How to Leverage on Expired Domains

Basically, there have been millions of domain names registered over the last decade. A lot of those domains come up for renewal. Some of the domain owners may decide to renew them, while some others may not for obvious reasons.

Reports reveal that between 15, 000 and 70, 000 domains expire everyday. That’s a huge amount of domains that are coming to the secondary market everyday. In the real sense, most of these are not valuable domains. But a lot have quality existing traffic and links that make them valuable.

Now, imagine failing to renew a good domain with traffic, and allowing it to expire, for others to buy.

As soon as you find an expired domain name with good traffic, you can buy and backorder it. If there is no competition for a particular domain name, you get it automatically, and it would be transferred to your account or wherever you want it transferred.

Remember, any expired domain name you are buying, must have highly targeted traffic/visitors for you to be able to hit the jackpot.

As soon as you buy the expired domain names, just point it to a company like sedo.com, and wait for your cheque at the end of the month. Getting those expired domain names with traffic could actually earn you $500 - $1000 monthly when done properly.

You may also be involved in promoting your sites through pay per click marketing, search engine optimization, email marketing and other relevant internet advertising medium.

WHY THE RICH GET RICHER AND THE POOR GETS POORER

In some parts of the world, some people work for a fortnight or monthly pay check, which they need to survive. But, it is high time, individuals allow their money work for them rather than labouring so hard to earn money.

When you have money working for you, you wouldn’t be afraid of any restructuring, disengagement or re-engineering exercise, whatever name the employers’ choose to call it.

Again if you have money working for you, the current global economic recession or financial meltdown as it may also be called, may not be a major concern to you. It’s just a matter of having assets surpassing your daily expenses rather than incurring liabilities.

Certainly, you would be referred to as a wealthy investor or entrepreneur, when the money you are earning from your investments and businesses are in excess than your liabilities, then money is working for you. At that stage, money begins to go errand for you.

Unfortunately, some individuals in the middle class are financial illiterates, that do not understand what it takes to make or create passive income from other streams of wealth jackpot. There are so many online business models aspiring entrepreneurs could actually take advantage of on the internet. Examples include Earning Revenues from parked domains – click http://tinyurl.com/pxmb27; http://tinyurl.com/ozrmog; http://tinyurl.com/ozkdxo; http://tinyurl.com/qd9ol6; http://tinyurl.com/ozm76m; http://tinyurl.com/pzysm5; http://tinyurl.com/qrhqy2 Bulk Sms business, Website designing and hosting and a host of others.

They engage themselves in the vicious cycle of rat race. To them any increase in pay is meant to be spent gallivanting, acquiring luxuries. They value buying latest electronics, getting another car, keeping a mistress or more, moving to a more tastefully furnished apartment owned by another person instead of investing in wealth opportunities. And yet they will be the ones to agitate and carry placards for pay rise, better welfare packages etc from the employers’. This class of people prefers working extra hours of overtime and spending more than what they earn, and they end up Just-Over-Broke.

The surefire route to breaking this vicious cycle of rat race is increasing our cash flow, not spending more than our earning and accumulating liabilities, in the name of enjoyment, but investing in viable businesses.

Some of us may have started as an employee but the truth is we don’t need to remain too long there, without considering being an entrepreneur – and investing in your own business.

This is why the Rich and Wealthy keep getting richer and the poor gets poorer, because they understand the difference between assets and liabilities, and they are financial gurus.

The following tips should be applied towards achieving Financial Abundance, though they are not limited to:

1. Avoiding Credits

Everyone, companies are offering free credits or equity financing. It may seem appealing to pay installmentally over a number of years. But, you end up adopting a lifestyle of debts from purchasing liabilities, instead of investing in real estates, stocks, owning a profitable online business like Domain Names Investment.

2. Reading Financial & Money Management Books

I get inspired reading books by Robert Kiyosaki like Rich Dad Poor Dad, Retire Young and Retire Rich. There are other good money management books at our disposal. Go ahead read them and be wise in your finances. You may also attend wealth seminars and workshops on entrepreneurship.

