meet at a cocktail party about your website. Will they remember the name and find it the next day? Will they at least remember enough of it to find it with a search engine?

If your website name is supercalifragilisticexpialidocio.us (and they’ve never seen Mary Poppins) then probably not. Any unusual word will automatically have a disadvantage. The same fate awaits any string of words that’s too long.

That’s not to eliminate unique or longer domain names. Just take memorability into account. But, how can you know if your name will be memorable?

Before you settle on a name, try telling 10 people your top candidate. Come back to them the next day and see if they remember what it was. (Just don’t tell them you’ll be quizzing them, otherwise you’ll skew the results.)

If your friends aren’t remembering the name, even if you think it’s highly memorable (like supercalifragilisticexpialidocio.us would be, if Mary Poppins was your favorite movie as a child) you may want to rethink your domain name selection.

Test and Prove Your Domain Memorability

Here’s another way to evaluate how memorable your name is. Use the popular 10 people spell/pronounce test. Tell 10 people the name and ask them to write it down. Then show 10 other people the name written out, and ask them to pronounce it. If more than one or two in each group get it wrong, that’s a red flag.

If it’s a regular word with a strange spelling, make sure you buy the regularly spelled domain and redirect it to yours. For example: Flickr.com was losing traffic to Flicker.com until they finally acquired it. The only reason Fiverr.com doesn’t have that issue is that they own and redirect Fiver.com.

And if you’re considering an unconventional spelling BECAUSE you were set on the conventional one, but it’s taken, you may need to grieve the loss and move on. Otherwise, you lose lots of traffic to the site which sounds just like yours, but is spelled way more intuitively. Make sense?

Memorability is key for defining your brand. For example, numbers can throw too much uncertainty into the mix, as do hyphens. They also have the additional downside of looking a bit like spam. This does not mean that there aren’t any high-quality hyphenated sites, but they’re in the minority. Therefore, we recommend that you avoid hyphens and numbers.

3. Is it Easy to Say?

A winning domain name must roll off your tongue, so that people can easily pronounce and remember it. Use the method above, of writing your domain name on a piece of paper and showing it to at least 10 different people, and seeing whether it can be easily pronounced.

4. Make it Precise

Shorter is better. Aim for 6-14 characters. The shorter the domain name is, the easier it is to type, say, and share. More popular websites tend to have shorter domains for obvious reasons.

It’s debatable whether the shorter name CAUSES the popularity, or whether it just CORRELATES with popularity. There may be a separate factor which is influencing both the popularity and the domain name length. For example, shorter domain names are more expensive, since demand is higher. Therefore, anyone who has the money for a short domain name may have more money to put into promoting their site. Perhaps they bought it early in the history of the web, and have had lots of time to build its following.

There are other pragmatic reasons for a short domain, even if it’s not a direct cause of popularity.

  • Short names fit onto printed material more easily.
  • In the age of mobile phones and pads, the fewer letters there are to type in, the better.

5. Use Keywords to Make it Rich

Taking everything into account so far, make sure you use keywords when choosing a winning domain name. Also consider the best SEO tactics with Google Panda regulations when branding a valuable domain name. Don’t make it generic and stuffed with keywords, because Google Panda hates that. You can use sites like Google keyword planner to select effective keywords for your domain.

For example:

When you work a keyword from your industry into your domain name, it shouldn’t look like this: best-las-vegas-nevada-lawyer-ever.com

What we do mean?

If you can get your keyword in your domain without it looking cheesy, it could boost your ranking in Google for that keyword.

Having a domain name that exactly matches your keyword (vegaslawyer.com for the search “Vegas lawyer”) correlates with higher rankings. Now, whether this directly influences the search engines or only indirectly (e.g. any link which uses your domain name as the text is giving you natural anchor text with your keywords) is up for debate, but the bottom line is, it seems to help.

Keywords are helpful, because when you appear in the search results, Google highlights words in your title, snippet, and URL, that match the keyword searched. Therefore, having any part of your keywords in your domain is also helpful in attracting views.

