Making Money Online From Expired Domains is very easy and I will be taking you on the journey on how it's done.
Without a specific address, there is no way one can locate any website online. For easy identification, each website is given a unique name, otherwise known as domain, which ends with dot com (.com) suffix so as to show the purpose of the company behind the website.
Officially, dot com (.com) domains reveal the commercial purpose of websites while religious and non-profit organizations reveal theirs with dot org (.org) domains.
Apart from those popular domain extensions, there are gazillion others: .net, . info, .home, .mobi, among others.
These special domain extensions — domain address suffixes — make the domains TLD, Top-level domains. They are rated first class domains and attract expensive rates.
Apart from the original Top-level domains, we have ccTLD (international Top-level domains) and gTLD (geographic Top-level domains, .africa, .ng, .ca, .in etc).
As internet became a goldmine, domain names appreciated in value based on how long they’d been existing. Long-term domains, which were centered on commercial keywords like car(s), cloth(es), phone(s), house, furniture, food, drink, were sold for unimaginable prices.
For instance, www.cars.com was sold for $1.8 Billion; www.clothing.com was sold for $15 Million; www.tesla.com was sold for $11 Million, www.hotels.com was sold for $11 Million, www.insure.com was sold for $16 Million, just to mention few expensive ones.
Next in line in terms of value are the two-word domains. Significantly, the longer a domain is, the more it reduces in value.
The preamble, of course, is sufficient enough to buttress the importance and value web addresses carry in the online space.
Due to the enriching and lucrative nature of domain business, you won’t see a valuable one-word TLD domain as all the ones you can ever come across in your dictionary has already been registered.
So, how then do you make money online from domain names that are valuable?
It is simply by capitalizing on the expired domains.
As I mentioned earlier, all TLD domains you can ever think of have been registered. However, millions of them drop after their owners failed to renew them within the 30-day expiration period given to all domain owners.
As these valuable domains drop into online space, they are made available for online purchase on any registrars website like GoDaddy, Namecheap, Google domains, Bluehost, among others.
Mind you, purchasing any expired domain can’t, and won’t, make you money online; you have to do proper research to ascertain its value before purchasing it.
Onward, domain values are inherent in the number of people using similar domains. The more competitive a keyword is; the more valuable its web address is.
So, once you search for the keyword of a domain and you come across several websites using a longer variation of it when you have a shorter version of the exact keyword, you’ve struck a goldmine as you can sell off the domain to the webmasters who own those other longer variations.
All you do when you now possess the ownership right of the shorter domain is to contact those aforementioned prospects through the displayed emails on their websites via contact us pages.
At this juncture, you should ask questions like the ones below.
How do you know a domain has expired?
You can always get that info and other important metrics of expired domains on www.expireddomains.net
You can never go wrong in this online business as long as you target domains with high competition.
Then, for ideas on the exact pricing of one, two or three-word domains, visit www.namepros.com or www.dnjournal.com for report of old domains sales. Studying them, overtime, will increase your business acumen in the billion-dollar domain flipping industry.
Many internet marketers whose specialty are domaining, otherwise known as domainers, can be qualified with this euphemism of leaving money on the table in this online business due to the way they sell off domains that should be raking hundreds to thousands of dollars for them on a monthly to yearly basis. I will advise you to avoid this pitfall as much as you avoid a fierce Pitbulls on rampage.
Perhaps you are just getting to know that any expired domain with high traffic is a good source of income for you as a domainer. You must never sell them off like you do to other domains.
Of course, you can always list your domains on popular domain marketplaces, likes of Afternic, GoDaddy, Sedo etc, if you can’t find buyers for them in time. But never try to list a domain with good traffic and CPC, cost per click.
Using the expired domain website I unveiled the other time, you can filter your research so as to figure out domains with good traffic and high CPC.
Take note, that expired domain aggregating website won’t reveal, in detail, the exact amount of traffic that visit your desired domain. You will need to unravel this mystery all by yourself.
To unravel it, just check out for their Alexa rank, which is a worldwide metric used to rank websites based on the number of their traffic, available on the expired domain website.
The lower the Alexa rank a domain has; the more traffic it has. So, always be on the lookout for domains with lower Alexa rank.
In case you come across with one with low Alexa rank, use Google keyword tool (search for it via Google search engine) to find out the exact price of its keyword. If it has a high CPC, purchase the domain and park it with Sedo.
The number of web visit impression and number of Ad click, placed by the parking company, will equate the amount of dollars you will receive on a monthly basis.
Rather than getting a one-time selling fee for your domain, you will be getting a passive income from Sedo. This passive income can be increased by adding more high CPC keyword-rich domains to your parking portfolio.
The yearly renewal fee of the domains will be insignificant once your passive income exceed the renewal fee.
Busineesswise, it is not advisable to buy more domains names for parking when you are losing money with your current portfolio. With such portfolio, try to cut down on all unprofitable domains and retain the profitable ones.
Moreover, after amassing wealth from this online business, you can level up by buying one-word expired domain name, which is not valuable, so as to develop it. Although developing domain into full website will cost you good cash, you will definitely be rewarded for your effort overtime when you eventually sell it off.
