Little help for a newbie

Praedator · Oct 3, 2016

Hey, I'm really interested in the domain/website flipping business and I'd like to start on something, but I don't really know how. I was looking on flippa and almost without a doubt bought a domain name here, almost for free ($6), 10 years old and its name is consisted of two main keywords in that niche.

What should be my next step? Try to flip it? Find some buyers and offer directly, or build a website around it, promote it, make some stable revenue stream and then sell the website?

The niche is about maybe future way of producing green energy, so I think it wouldn't be bad to keep the domain in the future.

Sorry for newbie question, everyone has to start somewhere. Thanks!

If you find a good domain to buy, then you have 2 choices to invest that are:
- Keep your domain and find the right buyer to flip it with x2, x3 buyer price, there're many places that you can list your domain such as Sedo, flippa, NP, namejet,...
- Build a website on that domain, try to get traffic and revenue as much as possible, then you flip the webiste (domain + website). This way will earn you better revenue but it will take you a lot of time to do. You will need to build content for the site, do SEO to get traffic and do promotion to get user
Good luck to you,

Go on godaddy auctions sometime you can get a good appraisal on there.

Hi, newbie here. With a bunch of new extensions coming out for the web (e.g. .eu, .fr, .club), is there any potential in registering some domains of well-known brand names or official authorities in the hopes of selling them back to these establishments eventually?

You can definitely sell a 10 year old domain for a lot of money almost everywhere online.

Also in order to flip the domain I suggest to create a service or product based site where new buyer can see the potential if bought it from you

That's what I thought when I purchased the domain. And for $6? It was almost a joke.

A ten year old domain can be worthless if it has no links, if it is not short/brandable or has a keyword with no search volume.
Domain extension is a big factor too.

Did you check if the domain has been black listed?

Is there a Trademark ® issue?

Did you check Namebio to compare prior similar name sales?

Why was a 10 year old domain dropped and sold for $6.00?

I believe it has no links, but the name is brandable, has two main words for the niche and a preposition ,,to". It's a .com domain.

I did not check it. As I stated above, I'm just a newbie in this business, so I don't know how to do this stuff.

If you plan to sell it to end user, i'll suggest researching more on what other websites of the same business is doing. Sometimes you can email them if you see their business would be better off with your domain.