6. Choose The Right Domain Name “.Extension”

Research shows that 3 out of 4 domains use the “.com” extension, second is “.net” and third is “.org”. Dotcom is still the best and easiest to remember. 1,300 new Top Level Domains (TLDs – what comes after the dot in a web address) are being ushered onto the internet stage by ICANN. While it’s great that there will be more options, will there really ever be a demand for dot-parakeet or dot-tornado?

Even today, most people still assume all domains end in dot-com. Even if you tell them your website is facebook.net, they’ll likely hear facebook.com, and the next day, they’ll certainly remember facebook.com. Or they’ll remember that “it had a weird ending but I can’t recall what it was.” There goes your traffic.

Even if you want to use a different ending, like .org or .net, you should still own and redirect the .com version, like Slideshare does. If you wonder why they use the .net at all, it’s because the .com wasn’t available when they first started. They purchased it in 2009, probably for a lot of money. Most of us won’t have that kind of money to throw around. The best way to avoid this problem is to make sure you have the dot-com from the outset.

Exceptions

One possible exception to not having the .com is when the TLD is relatively well-known, and fits into the name of the company. For example, the site of the business coaching company Love Your Biz is loveyour.biz. Of course, it’s never a bad idea to own the .com too, if possible.

Another exception to not choosing the dot-com (although still good to own it, so you don’t lose traffic) is when you’re targeting a country outside the United States. A country-code TLD (like .co.uk for the United Kingdom, .fr for France, .com.au for Australia) has two main advantages:

  • SEO – country-specific Google (e.g. Google.co.uk) will tend to give more weight to TLDs specific to that country.
  • Customer Trust – people in Australia (for example) will click a dotcom.au domain when it comes up in search results than a generic .com domain.

There are disadvantages, however.

If you only own the country specific TLD, your odds of ranking in other countries drop. And if you have the .com also, to target the other countries, you will run into a duplicate content issue if both sites are in the same language. There are ways to deal with that, but you need to consider the matter and figure out what is best.

7. Easy to Type

One of the most important things to remember when choosing your domain name is that it must be easy to type. If the user types it incorrectly, they will not get to your site. Popular sites like Google, Yahoo, and Twitter follow this rule, as they are unique but also easy to type. Unique names that are also easy to type can easily become global brands.

Try to incorporate double letters if you can, and you can even try to keep the letters close on the keyboard. Words like “pumpkin”, “‘tasted”,” moon” and “start” only need one hand to type, for example.

8. Be Intuitive

A good domain name must itself give the user a strong idea of what the site refers to, and what material they will find there. Modify and tinker with your domain name idea and come up with something unique and clever. Try to say more with less, or invent a new abbreviation or contraction. Try adding an ending like -ate, -der, -ify. Ultimately, your site, your content, and your products and services will define the brand.

9. Narrow your Focus

Today, there are over 300 million registered domains. However, there still remain endless available domains to register, especially when you consider all the new domain name extensions, from .love to .wtf. If you want success reselling domains, you must have a specific, focused idea.

Do you have any specialized knowledge? Do you know about pets? Are you in auto or home sales? Do you know about education or healthcare? Think about some of the subjects you are most familiar with, and start there.

It is much easier to sell a domain you know will be valuable to someone in a specific industry.

10. Know your Niche

Here’s something you want to avoid. Don’t target perspective buyers based on their perceived economic status, without any insight into the industry you’re targeting.

For instance, “Lawyers seem to do well,” you think, “maybe I should start selling names to them.” So, you rush out and buy a bunch of domain names that you think would appeal to law firms. Without knowledge of the field, you may not know that the American Bar Association organizations sets rules that govern some aspects of legal advertising. You will probably not be successful, selling names your target buyers can’t use.

Understand your audience, and the sales will follow.

11.  Find Names that Offer Real Value

Think of ways to intensify the domains you buy, making them a more valuable asset to the buyer. Picture someone who would benefit from buying a domain in a field you are very familiar with. If the roles were reversed, and someone was trying to sell you this name, is it beneficial for you to own? Be honest. If so, why? If not, why not? Use those answers to refine your search for the best possible names.