3. Making a decision to be an Entrepreneur

Having a business means owning a system that generates income regardless of whether you are there or having your vacation somewhere in Obudu Cattle Ranch in Nigeria, A Cinema, on the sandy beach in Kuramo, Nigeria or Miami, U.S.A

As an Entrepreneur, your money works for you and you wouldn’t have to be afraid to sack your employer before he/she does that to you. How long will you continue to be an employees that works for money? Visit: www.domainentrepreneurs.blogspot.com for only numerous online genuine and legitimate businesses you can invest in with almost zero capital, and which can be done part-time – in the office during lunch hour, from the comfort of your home, or even full time, with your laptop or from a cybercafé.

Yes, you can publish any type of informational material with zero naira cost and then make 100% profit selling it online.
Gone are the days when you will have to go through a dozen publishers and editors and then organize a book launch for your book. Now you can publish an e-book of more than a hundred pages without spending much. And with one of such books online you could be making a fortune.

So what can you write about?

And so on and so forth.

You will be amazed to see there are a number of people online who are willing to pay for the information and knowledge you have. Now get your calculator. If you sell this your e-book which cost you nothing to publish, besides what it cost you to acquire the knowledge, for let’s say N5, 000.00. if you end up selling just 500 copies every month; figure out how much you would be getting!

Domain Names (Internet Real Estate)

Domain names are just like lands purchased at relatively cheap prices and allowing it to appreciate in value before selling at a very high profit. Or even building on it or letting it out for a recurring income in the form of rental dues.
Yes, no wonder, it is also called Internet Real Estate.
But domain names are bought and used online for several reasons:
You can buy and sell it off at your own favorable price or when the value appreciates. Registering a domain name starts from $6.99 - $9.95 at present depending on the registrars.
You can also decide to park your domains with some adsense adverts that can be handled by any of the reputable parking companies online and make some money too.
You can even decide to build/set up a website with it and sell your products on your website.
Now this is one interesting way to make passive income from your domain names. It is called Domain Parking.

DOMAIN PARKING
It allows owners of domain names or website address to display customized pages for their names. When visitors arrive at these sites, they are shown targeted advertising related to the domain name and keywords. Users can click through to those advertisers’ sites, and the domain owner can earn money.
In other words, it has to do with registering your domain names. I use http://www.nicheaday.com/ to know the most searched keywords/niche and how much advertising bids is placed on the keywords before thoughtfully creating domain names around such keywords. The cost of registering a domain name differs from website. Foreign Domain registrars you can check out include but not limited to the following:
http://www.netfirms.com/
http://www.godaddy.com/
http://www.dynadot.com/
http://www.bluehost.com/
Or better still, you can also check out any of the hosting companies in Nigeria, but ensure that you are getting quality service from any of them in terms of customer service and quick response time.
There are many advertising companies online like google.com, yahoo.com msn.com etc that are ready to pay you to advertise on your website or blog. This is not adsense program.
Domain parking is free. You are only required to have a memorable and niche targeted domain name that can generate traffic, preferably not more than two word phrase.
Companies like Google.com, Yahoo.com, and Msn.com will supply the adverts to your domain name. You don’t even need to bother how that will be done. That is the work of the parking companies. You just wait for your cheque at the end of the month or 15th day of the following month depending on the parking company you registered with, and how much you have made.
You can check any of the parking companies below and sign up for free.
http://www.parked.com/ - You must register a minimum of Ten (10)
domain names to be accepted here.
http://www.afternic.com/
http://tinyurl.com/r7qptb- You must provide an email address from your
own site to be accepted here. This is because, you need to confirm the email address you provided in the course of signing up in their site. And certainly not with free email accounts like gmail or yahoo mail accounts.
http://www.goldkey.com/
The whole process doesn’t take time, depending on the speed of your internet connection. After that you are done with the set-up process of your automated income machine. At the end of the month, your cheque is sent to your address (which must be secured).
Visit these sites below to see what domain parked sites look like:
http://www.globalrecessionupdate.com/; http://www.your-car-insurance.info/; http://www.humanresourcesconsultinginnaija.com/; http://www.automatedcashengine.com/; http://www.bailoutbondsoffer.com/; http://www.digitalphotomarketer.com/; http://www.networking-sites.com/
Any name you register must:
1. Be easy to pronounce and understand.
Your potential visitors should be able to spell, understand and remember your domain name.
Consider your target niche market, since they are the visitors who certainly will bring in traffic to your website. When choosing a domain name, you will typically want to register a dotcom (.com) because it’s the easiest to remember. You are also at liberty to protect your website by registering the other extensions like .net, .org, .info, .tv etc
Be Search engine friendly
Consider registering your domain names by using the best keywords that define your niche. Search engines tend to locate and rank websites more easily when the domain name is keyword related.
Ensure you keep it simple, short and be creative as much as possible.
3. Be Unique
Your domain name should be descriptive and reflective of what your site or your online business is all about.
4. Be easy to outlive and grow with.
When choosing your domain names do not limit your usability and applicability of the name to the short term. Choose a name that will give you rooms to expand and still work several years to come. For example a domain like http://www.meandyou2009.com/ might lose its traffic after year 2009 and beyond.
Note: Avoid registering domain names that are trademarks of other companies, because you will be attracting legal actions from their representatives.

