How to Sell Your domain Name for Profits

Domain name buying  selling business is a good way to make money online. It has its own ups and down, alot of people are making good money out of domain name business. but the fact that you registered a domain name you thought may be good may not be good enough for you to sell succeessfully.You need the strategies already discussed earlier and also the techniques being discussed to succeed in selling your domain(s).
 If you want to sell your domain name for profits,depending on where you're listing your domain name for sale, whether on ebau auction section,amazon auction section, flippa, sedo or other domain selling sites all depends on you and the profit you think to make.First of all you must determine the market value of the domain, i.e the lowest amont you are willing to accept for your domain which we've seen previously on domain appraisals, it also depends on the method you will be using to sell your domain.
 Before negotiating your domain or listing your domains for sale,you should conduct a research to get a feel of what the value of the domain is.This is very simple, all you have to do is visit sedo.com or afternic.com and in the market place, you'll find similar domains in the niche similar to your domain name whill will give you an idea of what is selling and will help you fix the price of your domain.If not you'll find  yourself setting a price lower than expected ot too high which will discourage potential buyers.
 there are different method of selling your domain which will include:
Auction:Domain auction is a method of auctioning your domain for a price at auction sites.Its advantage is that you can sell your domain almost immediately,but its disadvantage is that if no body is interested in your domain,it could result to selling your domain at a lower price.Domain auction sites will require you to pay a membership fee of about $20.Greatdomains.com offers free membership to list your domains in the auction section.Though you can opt to pay a little fee for better exposure.At sedo.com you have to pay for your domain to be listed in auction listing for a period of time.There are other auction sites like Amazon,ebay etc.
Domain Brokers:Domain brokers will negotiate between the seller and buyer and complete the transaction for both parties.Sedo.com collects 10% of the domain fee from the buyer and this methods goes a long way in checking domain scams and fraud.websites such as domainmart.com is also a good domain broker.Topdollarnames.com is also a good domain broker.Most domain brokers charge between 10 to 20 percent of the final
negotiated price without extra commission on escrow cost. But to use the services of a domain brokr, i recommend sedo.com.

Domain Parking

 Making money from domain names can vary and the method you implement depends on you. You can choose to sell your domain for instant profit or you can choose to park your domains for residual income. But here we are going to be looking at how to make money from your parked domain(s)
What then is domain parking? Domain parking simply means pointing your domain name address or server from that of your registrar to that of
he parking company who then put advertisers' links on your domain to make money with you as a partner from visitors who visits your domains and click on the adverts on your domains.
 Parking companies have entered into big business of placing adverts on domains like google and yahoo by giving domain owners the chances of

parking domains and earning big from domain monetization.Therefore,even if it's just one domain,you can also earn money from it.
How to start domain parking:To start domain parking or domain monitization,first you need to register your domain name(s) and point the name server to the company ame server,because if you don't do this adverts will never come up on your domain(s).there are several domain parking companies out there, how ever you'll need to do a check on there strength, weakness,payment methods and probably length of payment periods.Below are reviews of parking companies, they are arranged in no particular order and the list is not exhustive so you are encouraged to find out more parking companies for yourself.
-Parked.com:parked.com is a very good company with payment made twice a month.Payment is made directly to your paypal account($20 min.), by check to any country ($100 min.), or money transfer to any country($2,500 min.) Once you are registered you are assigned an account manager and you'll need to wait a few days for your account to be verified. However, you'll need a minimum of 10 domains to be able to start parking with parked.com.

-Revenue direct:Revenuedirect.com is also a good parking site, you can start with just a single domain.Domain adverts comes up on your domain just two days after registration.they also pay through paypal, check and money transfer to any country.
-Dotzup:dotzup.com is also a very good site that you can begin your domain monitization campaign with just one domain.You'll need to apply and get approved before listing your domain(s) for parking. Payment is made every 45 days.
-Imonitize:imonetize.com is a very good site which combine the services of other parking companies. Imonetize.com will look at your domain and match it with the best paying site in that niche who they have been partnering with. They pay after 45 days also.
-Bodis:bodis.comis a full service destination for buying,selling and parking of domains.At bodis.com you can start with just a single domain and you can register and start parking your domain(s) immediately.
 Other parking sites include moniker.com,sedo.com,etc. This list can never be exhustive but you can do more research on the best parking companies online to get the best of what you want from your parking company.

Domain Name Appraisals

Before trying to sell your domains, you need to get some vital

information especially how much your domain is valued at. However, what

your domain is worth is dependent on how much the buyer is willing to

pay. However,you just don't want to sell your domain for less than its

actual value without atually knowing how much your domain is valued at.
 We are going to look at how to get free appraisals for our domains

using some free domain appraisals tools that you can use without having

to pay for membership registration.
Estibot is one of the free appraisal tools,estibot.com, but on estibot

you can only appraise one domain name per day, but am going to show you

how to run upto five domain appraisals per day for free.
 At estibot all you need is just type in your domain name and click

appraisals and the tool gives you the estimated price of your domain.