Let’s play this out with a real example. Say you’re familiar with the real estate market in Tempe, Arizona, and you can purchase tempeapartments.com for $200. This might be a good deal. Tempe has a lot of rental property. It’s a competitive market, and there’s ample turnover in apartments, because the city is home to a major university.

Ask yourself

  • How much does one month of rent profit a landlord, property manager or other prospective domain buyer? How about a year’s worth of rental profit?
  • Would you buy this name if you were in the business? If so, why?
  • What kind of domains are landlords, property managers, etc., using?
  • How much do they spend on advertising?
  • How much would this domain help them get quality tenants?

If you can answer these questions with confidence and know this niche well, you probably already have an idea of who to contact and how to make a compelling case for how this domain will grow their business.

12.  Finding valuable domains

Now that you have narrowed down what names you should probably be buying, you’re probably wondering: How do you find them?

First, check to see if the names are available to purchase as new registrations.

Most folks who sell a website or domain will show you traffic charts and money charts. Make sure that it’s not inflated and that you can study it extensively. One month of data is simply not good enough. Make sure you also ask about how traffic has been coming to the site, and ask to see server logs.

If the name you want is taken (as many probably will be) head over to FreshDrop, and buy expired domains from people who already own names or who let them expire because they no longer want them. FreshDrop.com offers a monthly membership to find exclusive domains that have expired. It’s affordably priced at $20 and totally worth it. If you seriously want to make money flipping domains, you want to have all the best resources at your fingertips. Go there and start searching.

Another great place to look for expired domains is auctions.godaddy.com.

You can buy existing domains, sometimes with existing content, and obtain their history, traffic, links and PageRank. Use the advanced search options to quickly hone in on the type of names you are interested in. You can narrow the results by price, top-level domain (i.e, .com, .net, .org, .club, etc.), keywords, and many more factors. Using this feature will help you quickly sort through the millions of domains on the aftermarket, and find the ones that best fit your domain flipping goals.

Here’s a List of Where you can Research and Buy Domains:

At Internet Ideators, we use Namecheap.com, or GoDaddy.com to acquire most of our domains because they are well established, and we like the flexibility and price that these services offer.

13.  Evaluating the Price

Once you have a name in mind, how do you know if the price is fair? I like to use namebio.com to compare the domain that I’m thinking about buying with similar domains that have sold. You can enter the keyword and use some advanced search features to see a list of names similar to yours, what they actually sold for, and when they sold.

You can also research current domain sales on venues like GoDaddy, and Flippa. Finally, there is a weekly report on DN Journal that covers the top public sales of the week. All of these resources will familiarize you with the flipping market, and help you price your domains correctly.

14.  Getting your Domains Front and Center

You can list your domains for sale on many websites out there. You want to consider a few things:

Do you trust the site? Does it have a good reputation? It’s important to feel confident that you will get paid quickly,  and that the buyer will get the domain name they paid for. Pick a place that has good ratings with consumer groups like the Better Business Bureau, or licensing from a trusted government source.

A trusted brand is vital when domain flipping.

Is their distribution network strong? The potential to get your domain name in front of the right buyer is key. Listing in a distribution network such as Flippa can get your domain name in front of millions of potential buyers each month.

You don’t want to be the company with the terrific website that no one can ever remember.

How to Buy a Domain Name

After you choose a domain name, there are a few simple steps you can take to buy and register it.

Choose a Domain Registrar and Register Your Winning Domain Name

The process for registering a domain name works the same way whether it’s through a hosting provider or a separate domain name service. There are plenty of sites that will register your domain name for you. However, we recommend that you buy from Namecheap.com, GoDaddy.com or Shopify.com,  since they are reputable domain registrars.

To Register your Domain

Once you’ve selected your domain name, you need to register it. You search the site and enter the domain name you want to register into a text box. The service shows you the extensions you can choose. Generally, you always want to go with .com, because this is the most popular domain name extension and the easiest for users to remember. Also, Google likes .com, .org and .net domains a lot, even though it states it doesn’t matter. This is likely because .info and .biz can often be spam sites or affiliates sites.

