Invest in Domains http://40waystomakemoney.com/32-invest-in-domains http://40waystomakemoney.com/32-invest-in-domains#comments Wed, 22 Apr 2009 12:51:14 +0000 DaFiz http://40waystomakemoney.com/?p=123 Domain names are the new real estate. All of the 3 letter .com’s are taken and nearly all of the 4 letter .com’s are taken.

So that leaves 5 letter .com’s. Although world economies might be hitting the rocks, don’t worry about things online – things are still booming and even if/when we do have another dot com bubble burst, get ready to pounce on expiring domain names and sites that are selling for peanuts.

You only have to look at sedo.com‘s recent sales to see how much domain names are selling for nowadays… Here’s a few of the big guns over the pasty few years

  • Sex.com sold for $14m
  • Porn.com sold for $9.5m
  • Business.com sold for $8m

A good tool I use to ‘snipe’ expiring domains is http://freshdrop.net/

Unique niche sites http://40waystomakemoney.com/24-unique-niche-sites http://40waystomakemoney.com/24-unique-niche-sites#comments Mon, 30 Mar 2009 13:47:00 +0000 DaFiz http://40waystomakemoney.com/?p=100 I keep mentioning the words ‘unique’, ‘creative’, ‘interesting’ throughout this site. That’s simply because that is what will make you money online. That is the trick to make money online and that is in a nutshell what every site out there will tell you.

A custom designed site will sell for more than a standard one using a free template. A custom script will sell for more than a free one. A custom or unique idea, will get more traffic than a cloned one.

So if you outsource design and programming for a site, you have instantly raised the value of your website. Why not outsource the writing a content too…

You have just created a niche site which will have potential buyers falling over themselves to get their hands on it.

Whether it be a custom designed and programmed image hosting site or celebrity rating site, if some of it is custom built, that instantly adds value.

The key is of course to keep the costs down. Don’t pay a designer $100 to design a site for you. Start a thread on a popular forum asking who can design a site for you for x amount. You may get slammed by top designers, but screw them – there are guys out there who will work for peanuts and be more than happy to design a site for $10 – a quality design too. Let people fight it out in a price war whilst you wait for a quote you can afford.

Same with programming… head over to elance or rentacoder and post your request. Cheapest quote wins (provided of course they have a decent reputation). Combine the design, programming and domain name and you have almost certainly created a site you can sell for at least double what it cost you