Expired Domain Names
Another good way of finding unique names for your personal or business use is through the secondary market – by going through the list of expired domain names and backorder it at a cheap price.
But ensure, you consider the traffic on the sites, before buying such domain names. Check http://www.alexa.com/ to see the volume of traffic the site has, and then backorder it. Perhaps, you want to know the details of the owner for possible negotiation, click on http://www.whois.com/, and search through, you will find the information needed.
Sources claim that about 70,000 – 90,000 domain names expire daily without the owners renewing them for reasons best known to them. Listen to this – that domain name is yours for the period of registration which is usually One (1) year. At the end of One (1) year, you are expected to renew that domain name. Failing which someone else might just go ahead and register the domain name and you will not have any legal claim to it. It is possible for you to register a domain name for less than $10 and resell it far higher than what you paid to get it. Getting such domain names are good avenues of earning $1,000 and above monthly as income from parking the domain names.
Rick Schwartz, who is called the Domain King, because he earns $2,000,000.00 annually in passive income from his domains, was asked “if you were getting involved with this today, what would you be doing?” He answered, if I had no money, like I had no money when I got into this before, that’s what I would do. I’d be going in and buying domains for really cheap and turning around and flipping them, making $500 - $1,000 a pop”.
You can check out the following sites for expired domain names:

Years back, domain names like www.business.com, www.download.com to mention a few, were sold for a whopping $7.5 million each.

The Basics Tools of Domain Names Business

The domain name business actually involves either registering a quality domain name with any of the reputable domain names registrars and parking them with parking service aggregators. The parking service providers have amazing software that optimize the website with pay per click parking related to the keywords in the domain names from Google, Yahoo, Msn etc.

More so, a domain name entrepreneur can also buy from the marketplace. It is estimated that an average of 70,000 – 100,000 domain names expire on daily basis. Apparently, these are domain names that the owners must have spent quality time and money on driving traffic and submitting to search engines, and perhaps, due to negligence they allow the domains to expire without immediate renewal plans; and other smart entrepreneurs goes ahead to register those names to their advantage.
In some other cases, the expired domain names may be sold by their original owners for profit maximization.

Meanwhile, there are rules that must be adhered to, before registering domain names like avoiding trademark names, ensuring only valuable and perhaps, one or two word domain names are registered. Some newbies to the internet might still be thinking, the internet is .com world. Though, .com extension is a universally recognized domain extension, but there are other Top level domains (TLDs) like:
- .net - Network
- .org - Non Profit Organizations
- .biz - Business
- .edu - Education
- .info - Information
- .gov - Government Agencies

Aspiring domain name entrepreneurs can choose from any of the reputable domain name registrars, and check for the availability of the domain name they intend registering. Registering domain names can be as low as $10.00 per annum.

It is advisable, that aspiring domain names entrepreneurs should make use of available resources online like www.keywordtracker.com, or www.freekeywordtracker.com google trends, www.nicheaday.com etc to know which keywords attract the highest PPC bidding and frequently searched by visitors to the internet.

Making Income with Domain Names

After purchasing, your domain name, the next thing is how to make money with them. There are three acceptable ways of making money with your domain names, which are:

1. Pay Per Click Parking

All you need to do is create a valuable and keyword-rich domain name and park the domain name with a parking service, which will optimize the site with PPC parking. Each time a visitor to your site click on the ads, payment is made to the parking company and thereafter you are paid your own share, usually on the 16th of the following month.
Everyday, millions of people conduct searches on the internet using search engines. Some others may choose to type-in a domain name directly into their browser in the course of searching for a particular product, service or information.
Therefore, to succeed in this business, make your domain named keyword-rich, and it would be a surfers’ delight.