Under that you'll also see other domain extension that are

available,which is not our concern. Interestingly also you see related

sales, these are related sales of domains in the same niche or related

domains that have been sold on some domain markets and their prices.
 Now we want to run four more appraisals,and am going to show you how

to do that also for free.
 There is another free domain appraisal tool similar to estibot, so the

appraisals you get here will be almost similar to what you get from

estibot.com,this service is called Valuate www.valuate.com. Valuate

unlike estibot allows you four free domain appraisals per day.
Note:You may need to print your appraisals certificate because some

domain names buyers will like to see the domain appraisal certificate

before buying your domain, so this may be a useful tool.
 Finally unlike estibot.co where you have to pay $29 for membership

,valuate.com offers a life time membership fee of $10 and allows you to

perform up to 20 domain appraisals per day.I thinks it's a fair bargain.

Domain Research and Registration

When it comes to domain name flipping, it comes down to knowing what to

buy. This is because domain name flipping is a level playing ground as

internet or information marketing is. You don't need a lot of money or
SEO skills to succeed. This means when you are buying or tring to make

profits by selling at a higher price, you have to be certain of two

things:
-You are buying at a lower price to make profit.
- The domain will be seen as a good buy by potential buyers when you

eventually put up the domain for sell.
 When it comes to domain flipping,you need to be selective in what you

buy and that is why we want to concentrate on the .com domains,there

are other exception to this though. If you don't want to spend your

time and energy buying "dead" domains which may not guarantee the

desired profit.
 Now here is something i want us to understand. You can find good

domains at expireddomains.net with 1000 back links, or a page rank of

1+, and if you are lucky you might even find a domain that has both

1000 back links and a page rank of 1+, but these domains are very hard

to come by.Also bear in mind what was discussed about page rank,

back links and page indices.
 OK, if you find any domain you want to register, you must double check

to see if the domain you have picked is available, because there are

times when expireddomains.net list domains as deleted and yet when you

double check you realize that the domain is not available for free, so

please do you due diligent research before going to register the

domain.
 Finally,when you have gotten a domain name you want to register, you

can use the services of any of the domain registrars,there are so many

registrars out there but a few are listed below:
www.godaddy.com, www.namecheap.com, www.register.com,

www.networksolutions.com, www.namequickinfo.net.
 All the domain registrars are free to join and easy to manage your

account. So just type in your domain or domains if you have more than

one,and if its available, click on add to cart and go ahead to checkout

and pay for the domains. Most registrars charge between $8 to $10

annually for a domain, so you can check for the registrar with the best

pricing list.

Domain name Misconceptions.

i want us to look at some domains misconceptions, i don't want to call

them lies but rather misconceptions we've been told and have believed

all these years for sometimes now and time have come to reprogram our minds and forge ahead.
firstly, i want us to visit the site expireddomains.net and you'll find out something very interesting thereexpireddomains.net is a "Gold Mine" for checking expired and deleted domain names you can register, but i want us to consider somethings from the site.

- Not all the .com names sound great, some are even difficult to pronounce, so the fact that a domain name has a .com extension does not make it a good buy even if it is a 10 year old domain unless you want to tie down you hard earned money.Secondly,is the domain related to any niche(in case you want to build a website with the domain name) This is a point to consider.
- On the site (expireddomains.net) you see page rank(PR) page,index(PI) by Alexa,Dmoz etc and back links. I want to correct these misconceptions once and for all now and that's why this is coming up.
- Page rank(PR) as the name implies applies only to web pages because it is only a website that can be ranked on page ranking search engines like Google.com, yahoo.com and other search engines out there and not the domains themselves. So when you see page rank on expireddomains.net  note that it's for the website that was built around the domains before the domains expired. So domain names don't carry page ranks attached to them.
- Page index(PI) and back links are also not different from the page rank just discussed above, so domains don't get indexed by indexing sites and domains don't have back links on their own but websites do.
 So while searching for domains or when buying domains bear in mind that domains don't have page ranks,back links or indices on their own.All these are due to the existing traffic for the websites that were built around those domain names.
 So to succeed as a domineer you need to correct these misconceptions.

Domain name buying basics

 As a general rule you want to look for domains with no more than three

words. There are some exception to this rule but if you are starting

out you can make it easier on yourself by sticking with three or less

words domains. You should be able to find great three words domains and

occasionally two words domains, even though two words domains are hard

to come by but i am going to show you where you can be lucky to stumble

on two words domains.
 don't buy domains with hyphens, underscore or mix of letters and

numbers or abbreviated spellings.No modifiers such as great, best, top,

only etc.Try avoiding modifiers as much as possible.
 Don,t buy domains that contains company names or registered trade

marks of companies unless you want to land yourself into trouble.
 Now ,lets go and find our aged domains ready for registration. Aged

domains must be at least one year old, i.e someone must have previously

registered the name without back ordering it after expiration.
 There are many ways to find domain with the above requirements, but i

am going to show you the one you can easily use. My top choice is a

website called expired domains(expireddomains.net). This is a free

domain checker, you can register for free or just check the site

without registering, but the advantage of registering is that you will

find thousands more expired domains to search for.

 Once on the site check deleted domains and then click on the .com

extension, you can click on any extension you want but don't forget

that we are concentrating on the .com extension.On the right you'll see

when the domain expired and if it's still free to register.Though some

of the domains may be free on this domains but when you try registering

them you'll notice they have not yet been deleted so please take note

of that.