“Who” is the Owner?

When you register a domain name, you must give out some personal information, like your name, phone number, and address. This information becomes publicly available by default, but you can also pay to keep it private. Some registrars will let you hide this information for free such as Namecheap.com, however, doing so will decrease how trustworthy your website looks for both search engines and website visitors.

If you’re concerned about privacy, consider using a business name and contact info, rather than your personal information. With that said, make sure YOU are registered as the owner and admin, and not your web development company. Domains have been held hostage in the past. Whoever possesses the registrar username and password is essentially in control of the domain, even though the legal owner is the registrant.

Most importantly, you should also make sure any possible legal issues are sorted out before you buy a domain name that’s not new. A previously-owned domain has a past, so make sure it’s not a shady one. A great domain name with a Google penalty is worthless if you need Google to drive traffic.

Choose a complex password; this prevents hacking.

Hackers could have the opportunity to change ownership or servers associated with your account. Try to find a registrar that allows you to “lock” your accounts.

Get Hosting

Once you’ve registered a domain name, you have reserved your URL, but you still need to buy or build a website, remember we can help build you a site, if needed. Once designed, you need website hosting somewhere. We always recommend HostGator since we use them personally to host our sites, and the have plans that starts at 2.95 a month.

That’s it! You choose a register, buy a name, and set up hosting. It’s really that simple.

Congratulations! You just purchased your first domain, and are ready to start flipping. We recommend that you build a simple site on the domain to maximize your efforts, but really is not needed. If someone really wants the domain name you own, they will purchase if from you, site or not.

Further Learning

You will always have a learning curve in any business venture, domain flipping included. Don’t hesitate to ask a lot of questions of informed sources, and participate in forums like the ones at namepros.com and dnforum.com. Keep abreast of industry trends via resources like domaining.com, and reach out to the NameCheap, FreshDrop, and GoDaddy aftermarket support teams.

Domain Flipping Won’t Make You Rich Overnight

We all use the internet to  browse websites, connect with our friends and family, and make video calls, but not many of us know the “ins and outs” of the domain flipping industry.  As you can probably tell, we have uncovered some hard truths on how domain flipping works, and what to expect. We hope it was informative, and inspires you to great things.

Be Realistic

Since your chances of becoming a millionaire overnight are slim, try not to dive head first into this business and invest your life savings into this industry. If you start a part-time business where domain flipping is a portion of the profits, then this is a more realistic vision. That doesn’t preclude you from making a big sale, too, but you will still make some steady profits.

It Is an Active Process

Domain flipping is never a passive process. It is an active process, where you have to put in time and energy to buy good domain names and then actively seek out prospective buyers. You cannot possibly make profits if you don’t put in a few hours every day.

Domain flipping experts believe that when you buy a domain, it becomes a hot property. This means you must select the right opportunities at the right time to seal the deal. To become a successful domain flipper, you need people with marketing expertise, as well as research, negotiation and networking skills. You also need to stay on top of latest trends so you have an idea of what appeals to markets and their audiences.

Domains with Similar Names Can Be Sold for a Profit

Now here is something you need to understand when it comes to flipping domains successfully. Just because someone spends an enormous amount of money on a domain name, does not necessarily mean they will throw big bucks to get a similar name too. Never base your domain flipping strategy on such assumptions, because that rarely ever happens.

Every domain name piques the interest of the buyer due to a unique reason, and the sale that follows is just as unique. Don’t base your business strategy on trying to be similar to industry leaders. Be original, and you’ve got a better chance of making a bigger sum of money on that next domain name sale.

Domain Flipping Takes Time to Learn

Just like any other field of business, you need relevant experience to become a successful domain flipper. Buying domain names and then selling them at a higher rate is not a piece of cake. You need to stay under the radar for at least a year and learn everything related to domain flipping before you can start selling domains for a profit.

In the beginning, you will make several major blunders, like losing money over useless domain names, missing prospective deals and much more.

But don’t be discouraged! Slowly, you will get the hang of it. The road to success flipping domains is not easy; you need to master a steep learning curve before you become a pro.

