[Tutorial] How to Buy & Flip Domain Names for Profit

Thanks for the post. Very cool idea.

I guess finding a good domain name to buy is like finding a niche, you just have to work at it.

Can you offer anymore hints ?

Also one more question.

I was searching for certain phrases and found one or 2 exact matches for company names. Now the domain is obvously worthless to me as it is a lowish traffic and not really a niche. There are also no bids and the bidding ends in 36 hours.

Would it be worth my while to contact the companies and offer them this domain before i bid on it to insure i have a buyer ?

If you buy domains that are based on someone's trademark you can lose them via the UDRP process. It costs someone $1,500 to file the complaint and companies do this all the time. Then a panel of judges will look at the complaint, look at the domain owner's response, and decide who should get the domain.
Sometimes a company can file a lawsuit against you and sue you for damages. This is more rare but has occured.

My advice would be to stay away from company names unless they have another meaning (i.e. if you bought Apple.com it is a company but it is also a fruit so you could have a legitimate right to the domain).

Part 3 will come out sooner or later, maybe a week.

Not bad but clearly need a good amount of money to start with as there is plenty of competition for these.
 
Thanks for the share. I was thinking about getting into this business myself.

You can start out by buying hand registered .com domains for $7.50 each. But you need to do a lot of research to find ones that hold value and aren't registered yet. I've sold hand registered domains for anywhere from $50 up to $5,000. It just takes A LOT of research, but there is very good money in it.
 
I'm stuck at how much i should ask for a domain, i see a Pending Deletion "buyers domain" example: buy?????.org with 4k exact searches. How much would this domain be worth(if any)?

p.s: no backlinks to it.

This is the part of domain flipping that is the hardest and you need to develop a feel for. I usually only focus on .com domains unless I find something premium in another extension.

Part 3 is queued up to post tomorrow night.