2. Affiliate Marketing

This is another way of making money with your domain names. It is capable of making you over $2000 monthly.
Affiliate program are programs that allow you to refer people to buy a product or service and on every sale, you earn commission, which could be between 50% - 75%.

All you need to do is simply point your purchased domain name with quality traffic, to your affiliate link, which is usually given when you register with any of the affiliate programs. Your affiliate links will be used to track your sales for you to earn income.

3. Flipping Domain Names for Profit.

This strategy involves after registering or buying expired domain names with quality traffic, you develop it to a website and sell for over $10,000 as the case may be.

One can even get content on the website either as an affiliate or your own free products depending on your keyword-rich domain name, and then you can start earning income up to $1,000 monthly before selling it.

You can even do your analysis. If your domain names bring in $1,000 monthly as income, then you can sell for between $10,000 - $50, 000 for profit taking, as the case may be.

Conclusively, as an aspiring domain entrepreneur, all you need to do, is to strictly play by the rules and techniques of domain name business and you are going to also start earning five or Six figures income.

Making Money With Domain Names

When it comes to ways to make money on the Internet, domain name investing is one of the easiest to get into. It is fairly simple to start and it can pay off rather well for a small investment. To open the doors on this investment opportunity, it is important to understand how it works.
Domaining, as it is often called, involves nothing more than buying website domain names and parking them through parking services or selling them to others. The prospect takes a little time to master, but the returns can be worth the effort. The financial returns tend to come in one of two different ways - ad revenue or resale value.
To get started in domaining requires buying website names, having them registered and then parking or reselling them. How much or how little one can make will vary greatly on the amount of natural traffic the domain name tends to pull in or how highly sought after the name happens to be.
There are a few methods to use for figuring out what types of domain names to register and buy. The most common are “type-ins” or “typos.” Typos are names that are similar to existing websites or brand name products. Typo sites receive traffic due to accidental “typos” people make in trying to reach other sites. This type of buying can get a little tricky, especially when trademarked names are being used though. Some domainers don’t feel the typo route is the best way to go for legality issues. Another route to take is to buy actual “type-ins.” These are domain names that are commonly used in web searches. For example, “organicdogfood” or other actual words that might be used in searches. This is considered by many to be more legitimate. Another option is buying formerly used domain names that have traffic or backlinks and simply parking them or reselling them.
There are many options to go about buying and selling domain names. Some people buy domain names in bulk from places like Moniker.com and then research them to see if they have money-making potential. Other options include going through domaining forums, such as NamePros.com or DNForum.com. These sites are used for buying and selling domain names. These are traded just like real estate might be bought and sold. It is a buyer beware kind of world though. Not all deals come through in the end. Some sites offer a seller and buyer ranking system to enable buyers to check out the integrity of a transaction. Other options for protection include escrowing the money through a payment service, which I prefer.
Determining the real value of domain names can be the hardest part of this type of business. It generally comes down to what the buyer thinks the name is worth. Buyers can sometimes request revenue and traffic statements.
Once domain names are chosen and purchased, there are a few options for actually making money off these sites with little to no work. Parking services are the most common route for making this happen. These services allow people to “park” their pages with little or no content. This means the pages will pop up as a result of an Internet search. While content doesn’t go along with the package, the landing page can have text ads. The domainer that owns the domain gets paid for the returns on those ads. The other option is to simply sell the domain names to those who want them for further development of their own websites or to reap natural ad revenues.
Parking services like Sedo and Parked.com have their own rules domainers must follow. Although these services do allow text ads on parked pages, they tend to frown on backlink generation. They expect that traffic that comes in will be of natural, organic means. Simply put, they want accidental hits, normal Internet searches or existing backlinks to drive traffic. If site owners do too much to generate traffic, their pages can be taken down.
Domaining can be a relatively easy way to make money using the Internet. It doesn’t take much effort to get into. Mastering the ways to capitalize on earnings might take some time though. While some forms of it are not considered fair or legitimate, such as squatting on trademarked names, the overall practice is working for many people.