GoDaddy Is Not the Kingpin When It Comes to Domain Registration

GoDaddy is perhaps the cheapest and biggest domain registrar in the world of domain flipping. Some people use the term “godaddy” interchangeably with domain registrar. This is because they run massive marketing and advertising campaigns that pique the interest of buyers.

However, GoDaddy is not the only game in town when it comes to the domain registration business. There are many other great places for buying domains with excellent customer service and security support like Namecheap, Domain.com, Name.com, etc. Additionally, there have been accusations against GoDaddy that they are internet squatters, buying up good names that they find searched for on their service, and thereby raising prices to consumers.

Registering or Squatting Domains Is Not Unethical

Another point of concern is that many people feel that “squatting” or registering domains for resale is unethical. This bias comes from the many dull web developers who have a hard time finding relevant domain names for their projects. That is because so many of them are registered already.  Many corporate giants also frown upon the domain flipping industry, because many domain names relevant to them are already registered with others.

However, domain flipping is legal. Buying domain names has been a legal practice ever since the Internet came into being in the 1990s. Legally, buying and selling domain names is quite similar to real estate property transactions in the offline world.

Social Profiles Won’t Replace Domain Names

Many advertisers and marketers are concerned that social media will soon replace domain names completely and make them obsolete. This fear is even more real nowadays, because many online businesses and startups are using the power of social media to connect to their target audience.

But if you just weigh the pros and cons of having a domain name for your business, you will see that having a social media profile is just not enough. Most content on social media sites is content you click through to other sites to access, anyway.

Hand-Registering Domain Names Is Not Quite Profitable

Flipping hand-registered domain names for a huge profit is quite possible, but keep in mind that you cannot make a profit of more than $300 by doing so. You will also have to put in a considerable amount of time and energy to turn this idea into a profitable strategy as it is quite time consuming. You will have better luck buying expired domain names and flipping them for profit.

Use Different Sales Strategies

You can apply many strategies when it comes to flipping domains successfully. A set price, an auction, and allowing someone to “make an offer” are the three most common strategies.

  1. You can set a specific price for domain names you have for sale, when you are not in a rush to sell them. Those who have a huge portfolio usually adopt this strategy.
  2. GoDaddy and Namecheap follow the auction strategy, and you can too. Sell your domain to the buyer with the highest bid.
  3. When you have a niche domain, you can make offers to various prospective buyers who may be interested in buying.

Another option is to flip websites too, and not domains only. This is because, in most cases, a domain is worth far more with an established website than on its own. Building a website increases sale potential, because of SEO value to prospective buyers. Once built, you can even get a higher sale price if you have monetized the site, or if you have added email collection through a site fan club or e-book giveaway. Remember we can help you build custom affordable websites for your portfolio, that you can flip for a lot of money.

Never Sell Right Away

Domain flipping is not always about making quick cash. Sometimes, you must spend days, weeks, or months in research, before you make a profitable sale. Remember, it is better to wait for several months or years to sell a domain name for a greater profit than settle for minimal profit. Think of domain flipping as more of an investment.

Risk is Involved

Flipping domains is not entirely free of risk. Three types of risks associated with domain flipping, in terms of legality, liquidity, and subjectivity, are:

  1. Domain names can sometimes cause legal issues. Beware of a cease and desist letter, followed by a lawsuit, if your new name is too similar to an already trademarked name. You must think carefully before picking domain names.
  2. From the liquidity point of view, you may have to wait for a couple of months, or even years, before you can make a profitable sale.
  3. Subjectivity refers to the fact that it is hard to realize the value of a domain name compared to stocks. It is not easy to pinpoint the exact value of a domain name.

Now that you know all the details about buying and selling domains, we hope you start off your very own domain flipping business with ease. Begin by learning all the tricks of the trade, and invest a small amount of money before you decide to go big.

Yes, domain flipping may require a great deal of practice and expertise, but once you get the hang of it, you will be able to make quite a decent amount of money by flipping domains on a regular basis.

Now, let’s get out there and start imagining your future.
