Domaining strategies

This is my true story

There was a time when I was very frustrated about my business domaining. I have people selling areas for hundreds of thousands of dollars and I had so many areas that are not prepared to pay for the fees, let thousands of people. What was the worst thing was that I was not too much money into the parking is.

Every time that I am the fields of sales, I returned tickets. What I done wrong? Was there a mistake in my investment strategy? I had to do something, or simply from domaining companies. It was a too-or-die situation for me.

There is still something that – I hate standard.

Then I sat back on a rational view my investment strategy and experience, not with her. And soon, I have done.

What was not in my strategy

Simple – My areas are not “premium” or the end-to-end traffic loads. Most areas in my portfolio were – and are – the rich and the keywords and brandable excellent development potential.

Most send the money simply domaines and investment wherever they may not be too much effort – and the development is not one of them.

My main problem was that I selling the wrong thing to poor people.

But there were two major problems – 1) and transport premium domains cost much more than I could not move and 2) I had a lot of money invested in a portfolio of keyword-rich areas.

Very quickly, I was to discover that something would change my fortune.

I have, like on the site in a sale of the auction has sold and $ 1500 for a few hours. That was a gain of about $ 1200 on a site that has less than 10 minutes per day to run.

Some time ago I bought a database with 1000 puzzles paid $ 20 and $ 50 an encoder for a simple script code reading from the database and displayed on the website. I have a method for producing one of the mysteries related to mine action programs, links to specific sites of social networks and gave around 10 U.S. dollars for 100 directory submission.

I started selling this site for 750 $ after five months. Was my investment of $ 80 and the download time in the database and the script on my site.

Another was a small company with marketing website where I Item 27 posts that I had, by the editors freelancers paid $ 10 by mail. My cost $ 270 and a couple of hours in connection with a consolidation and was sold for $ 1300.

More interesting is the Web-design blog, somebody that I bought for 700 $. I have a few hours and wrote a kick-ass item I could on the home page of Digg. Then I took a shift and re-DPP print article and paid 120 U.S. dollars to the editors, journalists write 12 articles for them.

The website to get loads of traffic and started the $ 200 – $ 300 Membership income, or $ 70 in AdSense revenue and $ 150 link text sales per month. After 5 months I have sold for $ 4250. I was not very much by the sale, but also keep all the money, which he of affiliate programs, text and adsense link sale. Your profit from this website was around $ 5700.

All this was more than sufficient for me to prove that there is a potential for money – and many of them – by something that just is not done. And the fact that I keywords and the rich brandable areas has been a huge advantage for me. Everything I had to do to rinse and repeat.
