Review of Domain Graduate

Domain Graduate is a very interesting e-book that discusses not only the buying and selling of domains, but takes it to a new level with monetization methods for the domains that you already own. Sean Stafford teaches you how to get good value when you buy your domains and explains tricks that work while also pointing out common mistakes. However, the real gem of this e-book is how he clarifies the road to wealth and the possibilities of making your money (and parked domains) work for you.

Domain Graduate opens with an outline on the situation in the current domain market and what potential opportunities are still available for new entrants to the market. This is no mere introduction as a formality because Sean knows why some entrants feel they are being cornered or pushed aside by bigger players. The truth is he has a domaining road map for the masses.

Perhaps the main theme of the e-book is how to evaluate a domain’s intrinsic value. It all boils down to proving this value so you can resell the domain for a profit, isn’t it? Sean  highlights and explains key factors that affect a domain’s value like the type of existing traffic it receives, its keywords, history etc., and also the pros and cons of engaging parking companies and various possible options on how to increase the value of your domain portfolio, including whether you should develop domains into some forms of content site at the expense of time.

I think Sean has written with a unique take from his own perspective and experience as well and Domain Graduate does succinctly address the concerns of new domain owners and point them in the right direction in its 85 pages.
