Are Domain Names Still A Money Maker?

Written By Father of Three on Saturday, March 24, 2007 | 9:28 AM

This article is guest posted by Christopher Johnson.

The short answer is yes. The long answer is a bit more complicated. Used to be, you could just register any old name and someone would come along and buy it from you for ridiculous amounts of money, especially if you were squatting on a copy written domain name. But that was before. Now they have laws that protect intellectual property from being used like that, and many of the good names have been taken. So what to do? Here are some useful ideas and tips on how to monetize your domain portfolio:



1. First thing’s first.


Choose your domain name. This should be done by researching a niche market, and finding a name that is either still available, or about to expire, be careful to check that the name isn’t copy written first. i say niche market, and many of you are probably going, “why not just get a variation on the most popular searches out there?” Because, those markets are hard to break into. I own four domain names, one for jobs in California, one for couture style clothing (hey don’t laugh, it’s just business), one about beer, and one that is an adult domain name. The one for California jobs has received the most hits, the couture one next, followed by the one about beer, and the adult domain was a DISTANT last, as the market for that is literally flooded with domain names. Pick a niche you know people have interest in.



2. Find out, within that niche, what people are searching for.



You want your domain to be immediately associated with that search, so use Google Trends to find out what key words and what synonyms of key words people are actually typing in, then use the most popular. In this instance, past the domain name category, with key words more popular is better. This will ensure that your site comes up more often in the searches performed most often by your target market.



3. Pick a good registrar.



My money so far has been on GoDaddy, not just for the prices ( and a simple Google search for “GoDaddy discount codes” will get you money off), but also because their back office is really clean and easy to use.



4. Be open to sales.



Sell the domain name when the price is right, but be patient also. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither will your fortune. Some may even be complete duds, so be sure to ask some friends if they think it would be a name they would buy before you purchase it.



5. Don’t just sit there, do something. Great, you bought it.



You are now the proud owner of a domain name that doesn’t go anywhere and no one knows about. Park the domain. Parking is when you set your domain name’s name servers to a different site like my favorite Name Drive. They have really nice templates that look like actual sites and a decent payout rate. If not Name Drive, check out Sedo. There is also They then populate the template with adds and people click on them. That is they will once you promote the domain names. For my money, you can’t beat free, so check out Web CEO. This tool submits your contact info, as well as your URL to tons of search engines in one shot, and helps you optimize your other sites, too.



6. Lastly, be patient.



This may take a while and you may need to buy a bunch of domain names before you hit on some winners. In this business, the greatest tools in your toolbox will be creativity and patience.

Type At Home Online

Written By Father of Three on Monday, February 12, 2007 | 8:46 AM

Work Online




A lot of people are going online and want to start making some extra money. They hear stories of real people who work at home from the comfort of their houses. One of the famous programs that are out there are called typing at home opportunities. The type at home on the web program is really easy to use and it has become one of the most searched items on the internet.


A type at home program is available to anyone who wants to generate income from the web and make that extra income. This programs is very similar to the term data entry.


And now to the big question:


Why would anyone would want to work at home? Well, this is because a person can earn more while working less hours then when they work at a job for a boss. A person who works at home has more time to do the things that he or she wants to do in life. They have more freedom. They can spend more time with their families. They can do what ever they want to do. Take a vacation when ever they feel like it. Have extra money after paying all of their bills.


The best advice I can give you is to do your own research when you are looking for a typing at home program. Now, I also know that you don't know what to look for when you do your research so I do recommend that you take your time in doing this. This is very important if you want to find the right typing at home opportunity.


When you join a good and solid program, you will need to put in the effort. If you think that you can just do nothing and get paid for it, you are wrong. You will need to do what ever the instructions tell you to do and take action daily.


Before you a type at home program, ask yourself these questions first:


"How much money do I really want to make that will be enough?"



"What are my income and personal goals?"



"How many hours per day can I devote to this program?"



"Will I do what ever it takes to succeed?"



"Will I be patient enough to make this work for myself?"



"Will I let setbacks and obstacles get in my way to success?"



You need to sit down and really answer each question. Really focus on them. Once you know what you want and have answered all of these questions, I suggest that you find 3-6 good programs. Then narrow it down to 1 program that you really feel comfortable with and join it. This will be the time to take action toward what ever your goals are. If you are able to follow the simple instructions then you will be able to work from the comfort of your home.


You too can make your financial dreams a reality if you just commit to succeeding online. In fact, many are doing just that. They are making great income online from home.

How did I Earn at home?

Written By Father of Three on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 | 7:47 AM

Internet Marketing 101



One of the scariest things that I have ever done was back in 1996 when I left my full time job to go back to school. in my early thirties at the time, I always had this dream of working from home but had no idea how to get started. So, the first thing I did was enroll in some computer courses and took out a student loan and purchased my first computer. What was supposed to be "an introduction to computers" course left me feeling so intimidated that I almost quit. However I knew that If I was ever going to learn to build a successful business at home I needed to get online and learn all I could.


Fast forward 11 years later and through trial and error I have gone from being totally computer illiterate to following my dream of being a work at home mom (WAHM). I may not be the internet marketing guru bringing in tens of thousands each month but as a stay at home mom who wanted to supplement our family income I am happy. However, there are times when I have lost focus and didn't accomplish the things that I needed to do. I had so many projects lined up at once that I didn't know how to prioritize or would get so overwhelmed that I would just procrastinate. Days like that made me crave the stability of a weekly paycheck even if it meant having to go back out and join the rat race.


Many people think that you have a lot of free time on your hands. That's because when you work outside the home you have no choice but to be focused on the task at hand. You go to work, put in your 8 hour work days and come home to tend to the needs of your family. Is it exhausting? Yes but you know that you have to put in your time or you don't get paid. However, when you work from home it is so easy to get side tracked and put things off until tomorrow. You may try to focus but can't help but think about the dirty dishes in the sink. Or, maybe you have small children to take care of and feel guilty that you are not spending enough time with them. Then you have family and friends who ask for favors or drop by unexpectedly because they assume you have nothing better to do. No matter what the reason is, it is easy to get side tracked.


I always look for interesting e-books and other online courses to help me increase my earning potential. I hate to think of how much money I have wasted over the years for over-priced e-courses and training videos promising to show me how to make a fortune working at home!). That's why I was thrilled to come across Dennis Becker's e-book that focuses on multiple streams of income each bringing in just $5.00 per day. Just do the math and you can see how lucrative this could be.


This is not a get rich quick program. In fact if you are looking for big riches overnight than this is not for you (and good luck finding it). However, if you are looking for some practical tips to get you started in the right direction as well as some great ideas then I would recommend it! It is well written by a successful internet marketer who uses these strategies himself.


Whether you are an experienced marketer or just getting started, these strategies are ideal for anyone. You will also find that his strategies will work for your current online projects as well as give you some great ideas for new ones. Just imagine having multiple streams of income each bringing in just $5.00 per day! And what's the best part? You can purchase this course for about half the price of a pizza!


Whether you want to earn money through direct sales, affiliate marketing, building niche sites, even off-line it doesn't matter. This is definitely a must read e-book for anyone who truly wants to work from home. Once you start reading it you wont want to put it down so be sure to print it out, find a comfortable chair and wait for that ah ha! moment to kick in for you. You will also find yourself going back to it from time to time.
