Are You a Developer or a Flipper?

Posted on October 10, 2007 11:52 AM by Joel Comm

A few years ago, making money on the Internet was a breeze. All you had to do was open the dictionary, register each of the words you saw on the page as dotcoms and sell them to someone in California for the price of a South American country's national debt.

It doesn't quite work that way any more.

These days, domain name buyers want to see figures. They want to know how much traffic a domain is receiving. They want to know if it's making money now. And they want to know exactly how long it's going to take before they get their own money back.

None of that means you can't make money buying and selling domain names. You can.

In fact, when you combine domain name selling with AdSense optimization, you can make a lot of money.

It's like the difference between a property speculator who buys an empty plot, waits for prices to rise and then sells it; and a developer who buys an empty plot then sells it together with an apartment block.

As someone who understands the way AdSense works, you have an advantage. You have the skills to develop domain names, turn them into going concerns and then sell them on. There are plenty of auction sites and forums where you can make those sales and if you choose the right names, they can be very profitable indeed.

You could either buy an empty domain and build it up from scratch or you could buy a site that earns little, overhaul it, improve its earnings and sell it for a profit.

Develop or flip, it's your choice. And the profits are yours too.

In case you missed it, I've written a special report on how to profit from domain names. I'd like to offer it to you for free!
