You may have tried your hands at many well-defined aspects of the online business, like web hosting, affiliate marketing, list building, PPC advertising, copywriting, ebook publishing etc., but my guess is the idea of ‘domaining’ have never sounded exciting to you.

That’s because most marketers don’t have much clues as to how to turn in a huge profit out of domain marketing.

Simply put, domaining is the business of buying and selling (also known as ‘flipping’) domain names for a profit. If it sounds to you like the stock market, you’re quite right since in this case, domains are treated like commodities and traded based on their final values.

Let’s begin with what IS a domain name…

It’s what you put in the http:// address of your website.

Google.com is a domain name, so is Yahoo.com and CNN.com

These are BRANDS developed by businesses. For these domains to have meaningful and huge monetary values, it takes time to build up the business to reflect the brand. This is the old-school business thought.

But straight in the minds of most people, there are GENERIC domain names that are equally, if not MORE, valuable!

For instance, Christmas.com, Chocolate.com or Money.com

Those names are worth MILLIONS of dollars to the right person or business.

So why are domains so valuable?

Branded domains have value because they are GIVEN value by the owners.

CNN brands CNN.com across their TV broadcasting network, and so millions of viewers are aware of it. That gives it value.

But no one needs to ‘brand’ Golf.com, do they? 

Everyone who plays golf knows the name and when they look online for information about golf, they will type in ‘Golf.com’ into the browser. That’s the psychological secret: generic names are just that easy to remember.

And here’s the interesting bit… 

Even if they don’t know about Golf.com, when they type the word ‘Golf’ into their browser  address bar, the browser  will AUTOMATICALLY load up the .com – in this case, Golf.com

This is called TYPE-IN traffic.

Are you wondering how many people actually do this? You’d be amazed.

MILLIONS do it. And do it EVERY DAY!

That’s a lot of free traffic, right?

And THAT’S what makes these domain names so valuable.

Of course, not all domain names are valuable either because it’s too long and wordy or you ‘contaminate’ a hot domain name with a less popular EXTENSION (the worst is to have the country abbreviation at the end).

So before you get set to invest a bunch of cash in buying up your set of domain names to profit from, make sure you get a good idea of what makes a domain name valuable.

The whole idea of domaining is for you to buy a domain name and keep it until it gets popular when people may bid to buy it from you for a premium price.

This can only happen if the domain name you buy has INTRINSIC value. Popular generic terms, short and snappy domains, 3- or 4- or even 5- letter domain names—all these are valuable and can fit a ‘buy-hold-sell’ strategy of domaining.

And there are other ways to monetize a domain while you own it—from the type-in traffic your domain will get.

In fact, there are services and programs that will help you do it—in exchange for a small share of your profits. You do nothing except buy the domain and park it with the service.  They’ll do all the work of monetizing it and give you the profits, after deducting their small share of it.

Can you spell “E-A-S-Y money”?! :)

HOW can you begin trying out ‘domaining’?

It is not really difficult or expensive.

Once upon a time, a domain would cost you $35 per year to register and you had to register it for 2 years minimum.

Today, some registrars let you buy domains for $9 (or even less, during special offers or by using discount coupons).

So there is very little financial risk involved in domaining.

But because the barrier to entry is so low, everyone is dabbling in it!

The challenge is the secret to doing it like the top 5% of domainers is not very often revealed. This is where your recommendation comes in.
